Description
Excerpt from Ten Years in a Portsmouth Slum
I hope, by means of preaching, to collect money for the Infants'' School of St. Agatha, for if it is not rebuilt now it will very likely cause the government grant to be withdrawn, and bring great injury upon the boys'' and girls'' school. These were built up at the cost of so much prayer and labor that it would be a blow that I could hardly bear if they had to be closed. There are also individual cases of boys and girls, sent from gaol and the streets, who have not quite yet reached the point of keeping themselves, and for whom I am still laboring and so, while I am enjoying the great pleasure and experience of this most delightful tour, I hope to be able to do some thing for my own work.
