Serbia and other stricken countries of
Europe, according to an announce

returned from Europe.
For this purpose a large home, for
merly a famous,boys’ school, has been
purchased at Uccle, a suburb of Brus
sels. Several hundred children can'
be accommodated in this building, and
the Methodists will assume entire re
sponsibility for them and their future.
Another home has been bought at
Belgrade, Servia, a&d here the under

be given medical attention and cared
for. A staff of women physicians,
secured from Scotland, will be in
charge of this home.
Still another orphanage has been
taken over at Faversham, England.
This home already contains more than
a hundred Serbian children, orphaned
refugees who were taken from their
homes during the Austrian invasion.
Plight of Children Deplorable.

plight of the Belgian and Serbian chil

Germans, and thousands of children

gathered from the passers-by.”

as quickly as workers can be obtained
and supplies sent. These will be at
Brussels, Ypres, St. Quentin, Montdl
