A NEW WORKER FOR
THE MISSION
I nr years one of the deeply felt
needs of the orphanage h.ts been a
''"•nan '"do the ( uokitift and to teach
the i hildreu to cook. Not simply a
hireling but one who would tie iutcr
i -ted in the work and in the best in
Ms of the orphanage Mtssionar
■' that ilisct iptioit .lie not easy to
one was found in Grandma
tpbell, who for years did that
k most acceptably, but on no ount
shortage of workers she had to
ci\e it up to take a matrons place,
i *..c then there has been a p ones
r a of others who were vvoikinuon,\
r the pay and had no special inter
1 111 the welfare of the Home.
I 1st summer we inserted an adver
inent for a missionary cook in the
baptist and by that means we
wen- [nit iu touch with another Mrs.
>inpbe 11. She arrived here the 5th
"I lllis mouth and the next day us
med her duties in the kitchen.
We find tier just what our friends
re "tnmended tier to tie, the ri^ht one
‘■■r ltie place. She is not only an ex
.cut cook, a good teacher, econom
i'J‘ and scrupulously clean about her
work, also but a great help in the
Sunday School and evening services,
where she acts as organist.
h - long tiours of service for
■ i t lie at woik by s:30 in the
morning and often earlier than that,
and it is not often that she gets out of
the kitchen before seven o’clock in
the evening. Frequently when her
work is done in that part of the house
she may be found in the assembly
room teaching the boys to read mu
sic and sing some of the songs in our
new hookc.
For some time we luive contemplat
ed making n change in the arrange
ment of tlu store room and pantry.
As it is now. in order to reach that
room from the kitchen, one has to
]>ass through a corner of the child
ren's dining room and around
through the giil'" cloak room. We
are now at work transforming what
h is Icon a i*o,i ] and wood house, ad
joining the kiti hen. into a frost.proof
kit v lu ti pantry.
A smai 1 house has been built just
outside the kitchen door, which
serves the *'• ! ie pu:p* se of a storm
house and vv< od shed. 1 v this ar
I .i Mg' merit tne cook will l.e saved
miles of walking ami hours of tune
in the course of a month.
