Mrs McWhinnie Passes Away
On the 19th of this month the Or
phage lost a most valued friend in
Mrs James McWhinnie, who passed
away at the home of her daughter,
Mrs Ernest Sargeaut, in Spokane,
Wash.
Over 2l> years ago m the home of
Kev. mi«i Mrs MeWhinuie in Cam
bridge, Mass a company of people
met to pray. The burden of their
prayer was the orphaned, homeless
and destitute children of Alaska, and
that a ivay might be opeued to allevi
ate the sufferings of these unfortu
nates.
1’hey rose from their knees to help
answer their prayer. The result was
that an Orphanage was built under
tile auspices of the Womens American
Baptist Home Mission Society. Mrs
MeWhinnie was appointed Supt. of
the Alaska work. She visited Church
es and Sunday Schools all through
Now Eng. and raised many thou
s indsof dollars for the establishment
and maintenance of tho Orphanage.
Next to her own family and houie her
energies were spent in the interests
of this home for Alaskan children
In tho summer of 1909, accompan
ied by her daughter, and Miss Bain
of Portland, Mo. and Mrs Bonney of
Boston, she visited tho Orphanage,
much to the joy of the children and
the missionaries, it was a visit never
to be forgotten.
I’liB children loved at once this
charming Ken tie woman who had been
instrumental iu doing »o much for
their comfort and happiness. Ifer
sudden death came ns a great shock
to us all
The poem on the first page, written
by Dr. McWhiunie about the time of
the founding of tho Orphanage gave
aid and inspiration in railing money
for the work.
