Excerpt from Homes of the London Poor IN reprinting the following articles, by Miss Octavia Hill, of London, it is not proposed that the system described is, in all its details, applicable to this country. The conditions of poverty in America and in England differ widely. The Municipal forms of Government there are very unlike our own. But the broad truths of humanity are the same everywhere, and the principles which underlie Miss Hill's efforts, those of helping the poor towards self-support and self-respect, of bringing to their aid an unwearied pa tience, a true sympathy, and a large hope, of loving them and trusting them, above all, of realizing that they and we are children of One Father, these principles are applicable to all countries and to every people.
