PREFATORY REMARKS.


Under the impression that this very weighty address, made by the Bishop of Peterborough, on Anglican Sisterhoods, might with advantage be widely distributed by an Organising Secretary in Dioceses where there are as yet no "Homes" in union with the Church Penitentiary Association, I have reprinted it verbatim from "The Guardian," and presented an edition of 500 copies to the Council of the C.P.A., that being the only Church Society (it was formed in 1851) having the especial object of aiding in the establishment and maintenance of "Homes," under the management of "self-devoted" women.

A Treasurer of the C, Penitentiary Association, a Trustee of the C. E. Purity S., and of the Diocesan Home (Winchester) for the Friendless and Fallen.

Torquay, June, 1886.
