God's Answers A Record of Miss Annie Macpherson's Work at the Home of Industry, Spitalfields, London, and in Canada

In the cramped, soot‑stained alleys of mid‑19th‑century Spitalfields, a determined young woman set out to rewrite the fate of the street‑children who roamed its shadows. Miss Annie Macpherson organized the Home of Industry, a modest sanctuary where hungry boys and girls received clean clothing, basic education, and the promise of a steadier future. Her daily rhythm combined prayer, practical training, and a fierce resolve to lift each child out of the grip of poverty.

Driven by that same conviction, Macpherson soon turned her gaze westward, arranging the first voyages that would carry rescued children across the Atlantic to the open fields of Canada. The early journeys were tentative experiments, offering the youngsters a chance to breathe fresh air, learn new skills, and experience a community eager to welcome them. Listeners will feel the hopeful tension of those first steps, as faith and perseverance meet the challenges of a new land.
