God's Answers is a book that chronicles the work of Miss Annie Macpherson at the Home of Industry in Spitalfields, London, as well as her efforts in Canada. Written by Clara M. S. Lowe and originally published in 1882, the book provides a detailed account of Macpherson's work in establishing homes for destitute children and young women in both locations. The book begins with a brief biography of Macpherson, detailing her upbringing and early experiences that led her to become involved in charitable work. It then moves on to describe the conditions in Spitalfields, a poverty-stricken area of London, and the establishment of the Home of Industry there. The author provides insight into the daily life of the children and young women who lived there, as well as the challenges faced by Macpherson and her team in running the home.The second half of the book focuses on Macpherson's work in Canada, where she established similar homes for destitute children and young women. The author describes the challenges faced by Macpherson in adapting to a new country and culture, as well as the successes and failures of her work there.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes Macpherson's deep faith and her belief that her work was a calling from God. The title, God's Answers, reflects this belief and suggests that Macpherson saw her work as a way of answering God's call to help those in need.Overall, God's Answers is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the work of a pioneering figure in the field of social welfare. It offers a vivid portrait of life in Victorian London and Canada, as well as a compelling account of one woman's commitment to helping those less fortunate than herself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
