Adorned Bristol Homes Improving Mottos Mullers Occupied Orphan Sewing Walls Youth Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the Girls Hall at George Muller's New Orphan Homes in Ashley Down, Bristol. Located in House 5, the room is filled with the vibrant energy of young girls, all engrossed in their sewing projects. The warm glow of Christmas decorations adds to the cozy and inviting atmosphere, with twinkling lights and festive garlands adorning the walls. The girls' faces are focused and determined as they work, their hands deftly maneuvering the fabric and thread. The walls of the room are adorned with inspiring mottos, reflecting the values instilled in the children at George Muller's Homes. These mottos, such as "Trust and Obey," "God is Love," and "Look Unto Jesus," served as guiding principles for the children in their daily lives. The room is a testament to the caring and nurturing environment that George Muller's Homes provided for thousands of orphaned and destitute children throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. George Muller, a German-born British religious leader and philanthropist, founded the New Orphan Homes in 1834, with the belief that every child deserves a loving and stable home. The Homes were self-supporting, with Muller relying on faith and prayer to provide for the needs of the children, rather than seeking external funding. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the girls at the Home, showcasing the joy, determination, and hope that flourished within its walls.
