Mr.. H.IIIpaY made a statement of the plan and
purposes of the institution and gave an epitome OF ITS
benefcent results. With this were cited several IN
stances of suffering and restitution on the part oil Mite
children through the misfortune or reckessness OF pa
rents which had been relieved by the Home and their
Subsequent transfer TO kind and Christian parents here
and elsewhere. These but examples OF thousands
wherein aid had been extended during the past twelve
years.
After singing by the children, DIR. EGBERT GUERs-
SLY read an address. He alluded to the abject pow
erty in which thousands Of children were yearly born
in this city. During the past monthone OF the most
healthy in the vear-one hundred little corpses We're
carried 10 paupers graves from this city, Those who
lived, born under such circumstances became ready
victims Of vice. and soon were prohcients in crime
These were by the Society, snached from the bad in
f,uepce and saved for better and nobler destiny Pa
rents too whom misfortune had cvertaken found IN
the Home temporary relief for themselves, ana
good care for their children IN the future
through the Society. Thus, one hundred and
forty little had been saved during the past year
Looking at the matter one of policy, the speaker
asked III not better TO prevent crime by relnov-
ing those likely 10 become criminals from the tempa-
tons of the city, than TO attempt 10 stem the current OF
crime when those children left among us should by
untoward circumstances become depredators upon
society. ,,.,,

He alluded to the history Of Italian nobleman who,
contemplating suicide came upon some suffering chl-
dren The 10y that he experienced IN alternating thelf
wants had altered his intention, and he lived TO carry
ont works of Christian charity This Society was one
organized for systematic Christian charity aud noble
commentary upon New-York was that such society
did exist The importance Of home influence upon
the rearing Of children alluded TO in elegant terms,
and the speaker contrasted the plan OF the
Society incorporating this with the alms-house
system, in which home sentiment was en-
tirely forgotten, and even impossible. lheSe,
coupled with education had the effect to transform the
most uninteigent and uncouth children into intelligent
and beautiful ornaments Of the family circle. lnstitu.
tons Of this kind were the glory of Christianity and
he delighted TO speak Of their achievements. They
would form grand themes for the pen Of the historians
of our country who would do justice to the memories
Of those who had devoted themselves to the good
work.
The Rev. Asa ID. SMITH, D. d. delivered the con-
chding address. He said, IA no looked upon the
scene before him, and looked upon the report, he
could but say that the subject was one that needed no
commentator. He enlarged upon the Importance OF
the institution Of the family as conservative ele-
ment in the preservation of Christianity. This insti-
tuition sought to furnish partially the want of homes
for suffering little ones, thirty thousand OF whom
were in the cellars, garrets and streets OF
this city. Again. the Society had an inn
portant Influence in perecting the homes OF
sonary abors Of this city could not fail TO lead parents
to look With greater to the condition OF their own
homes The speaker commended The Adroc&e and
Guardian the organ Of the Society to the support of
the peol le He commended the work to woman as
the best agency in the hands Of God by of her
peculiar characteristics, to carry it forward to It's
highest success.
