It may seem unnecessary to add single word
To the above address, but the calls upon the In
stitution have been so numerous and pressing
and the struggle through which it is now pass
in q e. widen the circle of its charities Is Of such
an arduous nature that the management cannoi
too strongly urge upon the humane and sympa
tbetic everywhere an active participation IN
this additional attempt to alleviate the sad con
dition of great numbers OF helpless children
rendered thus Dy the terrible war through which
we have passed. And assuredly whatever may
have been the relative political views of ladies
and gentlemen heretofore, az must agree that
the children referred to, could not, by any posi-
bility have had any agency in bringing about
their present deplorable and destitute condition
and are suitable objects for the charity of all
persons, of whatever shade Of political opinion
The Home and School which they now more
parti ildrly seek to establish and endoic, will be
of incalculable benefit by providing not only
food and raiment for these helpless ones, but

living them for future usefulness to society al
