1t may seem unnecessary to add singh word
to the above address, but calls upon the Institu
| ton have been so numerous and pressing and the
| struggle through which it is now passing to wi
den the circle of its charities is of such an ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
| strongly urge upon the
Humane and sympathetic
everywhere, active participation in this addi
| tional attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
| great numbers of helpless children, rendered
| thus by the terrible through which we have
passed And assuredly, whatever may have been
the relative political views of ladies and gentle
men heretofore, all must agree that the children
| referred to- could not, by any possibility, have
had any agency in bringing about their present
| DeptOrabte and Destitute Condition,
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion The
| III ONE Il ND SCH OOL
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
fish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
| providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation thus qualifying them for
| Future Usefulness to Society at Large
