ltmay seem unnecessary to add single 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 an active participation in this addi-
tional attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered
thus by the terrible war 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
DepI0rabte and Destitute Condition.
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion The
III ONE A Nd SCHOOL'
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
lish and endow, will be of ncalculable benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucatiq2n, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulness to Society at LARGE
