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 add-
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
Deplora6le and Destitute Condition.
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
III ON A Nd SCHOOL"
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
lish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
ucation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulness to Society at Large.

enlistng the active interest and CO. operation of
