Itmay seem unnecessary to add a 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 .-...4
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
DepIora6le and Destitute Condition,
and suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
| "H OF E A Nd SCH DOR
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
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
| ucation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulaess to Society at Large
! In order that this appeal may be effectual in
enlsting the active interest and cooperation of
all classes of persons everywhere, we have con-
| Guided to issue for the
| Grand Presentation Musical Concert.
