II 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 II is now pass
in to widen the circle Of Its charities is OF such
an ardueus nature that the management cannot
too strongly urge upon the humane and sympa'
thetic everywhere, an active participation in
this additional attempt to alleviate the sad con-
dition 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 poetiedt views OF iadies
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
nerS0nS
The Home and School" which they now more
particularly seek to establish and endoao, will be
of incalculabe benefit by providing not only
food and raiinent for these helpless ones, but
like wise solid and thorough educatlon tnus qua.
flying them for future usefulness to society at
large. In order that this appeal may DO effectu'
al in enlistng the active interest and co-opera'
tion of all classes of persons everywhere, we
