1t may seem unnecessary TO add a single word to
ton have been so numerous and pressing, and the
struggle through which it Is now passing to widen
the circle OF Its charities, Is OF such an arduous
nature that the management cannot too strongly
urge upon the humane and sympathetic every;
where an active participation In this additional
ATTEMPT to alleviate the sad condition of great
numbers OF helpless children, rendered thus by
the terrible war through which we have passed.
And assnredly, .whatever may nave been inc rela-
tofore, all must agree that tho children referred to
could not, by any possibility, have had an agency
in bringing about their present deplorable and
destitute condition, and are suitable objects for the
charity of all persons of whatever shade OF politi-
cal opinion. The Home and school which
they now more particularly seek to establish and
endoto will be Of incalculable benefit by provi-
ding not only food and rsiment for these helpless
ones, but likewise solid and thorough education,
thus Qualifying them for future usefulness to So
ciety at large. In order that this appeal may be
e~ffectual In %enlisting the active interest and CO.
operation of all classes OF persons everywhere,
we have concluded to issue for the
GRAND PRESENTATION MUSICAL CONCERT
