lG may seem unnecessary to add single word
TO the above address, but calls upon the Institu-
tion nave 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-
tonal 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, whatev err may have been
the relative political views of ladies and gentle
men heretofore, all must agree that the children
ha TO- could not, BY any possibility, have
Deptora6te and Destitute Condition,
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
II NJ E. 4 N D HOOL'
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
uoation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulness to Society at LARGE
In order that this appeal may be effectual in
en1lSting the active interest and cooperation Of
all classes OF persons everywhere, we have con-
cluded to issue for the
Grand Presentation Musical Concert.
