1t may seem unnecessary to add a single word
| to the above address, but the calls upon the In
/ stitution have been 80 numerous and pressing,
and the struggle through which it is now pass.
ing to widen the circle Of its charities Is Of such
an arluous nature that the management cannot
| too strongly urge upon the humane and sympa-
| tbetic 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 political views of ladies'
and gentlemen heretofore, on must agree that
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
persons, of whatever shade of political opinion.
The Home and School" which they now more
particularly seek TO establish and eadotc will be
Of incalculable benefit by providing not only
food and raiment for these helpless ones, but
likewise solid and Thorough education, thus quail
flying them for future usefulness to society at
large. In order that this appeal may be effectu.
