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 ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
| strong y 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, 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
| Deplora6te and Destitute Condition,
and suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
'HOME AND SCHOOL"
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
lish and endow, will be of incalculabe benefit by
| providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulraess to Society at Large

enlisting the active interest and cooperation of
