session without recording our grateful sense
OF Gods great mercy towards our efforts for
the relief Of our fellow citizens. in the time Of
their great need. Within me nae expiration m a OF TWO

ninety-four boys have been received. brought
from the country where they had no opportu-

placed under the influences of a refined and

By referring to the able and elaborate report
be seen that to the Pioneer Southern Educa-
tional Aid Society, originated by Mr.. w. w.
Glenn, Of Baltimore. Maryland and by his ex-
ertions kept alive and sustained. we owe 1t
that our deficiencies, month by ruonth, nave
been met. 1t has been on his part, and on
the part of ali who have subs crit ed towards
this work. on instance of the most d,sinterost-
ed symp thy and 3eneyoierce; and to him and
to all who have subscribed, we beg to return
our heartfelt and grateful thanks, knowing
that the only reward they eau have in this
who they have helped to make useful pem-
bers of society, who without their aid would
have been deprived Of the great benefits which
have been conferred. We trust that God. who

We feel it due to the matron o. the Home

which she has displayed and our appreciation Of

here. are many who can 90 no better
than last year, the price or production of cot

Society for the coming term, according to the
statements that we frat made them that we
would need aid for three years. Too much has
been done to let it be lost, and one more year

To commence as on entire charitv and to accom-
plish this in three years, we think will meet
with the approval OF our supporters. We feel

Of the Episcopal Church, we have never re-

not been Of that church, and we have both in
the Home and in the School many children
