Right Rev. Bishop Stevens invites the
attention of all Episcopalians to two projects
which it is hoped may be carried out These
are the enlargement of ''The Church Home
for Children, and the founding of the "Pro-
testant Episcopal Church Home and Orphan
Asylum of Philadelphia for Boys"
The Church Home" has been in success
full operation for thirteen years. and has now
reached point when it becomes necessary to
enlarge its operations and remove from its
present building. Through the liberal offer
of Christian woman, the managers will be
able to secure for the Home a building site
consisting of one and a half acres of ground
at the Angora station (the first station) on the
West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad, ten
minutes ride by rail from Thirty-irst and
Chestnut streets, together with eleven acres
(about two squares distant from the station)
to be held for the future endowment of the
institution. The proposed Orphan Asylum
for Boys is the outgrowth of pressing need
for such an institution in connection with the
Church. 1t is estimated that there are ten
thousand children in this city growing up
under the most immoral and debasinp in
fiuences.
The Bishop designates Sunday, the Both
instant, when collections shall be taken in the
Episcopal churches to further these charitable
aims.
