We acknowledge, with deep graf
itude, that kind friends have never
ceased to remember and care for the
Home. When the pantry and cellar
have been bare Of provisions, and our
wood house empty, we have oftimes
felt anxious and discouraged, but the
promise of the Lord: 81 will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee" has always
been verified. From some source, and
often the most unexpected, the means
have been provided. On Thanksgiv-
ing, Christmas and New Years days,
many gifts were brought, and the ia
BILE provided with all the substantials
and delicacies of the season; ard we
herewith return our thanks to the no.
BILE men and women who ever hold the
homeless and friendless in kindly re-
membrance. Also, to druggists, mer-
chants, grocers, butchers. bakers, dali
~ men, market men, and millers Of
Richmond and vicinity, we are under
constant obligations, and for their
generous liberality We thank them all
Kindly, hoping they may all realize, to
the fullest extent, that He that Civ
eth to the poor lendeth to the Lord"
Respectfully submitted,
