1t was hoped at the time of our last re-
port that we would be able to announce the
completion, or at least the partial compile
ton. of the new building near the city for
the orphans, but while we cannot do this.
we are glad TO be able to say that everything
Is moving on encouragingly to this end
At the annual meeting on the evening Of
April 16'h, the plans Of this building viii
he submitted for your approval, ard full
report made upon this subject.
The storm Of last August did not bring
the destruction it was feared It's fury and
the exposed situation of the present home
at White Bluff would cause, the damage
being easily repaired at slight expense-ex-
cept as TO the bath house, which was carried
away. A temporary structure will be built
to supply the need ia this regard.
The excellent care of the Sisters has been
proven by the uninterrupted good health OF
their little charges, and their zeal and fer
vor find every dav new rewards in imbuing
Young hearts aud minds with the strength
and knowledge that must be their shield
aud protection when they go out into the
world.
The lady collectors of both parishes de-
serve largely the credit for whatever sid our
society has been able to give the Sisters,
aud the officers, while knowing these ladies
find their richest reward In the conscious
ness of duty performed, yet beg leave to
tender their most grateful thanks. The
several reports Of these ladies, list of mem
hers and the names of the orphans are found
in the Secretary's report hereto appended.
