the Board of Managers of the Episcopal
Orphans Home. which will be read with
interest by the friends Of that instltutloh'
and which the Managers state would nave

THE REPORT.
1t has pleased God TO manifest his
goodness in many ways TO the Httle ~
mates of the Home during the year end
ing with Easter. 1888. W ltn one eScep-
ton. there has been no illness among the
children. and a mild form of measles has
been the only other serious interruption
TO endowment of good health. The sup
mort. education and comfort of the chill
dren. which is the self-imposed obligation
of the Board of Managers, have been
most literally promoted by subscribers
and friends Of the Home. as may be seen
BY referring to the faithful record OF the
Treasurer.
since Easter, 1882. four inmates have
been received into the Home, and two
whose service places proved undesirable.
have returned to the refuge they were
glad to reclaim.
Owing to the number Of very young
children under the MatrOn's care, it has
been Judged best not to allow the older
and more capable girls to enter into SER
vice places. lest the little o. a., together
with household duties. should prove too
great a care for these to receive constant
and proper attention.
The MatrOn. under whose direction the
year was begun. rendered her resignation
i'm the fall. and since Christmas the consci-
entious efforts of the new MatrOn have re-
suited in perceptible and gratifying i'm
prOvement of the children. Her faithful
discharge of duty encourages the mama
ayers to hope that they have placed
their trust in the hands of one
who is worthy and capable
Of executing their sincere and united pur-
pose TO benefit the orphans. While liber-
ality to this institution is undoubtedly
prompted by interest in the welfare of its
inmates, the managers recognize and SIN
cerely appreciate the fact that their ankle
ties. perpleXities and labors of past years
have become materially ightened, not by
their own efforts alone, but in great
measure by the help of generous friends.
| They would also express their sense of
obligation for the prompt and kind atten-
ton. always gratuitOusly given by the at
tending physician and by other members
of the medical fraternity, whenever cir
cumstances nave nldue IL necessary "
call upon them.
The number of managers has been re-
/ duced during the past year by the resig-
nation of two Jealous and earnest men,
bers of the board, and it has not yet been
/ deemed advisable to elect new members
/ in their stead. Death has OccasiOned the
| loss of one loved colaborer, whichis deeply
| deplored by all for whom andOwith whom
| she worked. Long may her gentle intiu-
ence and deeds of love dwell in living
/ hearts. though she rests from her labOrs.
| and 1.-The place that knew her will know
/ her no more" Z. i. LEHARDY,
