Omaha daily bee., 1890-01-12

All of which is hereby very thankfully ac-
knowledged.
This is all the money we have received
for tins purpose. OF this sum a, 52S, 66 has
been donated by good people in the east, and
the balance, SIT, 100 80. by generous people of
Omaha, and SO, 600 more Is pledged. About one
third of this should have been paid last year,
the other oue-third is due this year, and the
last One-third is subscribed on condition
that it be paid gradually, as the work pro-
crosses.
OF the money received 1850 has been
paid out on the hospital ground and the rest
Tor the building. AS this excel ent building
now stands it is all paid for except a 81, 900
mortgage on the ground and a small sum for
the managers running expenses. We have at
present no debts Whatever.
The ladies whom we nave sent to the east
and abroad, to be trained for their work, are
doing very well. Some of them have shown
excellent qualities and have already acquired
a splendid training for work of mercy and
charity. In June next at least three of them
will return to Omaha. In Il few months
from now we will be able to furnish a little
company OF trained nurses, who will do their
good work, mot as hirelings, but US hand
maidens of the Lord - not for salary, but on
the principle of true charity. We have had
applications from many other ladies', who
wish to join us in this work, but we can not
receive any more until we get the work in
such shape that we can train them at our
own institution in Omaha. After we get the
~ WV ohDOSb W EcU
strong financial support from the east. But
as to the question, when that will be, when
the building will be finished, the generous
people of Omaha must decide.
Before the hospital building can be finished
and the work commenced we need about
Sl5,0 900 cash for the hospital and 5000 for a
home for the deaconess family. Snail we
not get the money soons
A pamphlet explaining the necessity and
the character of the deacOness work will
soon be sent to some of the people OF Omaha,
whom we knew. If SOM others who are in
terested in the cause of humanity send us
their names and addresses, we will be very
glad TO mail a copy of this pamphlet TO each
error occurs on the eighth page, which we
herewith want to correct before 1t is sent
out. The name of Mr.. John H. Helm (of the
firm of Helm az ThomsOn) is left out of the
list of trustees. But this gentleman is
nevertheless u trustee of the Hospital asso-
citation ard a good one, too. After the
annual meeting of the trustees, which Is TO
be held at DIR. Miller's office in the New York
Iife building next Wednesday, the public
will hear of us again.
% The Emmanuel Orphans home, in which
there are at present five destitute child rem,
has continued the past year as before. The
cash receipts during 1889 were $3iO,0s: The
expenses for house rent were s96 and for the
support of the home S26I 10. AT the end of
the year there was consequently a shortage
OF SiI,C2. AS Christmas presents we received
a big TURKEY, and other good things from
Mrs. X. w. Il. Crowell and ~ cash from Mr..
1 obeck, ir, all of which are thankfully
acknowledged. WIN not some friends of the
poor children send us what is needed for
this work during the winterl And, as
according to the accounts of the last two
years, it costs about $40 or $50 for each child
for the year, are there not some persons in
Omaha who could send us such a sum, and
by doing so take upon themselves the sup
port of our poor children for a yearl
Please let the great cause of suffering
humanity be considered.

Manager.
