The managers of the Episcopal Church
Home continue In that land of perplexities
lying between the boundaries OF "what to
do' and "what not to do" new building
is needed, for, truth to say, the rats will
leave the present one some fine morning,
without going through the formalisy OF a
goodbye" The expenses are not light
as any fairly keen sighted person must real
ize, who observes the superiority of
its arrangement and house legislation. That
money is needed much and at once, II an
energetic step IS to be maue, is most evident
The mistaken idea that the annual fair
provides for the annual expenses is q very
mistaken idea. II fourth of The years in
come is thus realized, it is due to the careful
and thorough management OF the managers.
The remainder, probab bly, three-fourths of the
en- tire sum. is raised by private subscription,
aided by several small interests. Jhere is
some doubt as to whether OF not the home
will be built on its present location, though
several reasons of sentiment naturally
attach themselves to the old spot. But the
land is very valuable. while the location can
not remain agreeable as it is to-day. Daily
growing gencroachments of Luwrencevflle
nature sending the price of the land up will
naturally have an entirely opposite effect
on the selectness Of the situation.
