The report of the Orphanage Com
mittee was read by the chairman OF
the committee, Rev. /. n. Strother,
who deplored the lack OF interest
shown in this important institution.
He said that ii was caring for and
making good men and women out OF
hundreds of unfortunate children,
and that there were hundreds OF
others that should be cared for. Care
of orphans was one Of the most i'm
portant of the many great works I'M
dertaken by the church in Tennes-
see, and he hoped and prayed
that the brethren would subscribe
literally to the orphanage fund. He
says there is a debt OF $4,000 on the
building, which should be paid off in
two weeks if every good Baptist
would do his or her duty.

Thompson both made eloquent APP

$74. IS was subscribed.
