a little late this time through Rev. E Il.
DornblaSer leaving the city Just as he
was In tho habit Of making Il yearly
report
II is always pleasant to record the
fosterings OF disinterestcd love and
beneHcence. And every institution like
our Children's Home Is positive COM
mendation Of tho teaching oil the Naza-
rene when He claimed that to give
rather than 10 get, to help rather than
10 be helped constituted lies golden
opportunity, highest usefulness and
supreme satisfaction.

as in the past, the continued blessing OF
God upon our work, and the kind aud
generous support OF the men aud wo-
men OF our city. No sickness more
Rfieyous than measles and who0pinG

during nineteen years previously, so
during the past year, careful medical
attention has been freely given by Dr..

ness Of this family Of twenty-five child
.fen during the past year testihes alike
70 the hoalthfulness OF the location Of
the Home and TO the wise and scrutinlz-
{ibg care Of the matron.
That during these times o! financial
atringency the material wants Oh the
Home have been mot in the usual
Thanksgiving sack Offering, which was
quite as generous as in previous years,
and by the liberal and regular benefac-
lions Of many at other times, indicates
the truly large place WHICH this noble
charity occupies in tho thought, affect
ion and sympathy OF tho people OF this
city and affords constant encourage
ment 10 the directors and managers who
give OF thoir time and ability to the
guidance OF its Affairs.
