good work. There comes a financial
blessing on those VINO do the will OF
God, and those who have contributed TO
the support OF the Home will receive
their reward 90 the last day. II may
be that your child may not
need the care Of others, but
1t matters not, if IL is
not yours it may be some other fond pa
rents. The family is the first appoint
ment of God on this earth. When you
provide home comforts for others you
are co-worker with God. The
Home has been richly blessed.
When child is saved

A GREAT WORK
FOR your city. as great as an engineer
who bridges the yawning chaSm over
which you cross in safebY.
The third and last speaker was the
Rev. Z. II. DOrnblaser, who was Presi-
dent OF the Home until the first of last
December, when he removed TO Spring
field, Ohio He gave very interesting
account OF bis STEWARDSHIP Of which the
following is an abstract:
REV. DoRNBLAzER's REMARKS.
ut affords me no small degree Of
pleasure, dear friends, to DO present TO
night and participate in the celebration
of this twenty-tfth anniversary Of the
Children's Home OF this fair city. ln-
deed, | have never had share IN any
work which gave NE greater pleasure
than our work together here 10 behalf
of frendless and orphaned childhood.
have felt it TO be very kind ProVi-
dence that led me here and that gave
me q share 10 this noble charity. IL
was ennobliug TO be associated with
such 4 band Of devoted Christian women
as compose the board Of lady managers.
To meet with them once a month 20
transact the business of the Home, TO
devise ways and means 10 conserve the
Interests Of the little ones, was healthy
stimulus to me. To witness the self
denial Of these cody women, TO see
them, as | have so often done, engage
in work arduous and trying, exposing
themselves TO heat and cold and wet,
going into undesirable localities and
doing for these helpless ones what
many parents would scarcely do for
their own. was TO me most emphatic
lesson in self-denial FOR snOther's good.
10 was ennobIing to my Christian man
hood to see " hat these faithful Christian
women did for the SAKE OF Him who
said: 'Inasmuch as ye have done IL unto
one OF tho least of these ye have done 1t
unto me-
II have felt It TO be equally an honor
and 4 benefit to be associated with the
men who com pose the Board Of Oirec-
tors. This relationship was blessed
unto me n good incentives and broad
ening influences. II gave me deeper
devotion TO Him whom try 10 serve TO
be connected with these practical bust
ness and professional men who put into
this work the same business acumen
and tact that they have 80 successfully
applied ia The prosecution OF their own
business. Iu fact they made IL part
OF their regular systematic business life
TO look after these
HELPLESS LITTLE ONES.
These associations which were never
otherwise than pleasant and profitable
have deepened my generous impulses
and Qulckened my benevolent energies,
aud given me much broader develop
ment. They have amazingly helped
me 10 see the worlds needs and how TO
meet them.
And doubt not that what blessings
and benefits / have experienced In my
connection with the boards in this
work everyone associated with this
charity has experienced, l cannot
limit the reflex influence of
this benevolent work done here, 20 per
sons who were directly connected with
it's management. Hundreds, yes, thous-
auds OF the citizens OF this city and
vicinity have realized and do realize
the same. Indeed, the officers OF the
home could never have carried on It's
noble work, had it not been for the
hearty and liberal supportand co-opera-
ton OF the people. II is a matter upon
which the citizens OF Wheeling are 20
be congratulated, and for which they
are TO be commended. ! used TO hear it
said. when resided here, that this city
was slow and behind the times, aud i'm
progressive. Now, when ! compare the
enterprise and fathfulness and steady
going character OF the people OF this
city with other cities OF its size, l am
led 10 think those assertions we're
sLANDERoUs FABRICATIoNS.
The people OF Wheeling are as gener-
GUS and charitable, as regular aud sys-I
tematic in their benehcense toward this
aud similar public charities as any peo-
ple with whom have ever come into
contact. The way you business men
have responded in regular quarterly or
annual cash donations to the support
OF these needy and interesting little
ones has been admirable, and the way
the busy housewives Of the city and
surrounding country have filed the
THANKSGIVING Day sacks for the Home
and sent load after load up TO the Home
was always very gratifying thing Tor
me 10 behold while here, aud 1t is
thing that have had the most pleasant
thoughts about since have removed.
will never cease TO hold II up as a
noble thing to be initiated by the peo-
pie of other places as l may have oppor-
tuuity.
I'VE owe a vote Of gratitude to the
memher Of the board OF directors who
devised this way OF helping the Home
and bringing reflex blessing TO thous-
ands OF other homes. The thought and
care the people of this city have for the
welfare OF the Children's Home aud the
helnless little ones there cared for is IN
