TINT if our good people could visit these
institutions and see the children and
realize their condition, they would heir
them. 1t is all right, of course, fol
the millionaire to give millions to The
universities and colleges, and SO pro
vide cheap education for the poor; but
there is a class of helpless, friendless
children scattered over the land who
will never get to college, and who
would be grateful for bread and clothes
and shelter. The scriptureo make nc
mention of schools or colleges, but the
fatherless are mentioned over and oyer

Were face to face with those who suffer.
1t is not pleasant business to hunt up
the poor and look upon want and rags
and pale faces, but it ought to be done

catur just to see how the children were
getting on. My good friend, Robert
Henlphill, went with me. He is the
business man of that busy paper, the
Constitution, but next to his family
his hearts affections are absorbed in
the orphans home. He is the preside Mt
of the board, and ought to be. He goes
there every few days, and the children
smile when he comes. On the way he
