 President Mrs. Curtis and Managers of the New Haven Orphan Asylum-1t Is with great pleasure that 1 present you these gifts of money and merchan- disc which the good and generous citi- zens have so cheerfully given to-day. They gave them as a way of showing their appreciation of the lofty senti- ments and constant care which you daily exhibit toward the young lives which are here committed to you, and | they also want to congratulate you Tor the able and business-like manner Tn which you conduct the affairs Of this great institution. They have the high est regard for your business ability which is shown In the management Of an institution like this, and they have not forgotten what a noble thing 1t Is to furnish a home for the children, a sweet and loving home--one that each child in after years will look back upon with satisfaction and love.
 q can assure you that I have person al testimony of several who have gone from these dors of the high regard in which they held the home life here ir their childhood days. You managers combine level business head, strict l discipline and loving heart-three qualities by which you have solved | many perplexing problems.
 gro the Children--These gifts which are given you to-day may not nave been eoualled in amount in the last ter years and know you will all be giac when you realize fully the love whicf prompted 1t all. I want to give yot this year message and ask you to re- member it. It is the old adage A thing worth doing is worth doing we'll The little bows here, I think, have remem- bered this adage pretty we'll l have step-ladder in my office which wal made by some of you boys, and if | had not been made well l would have had many a fall, and l think others would have had, too. So 1t is with th' girls. What they do here ought to bt so well done that they could look back at it with pride. You cannot afford tt do things carelessly, and it makes nc difference whether you get paid for tho work or not Duty we'll done in this life constitutes mans, a. woman's, bows or a girls best reward.
