We are gratified to learn that the
services Of Miss Elizabeth Fuller have
been secured as Matron, and that she
has entered upon the duties OF this
responsible position with zeal and d
deity.
There are now in the home twenty
three boys and twenty-five girls, max
ing forty-hve souls committed to our
care
we regret very much that there
should be any deficit in the treasury
and are persuaded that such would
NOT he the case if the value and i'm
portance of the institution to the
church we're pressed upon the hearts
and consciences of the people, who
are ready to respond to the cry Of the
orphan.
We would earnestly recommend:
/. That our ministers and sessions
present with urgency the claims OF the
Home, thus giving the people an op-
portunity I'd respond to the call.
2. That some one be appointed in
every church, charged with the duty
Of soliciting funds for this object, and
the name of the appointee mace
known to Mr.. Duncan Mckay, treas
urer.
That the attention of our Sab
hath schools and our ladies societies
be called to the matter and their IN
terest be enlisted.
4. And that the entire Synod rally
IN the support of this God-appointed
trust which is not the care OF any
one Presbytery, but of all alike, thus
making the institution the joy and
nr;de Of the PRESBYTERIAN church OF
Tennessee.
That the roll of the Synod be
called and, each church pledge ltselI
a given amount for the support OF the
home the coming year.
G. That the present board be re-
tanned. with the addition OF Mr.. W..
Murray Hogan.

The report of the committe on the
Monroe Harding orphanage was pro-
ductiye of much discussion in regard
IN some of It's features. Each recon-
mendation was voted upon separately
and the report and all were finally
aAspted. but not until much time had
hean spent in discussion, which was
quite general, but in which Rev. DON
aid Mcqueen, chairman, and Dr. MIS-
bet. of Nashville, were most proml-
nent.
The chairman said that one man IN
Nashville was advancing the money
necessary 10 carry on the. home, ana
that a deficit existed, as shown py the
a report for the previous year. He v amt
,sed the churches represented to p'euse
J certain amounts in order to meet the
deficit. and put the home on a SOUND
financial basis. He said the nome
was an attractive place for the youns'
that the institution was one that was
worthy the support of the church ana
tbs synod. and that the saving OF the
orphans, and the opportunity to make
them useful citizens should not DC
neglected.
All we're agreed as to the lmpor'

of freeing the institution from deO''
