the Year
AMOUNT EQUALS THAT
Of THE PREVIOUS YEAR

The Rt. Rev. John J. Monaghan,
blshop OF Wilmington, has issued in
Dook form the annual report of the
collection for the orphans of the do
cese. The report was read i'm all the
churches of the diocese yesterday.
Inc amount collected amounted to
$6,SSS.66. Bishop Monaghan said:
It is gratifying to announce that
Notwithstanding the numerous appeals
made to our faithful people during
the past year, the orphans collection
FOR 1910 is about equal to that of any
previous year. This result is both
creditable to the diocese and at the
same time most providential for our
TWO orphan asylums, as never before
in the history of these institutions
nave we had so many children to care
lot as at the present time. But for
tne liberal contributions of our peo-
PIE and the generous self-sacrifice Of
our devoted sisters, it would be i'm
possible to shelter, and feed, and
clothe the large number Of orphans
now in st. James Protectory and ST.
Peters Female Orphan Asylum.
This report Of the collection for
the year 1910 is published in the hope
that 1t will reach all the people of
our diocese, so that the result may be
known to all who have contributed.
and they may realize our grateful ap-
probation Of their charity, which our
Divine Lord will not fail to reward a
hundred fold in this life and In the
life to come. The prayers Of the or
phans will bring untold benedictions
on their generous benefactors. whose
names are recorded in these pages.
