N1ENNoNrTEs LOSE oRPHANAGE.
Slips Out of Grasp as Brethren Go to
Another Church.

Hillsboro, Kan, June 1.-THE
Crinean Mennonite Brethren church
has lost its large, beautiful orphanage
in a rather peculiar way. Neither fire
nor snow, neither debt nor lawsuit is
the cause for this loss, but the institu-
ticn just simply walked away from the
church. The four story stone build
ing, including the basement, and the
of money, and it is very hard for the
c. NJ. B. church to look on, yet that
is all they can do, except solicit the
institution to return.
Since many of the Mennonite de-
nominations are more or less closely
connected in their teachings they have
some of their religious activities in
common. Twenty-Five years ago the
G. NJ. B. church, through the support
of very liberal donations, erected the
HilIsboro orphanage. This institution
has won a good reputation all over
the state, and the state of Kansas has
granted a liberal support to this Or
phanage for receiving certain mum bers
of children from the larger cities of
this state. In recognition of these lib
eral donations, the church allowed sew
eral directors to be chosen from a
neighboring denomination. Last year
the NJ. B. church was represented by
two directors, while the c. NJ. B. IS re-
tanned the large majority of seven.
During the course Of the year four
of these c. NJ. B. directors left their
denomination and joined the NJ. B.
church, which gives this denomina-
ton six directors. The constitution,
which creates a board of nine direc-
tor, places the entire control, even
the election of new directors, into the
hands of this board. Now, since the
NJ. B. church has so unexpectedly OBJ
tanned a strong majority, the entire
control of the Home is with this
denomination. A very important meet
ing has been held by delegates of both
denominations, but the only concession
the NJ. BIS have so far been willing
to make is to return the building and
twenty acres of land to the original
owners. and retain the other 100 acres,
which they intend to sell. and then
with the funds erect a large hospital
in the city of Hillsboro. The other
church has not accepted this offer,
but is still hoping to regain control
of the entire property.
The NJ. B. church has, probably, sup
ported this orphanage through all
these years just as heavily as the c..
NJ. B. church. and the building has
been greatly improved and the 100
acres through liberal donations was
bought subsequent to the founding of
the institution.
