One little less aged than the others
has expressed a wish to go to Bal
timore to work where he says he
can, the other two are very aged and
infirm, and have requested the Trus-
tees to permit them to remain at this
home until God calls them to their
eternal Home, which. in the course of
human events, is time not far dis
tant.
The Trustees have decided to con-
tinue to care for these old men so
