there will arise a situation more seri-

AS has been announced before in
the local news of the Leaaer a few
weeks ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr Oates
have rendered their designations as
superintendent and matron Of the
Dunlap 0rphanage. This resigna-
ton was accepted by the executive
board, and Tuesday they severed
their connection with this home
They have been connected with the
Home for more than nine and half
years, and have given some Of the
best years Of their lives in faithful
service to this work. We will mention
some Of the things that have been
done under their management. When
they took charge the work was small,
and not much more than a dozen
children in the home During their
incumbency more than six times that
number have been received into the
home and cared for by them. Some
have passed to that home above,
some have been taken out by friends
who were able to care for them, 9th
ers have left after reaching an age
sufficient to go out into the world on
their own responsibility, and they
leave AS children still in the home.
Besides the above facts, under Mr..
Oates management, with the efficient
executive board, a large addition was
built to The main building, all furn-
ished with furnace heat and acety-
lene lights, a deep we'll was put in,
and the building supplied with water.
In addition, Mr.. Oates was more
largely instrumental than any other
person in the organization of the
Sharon congregation, which is prov
ing great spiritual blessing to both
The orphanage and community at
large. 1t is with sincere regret that
we sec him and his worthy wife de-
part, but we trust that what is this
community's loss will be some other
deserving community's gain.
