Show THE ORPHANS' HOME AND DRY NURSERY. In the hurry of the Fair and Conference the people must not forget The Orphans' Home and Dry Nursery, which wll have its nineteenth anniversary anni-versary on the 13th instant. The institution was started with little capital save the faith of its projectors; pro-jectors; it has struggled with poverty from the very first, but it has taken in, provided for and found homes for two thousand fatherless and motherless children; it has forty helpless children chil-dren in Its charge now and It can provide for no more unless it can oulld a needed addition to the Home. This should be made possible by the generous gen-erous people of this city. The old and sick adults who are destitute should be provided for, but there is no charity that counts for so much as to take helpless children and put them in the way of growing up to lives of usefulness. The ladies who are doing this work are working without reward; they want none except the consciousness of having hav-ing performed a great duty, but the children need something which they cannot give and it Is for this they make their appeal. Surely, those who have an abundance will respond if they but stop and think that their own children have been spared the hard tate which breaks the hearts ot so many around them. |
