The Orphan Home, Parnelt, Auckland. APPEAL. lhe disastrous lire that occurred al the Orphan Home, i'arnell, Auckland on Sunday, September 17, will 1« fresh in thu minds of the readers o this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain the extent of the loss, its effect upon the present comliticn oi thu children, and thu urgent necessity lor l'umls to provide adequately and wisely for their future welfare. Children from the districts where this paper circulates have from time to time been cared for in the Home which has, therefore, n particular as well as a general claim upon your sympathies. 1-TIIE LOSS. Tho two Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 70 children. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, Staff IKningroom, Sewing room, Seamstress' Jledrotmi ami Hospital aro totally destroyed, and, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing and Furniture has been los-t. What this means to the children and to the matron and her staff can hardly be conveyed by mere words. 2.-NEW BUILDINGS. Tho matter of providing New Build;s has been receiving tho careful isideration of tho Board, as appears by tho last two annual reports, <md a New Buildings Fund has been created. In providing permanent accommodation, tho safety of the children is a consideration of paramount importance, and this can only be secured in Buildings of Stone or Brick. 3.—THE COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines is roughly estimated at from £,-,000 14 £7OOO. in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase land. 4.—THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaming tho 89 children in the Home. The numbers have increased since i •Hst March, 1905, by 28, and for the ' current year, owing to such increase, the Board anticipates a debit balance of expenditure over receipts. This will, of course, be increased by the expenses inevitably attendant' upon tho fire. ..To take any considerable sum from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamper the work, of the Home, and prejudice the well-being of the children. Tho New Building Fund Account now stands at £lllO. The insurance, on the Building destroyed is £1250. Hough estimate of amount still required for Building is £tc,lo it has been already sialyl that the Hoard had to form a Building Fund. Hud it proved necessary tc make a Public Appeal, in the future, for that fund, the amount asked for would have been eotnparilively small NOW THEItE IS NO ALTERXAN.VTIVE: THE APPEAL HAS TO CO FORTH TO-H.VV FOfi £SOOO, THE APPEAL OF THE CHILDREN For the sake of the good work done in past years, for the sake of tho larger -work to bo'done now and in the years to come, and above all, in tlw name of Christ, for the sake of His little <:nes, we appeal for hell..
