The Orphan Home Parnell, Auckland. APPEAL. lhe disastrous fire that occurred i the Orphan Homo, Paruell, Aucklan on Sunday, September 17, will | iresh in tho minds of tho readers this paper. This appeal is intended to mat plain tho extent of the loss its e i«'t upon the present condition , the children, and the urgent nccossit [.- lor lands to provide adequately an wisely for their future 'welfare. Children from (ho districts w )iei this paper circulates have from tim to tune been cared for i n the ||,,ui, which has, therefore, a particular a well as a general claim upon you sympathies. I -THE LOSS. The two .Main Dormitories are -lb solutely destroyed, that, is, the sleeping accoimnodation of over 70 chi! •Iron. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, start Dining-room, Sew inroom, Seamstress' Bedroom aiKi llos° pital are totally destroyed, and, sides this, a considerable quantity af Clothing ami Furniuiro has h What this means to the child to the matron and her staff"can" hardly be conveyed by mere words. 2.-XEW BUILDINGS. Tho matter of providing New Buildings 'has been receiving tho ~-~.f»i consideration of tho Board, a pears, by tho last two annual reports, <rad a New Buildings Fund has been created. In providing permanent accommodation, the safety of tho children is a consideration of paramount importance, and this can only be secured in Buildings of Stono or Brick. 3.—THE COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines is roughly estimated at from £SOOO U £7OOO, in addition to which it maybe necessary to purchaso land. 4.-THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining tho 89 children in the Home, lnc numbers have increased since 31st March, 1905, |,y 28, and for tho current year, owing to such increase the Board anticipates a debit balance nf 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 tho well-being of the children'. The New Building Fund Account now stands at £ll3O. The insurance on the Building destroyed is £1350. Bough estimate of amount still required for Building is £4(340 The Home has not received any Roverraiiwit subsidy for the last twenty years. It has been already stated that the Board had bogun to form a Building Fund. Had it proved necessary to make a Public Appeal, in tho future, for that fund, the amount asked for would have been comparitively small NOW THERE IS NO AI.TERXANATIVE : THE APPEAL HAS TO fiO FORTH TO-DAY FOR £SOOO, THE APPEAL OF THE CHILDREN For the saku of the good work done in past years, for the sake of the largvr work to be 'done now and of His littl« help. :0S 11. NELSON', I confidently commend this appeal to the charitable consideration of those who care for Christ's little eaes. 1 am tmsured that the Orphan Home Board will take all wants into consideration in their plans for tho future.
