The Orphan Home, Partial!, Auckland. APPEAL. The disastrous fire that occurred at tho Orphan Home, I'arnell, Auckland, on Sunday, September 17, will bo fresh in the minds of the readers of this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain t-ho extent of the loss, its effect upon the present condition of the children, and the urgent necessity for Funds to provido adequately and wisely for their future welfare. Children from the districts where this paper circulates have from time <o time been caied for in the Home, which has, therefore, a particular as well as a gem-rat claim upon your sympathies. 1.-THE LOSS. The two .Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 7U children. Jn addition, the nation's tjuarli'i-s, Staff Diningrooin, Sewing room, Seamstress' Bedroom and Hospital are totally destroyed, ami, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing and Furniture has been lost. What this means to the children and to the matron and her stall can 2.-NEW IiI.TLDIXOS. The matter of providing New Buildings has been receiving the careful consideration of tho Board, as appears by the last two annual reports, ivnd a New Buildings Fund has iK'en created. In providing permanent accommodation, the safety of the children is a consideration of paramount importance, and this can only be secured in Buildings of Stone or Brick. 3.-TIIE COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines is roughly estimated at from £r>ooo U £7OOO, in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase land. 4.—THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from Hie Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining tho 89 children in the Home. The numbers have increased since Jllst March, 1005, 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 the 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. The New Building Fund Account

The insurance on the Building-des-troyed is £1230. Amount available is £2300. liuugh estimato of amount still required lor Building is £4040 The Home lias not received any Government subsidy for the last twenty years. It has bern already stated that the Board had bngim to form a Building Fund. Had it proved necessary to niako a l'ublic Appeal, in the future, for that fund, the amount ashed for would have been coinparitively small NOW TIIEHE IS NO ALTEUNANATJVK: Till!: APPEAL HAS TO GO FORTH. TO-DAY FOli £SOOO, THE APPEAL OF THE CHILDREN For the sake of the good work done in past years, for the sake of the larger work to be done now and in the years to come, and above all, in the name of Christ, for the sake of Hie little ones, we appeal for help.
