The disastrous fire that occurred at Iho Orphan Home, Parnell, Auckland, ou Sunday, September 17, will be fresh in the minds of the readers of this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain tho extent of the loss, its ef« feet upon the present condition of tho children, ami the urgent necessity for Funds 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, a particular as well as a general claim upon your sympathies. I.—THE LOSS. Tho two Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 70 children. Tn addition, the Matron's Quarters, Staff Diningroom, Sewing room, Seamstress' Bedroom ami Hospital are totally destroyed, and, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing ami Furniture has been lost. What this means to the children and to the matron and her stall can hardly be conveyed -by mere words. 2.—NEW BUILDINGS. Tho matter of providing New Buildings has been receiving tho careful consideration of tho Board, as appears by tho last two annual reports, -and a New Buildings Fund has created. In providing penutanent accommodation, the safety of tho children is a consideration of paramount import' aticc, 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 £3OOO tft £7OOO, in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase land. 4.—THE FINANCIAL I'OSITION. Tho income from tho Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining tho 8U •jiiildivn in the Home. The numbers have increase*! since .'Hst March, IUOS, by 128, and for the current juar, 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 lire. ..To take any considerable sum from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamper the work of the Home, ami prejudice the well-being of the children.

The New "Building Fund Account now stands at XIIIO. Tlio insurance on the Building destroyed is ri2:>o. Amount available is £2ft(>o. Hough estimate of amount still required for Hujldin# is £4 6'K. Tho Home has not received any Government subsidy for the last twenty years. It has be<*n already slated that the Board had br<g'un to form a Building Fund. Had it proved necessary U niako a Public Appeal, in the future for that fund, the amount asked foi would have been comparitively small NOW THERE is NO ALTERNA NATIVE: THE APPEAL IIAS TO 00 FORTH TO-DAY FOR ATIKVSI <£sooo. THE APPEAL OF TITS CHILDREN For the sake of the good work done in past years, for the sake of tho largvr v/ork tu be done now and in the years to come, and above all, in tho name of Christ, for the sake of His little cues, we appeal for help.
