Iv NEED. | House of Providence Orphans' Guild Seeking Renvenue. | Contributed. | A large meeting 6f the Orphans' {Guild was held at the House of Pro- | vidence on the 14th inst.. the object being to discuss and devise means lof increasing the revenue of the orphdnage at St. Mary's of the Lake. For the past six years the mem- {bers of the Guild have labored most energetically and successfully in aiding the institution, but the in- | creased cost of living coupled with la large increase in the number of {children to be provided for, make greater efforts imperative. | | | { | | It may be interesting to many to know just how Lhe institution. is sup- |ported. There are at present sixty- children. For sixteen of thewe chil- dren, five dollars a month is receiv- led; for fourteen of them, -sums| ranging from sixty-five cents to three {dollars and seventy-five month have been paid. cents a For the re-| !maining seventy-seven children, the | institution receives no remuneration | (excepting the Legislative grant) for| their care, and many of these have to be supplied with clothing. The| grant from the Legislature mention- | ed above is two cents a.day for each | ¢hild. The City of Kingston, through | its Council, has never given any aid to 'this institution, although there are forty children belonging to the leity in the orphanage. It will be readily seen that the sources of revenue are absolutely in- ladequate to meet the expenditures of th orphanage, and the great burden of Its support falls on the House of Providence, an institution taxed to its limit in supporting the great 'number of inmates now within its walls. Just now, the burden impos- ed upon the House of Providence seems to be beyond the possibility of Being borne, and only the firm trust in God's holy Providence serves to sustain the courage of those in charge. At a second meeting of the Guild, which was largely attended, it was decided to hold a garden party on the Housé of Providence grounds early in June. : The an election of officers also took s meeting with the results: Pregident, Miss Agnes Doo- lan; first vice-president, Miss Agnes Walsh; second vice-president, Mrs. James.
