THE ORPHAN HOME TRUST BOARD.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir— A letter appears iu your columns today signed "Anglican," advocating the claims of the Orphan Home in the matter of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Our Board must, of course, be thankful that an unknown correspondent wishes us well. But it is necessary that the public should known that the Orphan Home Trust Board, as a Board, and I believe also as members individually, have not advanced, and do not at present advnrnce such a claim. When I had the honour at the last annual meeting of presiding, 1 stated probably, more emphatically than the distinguished gentleman named by " Anglican," the want of better buildings of a permanent character for our Home, but also just as distinctly that the Board did not wish to make this work an object in connection with the. Diamond Jubilee. Some ot us thought that there were other claims more pressing, and all of us knewthat when we begin the work so much needed, the people of Auckland, Church members or otherwise, will not fail us. This eiplanation is, I think, necessary, as tending to show that the Orphan Home Trust Board are not in any sense working against, or desiring to work against, the proposal of Archdeacon Dudley and others.—l am, etc., Ciias. M. Nelson, Chairman Orphan Home Trust) Besrd. Auckland, May 27, 1897.
