The disastrous fire that occurred at tho Orphan Home, l'arnell, Auckland on Sunday, September 17, will b fresh in Ihe minds of the readers o this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain the extent of the loss, its effect upon the present condition ol tho children, and the urgent necessit lor Funds to provide adequately an wisely for their future welfare. Children from the districts wher this paper circulates have from tim to time been caied for in the Home which has, therefore, a particular a well as a general claim upon you sympathies. I.—THE LOSS. Thb two Main Dormitories are ab solutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 70 children. In addition, the Matron'B Quarters, Staff Diningroom, Sewing room, Seamstress' Bedroom and Hospital ore totally destroyed, nnd, t*. sides this, a considerable quantity oi Clothing ami Furniture has been lost What this means to the children an to the matron and her staff can hardly be conveyed by me/e words. 2.—NEW BUILDINGS. Tho matter of providing New Iluild ings has been receiving the curcfu consideration oi the Hoard, as ap pears by the last two annual re ports, and a New Buildings Fun has been created.

In providing permanent uccommod ation, the safety of the children is consideration of paramount import ancc. and this can only be secured i Buildings of Stone or Brick. 3.-TIIE COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines i roughly estimated at from £SOOO t £7OOO, in addition to which it ma be necessary to purchase lami. 4.—THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Board's En dowments is fully absorbed in main taining the 89 children in the Home The numbers have increased si -J Slat March, 1905, by 28, and for th current year, owing to such increase the Board anticipates a debit balanc of expenditure over receipts. Thi will, of course, be increased by th expenses inevitably attendant upon thu fire. .To take any consiilerabl Kurn from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamp er the work of the Home, and preju dice the well-being of the children. THE A [TEAL OF THE Cllfl.DliEi For the sake of the good work done in past years, for the sake o tho larger work to be <lor.e now an in the years to come, and above all in the name of Christ, for the sak of His little cnes, we appeal for help.
