Grod. Then there are many, very many, who are able to give and would be willing, bnt the subject has not been brought to their im mediate notice in such a way as to call for action. It is my pur pose to try to reach many of these during the summer. I feel that there is cause for complaint against many of the Masonic Lodges in tlie western part of the State, for tlieir remiss ness in carrying out the resolu tion of the Grand Lodge in re gard, to the Orphan Asylum. Out ot the whole number of Lodges ivest of the Blue Ridge, there are only three or four which seem to have taken any action under that resolution. At least, I have re ceived no report from more than that number. It wmuld be some relief to hear from them, once in a while, even though they' had nothing more to report than that they had tried and done notliing. Tins would show that the Asy lum, the resolution of the Grand Lodge and their duty in regard to it, w'ere not utterly ignored and forgotten. Of the large number of gospel ministers, of all denominations, in this part of the State, there are only a very few, from whom I have received either cooperation or encouragement in any shape, although the orphan work is, or ought to be, it seems to me, a part of the work of every Chris tian minister and Christian church. But I will not fill mv letter with complaints. Here are many warm friends of the orphan cause hereabouts, friends who have again and again given substantial proof of their interest and good will, and upon whom I feel that I can rely in any emergency to the extent of their ability. May the number of these be increased. The appeal gotten up by the recent convention here in behalf of the institution, will soon he sent out, and I am in hopes of its having the effect of awakening a,u interest in the orpliau work and resulting in something more substantial than that sort of sym- jiathy which say's, “go, be y'e fed, and be ye clothed,” y'et lends no helping hand to the accomplish ment of the wish. The times are hard; every'body says so, and everybody ought to know ; and many plead this as an excuse for doing nothing for the orphans. I wonder how hard the times will have to get for tire orphans to live on nothing but the hope of their becoming softer. James II. Mooee, Steward'. THE ORPHANS’ FRIEND Wednesday, June 2S, ISfC. Hon. Kemp P. Battle, a model gentleman and an accomplished scholar has accepted the Presi dency of our University'. And now we look forward to that day when some of our promising or phan boys may be educated there. Rev. E. A. Wilson of the Ma sonic Journal paid us a visit last week. He became personally ac quainted with many of the chil dren, offered several excellent prayers for their welfare, and left upon all the most pleasant impres sion. His paper is worth much more than he charges for it, and his visits will prove beneficial to any family. We give him a standing invitation to onr home, and to the Orphan Asylum. The barrel of flour, credited last week to W. S. Barnett, was presented by' Robert D. Barnett of Granville. 1 he St. StepherTs Concert hast week re.alized $34 6ir the O-tford Orph.aii Asylum.—Biblical Mecordcr, The ladles of St. Stephen’s church gave a concert, in the chap el of the Orphan Asyflnm, for the benefit of the church. Hold ns responsible for every' cent we receive ; but the people ought not to expect us to feed hungry orphans on money raised for and retained by churches, even though they, borrow our Chapel. Lonisburg Female College is to be opened under the presidency of Rev. F. L. Reid. We are al ways glad wlien a wise and good man devotes himself to the spe cial care of the y'oung. An ac complished scholar, a faithful minister, a devout and godly man. Novv don’t let any girl in Frank lin, or any adjacent country, grow up in ignorance.
