of children she latter psrt of the fol

Jenkins was tl e foupaer of the
inst'.rulion. and he gave the last years
of bis noble life to the task of enlist
ing tho interest of the people in the
undertaking. As its first Superintend
ent, he laid deep and broad the foun
dation fur its present greatness. Tev
oreud J. N. Col'!, of precious memory,
succeeded Reverend J.' W. Jenkins, and
was a great master-builder. Under his
wise administration the Orphanage

Picknicking.
Mme the pride and joy of every Metho
dist within the bounds of the North Car
olina Conference.
The Methodist Orphanage now has two
hundred and fifty care-free, happy
boys and girls who are being trained
for future usefulness in all the rela
tions of life. These children live in six
brick buildings, modern and attractive
in design. All told, there are nine brick
and four frame buildings on the campus.
We have one hundred acres of land in

responded liberally to appeals for en
largement and have provided new build
ings when asked, still the church has
not kept pace with the support, and the
present campaign to culminate on
Thanksgiving is for the purpose of get
ting this support fund brought up to
the increased needs. |
God has given humanity the privi
lege of doing many things for Him, but

children is the cause above all others
that appeals to our hearts, our heads
and our hands. To know of this work
in to want to have a part in it.

these, the number cared for is 7J5.

larger boys are organized into boy scout

The average cost per child last year
was $238.18. This includes everything*
If the Mothers’ Aid’ were counted in
this average it would be considerably
reduced.
The cottage plan is insisted npon.
As early as possible the central dining
room is to be abolished and every cot-!
tage converted into a unit cottage, eacn
a family unit to itself.
Immediate Needs: Each year calls
for about $150,000 for regular support.
This amount can be raised from regu
lar sources. But for converting ouf
old cottages into the unit type, build
ing two more cottages, and completing
and equirping the new kindergarten
building, -fre shall need a large increase
in co'yfributions this fall. .
