Collection for Orphans

By I. H. Evans

APRIL 6 is the time for the annual offering for orphans to be taken in all our churches. Most of our people have doubtless already read in the REVIEW of previous date, that the Haskell Home for orphans and the James White Memorial Home, located at Battle Creek, Mich., are institutions no longer under the direction and control of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
The present plan for providing for the orphans and aged people in our midst is that the several union conferences shall make such provisions for this class as in their judgment is wise and expedient.
The donation on April 6 will be taken for the purpose of enabling each union conference to make such arrangements as they may deem necessary to care for well-both the orphans and the aged people needing assistance in their territory. We trust the donation this year will be liberal, inasmuch as we shall have to start from the beginning in making provision to care for the orphans and aged among us.
We are sure our people will heartily respond this year, to give of their means for this good work as the need is as imperative now as at any time in our past history.
Do not forget the date of the offering, and let every one do what he can at this time.                       I. H. EVANS.
