I know of no work that counts so much as this very work in which you have been engaged To take during one year two or three hundred children from the streets from crime and wrongdoing and place them in homes surround ed by religious opportunities and fam ily privileges and in this way bring ing them up to be useful citizens of this Dominion in which we live is a work which time cannot estimate and eternity alone will explain and unfold You have reason to congratulate your selves not only upon your work but that the people appreciate your work Sometimes there are those engaged in excellent work who make sacrifices as the ladies and gentlemen in this organization make sacrifices whose work is not appreciated But your work has been appreciated by the general public and assistance and help has come to you from various quarters Then as to the future and the hope that that liberality will not only be continued but extended your Worship will I am sure permit me to say a word with regard to the sug gestion thrown out by himself that theGovernment should grant some thing I am aware that the city grant is large I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of your re port which I perused from beginning to end with great pleasure I could not fail to note that large grant of from the city council to your society I recognize and the Mayor recognizes that in his capacity as May or of the City of Toronto he is expect ed to aid this society with the appro val of the Council for the time being I dont know what proportion of your expenditure in the City of Toronto is given to charitable and beneficent purposes but I know this that in the larger sphere of- the Province where for the time being my responsibility is to all the people of Province in the management of affairs amount given for benevolent purposes is about onethird of the total expen diture of the Province each year Applause J Is there a country on the surface of the globe a province anywhere that does so well I Where the poor downtrodden those who are in dis tress and sorrow are so well cared for as the people of Ontario If there is I have not heard of it yet But my good friend the Mayor perhaps unin tentionally did not quite do justice to the Province in this rdatter It is true you do not any grant to this particular association or society but if you look over the estimates of the Province of Ontario for this year you will sec that some six or seven thous and dollars were sot apart for the spec- ftl purpose of aiding neglected who having used Dr Agnews Catarrhal Powder pronounce it the most effective
