DEEDS, NoT WORDS.

! Why call ve Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”

Not forever on thy knees,

Would Jehovah have thee found; There are burdensthou canst ease ; There are griefs Jehovah sees;

Look around.

Work is prayer if done for God, Prayer which God delighted hears,

See beside yon upturned sod

One bowed "neath -affliction’s rod: Dry her tears.

Not long prayers, but earnest zeal ; This is whatis wanted more.

Put thy shoulder to the wheel;

Bread unto the famished deal From thy store.

Not high-sounding words of praise

Does God want, 'neath some grand dome: But that thou the fallen raise; Bring the poor from life's highways

To thy home.

Worship God by doing good ;

Works, not words; kind acts, not creeds. He who loves God as he should, Makes his heart’s love understood

By kind deeds.

Deeds are powerful; mere words weak Batt’ring at high heaven’s door.

Let thy love by actions speak ;

Wipe the tear from sorrow’s cheek ; Clothe the poor.

Be it thine life’s cares to smother, And to brighten eyes now dim.

Kind deeds done to one another,

God accepts as done, my brother, Unto him,

HARRIET SMITH.

* ANNUAL 6

HE Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting of the Contributors to the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons, was held at the Home, Sixth month, 13th, 1889, the. President in the chair.

In the absence of the Secretary from the city, Sarah M. Carver was requested to act in his stead. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Geo. M. Whitten.

The Annual Report was read and on motion accepted and re- ferred to the incoming Board of Managers for publication. Rev. J. W. Becket then sang ‘‘ The Beautiful Land.”

The Treasurer's Report showed a very small balance in the treasury. On motion it was accepted and ordered to be printed with the Annual Report.

On motion the President appointed the following named con- tributors to bring forward the names of persons to serve as officers of the association for the ensuing year: Humphrys Garrigues, Henrietta S. Duterte, Lydia E. Pennock, Fanny M. Coppin and Sarah Bell, who submitted names which were agreed upon.—See page 3. |

After remarks by the President, he introduced Rev. W. C. Cattell Ex-President of Lafayette College, who made a very interesting address; saying in substance that it is the funda- mental principle of humanity, that the strong should care for the weak. The essence of our religion is in the generous

impulse that prompts us to share the fruits of our labor with others who are less fortunate ;—quoting from divine authority. * He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.” —He referred

+ ANNUAL REPORT, +

HE Board of Managers of the “Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons,” in presenting their Twenty-fifth Annual Report, feel that it is not unfitting on their silver an-

niversary to take a brief retrospect of the records of this in- stitution from whose origin in a small, obscure, three story dwelling on Front street—purchased at a cost of $5,000 and accommodating twenty-five inmates, it has grown to its present proportions. From the first annual report issued First month, 12th, 1865, we quote the following :—‘‘ A little more than three months ago, a few individuals came together to consider the pro- priety of adding to the benevolent institutions of our city a ‘Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons.’ They were impressed with the fact that there are in this community a class of worthy and exemplary colored people, who through a long life, have maintained themselves by their own industry—but who, in their old age, from sickness or other infirmity, have become more or less dependent upon the charities of the bene- volent. For a small pecuniary compensation, they have labored faithfully and contributed largely to the comfort of many wealthy families, and while their sacrifices and self-denying exertions entitle them to respect, it is felt to be a duty to provide for them a comfortable Home where they can be sheltered from destitution and poverty." For these reasons the Association was organized, and truly it may be said, the noble and generous

attractions, but in no previous occasion have I extended a more hearty one than I do to you. If any one doubts for a moment that we are living in an age of advancement and progress, it must be expelled from his mind as he looks on this scene and contrasts it with a few years ago."

From time to time as the needs demanded, and the funds were forth-coming the building has been enlarged, and improve- ments have been made by the introduction of such appliances as would add to the comfort and conyenience of the household. In the last year there has been erected in the Western limits of our lot, a new building of pressed brick, two stories in height, furnishing a very neat and commodious dwelling for the En- gineer, while the basement serves the purpose of an engine-house. The entire main building has been supplied with steam heat which proved entirely satisfactory with the winter test.

Some improvements also, have been made in the house and grounds which add greatly to the comfort and sightliness of the premises.

At the close of our last year we had 118 inmates; since then have received 5 men, 14 women ; died 4 men and 12 women and have at present in the Home a family 121; of whom 29 are men and 92 women. Many of them are very aged and feeble.

Since our last report several of our old people, who then stood patiently waiting upon the brink of the * unknown," have passed over, sustained by their unwavering faith in a blessed hereafter. ‘Maria Gibbs, who for many long years, with her poor sightless eyes, groped through the darkness, shut out from the glory of each new born day, was at last overtaken by a most loathesome and painful disease which taxed her own patience, and that of her nurses to the utmost. The query often arose with her and all who saw her, what would have been her fate if she had not found the shelter and protection of this Home? Through these hot weary days she was always patient and thankful, —an ex- ample to many of those more favored.

Mary Robinson who died on the Ist of the Third month, was very aged—supposed to be one hundred years. She had been an inmate of the Home for fifteen years, and during all that time had been a general favorite, not only of her house-mates

10 | Twenty-ffth Annual I veport.

but of the Managers as well. She was never heard to complain or find fault, always manifesting a cheerful spirit in her daily life, and died in the full assurance of “the rest that remaineth."

The domestic management has met with our approval in all the important details. The Matron, as far as possible, aided by a well trained and well disciplined corps of assistants, has made the family comfortable. The qualifications to fil such à position, it will be readily understood, are rare and peculiar and success in the adminstration of such a trust is no mean | achievement.

The holidays have all been appropriately observed. Christmas in particular, was a royal fete. Their dinner was by common consent, pronounced excellent, and George Roegner donated a generous supply of ice cream and cake for their refreshment in the evening.

Many kind friends contributed at various times and in various ways to the amusement and instruction of the family, and thus relieved the tedium of their lives. We cannot say too much in praise of the kindly spirit that prompted this, and in the name of their grateful auditors we extend heartfelt thanks. If space allowed we would cheerfully make especial mention of those who thus gave ungrudgingly of their time to this service.—See page 36,

Religious meetings have been regularly held on the Sabbath and during the week—These are always seasons of comfort and cheer, satisfying a craving peculiar to the race—unknown and unappreciated by a more favored people.

Thomas Whitson, a ministering Friend from West Grove, ac- companied by John Thomas, had a meeting with the family, under a religious concern, which was highly appreciated and comforting alike to the visitor and visited.

On Donation Day many substantial reminders of the interest felt in this little community of aged and infirm ones found their way into the Home. |

Legacies and special donations have been received from :—

To THE PRESIDENT AND MANAGERS. Listeemed Friends :

It is with much pleasure, that I present for your consideration my Annual Report with the desire that it may merit your approval.

When we think of those who have borne the heat and burden of the day for so many years, previous to entering the Home, (as many of our inmates have), and also considering how many of them have advanced to the age of four score years and ten, and comparatively speaking, are in the enjoyment of good health, we must certainly admit that a ] à blessing unto them.

The sanitary condition of the Home, has been, and is very satisfactory. The mortality of the house, although we have had a number of very serious cases, has been less than the previous year.

No contageous or infectious disease has visited the family. The types of disease have been those of pneumonia, dropsy, paralysis, peritonitis, inflammation of the bowels, gangrene, can- cer, one accident, coughs, colds, etc. At present the family are in a comfortable condition.

The perfect order, the cleanliness, which speakes for itself, i Managers, and the faithful keeper.

I have received as donations drugs, medicines, etc., per kind- ness of William Weightman, (Powers & Weightman), Rosengarten & Sons, John C. Baker & Co. Fellows & Co. N. Y. Parke

Davis & Co., Detroit, Michigan; All of which I have acknow- ledged.

25th Anniversary of the “Old Folks’ Home.”

LTE come, but not to celebrate, Amid the flight and whirl of years, The deeds of heroes, on whose brows Are laurels, drenched with blood and tears.

Nor yet (4 tell of wondrous deeds, Performed on fields of bloodless strife ; But of the lovely, precious things, That bless and beautify our life.

And from the annals of the poor, We would unfold a shining page ; And tell of kindly hands that smoothed The rugged path of faltering age.

To shelter those who long have borne Life's chilling storms and searching heat, In restful homes, with love alight,

What charity more pure and sweet ?

But not beneath this spacious Home Was laid the first foundation stone, But in the hearts that learned to feel For woman, stricken, old and lone.

To Hall and Truman, Still and Laing, Was given power to aid and bless; And, faithful to her sacred charge, Constant and helping, stood Ann Jess.

May Sarah Pennock, whose kind hang Has often brought the “ Home” relief, Feel life replete with God's great peace ; Findlight in darkness, joy in grief.
