35th ANNUAL REPORT - OF THE -
ORPHAN'S HOME AND ASYLUM FOR AGED AND INFIRM - OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH, GERMANTOWN, PHIL'A, PA.
These Institutions of our Church have now rounded out thirty- five years of their existence.
From the day the first child was received into the fostering care of the Church, March 12, 1859, the work assumed greater proportions and deepening interest which necessitated arrangements for accomo- dations far beyond what the first Home, in an unpretentious dwelling on Main Street, Germantown, could afford. On April 29, 1862, the corner stone of what is now called the Old Building was laid ; the building itself rapidly finished, and ample accommodations provided for all those seeking shelter and care under its roof. Our Home promptly opened its doors to receive the Soldier Orphans in 1864 ; no less than 98 being consigned to its care by the State Superinten- dent. This large number forced the managers to secure a larger building ; and on July 24, 1865, the corner stone of the present or- phanage was laid, and the building rapidly completed.
Since 1859 no less than 600 children have found asylum in our Home, 379 boys and 221 girls, of which number 52 boys and 46 girls were Soldier's orphans. Up to the present date 334 boys and 199 girls have been removed, being received into christian families or returned to their mothers or guardians-and 20 children, 11 boys and 9 girls have been removed by death .- This percentage is very small when we consider that these children are received from homes of neglect of- ten no less than of poverty, and they bring with them diseases and infirmities inherited from parents, and even resulting from severity and neglect.
During the past year 10 boys and 4 girls were admitted to the Home-and 7 boys and 6 girls were returned to their parents. Though there has been considerable sickness off and on among the children, yet, we are grateful to say that no serious results have followed and the present health of the children is very good. " There are at present in the Home 45 boys and 22 girls, making a total of 67.
Under the conscientious and painstaking management of the Super- intendent and his wife the children have been well cared for, the dis-
. - 2 -
cipline of the Home has been improved, the intellectual and spiritual interests of all the inmates ably conserved and the general good of the institutions constantly secured.
The financial condition of the Home and Asylum, especially during this year of business stringency and financial depression, de- mands our grateful acknowledgment of God's faithfulness toward His needy and helpless children, as also our honest appreciation of the diligence and care of the Superintendent, President and Treasurer.
In June, 1893, Miss A. Rott entered as assistant to the matron of the Home. In July 1893, Miss Gertrude Metzenthin entered the Home as teacher of the Kindergarten. During the past summer and until the end of February, 1894, Mr. Paul Metzenthin, a student of our Theological Seminary, has rendered valuable services as tutor over the boys of the Home.
The every-day instruction of the children is persecuted in both the German and the English languages by two competent and faitlı- ful teachers. The pastor of the Institutions imparts the religious in- struction in Catechism and Biblical History. Worship is conducted once in English and once in German every day. Divine services in German and English are held regularly on the Lord's day in the chapel with the children and old people; and the children confirmed when old enough.
During the year the Board had the old and dangerous heating arrangement taken out of the Orphanage and a steam-heating appara- tus with complete coils and radiators put in, thus removing the stoves from the building, affording better comfort und satisfaction ; have secured swings and gymnastic apparatus for the children and have fitted up the first floor of the old building as an industrial department, thus enabling the boys to usefully occupy their spare time, and the Superintendent to test and gauge the mechanical ability and disposi- tion of the boys.
The following are employed in the Home :
Mrs. Rev. A. C. Mueller, Matron.
Miss Adele Rott, Assistant to Matron.
Miss M. Rohlfs, Teacher in Main School.
Miss G. Metzenthin, Teacher in Kindergarten.
Mr. J. Reichardt, Tutor.
Miss A. Nissley, Nurse.
Mrs. F. Wilson, Cook.
Mr. Geo. Haas, Gardener.
The care of those, who had become enfeebled by years and were without the help and protection of others, was part of the original plan of the Orphan's Home. The first building, into which the first child was received in 1859, opened its door for the admission of the first person into the Asylum,-May 10, 1860 .- The present building was erected in 1880-and up to this present date 125 persons, 23
-3 -
men and 102 women have been admitted to the Asylum. Of this number 97 have died and 24 have left or were taken to the homes of friends.
There have been admitted to the Asylum during the past year 2 men and 3 women, making a total of 28 in the Asylum to-day .- Applications for admission have been left unanswered since the build- is full in every part.
This constrained the Board to enter into a contract for the com- pletion of the third story, main and back buildings, making a boys' dormitory for the present of the space over the chapel, and single apartments of the main building for the use of the aged .- This work is expected to be furnished and ready for use about the 1st of May .- The heating and sanitary arrangements have undergone extensive al- terations and repairs .- There has been considerable sickness in the Asylum during the past winter, as the number of deaths show. Under the matronly care of Mrs. Pietzsch the old people appear comfortable and contented, and the Asylum is made inviting and restful to these souls, whose day is fast hastening to its setting, and for whose com- fort no effort is spared.
The following are employed in the Asylum :
Mrs. L. Pietzsch, Matron ;
Miss D. Kahle, Assistant
Mrs. E. Terry, Cook.
Mrs. W. Unger, Domestic.
Rev. G. P. Mueller, Superintendent and Housefather.
The labor and anxiety which the care and responsibility of these Institutions impose on the Board, and especially on the Su- perintendent, are heavy and incessant. - But a willing hand has always been held out by the Lady Visitors, whose interest never flags, whose tender concern for the orphan and the aged is ever strong and prompt, and whose energies and activities even in the face of disappointments and difficulties, are quick to seize upon necessities and compass gratifying results. Our Ladies are deser- ving of lavish praise and unstinted thanks for their indefatigable labors of christian love and benevolence.
Though the income of this year has not been up to the expec- tations and demands, for well-known reasons of scarcity in work and wages, the churches have done goodly work in sending in do- nations and thus helping to keep down the cash expenditures ; for which we desire herewith to give public expression of thanks.
Special sonstraint however, is laid upon the Board to voice its deepest gratitude towards the kind friends who have so generously remembered our institutions by will and bequest. We feel grate- ful for these proofs of renewed confidence in the management of these institutions of the church's benevolence on the part of our people - and we call special attention to these gifts in the Trea-
- 4 -
surer's Report - and herewith extend our hearty appreciation and thanks, in the name of the Institution and the church, to these kind friends and their families.
The German Hospital, Phila., has on several occasions kindly received for special and successful treatment cases sent to it. - The care and attention given our patients within its walls call for public recognition and special thanks.
Dr. George Friebis, 1720 Chestnut St., Phila., has rendered most acceptable and efficient services as ophthalmologist in the Home and Asylum, sparing neither time nor attention for the relief and comfort of the patients.
W. H. Staake, Esq., has given most valuable services to the Institutions in promptly aiding the Board in their efforts to straighten out and settle up such matters as needed legal advice and guidance ; and, as these occasions have been of frequent and protracted occur- rence, the Board desires thus publicly to express its gratitude.
Donation day was held June 8th 1893, and was an occasion worthy, in every way, of the able and successful endeavors of our Lady Visitors and Churches. June 14th has been fixed as the Do- nation Day for this year.
April 27th the annual Examination of the school took place ; and the Anniversary will be celebrated in St. John's Church, Race above 5th Sts., Rev. E. E. Sibole, pastor, April 29th at 3 P. M. Confirmation will take place in the chapel of our Institution on Ascension Day, May 3rd, at 3 P. M.
When we remember the thousands who have clamored for food and clothing and fuel, and consider the condition of our orphans and Infirm, with food and raiment sufficient for them, comfortable rooms and beds, constant care and training, and freed of every fear and anxiety, we have abundant reason to thank our Heavenly Father, and under Him, the christian hearts and hands, for every mercy and bles- sing, trusting the same kind providence to provide the necessary means, from the abundance of His faithful people, to care for the needs of these helpless souls, whom Christ has purchased with His blood and whom He commands His Church to keep and feed.
The Superintendent now meets regularly with the Board. No bills are paid except vouched for and orders are properly drawn by the Finance Committee. The Treasurer submits monthly reports - and all books, papers of value, accounts etc. are annually audited by persons outside the Board.
The term of service of H. Lehman, H. S. Cassel and Rev. F. P. Bender expires with the next meeting of the Ministerium.
Rev. C. J. HIRZEL, Secretary.
