labors. Encouraged, then, by such grateful manifestations,
they look forward with strengthened assurance to even more
propitious results. When the history of the late National
derangement in social, moral and political affairs shall have
redeemed itself, and peace shall have done its complete work
of restoration, scattering from beneath its wings unnumbered
blessings, it may well be hoped, that after so long and drea-
ry a winter of anxiety and desolation, a more enduring pros-
perity will burst forth as the seeds of the earth in spring
time, and yield its later harvest abundantly. Then may we
witness labor equitably repaid for its toil, and industry re-
warded for its honest enterprise. But, above all, may we
then hope to feel its purifying influence upon the moral at-
mosphere, infusing new life into every practical work of be-
nevolence, and added vigor and earnestness into every wise
effort for the diffusion of the law of kindness, for the regen-
eration of the lost and the brotherly restraint of the erring.
In the accomplishment of such results, will be witnessed too
the acceptance of the great, truth, that man is indeed his
"brother's keeper;" a truth which will find its best illustra-
tion in the kindly reformation of the young delinquent be-
fore his steps shall have been irretrievably familiarized to
the downward path of ruin, and he become in his manhood
an outcast upon the earth with the curse of the first Cain indel-
libly seared upon his forehead. In such a work of renovation,
and sustained by a gratifying retrospect of what already has
been done within the sphere of their special duties, the Board
may well labor on with renewed confidence, that big with
the best results the future will bring forth its fruits more and
more abundantly.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES M. KEYSER, President.
JOHN J. GRAVES, Secretary.
Baltimore, Jan . 1, 1866.
