EVERY denomination of Christians and Jews in New York city has found it necessary to make provision for the poor and unfortunate of its own pale, and the march of benevolent enterprise in this direction for the last few years has been exceedingly gratifying. Something more than two years since, a society, composed principally of members of the Fifth Avenue Universalist church(Rev. E. H. Chapin, pastor), was organized, for the purpose of founding and maintaining a home for the aged indigent of their society and acquaintance. The society encountered such discouragements as usually attend enterprises of this kind. During the last year several lots were purchased by the managers, situated on Sixty-sixth and Sixty-seventh streets, between Lexington and Third avenues. A fair to aid in the accomplishment of the enterprise was held in the armory of the Twenty-second Regiment, for a number of days, beginning April 10th, 1871, which netted the society about $10,000. Subscriptions have been vigorously circulated, and about fifty thousand have at this writing been thus realized.The Legislature has also recently favored the Institution witha donation of $10,000. With these sums the managers are now erecting the "Chapin Home," which will probably be furnished and opened for the reception of inmates some time during the present year.
