    FOR THE CARE, EDUCATION, AND TRAINING OF IDIOTIC, IMBECILE, AND WEAK-MINDED CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS, BELONGING TO Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Westmorland, Cumberland, Durham, and Northumberland. TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. ‘ God help the Imbecile ! more dark their lot Than dumb, or deaf, the cripple, or the blind : The closed soul-vision theirs, the blighted mind ; Babes though full-grown ; the page of life a blot. 1 Yet say, shall their affliction be abhorred ? Their need o’erlooked ? shall Charity pass by, Leave them to perish with averted eye ? Forbid, the love that burns to serve her Lord! ’ OFFICES: ROYAL ALBERT ASYLUM, LANCASTER; EXCHANGE CHAMBERS, BANK STREET, MANCHESTER. Secretary,—Mr. James Diggens. DECEMBER, 1887.
