Excerpt from A History of Bethany Orphans' Home of the Reformed Church in the United States, Located at Womelsdorf, Pa History of Bethany Orphans' Home, at Wom elsdorf, Pa., was published by order of the Board of Managers, in 1888. Considering the fact that most of the early records of the institution were destroyed when the home was burned, in 1882, that history is as complete as it could well be made. But eighteen years have gone by since the first edition was published, and in that time many things have been done and experienced at Bethany which may be of interest and value to the Church, especially to that portion of it which helps in the work of caring for the orphans. At the suggestion of the venerable president of the Board of Managers, the present superintendent has carefully revised the first edition, has patiently searched the official minutes and other sources of In formation and has arranged the material thus gathered into chapters, which bring the history of the institution up to date.
