To Those in Charge of the Colored Orphanage Enterprise provides Ellen White's counsel for leaders operating an orphanage serving African American children. This pamphlet addresses both the enterprise's specific needs and broader principles for charitable work and racial ministry. Topics likely included: maintaining spiritual focus while providing physical care, staff qualifications and attitudes, financial management and fundraising, educational training for orphans, avoiding patronizing attitudes, teaching practical skills alongside academics, and demonstrating Christ's love across racial barriers. White's counsel emphasized that caring for orphans represents sacred ministry, that racial prejudice has no place in Christian charity, and that such enterprises demonstrate gospel in action while preparing children for useful service.
Orphanage administrators and staff, charitable organization leaders, those ministering across racial lines, and all engaged in caring for vulnerable children.
