RELIEF OF THE FIVE POINTS PooR,-Mr,
w. C. Van Metre, of the Five Points Mis-
SION, delivered discourse in this city last
Sunday evening, charitable appeal Tor the
Door ia connection with his particular mis-.
sion. 1t met with hearty response
That evening the sum of $1l0 was collect
ed in money, and yesterday large box was
packed with wearing apparel for Five
Points, containing 276 pieces. This ex-
hibits that our people have sympathetic
hearts for suffering and poverty Indeed
we are inclined to think that ! n this mat
ter they have been more directed BY the
heart than by the understanding. While we
have 60 many poor right at home, aye SUI
ferina poor--poor men, poor women and
poor children--who need the money and
clothes our good people have SO generously
sent to New York, we question The policy
Of Withholding from these home destitute to
relieve the poor abroad. II all our people
have enough to eat, comfortable clothing,
and suficien fuel, and are safe for the wR-
ter, then in Gods name open the doors OF
your hearts ,Uide to appeals from abroad
and let the pocket beat its general response,

dren gathered up and sent West from the
dens and novels of New York-and the car
loads Of garments and thousands in coin

pie by Five Points agents to New York
