ments of efficiency which can be expected i'm a
voluntary organization; The few hundred dol
lars placed in our hands were most judiciouslv
expended in relieving the wants Of the necessi
poor. This winter, already more severe than In.
last calls for greater iberalty the part of those
who are blessed with abundance Let liberal
contributions at once flow into the treasury
