KEoKuK, Iowa, Oct. l8, 1864.
Aessrs. Ho,oeu d Delaplain:
1t is couiiDg the time Of year when the
suffering poor Of our city require conside-
rable help to keep them 10 estables and
shelter them from the cold realities Of an
winter.
Money must be raised.
How can it be done
How to expend il when you have it.
That money must be raised, no one
viii deuy. No, money alone, for there
will be . chance TO donate everything
which is wesrsble, or that can be placed
as luxury upon the table.
The Aid Society has done much to al
leyiate the sufferings of the destitute
within the lat year-hoth the soldiers
fimiiies and the city poor. and no doubt
the members of this Society possess more
willingness than ever to minister 10 the
wants OF the needy the coming winter,
but they are destitute Of means.
Money can be raised by begging
By calling on the charitable people of
Keokuk at their stores, work shops, or
when they are assembled in the public
gatherings, (tbey have always given lib
erally) aud the purse will be replenishcd
Create som. excitement over somebody
or something, and off to the Atbeneum
on some evening. and let il be understood
that the proceeds are to go into the Aid
Society fund, and there will the purse be
repenished.
In this way the pocket-books of many
persons will be opened who never give
anything to benevolent purposes unless
they have their curiosity grati6ed BY en-.
joylng Fifty cents worth of fun, or getting
the same amount 10 valuable information.
Money for this purpose ought, by right,
to be raised by taxation, for then the
.tingy folks who are able to give. would
all have TO come in the play and do
their part Every person can do some.
thiug-a little, if not more-and when a
little is universally given BY all those PER-
sons in Keokuk who are able to give,
much good can be accomplished. No one
should excuse himself or herself from
giving literally to the relief Of the needy
as bome, BY saying that they ere "giving
TO the Sanitary Commission and Christian
Commission abroad" This giving to
benevolent purposes abroad is all right.
but home miseion should come FIRST
The soldier in the field is not an oxcen.
ton TO this. fer if you would assist him
you can do II 10 no better way than BY
taking care of his family at home. When
the money is at haod, dispose of j. by
distributing it to the needy.
Youh, truly, PERSEVERANCE.
