THANKSGIVING DAY AT THE CH11-

less inmates Of the institution q Thanks.
giving dinner was literally responded to,
and the larder Of the Home literally filled
with poultry, meats, pies, cake, fruits, Sc,
&C. The large range Of the kitchen was
taxed TO the utmost to prepare the nice
things for the table, and when the cook
ing was accomplished, and the turkeys,
chickens, &C., placed in order, the tables
presented an appearance such aAdid ones
eyes good. At twelve o'clock the dining
room doors were thrown open, and the
children marched TO tina tables.
The little ones were addressed In a few
words Of congratulStion by Rev. 8. B.
Barnitz; prayer was offered, and the chill.
dren united in the blessing: I'VE thank
ties Lord for &isJooa wAic1 pe noIo take

Then came the satisfying Of tho appo.
lite, which had been considerably sharp.
ened by the appearance and fragrance Of
the choice food provided. The ladies
present filled the childrens' plates again
and again, until the little ones were en-.
tirely gratifed. Could the kind friends
who so literally contributed 20 ,1o5do,

t'ItHes'sd the joy they were Instrumental
in bestowing, we are sure they would
have felt amply repaid for the little sscri.
fee they made. The "Home" is doing a
a blessed work, and depends entirely
upon the voluntary contributions OF our
citizens for daily food. Being unsec.
