Appeal to Christian Charity.
The public have not forgotten, 1t Is pi iesumed, the
excellent work done during the past Summer BY
the "socety Tor the Relief of the Sick and Desti-
tute'' in collecting funds and giving the poor sicE
children of New York all the benefits which they
could bring in heathgiving recreation, medt-
cine, nursing, care and food. The pleasant
barge excursions, in which thousands or
little ones took part, are well remembered
by all who had an opportunity Of knowing OF the
intense eagerness enthusiasm and gratitude with
which they accepted such charity and Of how much
real good 1t proved to them. The present winter
opens with pecuniary prospects almost unprece-
IDENTITY gloomy for the rich and the poor alike.
Those who win be under the too common mis-
fortune OF poverty during the coming months will
need all the scanty means which their industry
their friends or kind Providence can place in their
hands. Very many of tnem can only lo0K'

The organization of the agents OF the society
for the winter work Is to be as perfect as possible.
An agent Is to be established in every block
throughout the city. The supplies the poor viii
be purchased at their cost prices rom wholesale
merchants The principal articles needed Will be-
rce oatmeal cornmeal, hominy, tea ana sugar.
Many individuals who are interested In the
object OF the society have made the appropriate
proposition, which could lend great impetus to
the flow OF contribu IONS that every pastor in the
city should invite his 1ock to-day to give their aid
to tire good cause. The announcement ot the app
peal o. the society might be made this morning
IRON every pulpit and would certainly be most,
Christian prelude 10 the sermon Of the day.
