The Charitable Fund.

Mr.. EDITOR In your issue OF Wednesday
last the I'd inst, there appears a report of the
committee who had in charge the distribution of
aims amounting to $227.56, collected in the Win
throp Street Universalist Congregationast, First
Baptist and Free Baptist churches in this city, in
response to appeal made to the churches Of Au-
gusta, for the relief of the destitute poor. 1t
would appear from the report that no other
churches had taken part in the movement to which
the report refers, as no mention is made of any
collections being taken elsewhere than in the
churches above named. 1t may be fair to state
that St. Marks church joined in the effort made
at that time, and contributed towards this special
object $4,000, which sum was afterwards increased
to $4,000 This was done at the express sugges-
ton and wish of all of the gentlemen Of the COM
mittee who made the report and of this committee
the undersigned supposed himself to be a member
until the appearance of the report. This suppo-
sitlon was founded on the fact that he was ap-
pointed with two others, to consult with the gen
eral committee. He did consult with them, and
at his own suggestion and with their approval he
made provision out of the funds i'll his hands Tor
some of the benefciaries named in the general
list. 1t only seems proper therefore, that the part
borne by ST. Marks church should be recognized
in what purports to be report of a charitable
movement generally entered into by the churches
of Augusta. 1t may be added here, that besides
the excellent Howard Benevolent Society men,
toned in the report as the only organization IN
Augusta for charitable purposes, the Ladies Guild
of st. Marks church is an ASSOCIATION winch was
founded by the late lamentcd Bishop Armita3e
some twenty years ago, and has since been dong
a large amount Of charitable work in this city, in
the distribution of clothing, fuel and money, and
in the care of the sick. Offerings for this purpose
for the last seven years have averaged $500 yeally
These facts simply stated as being of sufficient
importance 10 merit mention in any general re
view of organized charitable work in Augusta,
and also from desire to credit the cffors OF last
winter, so laudably o. isinatcd, with larger meas
ure of success than the committee seem disposed
to attribute to it. SAMUEL PJoHN,
Rector Of ST. Marks Church.
