posing this humane association have gone
theoretically to work in their task OF ale
WAITING the condition OF the poor OF the
city. The soup or lunch-house has beenin
successful operation for some weeks, and
many now find there sutticiency OF good,
wholesome food, who without it would
doubtless often suffer for proper nourlsh-
ment. A meeting of the Mission will be
held at their rooms, No. 1414 Franklin
street, at II o'clock o-day, and all who are
willing to visit the poor or otherwise AID
the work are invited to be present. Much
visiting has already been done amongst this
latter class, and great destitution and suf-
fering have been met with. Especially is
the want OF clothing deeply felt, and SO
often is this the case that, the ladies fee
called upon to solicit contributions OF such
from any who will thus aid them. Old and
cast-of garments, clothing OF any deserlp'
ton, for all ages and both sexes, shoes,
hats, etc., will he acceptable. Contributions
Of these may be left at any Of the following
places. from which they will be distributed
among the needy: Mrs. S. nj. Price, III
south Fifth street; Mrs. George W. Camp
1920 Broad street; Mrs. William FL. Plea
SAINTS, 2G04 Franklin street; or at the Mis-
tsion-rooms, 1414 Franklin street. -.
