Wheeling who would be glad to givesome-
thing to the fund for the relief OF the
stricken yellow fever districts of the South,
but do not feel able to contribute as much
as some OF their neighbors do. Again,

ting the fact Of their giving become
known. In order to meet such cases as
the above, how would II do TO distribute
envelopes, such as are used by some OF the
churches for collecting weekly subscrip-

more, we have the words OF the great dis
penser Of charity that he who gives eyena
cup, OF cold water in His name shall not
go unrewarded.
