 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 We have pleasure in acknowledging the
 many gifts sent in response to our appeal for
 donations to enable us to place in the homes
 of the poor such things as would cause them to give thanks on the great Thanksgiving
 day. The supply sent to our storeroom at 47 Court street exceeded that of any previous year, which we take as a sign that our work in the city is appreciated. If the donors could have seen the looks of gratitude and the tears of joy with which their gifts were welcomed they would have said, with us, truly 'It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive."
 The gifts were varied, including money, turkeys, chickens, meat, potatoes, pies, apples, tea, preserves and clothing In dis tributing we gave according to the number and need of the family, in each case vegeta-
 bles as well as poultry. Eighty families were supplied from our storeroom, and some ten families were given to gentlemen who kindly offered to attend to them personally. We distributed in all 40 turkeys, 42 chickens, pieces of beef, 6 bushels of potatoes, IA
 pies, quantity of apples some tea, preserves and money.
 We have small quantity of cash still on hand, which we intend to use in putting in
 small quantities of coal or wood where most ] needed. Donations in money were re- ceived from Mrs. O. F. Winchester, Mrs. Burroughs, Miss C. E. Blake, Miss E. W.
