to make this fact known and help will
come immediately. The City Mission Is
one Of the charities IN the city which re.
lIeves The immediate wants OF the poor.
This is proven by the fac thar 500 quarts
of good, rich soup and 1900 poncs OF bread
are issued per week. Added 10 this, up
wards OF 100 raions Of groceries. &C., are
given TO the old and sick. The managers
and visitor, Of the City Mission are strain
ing every nerve 10 supply the wants and
relieve the actual necessities OF the suffering
poor, but their means are limited. and they
can only work o. in faith. trusting that
they, like "the widow OF old" may always
find full barrel OF meal and cruise OF oil,
so that none shall be sent away empty. The
ladies will be glad to receive contributions
