WHO WILL HELP Us?
An Appeal for Aid to which Everyone
ShonId Respond.


To the Editors of the Appeal:
The Woman's Christian Association of
Memphis failing in other ways OF raising
money requisite TO sustain their work for the
needy of our city, find themselves shut up
to the alternative of dinner-giving. We
propose to begin a series of dinners on the
same plan as was so successful two years ago,
on Tuesday, 14th instant, and the OBJ
ject of this communication is TO lay
before the public, through the medium
of your columns, our needs and our re-
quests in behalf of this object. Our needs
is to raise sufficient funds to pay our in
debtedness; to provide for indispensable i'm
proyements and replenishing at the Mission
Home and at the association rooms; to esta5-
lish work repository for such poor women
as cannot go out TO service, and to provide
fund fer current expenses throughout the
coming summer. We need TO raise $500.
With faith and labor and the blessing OF God
nothing is impossible. We are resolved to
give the one and ask the other, trusting
results to Him. Who will help us? VIII
not everybody? Every one whose heart stirs
makes willing, both men and women, as
many as are willing-hearted, aud all the
women that are wise-hearted-let these JON
together in this good work for God and hu-
mainly, and it is done. Contributions of all
kinds will be needed-moncy, materials and
work. Tickets, either for the season or for
single dinners, will be on sale in few days,
and the ladies whose names follow are now
ready to receive subscriptions in behalf of
their several tables, each table being assessed
$500. Dinners, so cents; no extras, except
oysters at % cents.
