RESCUE THE PERIsHINC.
Christian Workers who arc Assisting
the Poor.

A movement has been %inaugurated by
some of the many Christian and benevo
lent ladies' of Cheyenne which eliminated
in some active work yesterday. The
object of the movement is to hunt up and
relieve the wants of the poor and needy of
our city, to the extent, at least, of provid-
ing them with something on Christmas
day which will be of benefit. This move
ment was ~inaugurated and has thus far
been carried on by four ladies who do not
care to have their anne mentioned, as
they are not doing this work for self glori-
fcation but for the benefit of the suffer
ing. These ladies yesterday made a tour
of Investigation. and on their rounds
found one family with six children, all
under II years of age, the mother sick in
bed and the family almost destitute. The
husband and father, who it seems is but
little else than a vagaboud, deserted them
nearly two months ago and left them des-
titute.
A widow with four small children was
also found-the youngest Of the children
only 4 months old-and they, too, were
cold, hungry and almost destitute. Sew
eral other families were found by these
ladies who were in a destitute condition
and sadly in need of help. These benevo-
lent ladies', after they had made their tour
OF observation Yesterday, held a sort of a
council of war, or rather of peace, and
came to the following conclusions: First,
that clothing and provisions are needed to
relieve the wants of more than twenty
persons, and, second, that they would ap-
peal to the benevolent and charitably dis
posed people of Cheyenne for assistance,
that these wants may be supplied. The
following is the formal appeal which these
ladies make:
"Will those who are willing to help
bring clothing, provisions or money to the
Congregational church some time on
Thursday morning, Dec. u. in order that
the wants and needs of the poor and SUI
fering in our midst may be supplied, and
that they may have something for the
Merry Christmas.
The foregoing appeal for a noble and
worthy purpose ought, and undoubtedly
will be literally responded to by oui
peOple.
