An Explanation.


To all who desire an explanation of the
in our church of the 'sChildren's Chair.
ty Fair, - in behalf of the sufferers by the
recent food. The paper to be read was
put into my hands just before the SER
vice. read it over and immediately il
struck me as closely allied with Char
ity Ball, /" aud other questionable move
ments in the name of charity. In all our
homes, at our meals and devotion, we
had during the week been called by the
recent visitation of Providence, in the
loss of homes and life to groaning, to hui
initiation and confession of our sins, and
thankfulness for life, and our own I'M
ion in families unbroken. Sympathy has
gone out from many i'll Martinsburg in
a substantial way to help the needy. In
this announcement we saw not moral
aorong, but inconsistency, calling on us
to frolic over the ruin of others, in order
to help them. The better way and the
more profitable for the sufferers and the
more commendable to the donors is, as
suggested, to give the rs cents direct and
not spend a large portion on our oaofl
pleasure to help the needy with the less
er. MY experience has been, that all
the people of Martinsburg want to know,
is that some one is in need and they are
ready to respond according to their
means, to help the needy--and | feel to
speak for direct appeal, believing as
do, liberal response will follow
AS far as relation to church sociables,
festivals or the coming carnival is con-
cerned, think that if any of our peo-
pie regarded them as morally wrong,
they would give no countenance to
any of them, or even if they saw the in.
consistency that some see in this CHAR.
ity Fair" If we bring it home, we feel
ready to revolt from receiving help in
our home from charity fair" where
death and other losses have come.
always prefer to give and have my
people to give directly according as the
Lord has prospered them to the church
or the needy, and think have made
my people to understand me. Yet dc
not denounce church sociables or festi-
walls as morally wrong in themselves or
that no good can come of them, but the
sooner we support all noble causes, by
direct giving, the more noble shall We
all be in our charity and worshipful
benevolence. John EDWARDS.
