the one object-viz.. 10 help and relieve the
old and poor and sick and teach them to
help themselves. always keeping before
them their duty 10 God a well as man.
Besides supplying the old and sick with
ratiOns. medicines. clothing, ETC., sewing
school for children is in operation. and a
prayer-meeting held once week at the
mission house is well attended by the
lame. halt, and blind. The lady visitors,
numbering about seventy-hye, are most
faithful in visiting. instructing, and re-
heving the poor under their charge; they
are all ready for winter work, but lind
themselves trammelled in their efforts for
lack OF funds. They feel it is only neces-
sary to place this fact before the citizens
TO insure prompt response. =,
