This fund Was established January
"a, 1880, IN memory of Misc Dexa 4.
Henry and placed IN charge OF trustees
elected 10y the l.. l.. c.
It's income is devoted annually 81 as
sist and educate suffering and needy
children.
Tie words "In Memory of" some
times mean but little. Right here they
bring 10 our mind q lonely woman who
had known great d.sappointments. and
felt crushing sorrows, but who went
about with = sunny face, and kept q
heart ever open 70 others troubles and
needs. The tenderest place in that
great heart was towards the suffering
children to whom she wEs most boun-
tlful In gifts OF time and money from q
scanty purse.
How the little seed of unselfish giving
sown by this one soul while on earth
has grown and biossomed!
The great Gardner has allowed you
to give the kindly nurture needed.
And what seed would not have grown
under such generous sunshine and hte-
giving rain dropsg
The first shower of this year was q
good one, even though IL came In chill
November, for the Thanksgiving offer
ing. suggested by our president,
amounted to 1913. The tiny drods IN
the mite boxes, flowed on regularly
through the year, making "Decembei
as pleasant as May"
But we must come down TO grim fig
ures, which In this prosperous year are
full enough of pleasant stories, happy
incidents aud thrilling adventures. &c
fill a book. We regret that you canno,
know this side OF the 'Henry Memorial
Fund" better. The interest on princi
pal for last year was 1886. The penny
collections made eacn Saturday
amounted TO S52 l2, making an averaH
Of Sl.57 for thirty-three saturdays
This with the interest has been used TO
the immediate relief of cases Of suffer
ing as they come TO our attention.
This year has been a red letter one Il
the principal of our fund. Through
the energy and hard work of DIR. Ruth
erford, the originator of the plan, witt
the volunteered assistance OF Mrs
Torrey, the artist, Miss Henry's story O
child life .'NoIl's Journey" was pub
lishede and placed on sale during tn
holidays. The net proceeds
from the sale of the book wcr
Sll9.Sl; Thanksgiving Offering, s34.l
other gifts, $3.50; making the total sd
dition TO principal this year. sl.3.4i
amount OF principal, SS2o.69.
Seventy copies OF the book are ol
hand and will be sold at fifty cent
each. Is it too much to hope that ou
| principal will be increased To 500. "
