The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-04-03


OF nature holds
Communion with
Her visible forms,
She speaks
A various language.
Surely nothing finer than the days of
the week just ended could be wished. All
nature is aglow with beauty and fragrance,
and does, in truth, seem to bid US hold
sweet communion with her visible forms.
70 would seem as if spring in all her glory
had come to stay. And what is more beau
tlful than Savannah at this time Of year,
While the quiet influence of Lent is felt in
the social world, all entertainments are by
no means given up. There are many teas,
dinners, card parties. etc, all, however, on
a small scale and very informal. Nearly
all the choirs in the city are at work on the
music for the glad Eistertide, and from
present indications, the music will be un-
usually good. This has been trying win
ter for the poor, and the demand upon the
various charitable institutions have taxed
them to their utmost But the noble work
of caring for the poor and needy still
goes on, and those who work SO hard to
that end must feel 9ratifed to know
that they have helped so many souls.
The Hebrew Benevolent Home was estab-
lisned Dec. !, 1891, to aid the Russian refu-
gees, who have suffered such fearful perse-
cutions This home, though in its infancy,
and necessarily on a small scale. has already
done much good. At present the home can
accommodate but five families, and the
managers have been compelled to rent
several small houses in different parts of the
city. Additional societies, or clubs, are the
GentIemen's Benevolent Society, the La
dies Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Young
l RanauOlant ha II OH
Aid and the Daughters of Israel,
all cooperating to meet the exigencies Of
these trying times. Thus far these poor
have been cared for, and it is earnestly
hoped that the good work may be success
fully carried on. The refugees who have
reached Savannah are all ready and anxious
for work. The children have been placed
at school and acquire our language with
great ease. Several of them are good Latin
and German scholars, aHd one boy Of 13isa
fine violinist. II is easily seen that this is a
large field for hard work but with such an
earnest beginning and such a painstaking
management the work is sure to succeed.
The Orphans Aid Society Hebrew is
another that is doing great work. The in
stitution is located in Atlanta. and all Jew
ish orphans Of Georgia are sheltered there.
Not only those from Georgia, but those
from several other southern states fiud
