Many Persons Being Assisted by the Aid
Department of First Presbyterian
Church--The Articles Needed.

Many Persons Being Assisted by the Aid
Department of First Presbyterian
Church--The Articles Needed.
The work of the aid department of First
Presbyterian Church is still growing. There
are ON the list of those aided 100 families,
representing about 500 persons. Besides
these there are many people who are fed
at the tables in the church kitchen. To
aid so many is great work a2d to do it
carefully and judiciously requires the
closest scrutiny in order to guard against
imposition. Unworthy persons appear
occasionally, but they are promptly de-
tected. a police officer is detailed for that
purpose. All applicants are registered;
their street and number are ascertained
and committee visits them, making strict
inquiry into their condition and needs.
There 10 perfect order in the room. The
most fastidious might enjoy q plate of
soup there. The women are polite and
kind in the dispensation of their charity.
Great quantities of food and clothing are
required TO supply the needs Of so many
people. Thus far the supply has been
adequate or nearly so. More could have
been used advantageously. Many children
have been clothed; others need immediate
attention. The great need of this charita-
BILE institution at this time is constant
supply of bread, tour, vegetables, cloth
ing and money. Boxes for the reception
of money have been put at the railroad
stations, the post-office the Opera House
and Mr.. La Rowe's tonsorial rooms. As
the work grows larger the supplies must
| increase.
A correspondent says: evidently the
work must not stop and those who have
must give to those who have not. Ali de
nominations are fed and their children
clothed without distinction Of class OF
color. May the Lord help this great worl
and put it into the hearts of many to joir
the list Of giyers and to swell the volume
| of the gifts to this good cause"
