Presbyterian Chiidren's Charity Work.
About two months ago Mrs. b. f. Bush.
superintendent of the primary department
of the First Presbyterian church Sunday
school, gave out savings banks to the
pupils each marked For the Poor, Christ
mas, 1895" On Friday afternoon before
Christmas the breaking of the banks oc-
Cured in the basement of the church. The
children had brought their little savings
and were accompanied by their parents
and teachers. As they handed them in
many told how they had earned the money
they brought. Some had BACKED boots,
some had carried milk. some had ironed
and sewed for their mothers. some had
run errands. one boy had filled up a hole
in the back yard and one little girl had
regularly walked her father up at o'clock.
One class of girls had also worked a quilt
in addition to the money they brought.
The children ranged in age from 81 to Ii
years. and their combined savings
amounted to $27. Mrs. Bush and the
teachers had already made out lists of
poor families needing relief, and with the
contributions of the little ones they on
Saturday sent out to them packages of
groceries, provisions and clothing marked,
Merry Christmas, from the Sunday
school children of the primary depart
ment of the First Presbyterian church"
Mrs. Bush had promised the children that
If there was snow on the ground at Christ
mas time they should go around in sleighs
and distribute their gifts themselves. As
substitute for this an afternoon party
was given to the children in the basement
of the church on Friday, which was also
attended by the teachers and parents of
the pupils. STORIES were told by the
elders. games of all sorts were indulged
IN and q surprise luncheon wound mp the
Gays amusement. Cakes were distributed,
and in each one a boy found q marble and
q girl doll.
