The Stann1e Wynne Ch1ldren's Fund.


On the 4th of November, 1892,
James Stanhope Wynne, son of MIR.
S. Wynne, Of Raleigh, left the
troubles aud trials and sufferings Of
earth to enter on an Immortality Of
bliss in the home of the redeemed,
to dwell forever with "Cur Father
in Heaven" He was sweet little
boy only three years, eleven months
and nineteen days old. He only
remained on earth long enough to
win the love and affection of those
around him, and then went home to
heaven, that it might seem more
bright to them because Of his pres
ence there. He was lovely and
loveable child, and though the
writer hereof never saw him, get he
has an only child in the same sweet
home, and feels lively interest in
"Stannie Wynne."
He kept bis little earnings in the
Raleigh Savings Bank, and had
$40 04 to his credit when he left us,
and lis parents found his little de-
posit book with p cents On it,
making s1925. CT course, Ike
every father and mother who has
passed through the same deep wa
ters Of affiiction, and seen the dear
objects of their tenderest affection
borne away by an irresistless tide to
the unseen shore beyond-they felt
this money was too precious TO be
used for ordinary purposes, and
so it seems the kind Heavenly
Father put it into their hearts
to devote it as nucleus for estab
fishing a children's cot in St. Johns
Hospital for sick children under
twelve years.
The first entry is: Stannie Wynne
$19.25; his father las added $50 IS
