 REPORT OF RELIEF COMMITTEE 1894.
 With the best use of their discretion the members of the relief committee have visited with their charity during the year the needy and those in lively want The number of those really in need has greatly increased by reason of the little work for the many in search of 1t. Destitution on account of lack of usual employment has been found more than ever. Where the family is found worthy we give from our supply of provisions and clothing. It is some times difficult to determine the worthy poor. One woman, after being aided g. short time, was found to have quite a savings bank account. The members of the committee go from house to house and give according to the urgen- cy of the case, often adding delicacies purchased with their own money. Mon day afternoon of each week during the winter groceries and permits for work are given out. All new appeals for help are referred to MT. Preston for investigation, and very little is done until his report is received. A few cit- ations from among the many of the cases aided may give a better insight into our work. A family consisting of seven people were visited. The man is honest and industrious and works hard when he can find work to do. but can- not earn enough to support his family. We gave them clothing and found shoes for the children. A man i'll with consumption was reported to us last summer by MT. Preston. The woman supported the family-three children, beside her husband and herself-until her husband became so i'll that she was forced to devote all time to him. The man finally consented to go to the hos pital, but lived only ten days after be- ing taken there, after which the woman was given little help until she was able to get work, and now takes care of herself and family. A woman asks aid for the first time. her husband hav- ing met with an accident and for ten weeks was unable to do any work. An other woman, i'll, with three small chill dren, was given help until able to work. She was very grateful for the timely as- sistance, and Is now supporting herself andAchildren. A faithful old nurse, em- ployeu among our sick poor, was taken i'll in November and died month later. She was visited and assisted during her illness Another family were given needed assistance; husband industri- ous and self supp porting, but being bad ly scalded, and two other members of the family i'll, he long time. they were m want. To such ends have been applied the means furnished us by the liberaltty of our friends, who have not not only the gratitude of those reliev- ed, but also that Of the members of the committee We shall have to continue to take from our supplies in order to give. and 1t Is earnestly hoped that the putting In may be continued as abund- ently as in the past We can give only as we take. #
