The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-02-25

Lent is beautiful season in which to
devote ones time, energy and skill to
charity, and to benevolent endeaYors gen
orally. The whole year through is good
time for the same purpose, but slumber-
ing society leaves Lent free to be devoted
to church and church work, and now
some effective work is being done all
through the city and by all denomiua-
ons. Benefits are being given, and the
human heart seems overlooking with
love for humanity. One of the best
movements on foot is the fund being
raised for the family of the late J. G.
Neve, policeman. The more the amount
increases the better it speaks for the
recognition of justice and generosity in the
hearts of the Savannah people. This is
only one of the many instances of the
readiness Savannah people have always
shown TO lend helping hand when
it is needed.
The birthday party at the parsonage
of the Independent Presby terrain church
last Friday was a novel and
pleasant way of raising the
funds for the new Sunday school build
ing The ladies OF the church have been
indefatigable in their labOrs to erect this
bIilding, and they are naturally impa-
tent 10 see its completion. Invitations
went out in poetry to attend the party,
and accompanying the invitations were
small bags to contain the pennies CORE
spending to the age Of the giyer. The in
vitations read like this
"A birthday party is to be given, and we will
explain the sasOn why:
Never mind how few or many. we all know
how the years do tty:
For each one Of the blessed years Of your life
The thought S been suggested
A penny for each -Oncealed in this bag that
is what is requested.
The pennies must be counted together, SO we
hope you Will have no fear,
For we assure you that secret is yours that
we do not wish to share.
The object we know is a good one that ap-
peals TO us one and all;
We want the Sunday school finished surely
by next Fall"
The spacious and hospitable rooms of
the parsonage were filed from to 10
O'Clock with the guests, and the evening
was social success as well as a triumph
pecuniarlly. The amount taken in was
over $500, by contributions The supper
was dainty and inviting, and the table
lovely with iced cakes, maiden hair ferns
and flowers. The supper was donated
and was more than sufficient for the
guests The large and comforta ble rooms
uf6n from 70 b O'Clock, and SONGS and
games amused the young ones and so
passed two happy hours. From Z to 10
o'clock the guests filled the rooms to over
flowing, and even the stairway was occu-
pied by couples, conversationallyi inclined.
Or. and Mrs. Dripps received their guests
most cordially and the evening was as
charming socially as it was successfully
