The herald., 1895-10-06

the individuals, merchants and societies
to whom we are under obligations for
material aid. The circles of King s
| Daughters who have so kindly helped us
their benefactions in their own reports.
Our receipts from all sources have been
| $354.9l. Our total expenditures have
| been $351.60. Balance on hand, $3 %.
We have also in charge $l37 which we
are not at liberty to spend except in
building a. home of our, own. as it
was collected for the proposed
home for the friendless. Having this to
start on, We are very anxious to raise
enough more to put up small house
very soon. few hundred dollars would
| be sufficient. for We could probably get a
! lot at reduction, and part of the timber
| and labor would be donated. We already
have promises to that effect. We do not
desire a snowy public structure, out only
plain little cottage of five rooms that
will save rent and be permanen home.
We who have become interested In the
day nursery feel that it is great aid to-
wards the solution of the industrial prob
lens brought ABOUT by modern condi-
tions of life, and that it is true charity,
blessing him who gives and him who
takes; and now we invite you to join US
in this blessing. "A childs kiss set on
thy sighing lips shall make thee glad ;
poor man served by thee shall make
thcc IlCu SICK mdu nelDeu Dy tuee Sudi'
make thee strong. Thou shalt be served
thyself by every sense of service which
thou renderest"
From the financial report YOU soc that
our exchequer is very low. Will you not
help us put this institution on a firm
basis? Give much of your abundance or
little of your smaller store for the sake
OF Christ and the little ones whom he
blessed, and the weary and anxious moth
ers. In the lives we are Frightening and
influencing, and in the good we have
done, we have been richly blessed; but
our monthly subscriptions fall far short
of our monthly expenditures. Can we
not spare little each month for this
work. and cannot many OF us give some
thing towards the building fund? 1t may
involve some self-denial. some wearing
OF old clothes or extra work to earn the
money, but think of the good 1t will do.
The money will earn fruit through all
coming years-in the lives it helps to
brighten and in the spirits of the givers.
Money and supplies may be left at any
time for us at the Young Women's Chris
tian association rooms, and will be sent
| for.
Again 1 ask you to help us, rem EN- ber-
ing that ''inasmuch as ye did it unto
one OF the least of these, ye have done
1t unto me-
After the reading OF several other pa
pers, all relating to the work OF the vari-
Gus circles, the president adjourned the
meeting for lunch, which was served in
the church assembly rooms. A most en-
] joyable meal had been prepared, and the
appetites of the ladies' spoke volumes for
the amount of work they had accom-
pl,shed. The visiting delegates sat down
first, the local daughters waiting on
them to see that they were we'll served.
Ater all had satisfied themselves the
meeting was again called to order.
AT O'Clock the president called for the
reports of the various circles represented.
An excellent showing was made of the
good work dous and fully justifes the
existence of the order. The report of the
Central circle. First Methodist church.
showed the good accomplished in the
provision of clothes for the poor, and the
making of many articles of wearing ap-
parei that were sold. The proceeds go to
the support of the various institutions
dependent on the society. There is the
greatest earnestness displayed in this
work by all concerned In it, and the
many charitable people in the city would
find 1t greatly to their advantage to have
the Kings Daughters assist them in the
distribution of their al.cs. Their con-
stant association with poverty makes
them better able to judge of the fitness of
applicants for help, and all contributions
are directed in the best channels.
The assem- bly, adjourned at oclocK, to
meet again next year in Los Angeles.
