day Night.
At the vestry of the Congress street
ME-. church, next Wednesday NIGHT
the aVolunteer Good Will Club.n will
tender a banquet to Rev. Geo. D. LINDSAY
and wife as a recognition of the begin
ming of his fourth year as pastor of this
church, and also rs means of bringing
this club and it's object to the attention
of the people of the parish.
The club is composed OF l3 young men,
mem bers OF the parish. Frank McDon-
aid is president and Stephen Il. Morrill,
is secretary. These young men have or
ganized for the purpose of starting a
fund, whereby Good Will Homer for
girls may be established in connection
with Rev. CIV. Hinckley's Good Will
home tor boys in Fairfield.
The club started in the following way
A short time ago Mr.. Thomas J.Stevens,
the apothecary on Munjoy Hill. who is
member of the Congress street N. E.
church, was interested in the sending of
poor boy to the Good Will Home. In
this way he had a good word to say
and write to Mr.. Hinckley, and the lat
ter told MIN of project to establish a
Good Will Home for little homeless girls
in connection with that for homeless
little boys that has become such a sue
cess and become famous all over the
country. Mr.. Hinckley's idea is that
the home for girls shall be a separate
institution, at some little distance from
the Eboys, but in the same town Eof
course. He would have small church
in connection with the two homes and
located between them. Tn this church
the boys and girls should meet socially.
Mr.. Stevens started the Volunteer Good
Congress street Methodist church, and
it is expected by him and Mr.. Hinckley
that it will be the first of many other
similar clubs all over the country, of
which will soon be contributing their
share towards the fund for carrying out
this worthy and apparently very pleas
ing and sensible plan.
The 13 young men above referred to
have been organized about a month.
They contribute certain amount each
month, and the object is to obtain rs
many honorary members as posi- BILE
and swell the fund.
At the banquet which they will tender
to Mr.. Lindsay Wednesday night, and
which they provide and serve them
selves, the details of their work and the
entire project will be fully explained.
AT the close of the banquet, Capt. II.
