A NUMBER of coppers and nickles
went into the Temple Mite Box at the
meeting last Saturday. Hereafter it
is expected that the box will be in a
conspicuous place at every meeting
and it is hoped the box may be full by
annual meeting.
Following is an extract from a le:-
ter received from the matron of the
White Shield Home, in acknowledge
ment Of the Christmas donation sent
them:
Dear Miss Ansorge, Your letter of
inquiry came tonight and hasten to
answer and thank you all most hearth
ly for your generous and good dona-
ton. The things all came safely and
in good order to hand and many an
exclamation of surprise and delight
went up from the girls as the things
were opened. The fruit is all very
nice. The now goods were just what
is needed in the Home and even the
old rags are necessity. The turnips
were real treatSfor We have had none
before this winter, and the cabbage
were treat for we had not had any
for a long time. The groceries were
very welcome for the Board does not
allow the girls coffee and 1t is very
nice for them to have it; but wnile
tn ladies are very considerate of the
girls, the times are so hard aud money
so scarce they have felt they must re-
trench in every possible way.
May God bless the self-denying
ones who have so kindly sent to us
! from their OVID necessities. May they
be blessed in basket and store and the
blessed Spirit of Christ make up to
them in greater measure the soul
fullness, for all their self denial
MAY not anv OF you ever want for the
necessities of life God bless you all.
