FAITH HOME.
Donations for Maintenance During De-
cefnber

for December, 1885;
The holidays are over and the members
OF the board desire 10 express their graf
itude for the timely gifts OF the season
as well as for the regular donations so
freely and generously given by the good
people OF Houston.
The home is full, as II has this week
eighteen little ones which. with their
caretskerS, makes a family OF twenty
two. The hard times 30 many people
out Of employment and the season Of the
year have caused more than the usual
amount Of poverty and many apple atoms
have to be ruled out until our new build
ing Is a reality.
For fear that some. who have OF late
given 50 generously toward that building,
may wonder that their gifts are no, ac-
knowiedEed In this report. wish TO say
that this rs only the report Of the main
tenance fund and has nothing directly
TO do with the permanent building fund
Of the association. These donations are
for the present support and 1t is no small
item OF expense, as every householder
mus, realize. to feed clothe and care for
twenty or more persons. Money to pay
wages and buy fuel is always needed,
and no more timely gift can be bestowed
than wood or coal.
Mr. Hubert s. II. Wilson and the p.
and II. Fuel company have given wood
this month. but more is needed.
The children have the whooping cough,
in some cases quit. severely, and DR..
