Remember the Poor.

Christmas is coming, with its joy and ''peace
and good win toward men" But, in the
midst of our home pleasures, let us not forget
them with little gifts and tokens of affection
at the blessed Christmas time. The inmates
of the Aims House appeal to our hearts and
our sympathies, and we, who during the entire
year, every Sunday. provide them with SER
vices, and who always fnd awaiting US an
eager, well behaved and attentive congrega-
ton, composed of both the male and female
inmates, want to provide for them q little
Christmas treat. Their wants are simple,
their gratitude great-bnt we can not give
even this little pleasure without some financial
help. Small contributions will be accepted,
as gratefully as large ones, from those who
can only afford small amount. Any con-
tribution will be received and used for that
purpose by either Miss Mary B. Shellman or
Miss Mamie Rinker of the Sunday service
committee.
