The Grange at its meeting last Friday
voted to appropriate S25 from its treasury
for the relief OF the Armenians in Turkey.
1t was suggestion OF the pastor in his re-
cent lecture that the Grange might be a
agent for receiving and for
warding contributions for this cause from
the people of Brookfield. A collection of
IS was taken at East Brookfeld last Mon
day night after the same lecture there.
This amount is to be added to the Grange
appropriation. The spectacle OF 100000
people homeless, almost clotheless, freez
ing, starving, appeals to us in the name OF
and humanity to do all in
our power for their relief. All money sent
through the American BOARD reaches its
destination without danger OF loss, being
by telegram, md is wisely and
efficiently distributed by our missionaries,
who as far as possible give the destitute
people work and pay them for labor PER-
formed. The First and Second churches
have already sent Sl5. Brookfield might
well send 500 in all, and the funds should
be forwarded speedily. Tne pastor de-
sires to express his appreciation OF the
hearty response to the appeals for aid.
