Department Commander feels that the justly
proud and honored patriotic societies OF Sons
aud Daughters of the Revolution and other
kindred organizations could do no act more IN
keeping with apprecative gratitude for the
living heroes of our late great struggle than to
see to it that no comrade be compelled to
foreeo the delight of taking part in the parade
at Buffalo On account OF lack OF means.
little friendly interest in many a comrade who
is rich in heroic deeds aud poor in this worlds
possessions would make his heart beat quick
with JOY and pride in his old age, by reason OF
the renewed associations Of the times which
tried mems souls. The mere suggestion Of this
noble view Of the timely aid that can in many
cases be extended is all that ill be necessary
to have it acted upon. beyond question. To
help those who cannot help themselves is the
soul of charity"
