The people of Richmond are responding
nobly to the appeals for charity. By the
organized charities and by individuals
great deal Of suffering has been relieved.
But the pressing obligations upon the
public in this matter will not be lifted
for some time to come. There is. doubt
less. more bitter weather before us, and
we must continue to provide for many
hungry and sick persons until work be-
comes more plentiful.
However, we would impress upon our
people the wisdom of giving through or
ganized charities, or through persons
who go among the poor. study their
needs and understand the work of Ju-
dicious distribution. OF course. there
are cases in which the best thing to DO
is to give directly. The demand for help
may be imperative. But very often. the
promiscuous sending by individuals OF
donations to needy persons results in
their having a good deal of one article
necessary to their relief, and very little
if any. of other articles, equally essential.

"show the faith we proclaim TO have

and making our factories, big and little
pay dividends"
This also applies to cities. Let Rich-
