Poor Children in Cities.

In the June Ladies' Home Journal
Edward w. Box makes an earnest ap-
peal that the poor children of the cit
les be given an outing in the country
during a part of the heated summer
season. He heartily commends the
work in that direction being done by
the various Organiza tons, and urges
that they be given heartier support
and greater cooperation. "Strange as
it may seem to some,' he says ''the
word country is only a meaningless
sound to countless waits in our cities.
Of winding stream, Of running
brook, of hill higher than pile of
refuse in the street, they know moth
ing. The only water they know is
that which flows past the city piers.
Of a run in field white with daisies,
yellow with butter-cups, or red with
clover, they have never even dream
ed. Their only playground is the hot
and i'll smelling pavement. Even a
clean bed is unknown to them; the
fire escape, the roof or an uncovered
wagon are their sleeping places on the
hot summer nights. The only glimpse
of Gods beautiful sky they ever see
is through the city's smoke. And yet
how many of us think of these little
ones? Think of them we may, per-
haps, but what do we do for them?
Do we ever stop and consider how
much we might do for them? How
much others are doing?
"Ten cents will keep sick baby for
a whole day in the country or at the
sea shore under the direction of some
one of these associations. One dollar

will bring untold happiness to child
for five days. Three dollars will keep
a child in the country for thirteen
days. Why not look into the work
of the fund or association of summer
work for children nearest you, and,
before you take your own children to
the country, leave or send something,
even though it be but ten cents, to
one or more of these Fresh Air
Funds? 1t will bring health and hap
piness to some little child whose
mother cannot afford to do what God
has made for you to do for your little
ones. 1t is not so much that many OF
us are disinclined to be charitable; 1T
is rather that we are not apt to take
the trouble to find out, or how much
we can do with very little. We would
give if we but knew where and how to
give. The noblest offering we can
make to God is the saving Of the life
of one of His little ones.-EX.
