unteer corps of earnest, reliable work CTS. The fullest measure of praise is due them, and the orphanage, which is acknowledged by all acquainted with it's origin, growth and methods as an excellent economical, home charity is deeply indebted to their eXertions, On
 their charitable errand they will ad-
 dress themselves, not to strangers, but to kindly disposed friends. Their best compensation will be ready response
 to their call. Have your gift ready for themi and should they happen to skip you, and you still desire to give, kindly notify the asylum by telephone or oth- erWise. If it can't be cash, let it be not
 amy old thing" but clothing, fuel, gro .ceries of any useful articles that will
 help the orphans. Let every man, wo- man and child of each Catholic parish awaken Wednesday to their duty in this matter. Gifts from dollars to doughnuts are acceptable. Weak threads go to make up the strong cable.
 Were the solid ranks of our friends
 broken this year, the orphan jubilee" set for Wednesday would be changed to regret, for the help met with in previ- ous years warrants the association in
 believing that to the friends of long
 standing who have taken a rest from
 their labors others may be substituted, and that the donations this year, on the
 18th, shall not fall off, but rather in crease, to meet during the coming win-
 ter the orphans pressing needs.
 With many renewed thanks to all
 our kind friends for their bounty and
 q infN +l,se city and to all who have in any way helped us in years gone by, we wish
 health, happiness and prosperity ere we close this appeal for 1898. May God,
 the Divine Friend of children, the Father of the orphan, bestow His choicest blessings upon the orphans
 true friends, and may the names of all who have helped them on the way
 shine "as bright stars in Gods flrma- ment'
 Blessed is he that understandable con- cerning the needy and the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the evil day The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the
 earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. "-(Ps. XL.)
