Remember the Orphans.

We should not wait for Christmas
or any special occasion to remem oer
those objects of charity about us But
this is a most appropriate time to con-
tribute to the needs, the comfort. the
happiness of the little orphans. The
following which shows something OF
the work and the wants of the Oxford
Orphange, is taken from the orphans
Friend and we commend it to the con-
sideration of persons who wish to do
a really good deed in contributing
thereto:
We have over two hundred orphan
boys and girls to care for in the OK
ford Orphan Asylum. Our effort IS
to feed and clothe these destitute
children, to give them an English ed
ucation, to train as many of them as
possible in some useful trade or voca-
ton and to give them the best moral
training and throw around them the
best religious influences possible. II
our readers could in Il measure. re-
alize what it means for the influence
of lives to be taken away from the
side of evil and to be placed upon the
side of purity and righteousness, they
could form some conception OF the
importance and magnitude OF the
work being wrought in our orphans
homes. God is using such institutions
rs powerful instruments in the rescue
of lives and the salvation of immortal
souls.
We must now begin to plan for the
winter months, the most expensive OF
the whole year. We need hosiery
hats, caps, undervests, bed clothing
and goods for winter underwear:
