To the editor of The Press The awful
news from Galveston, Texas, has stirred
our hearts deeply. Now let 1t stir our
purses. May we all avail ourselves of
the opportunity which comes to us at this
hour of experiencing the blessing which
Is bestowed upon those who give. Re-
member the words Of the Lord Jesus,
when He said: "It is more blessed to
give than to receive" (Acts Xxx: 49, Let
the people OF Stafford-the rich out of
their abundance, and the poor out of their
poverty-give what they can, and give at
once, to help swell the mighty fund which
Is being raised by the people of our land
in answer to the pitiful cry for aid in be-
half OF our suffering brethren, which has
come to us from the Gulf of Mexico.
This is cause which should especially
appeal to the older residents of our town,
who probably remember when they once
aid from sympathizing neigh
oors In an hour of great need. l believe
he various Christian bodies of Stafford
mould take leading part in this noble
work, and / therefore venture respectfully
o suggest that the pastor of every church
this town announce to his people, eth
r next Sunday or the Sunday after, that
heir offerings for the following Sunday
Vill be for the sufferers from the flood In
falvaston and vicinity. Whom to send
he money to, and how to send 1t, is a |
natter that will take care of itself, and
ne upon which we shall doubtless re-
Give definite information from the news
apers in day or so.
Respectfully, M.p.r.
