Of present needs and sufferings. These
must not be allowed to suffer. One Of
the most hopeful signs Of the times is
the growth Of s,ntiment in favor Of
charity during the past half century, and
in the full blaze OF modern civilization i,

days to fad any deserving person in our
community shivering from lack Of prope,
shelter. raiment or fuel, weak from lack
Of food. or suffering from need Of medical
attendance.
