To the Camps of the Woodmen Of the
World in Mississippi:
Esteemed Sovereigns-Since the
birth u our order we have built thou
sands If beautiful bones for mothers
and their children. Here they dwell in
peace and comfort, where otherwise
would have been poverty, distress and
ignorance. We have kept the home
intact, the mother and child together.
We have made it possible for hundreds
of children to attend school, and to-
day they are being educated, their
minds and hearts are being developed
to a state of perfect manhood and wo-
manhood. In a few years they will
stand as worthy American citizens
under the starry emblem of our ma
TONS glory. We have accomplished
much in supplying homes, food and
clothing for those in want. Our aim
has ever been that orphan children
shall neither grow up in ignorance, go
thinly clad nor go to bed hungry.
AS the Mississippi members of the
Sovereign Camp, and with the hearty
consent and approval of our beloved
Sovereign Commander, Joseph c..
Root, who is always foremost in good
works, appeal to each Camp in Mis-
sissippi to make, during the closing
month of the first year of the new
century, a liberal donation to one of
the several orphan homes in our State.
Even the small sum of ten cents from
each member will produce more than
$1,000. Who can estimate the good
this sum will do? AS our membership
is composed of all classes and creeds,
ask that all Of the asylums be re-
membered and that the contributions
be sent to Sovereign 4. p. Barr of Jack
son, Miss, twice our representative to
the Sovereign Camp, who will dis
tribute the funds as designated by the
Camps, and who will publish a de.
tailed report Of receipts and disburse-
ments.
The whole civilized world deaicates
to the birth of love one day of this
month, for Christ is love. He said
love thy neighbGr as thyself. No sect.

good. 1t behooves the Woodmen of
