needed and thank the children and
others who have aided in this good

AT 2 O'clock yesterday afternoon the
annual Thanksgiving service of the
Mothers meeting of Welcome Hall was
held in the hall with about ninety mem
bers in attendance. This service is a
part of the regular programme Of the
winter and is essentially for the mem
bers of the meeting. The programme for
the service which is devotional in ma
ture, was by the Rev. w. L. Phillips, p.
D., pastor of the Church of the Redeem
er. with which the hall is connected.
A part of the meeting was in Ital-
ian. part in German and part In Eng
lish that the members of the meeting
of these nationalities might all equally
enjoy it. After the meeting the usual
distribution of Thanksgiving baskets
took place. These baskets only in few
cases contained full dinner. For the
most part they contained chicken, vege-
tables, pie and bread, purchased with
contributions made by members Of the
Church Of the Redeemer.
In all cases there was something in
the baskets which would help material
w In charging the Thanksgiving dinner
which the recipients might be able to
provide for themselves and in some very
few cases where the families would
have nothing, full dinner was pro-
yided.
Much help was received from several
of the public schools, where funds were
collected to aid in furnishing dinners for
the needy poor. Some wood and coal
was distributed in small quantities TO
families very much in need, but thu
high price of coal is prohibitive of any
large distribution. About twenty-five
families outside of the Mothers meet
ing were provided FOR.
