Tomorrow is Hospital Sunday for
most of our churches and We trust that
our hospitals will be made glad by I'M
usually liberal donations, for the need
this year Of liberal contributions is
more pressing and urgent than usual.
Both institutions which will receive aid
to-day and tomorrow are most de-
serving of the funds they will receive.
The New Haven Hospital issues this
season a special appeal which we pub
lished few days ago and to which
attention is again called, it being re-
published in another column. The in
stitution's expenses this winter are $50
a day larger than they were last win
ter owing to the increased expense in
the item of coal. And this increased
expense will undoubtedly continue all
winter which will add $4,000 to the ex-
pense account. This draught upon the
institutions funds it has no means of
meeting except by drawing on its per-
manent fund which would be simply
robbing from that fund and adding to
the burden. The institution had the
largest number of patients last year in
its history and each year as the city
grows the demands upon it grow larger
and without any corresponding in
crease of income. An appeal from
Grace Hospital will also be found in
another column. A great deal Of the
work done in both hospitals is charita-
BILE work. The physicians and sur
geons in attendance receive no pay
whatever for their services and often
times are called to labor all through
the watches of the night in urgent
cases, especially accident cases. There
fore in view OF the especially trying
situation financially give freely and
abundantly tomorrow, Let the dona-
tons bestowed be the largest ever
given on a Hospital Sunday. Dollars
given to these institutions are we'll be-
slowed, helping to relieve acute misery

A COTLECTOR'S PRAYER

So deeply passionate is Mr.. Hodg-
kins love for the rare and the curious.
that one thinks of the Thomas Hearne
mentioned by him, who in all simplic-
ity Of heart thanked God for his sue
cess in collecting:
20, most gracious and merciful Lord
God (writes this devoutest Of Old
bucks) wonderful in Thy Providence, I
return humble thanks to Thee for the
care Thou hast always taken of me. l
continually meet with most signal in
stances of this, Thy providence, and
one act Of yesterday when I unexpect-
eddy met with three old Manuscripts,
for which in a particular manner l re-
turn my thanks, beseeching Thee to
continue the same protection to me a
poor, helpless sinner, and that for
Jesus Christ His sake.
The prayer is eXtant, and may be
read at the Bodleian, where Hearne
was assistant librarian.-From the
London Chronicle.

OUR LirrL. BHon, HnO1ntR>.

We have got to take care of our lit
tie brown brothers in the Philippines
now that we have adopted them as it
were into the national family. And
even if they were not members of the
family, common charity in behalf of
the suffering, common humanity,
would dictate that we send food to
starving people. Nobody objects to
this being done, not even the few
newspapers who want to make political
capital against the administration by
blaming the Republican party because
the crops fail, or because the bubonic
plague breaks out somewhere. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's appeal for the Phil
ippines should receive immediate at
tenti0n from Congress. He asks for an
immediate appropriation Of 100000 to
relieve the distress caused by the rim
derpest. which has killed the working
cattle and led to the failure of the rice
crpo. AS says the New York Tribune
on the subject: We have given aid
as liberal to people with far less claim
upon it merely from the generous. hui
name feelings which we are proud to
think characterize us as people. We
gave that sum to Cuba. We sent a
third of it to little Porto Rico after
the hurricane. Martinique and st. VIM
cent did not have to wait for the
American Governments aid after the
volcanic eruption, If there are any
persons in the world who are in the
Scriptural sense our neighbors they are
our wards, the Filiplnos, whose obedi-
ence We have enforced and whose pro-
tectors and helpers we must be-

Winter is getting well on to the time
when the coolest days are due. AS saws
the old adage, when the days begin to
lengthen the cold begins to strength
en-" and so mankind in this latitude
must prepare for what's coming in this
respect. The boys, lively, exuberant
and spirited, will like nothing better
than vigorous cold snap, which en-
sures more excellent skating, and the
icemen will not grumble at all thereat
The engineer who runs the big iron
horse will not enjoy it so much, partic-
ularly if the great snow ploughs are
called out. and no more will the trolley
car men. But there is joy in winter for
most people, despite the biting cold, the
singing winds and the icycles By and
by, however, comes the rub when Feb
ruary and March put in their bolster
Gus work and the dust flies, and as a
consequence thereof the hegira of deli
cate people to the sunny South begins.
The stay-at-homes will make the best
of it and endure the ills that the grand
Wind-up of winter brings. Meanwhile
