The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-05-07
MEETING OF ORGAN

A meeIlHk OI tne ldulcS Ol LHo OTkdn- ized Charities of Montgomery was held yesterday afternoon in the Council Chamber of the City Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to organize "Fete Champetre Association and make ar engagements for an entertainment to be given soon at either Highland Park or Pickett Springs.
 In the absence of Dr. A. J. Messing, who was detained, the meeting was called to order by MT. Robert Tyler. He read an appeal to the citizens of Mont gomery, prefacing the reading with a few remarks in which he called attention to the broad field the Organized Charity covers in it's aims. and to the unsecta- rianism plan on which the association is built.
 Rabbi Messing arrived and made a short talk on the purpose of the gather ing. saying: If any one tells me that the women of Montgomery can not be made enthusiastic under any spell save of cards or dancing, will deny the al- legation and denounce the aIlegator. ws are here for the spell of charity. We must feel that the death of little babe at West End is as pathetic as that of Queen Victoria, and holds as great a mystery-that the starvation of the poor there is as sad as if 1t were in our own church. We must get out of our little sectarianism and recognize the day of larger needs.''
 He spoke of the work already done by the Organized Charity toward alleviating suffering among the poor, and cited one pitiful case where a poor paralyzed wo- man was found with little child in the last stages of starvation. their miserable abode just next to where dance was in aal hn nlrn nf hn halr them by the Organized Charities.
