thinking of furnishing a room will con-

take note, that we are about to double
our members at the Home, and current
expense money has been short for the
last six months. We have come to the

We call for volunteers to take a special
orphan and give five dollars a month
for his or her support.
The funds are at hand for the cree
ton of the Margaret Robinson Paxton
Memorial Cottage. This house should
be erected next spring, and will accom-
modate twenty-five more orphans. UP
to date 1853 applications have been re-
ceived.
Of the last four boys to arrive the
great-grandfather and grandfather of
three of them were honored ministers
of our Church. The father is dead and
the mother is an invalid. The fourth
boy is a cripple and that is the reason
that he was not given away with his
brothers when the parents died. No one
would take him. We sent him to the
hospital and had an operation per-
formed. He threw away one crutch and
now he is about to give up the other
one.
Our children are very happy and look
forward to a great Thanksgiving day
We are praying for a good man to
take charge of our farm. We can give

that will justify the peoples trust there
should be not only regulation by the
national government, but national In
