Of each month to this worthy cause.
Yours truly,

The morning of my letter a gentle
man came around and requested me.
In behalf OF several, to send a ton of
coal to the Orphans Home. one good
man to pay for half the ton. This
morning another good man handed
me $500 and a monthly subscription
of S1OO, but wanted no name men.

Roll OF Honor in the Great Above.
Fathers and mothers, depict to your.
selves your own little ones with a
loathsome disease, locked up in a
small room with nothing to sit on,
not even log end. What would be
the condition in that room during the
long hours of the night? One little
child, not over three years old,
itching, scratching, bleeding, smarting.
crying and perchance quarrelling and
lighting Picture five such huddled
together on the one thin mattress
with short, scant cover and you sleep

posite end of the house Such are
the facts today in our home Not one
piece of furniture in that room. Do
not these innocent children need
some care This condition could
readily bring on pneumonia This
room has an open fire place and not a
lump of coal-bare floor.
A few years ago a great fire visited
Jacksonville. Klink, klink went the
dollars and large sum was sent to
Jacksonville. When San Francisco
tumbled down last year, again klink,
klink, klink, and $4,000 were hurled
across the continent by wire from the
good people of Pensacola to help re-
lieve the distressed and now when
little tots are crying to us, let us
have much of the same music made
by the kick, kick and make our
orphanage a pride to the whole state.
Who knows but the all seeing eye of
God is looking you straight in the
face and perhaps the angels are stoop-
ing near and straining their ears to
hear this much needed klink?
Let charity begin at home. Send in
your mite, If only a mite, to Mrs.
Fisher, Mrs. Finn, Mrs Williams, or
any other lady manager or to Mr..
Wood who has so kindly offered to call
for contributions when parties cannot

in The Journal of the It'll to turn all
social clubs into orphan charity clubs

Easter will be the happiest our or

Us make our home sweet home for
these children who have come to US
in their innocence and need, and no
longer let it be the hell on earth it
now is. I am deeply interested in
these children as will every man and
