Many Orphans and Little Bread

There are in the Thornwell Orphan
age, located at Clinton, S. c., 240
orphan boys and girls, in process of
securing an education. These boys
and girls are of all ages from 6 years
of age up to II or IS. The older pupils
by their Jealous labors help to support
and care for the young, putting in
each day four to six hours of steady
work in the shops and farms and
kitchen and about the same time daily
on their books. In this way the cost
of caring for the whole family is less
ened by many thousands Of dollars.
But the great majority of the children
are very small, only care instead of
a help and must be aided in every
way. The support of these children
rests upon good men and women who
love the orphans and freely aid them.
Just at present, there is special need
of assistance and every gift be it of
provisions or of money will be prompt
ly acknowledged. Every denomina-
tion in the State is represented among
the children, but the institution is
under Presbyterian control. All gifts
should be sent to Rev. VIM. P. Jacobs,
Clinton, S. G. Provisions, simply to
Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. c.
It is suggested that in each commun-
ity in the State, some one undertake
to raise supplies for the aid Of these
children.

Our home is lonely now,
The one we loved has fed;
Our hearts in sorrow bow,
Our darling brother is dead.
How sad it is to part
With the one we prize so high;
To watch beside the bed
And see our brother die.
Oh, Jesus, dry our tears
And bind our broken hearts,
We will our brothers meet,
And never with them part.
