| wish at the close OF this appeal to
suggest that IL lie whose life while
upon earth brough so many blessings
upon those TO whom He ministered,
should come again and In His glori-
fed manhood, II may well be believed
that He would pass by with generous
pity, IL not with rebuke. much that
claims to represent Him, yet would lay
his hand OF blessing on those who
render heartfelt, practical aid to the
needy, including the repentant sinner
and the victim of an inherited and de-
graded Will, and speak again those
kindly words: "Inasmuch as We have
done IL unto one OF the least OF these
my brethren, We have done IL unto Me-"
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you go;
Leave them: trust the harvest giver,
lie will make each seed to grow"
All the organizations mentioned are
in need OF funds.
