MISSION OPEN
NEXT SUNDAY
Date of Opening Had to Be
Postponed For One
Week.

The date of the opening Of the
Mission will be postponed till next
Sunday, on account Of not being able
to get the auditorium ready, delay
being in obtaining the lumber for the
seats.
Many questions have been asked
during the past week in reference to
the work, and as it is impossible TO
interview eacn person, Rev R w
Simpson, who has the work in hand,
asks the public to note the follow
ing:
sThe work is undenominational:
TIC nature of ii requires 1t TO be SO.
Many people we aid and help in va
rious ways have no religion at all,
consequently It takes non-sectaf-
ian to come to the rescue. On the
other hand, how absurd it would ap-
pear when a case of distress was
brought to those in charge, to first OF
all inquire as to the denomination,
and if this was not satisfactory, aid
to be refused. No matter whether II
be Jew, Catholic or Protestant, BOND
| or free, all will be welcome.
THE Hepzibah Orphanage, TO
which children of any age from In
! fants up, may be sent, is also unde-
ncminational, and always has been,
! the dear people in charge are doing
work for Christ without charge, and
not for any denomination.
| 'sThe Tabernacle Rescue Home is
an institution organized by the Tab
ernacle Baptist church, Of Macon, Ga,
! but welcomes all that will enter the
door, whether belonging to any
church or not.
efforts are being made to form an
| Advisory Committee to be composed
| of one member from each denomlna-
/ ton. with whom the manager OF the
mission will consult upon all neceS-
sary points, and who Will also nave
! the power to audit ali accounts, bu-
who will not be responsible for the
/ financial part of the institution IL

nounced next week.
THE system OF maintaining this
work is by pledges of small amounts;
il is desired that the many shall par
ticipate in such a glorious work, II It's
only 5 cents per month. The burden
of work of this kind has hitherto fall
en- upon the few, and the same few
all the time; by the plan IN vogue
many can take part and interest IN
/ the work; in one place "a cards were
! pledged, and the total amount was
only 1855. or an average OF 2Oc per
month each. 1t is hoped that even
/ the children may learn a lesson or

monthly all through the winter and
make a tour of the churches for fifty
miles around the city; this will also
bring IN a revenue.
| The mission is now being started.
and NOW is the time when funds are
! needed. The auditorium is to be fit
tied up with platform seats, besides
an organ and all the detail that runs
| mo money, and a subscription at this
tine will be more than welcome. How
uany will fill up a pledge card for %
ents per month-less than 1 cent
Der day-to feed some poor person,
to rescue some baby or child, or some
young woman from a life of sin, to
help to educate those that have been
unable to get to school, to place en-
plOyment to those needing it, to pro-
tect the young woman entering as a
stranger to a strange city, to look
after your boy or girl if requested,
without any publicity, and hundred
other ways Of doing good in a hui
manitarian, moral and Christian
sense? Is It not worth it?
Let every household help this
small amount, only twenty-fi five cents
per month, and let your children do
a part, IL it's only cents. All take
some part in a great work of this
kind Send a postal card to 1.-THE
