declared that the Board is moving to

Work For Orphans.
DR.. w. M. Williams of the Methodist
Orphanage at Jackson, was the next
speaker. He gave an earnest, loving
appeal for the orphanage support and
money to complete the building being
done. He reminded his hearers that
Jesus had time to take the children
I'D in His arms and bless them but
people are often too busy with church
work to think of the orphans.
There are 1877 in the Home and
many more who are anxious to be
received there. Rev. Mr.. Williams
thanked the conference for its CO.
operation and said that during the
past twelve months 100000 had been
raised for the home, but $4,000 more
is needed by January. He suggested
the "work-day" plan-that Is that each
one set aside one day on which to
give the entire proceeds of his bust
ness or trade to the orphanage. Even
the clerks in store would sympathize
with the orphans for that day and
would help, said he. Another sugges-
ton was that the churches give the
people a chance to contribute to the
orphans fund on Christmas day.
/ Telling of the advantages the chill
dren are receiving in the Home, Mr..
Williams closed, saying Don't forget
these children"
A Christmas Offering.
Mr.. ]. s. Sexton, who is deeply in
terested in the Orphanage, spoke also,
urging the pastors to allow the people
! to give a contribution on Christmas
day and telling of the needs of the
orphanage in an earnest manner
when the building is done and paid
for, let us have a real methodist home
coming in the state"
