GLE OF KINGS DAUGH-
TIERS.

In everything give thanks, for THU
is the will Of Cod Thess. 5-1S.
"a thousand blessings, Lord, to uI
thou doth impart,
We ask one blessing more, o Lord

This great wheel with its many spokes

Some of great losses, but many more
of gain,
And so many showers of blessings and
love,
That have come to us from our Father
above.
Upon us all has God looked down
with his love and bounty, but into
whose homes in this community have
come sickness, sorrow, want, and pow
erty. How car the coming Thanksgiv-
ing day be one of joy, gladness and
plenty in those homes, unless we, who
have more of this worlds goods, give
to our brothers who are in need?
For years have the Kings Daugh-
tiers of Columbia by the generous as
sistance from interested ones in the
community, of gifts of money, gro
ceries, clothing and fuel, been able to
make glad many homes at this time
of rejoicing and festivity.
AS the town increases in size, our
duties grow and with each year there
are more sick suffering ones to minis
ter unto, more unfortunate ones to
help and more hungry ones to feed.
Never since its organization has the
Guided Circle of Kings Daughters ex-
pended as much money. helped as
many needy ones and cared for as
many sick and helpless ones as during
the year that is just closing. And |
how could they have accomplished all
this I'm His Name" but for generous |
loving help of the people of Column
bia?
This year do we come to you and |
ask each man, woman and child of this
blessed little city give
in money, clothing, old or
new, groceries or fuel to help US in
caring for the sick and suffering ones
Turing the cold dreary days of the
coming winter.
He that giveth to the poor lendenth
o the Lord" and well do we all know
he great blessings that come to us
rom service for our Father in heav-
n. 1t is said thai the only true way
o serve our Heavenly Father, is by
CRYING our brothers and sisters upon
arth.
When thou hast thanked thy God for
every blessing sent,
That time will then remain for MUIR
mers or lament?"
