THE sHELrERING ARMS.

Women do so much with so little.
There is the Sheltering Arms Free
Hospital in Richmond. which was be-
Peterkin twenty-five years ago. and
for more than two decades 1t has stood
like a great lighthouse shedding Its
beams upon q sea of human suffering.
With Inadequate means, charge upon
the charity Of the good people of this
community, 1t has kept up its ministra-
lions to the helpless and forsaken
without money and without price. The
only free hospital in the city, the de-
mands upon 1t have been great. Last
Year $50 patients were received and
cared for. and S,22S days OF absolutely
free trea tment We're given within the
sheltering arms of this most deserving
institution. Tho Hospital was kept
open throughout the year. although
its resources we're exhausted and debt
was incurred by the devoted women
who took the risk for the sake of
those who would have had no other
helpers in their distress. The patients
Were destitute. and whether they lived
in Richmond or in other parts OF the
State, here they found refuge.
At is a noble work in which the
women who manage the affairs Of this
Hospital are engaged They ask for
help. and they deserve it-gifts Of
money. gifts of provisions. gifts Of
any articles required In housekeeping,
and they should not as in vain. q
This is Donation Day at The Shell
5tering Arms. The people should make
1T a day OF sunshine and gladness for
those who have found .succor here and
for the women who have devoted their
lives to this work. Many appeals are
made to the charitable, and the people
OF Richmond are not mean in their
gifts.
There is a holy admonition which
may we'll he commanded to all who
are we'll inclined to-day: Inasmuch
as We have done it unto one of the
least of these, my brethren. ye have,
done it unto me"

men In Baltimore about the cause Of

best and made fine impression on
his audience, as he always does when
he is discussing the Old Mornlities IN
their proper relation to the religious
life of the country and the world.
He was introduced BY Bishop Warren.

That is what his name means, as
everybody knows. but the ways of
Providence are inscrutable, and the
same beneficent hand which sent him
into the world also sent,for some reason

is to be humbly submissive to the
