A PLEA FOR THE HOME AND SCHOOL

At the meeting of the Womans
Missionary Union of East Hanover
Presbytery, held in Richmond March
30-31. 1911. the changes proposed
in the management OF the Assembly's
Home and School at Fredericksburg,
Va, were presented AS these
changes most seriously affect the
vital interests OF many Of the widows
and children OF our deceased minis
ters and missionaries. a-committee
was appointed TO consider matter
and to take such action as might
seem best in the premises.
The following paper is presented in
the name of this committee with
the earnest request that II be read
and considered at the spring meet
ing Of each Woman's Presbyterian
Missionary Union.
We, the committee, wish TO call
your attention TO an article In the
Christian observer and in the Pres
byterian of the South March 29,
1911. entitled THE Assembly's
Home and School, setting forth the
action OF the executive committee OF
Ministerial Relief in Louisville, to
which the control OF the Home and
School has been entrusted. You
will readily see from this report
that the very life OF the institution
is in jeopardy Could some prompt
action be taken whereby the whole
matter might be brought to the at
tenion OF the General Assembly
next May. this disastrous result
might be averted. Please read the
article and ask your society to send
a petition to your Presbytery at
its spring meeting, urging
II to give this matter most careful
consideration. This committee also
requests that the Presbytery urge
its commissioners TO the Assembly
to plead for the continuance OF the
Home and School on the same ba-
sis as heretofore This institution is
doing splendid work. 1t provides a
home for the widows of ministers
and missionaries and educates their
children. II has sent a number OF
students to Union Seminary. Any

all that can or will be done is to tax

case as the following extract fEQm
the law indicates: amy person -9r

oned in the county Jail for a per-

AN OLD NEWSPAPER
jamestown City Library Given 8
Quaint Old Relic

The City Library has been given
a copy of an interesting old news
paper, which copy has been framed
so that both sides of the paper can
be examined and read. The news
paper referred to is copy of the
Ulster County Gazette, published at
Kingston, ON Saturday, January 4th,
1900. The paper was given by Roy
Wolfer to Miss Jennie Hall, to be
presented to the library.
Two interesting items of news were
published in the issue, one recording
the death of George Washington, De-
cember IA, 1893, and giving an ac-
count of the burial of the first presi-
dent. On this account the paper is
printed with turned column rules,
as a sign of national mourning.
In the foreign news column of the
paper are found items regarding the
progress of Napoleon's campaign in
the old world and noting the fact
that Napoleon had just arrived in
France from the campaign in Egypt,
leaving the army there for more i'm
portant business at home.
The advertisements in the paper
contain some quaint notices. One
is poetical advertisement of a dry
goods store; another "ad" offers to
exchange Schoharey Peas for wheat.
There is list of uncalled for let
ters in the Kingston, N. Y, post Of
flee. Mr.. Wolfer has had the paper
in his possession for a good many
years, having received it as gift
from Mrs. Pierce, now Of Michigan,
mother-in-law of H. E. Winfield.
