BISHOP GIBSON To THE CHILL
DRES

Dear Children: 1t is q pleasure to
your bishop 10 come to you for help in
his work. And il you ask why this is
so, | answer without hesitation. be-
cause yon like to give it. | never saw
a child who did not like 10 help any
WORK that seemed worth while, or that
was going on under the care Of 4 loved
and trusted friend.
know you want To help. Now your
bishop has several hundred dollars TO
raise each year which he must raise
himself. Your gifts will enable him to
ask the Diocesan Missionary Society to
help him raise the money.
A clergyman is greatly needed, not
only to fill, but 10 keep alive in all
branches OF their organizations, The
vacant parishes of the diocese.
Your gifts will make it easier to have
that clergyman.
Fathers with children large and
small ought 10 be. rectors and pastors
in our parishes, because every good
Christian Young lie adds power to the
church.
Yonr gilts may help us secure m en-
with families.
We have thirty odd ministers 10
keep alive. Sou remember the Young
men in the Bible whom the army OF
David found starving by the road side.
They gave l,int bread. and he did eat;
and they made him drink water; and
they gave him piece Of cake OF figs,
and two clusters Of raisin7. and when
he had eaten. his spirit came again to
him. Any OF you wonld have done
that. Figs and raislns il you had
them; bread and butter il you had
them; crackers and cheese il you had
them: sandwiches. Anything you
might have.
Now why not give The price OF these
beforehand and not let hunger or NOR
LITIGATION, which il worse than hunger,
take hold Of people who are trying to
do the Masters work for him and also
for you?
/ am still asking for six thousand
dollars, because ne have not reached
that mark yet. But with the inapira-
ton OF The Laymen's Missionary Move
