ably not until about February or March.

There is nothing so pathetic as neg
lected or dependent childhood. Can
you imagine a greater loss than can
come into any life than to have never
known a mothers love? You who has e
known a mothers caress and tender
care, whose fondest dreams are cen-
tered around home and mother, just
pause and think about it. What would
your life have been without that moth
er love? Does not the very thought
arouse your deepest sympathy for
those who have been denied that thrice
blessed privilege? Yet sad as 1t is to
say there are many in your midst that
have been denied that privilege and
blessing. Does not that lamentable fact
arouse in you desire to do somo-
thing for them? OF course it does, and
here your opportunity.
As the Thanksgiving season ap-
proaches the ladies who compose the
board of managers OF the Mercy Home
are making their annual appeal for
donations. They say the needs are ur-
gent and that they have more children
in the home than ever before, depend
ent children ranging from infants to
girls II to IA years of age. Babies
consume plenty of milk and the ladies
see to it that plenty is provided. 1t
costs money. They need clothes and
shoes and other necessities and need
them badly. Denied entrances into the
holy circle of tle home fireside in
which the mothef reigns supreme, they
are being sheltered and cared for at
the Mercy Home, and-they need your
help.
These children are in the main
healthy and happy. yet those who are
older look wistfully at the little girl
or boy who trots along the street hold
ing mothers hand They realize the
great void in their lives that can never
be filled. 1t is the purpose of the
board of managers of the Mercy Home
to care for, train and educate the chill
dren that are placed in their care. For
20 years they have been doing this
