90 YOU WANT A CHILD?
ETY. Have One for You to Love
and Care For.

and Care For.
Editor Dawson News: Will you aid
the Georgia Children's Home Society
to find among the readers of your
paper a few good homes for the
homeless little boys and girls that
are constantly coming under our pro-
tecting care?
The little orphans, ranging in age
from infancy up to fifteen years, de-
serve each father and mother who
will love them as their own child.
They are born without their consent
into what is said to be christian
world. Here we are expected to
teach them to look up and honor
Heavenly Father, but how are they
to realize the meaning of an unseen
Father when they have not appreci-
ated the personal leading of an earth
ly father? How are they to know
Divine love without first realizing the
depth and expression OF mother love?
Moreover, how can men and wo-
men born to love learn its full depth
and meaning without a child to lead
them? AS one of many examples, the
home society over year ago placed
a baby boy six months old with Mr..
and Mrs. NJ of Atlanta. An agent
of the society has seen the child in
the home several times since, but
here is a letter just received from
the foster mother in answer to our
inquiry:
I'm regard to the darling baby, he
is the joy and sunshine of our home,
and our hearts are lifted in gratitude
to God each day for this beautiful lit
tie life. He is our very own baby,
and were he our flesh and blood he
could be no nearer to us. God was
so good to send him to our home.
could write volumes about our baby
and still have more to write, but here
1t is in a nutshell: He is the sweet
est, brightest, best and most precious
baby in the world. l cannot express
in words how we love him and what
comfort and joy he is to US.
Still other homes ought to be made
happy while the needy and homeless
are being trained up to good citizen
ship.
