MAKES PLEA
FOR CHILDREN
Supt. o. p. Christian Says
$1127 Is Needed by
Society.

The following appeal for finan-
ciHi aid for the Cbildren's Home
Finding Society at Boise has
been issued by o p. Christian,
superintendent OF this worthy
Idaho institution:
To the friends Of the Children's
Home Finding & Aid Society:
Dear Friends: As superintendent OF
the ChiIdren's Home Finding and Aid
Society. have decided 10 make an APP
peal 10 our many fricnds for aid to
snabIe ms to meet outstanding bills.
There is an accumulation Of bills, 10.
Guiding salaries Of faithful workers, to
the amount Of 3ll27.
Up TO this time since the organization
OF the Society. we have met our bills
every month, but the hard times have
made IL almost impossible for Us To-
make our collections to meet the cur
rent expenses.
We find that we must now make
choice between one OF two things: FL
ther We must hire this amount OF m oney,
paying interest on the same. or make
an appeal to the public at large for
popular one dollar subscription.
Hiring money means interest. interest
means limiting the amount OF good we
can do for the children, and further, it
will mean putting upon the Society an
indebtedness that may take US years to
wipe out But these bills must be met
and our credit mus. remain as il always
has been, AL.
II eleven hundred persons who read
this appeal and who are able to spare
tho one dollar, will write us their check
and mali 1t to this office, 1t will enable
us to meet all outstanding obligations
to October ! 1914, after which time we
hope to secure enough to enable us TO
meet all coming bills and close the year
Tree from debt.
To those desiring 1t we will be very
glad to send a statement of our finances.
That we are filling need is shown by
the number OF children that have come
TO us since July /, 1908. which is over
twelve hundred in the three divisions.
viz, aid. hospital and placing out de-
partmsnts
Please do not Law this aside thinking
perhaps some one else will send us the
amount needed. To secure eleven hun
dred one dollar subscriptions will be a
triumph. To fail, means defeat and
debt. Please help us.
