Some of Richmonds bigger neighbOrs seem more

A Campaign to Help the Blind.

The campaign Of the New York Association for
the Blind TO raise 100000 10 carry its work
ought to have plenteous and ready support Its
task Of caring for these unfortunates and helping
them to help themselves is a splendid one and the
results Justify the work
Comparatively little is done by the municipality
or the state TO aid the blind. Most OF that field is
left To private enterprises. The work is valuable
enough TO those who need the help and to the
public TO merit a generous contribution to It.

Lord if some little children OF our day

Watching the endless hours to drag away.

If they must toss and mutter in their sleep
Too tired TO rest when fevered rest might be,

Mine safe with me.
Lord, il the streets unwholcsomc noise and mrth
When the days poor-pad drudgcry is done
Must draw the wearied little maids OF earth
Into hell that waits them, one by one,

These must the shame Of living still endure
shall not murmur Lord, but keep mine own
Guarded and pure!
And Lord, if there be many who complain
In bitter poverty and toll and tears
Who know their loved ones hungry and in pain,
And faint beneath the burden OF the years,
Keep Thou mine eyes from sight OF such as these,
Keep Thou my mind from knowing this must be,
And gracious Lord still grant Thou wealth and
