UNSECTARIAN AID SOCIETY.

At regular meeting of the
above society. The ladies ar
ranged for their annual distribu-
ton of Christmas baskets among
the worthy poor Of this City.
There are eighteen families 10 be
remembered which includes six
ty children. The baskets will
contain substantial things, and
in few cases, shoes, toys, or
frivolous gifts of any kind will
be omitted, not that the ladies
would not be delighted to please
the hearts of the children at this
season, but their means are so
very limited that only necessities
can be furnished. The City OF
New Iberia has been so kind as to
contribute the sum Of One Hun
dred and Fifty Dollars, but that
fund is to be devoted to the calls
for relief during the ensuing
year, and even that sum, liberal
as it was, is but thirty per cent
Of the amount annually expended.
Appeals have been made to the
children of the public schools,
through their teachers, for aid to
the furnishing of the Christmas
baskets. No matter how small,
the gift will be thankfully re-
ceived, the giver in turn will
learn the application of the
truths He that giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord. +" ct is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." The Fasnacht Graded
Institute has, through it's pupils,
sent the sum of Two Dollars.
"He that giyeth quickly, giveth
doubly," Should this article
meet the eye of any friend to the
cause who would be disposed to
contribute. it may be addressed
to Box 245 this City.
The membership of the I'm
sectarion Aid Society amounts to
but seventy-forT. It should
be one of the good resolutions
made by every woman of this
City, at this season of "Peace on
earth and good will to men, re.
membering "That the poor are al
ways with you," to join the noble
band Of workers who bear the
heart and burden Of the day in
their unselfsh labors.
