Our Christmas work this year, was
of a different character from previous
years. We have always remembered
the inmates of different institutions
but feeling that they were sheltered
and clothed while many were not, We
decided il would be better to provide
clothing for those in need. Accord
ingly a number of women and chill
dren we're given two union suits
apiece
We have six wheel chairs and q
pair of crutches in constant use. Civ,
ing much JOY TO those unfortunate
enough to need them.
Several members of the brancl
made dresses for the children of Hop,
Farm, the material peing Furnished
by the branch. One meeting Of tn,
branch was held at the Home o
Merciful Rest and was much enjoyed
by the sunshiny members of thu
Home. At one meeting We sewet
carpet rags and had them woven int
a rug for our room at the Homo.
We have tried in small measure. Il
carry out the spirit of Him who said
''Inasmuch as We have done 1t unit,
one of the least of these my brethren
We have done It unto Me-"
