| Il knew God has sent you here"
| 1t was with these words that the
mother Of a family in distress, who
the day before Christmas Eve had d.
vided between them the last mnrsel
or food IN the house. greeted q Chris
tian woman Of this city when she en-
tered the home of poverty last Thurs
day with nourishment for the sick and
hungry, clothing for the cold and rag
ged and few delicacies for those of
the family who lie wasting away of
disease.
| In telling yesterday of the simple
iaith of this poor woman and her ear
nest conviction that God had sent
her to that house OF desolation. this
Christian lady spoke feelingly Of the
/ happiness which porvaded other pow
erty stricken homes when some little
necessity, like that Of food, clothing
or fuel, was carried there. as result
or contributions made to this cause
through The Intelligencer. But this
happiness can not last long, she stat
ed. for the relief given these people
is only temporary and already some
OF them are facing nctua! want again.
| Need OlG Clothing.
| With the exception Of one Family,
the six or seven reported In distress
several days ago have food enough to
last them for a few days longer. hut
practically every family mentioned
some days ago as being In distress is
in need of clothing.
The major portion of the money
turned over to The 1ntelligcncar for
this work was expended for fuel and
food for the poor families. AS these
wants have been supplied, the good
women who are looking after the COM
fort Of the People are now turning
their attention to clothing those who
are without sufficient covering for
their bodies. The cest off clothing of
| men, women and children OF the city
will be glady received by the commit
