A WOMAN'S LOVE.

"a woman's heart is a savings bank
Where the love you deposit lies,
Gathering interest day by day
From the sunshine of the skies.
There isn't a safer place my lad,
To bury the treasure you'd keep
Than down in it's beautiful vaults OF
dreams,
Where the tenderest blossoms sleep
A woman's heart is the place to hide
Whatever you'd treasure best;
For she'll give it back as the years
go by

WORK DAY 0 IA.

To the Friends Of the Orphan Children
in Mississippi:
Dear Friends. am writing to call
your attention to the fact that Satur-
day. October ID, has been set apart
by the manage. ment of the Mississippi
Orphans Home as Work Day, and the
Sunday following October IS, is D e
clal Orphanage Day. By work Day"
is meant that every friend of the or
phan children is requested to give
the proceeds of one days work or
the proceeds Of one days business for
the support of our 22O children in the
Orphanage. About 1886 children have
been cared for during the entire year
and about 22O have been kept in the
home throughout the year. 1t is sim
cerely hoped that each church, Sunday
School class, Missionary Society, Ep-
worth League and individual will OBJ
serve this day for the orphan chill
dren. We appreciate very much the
response by all who have observed
n Sunday regularly during the year.
IN many cases the receipts have been
sufficient to meet u necessary ex-
penses. A number of bills have had
to go without being paid until after
Work Day. Each pastor and super
intendent is requested to appoint a
special committee to carry out the
program for Orphanage Sunday, as
published in our Home, and to receive
the proceeds of Work Day and for
ward same to the Methodist Orphan
are. Special envelopes should be dis
tlibuted at least n week in advance
of Work Day. These may be procur-
ed from your printer and same be paid
for out the proceeds of Work Day. or
where it is not convenient to have
them printed, a request to the mana
ger Of the Orphanage will bring q
free Of charge.
let Us all pull, plead and pray for
! great Work Day.
Yours for the orphan children,
