zone Day For The Orphans" Move
ment Expected To Be Great
Success.

The North Carolina Orphan Asso-
citation is calling upon every man,
woman and child in the state to con-
tribute on or near Thanksgiving Day
one days income to the orphanage OF
his or her choice. The publicity COM
mittee composed of M. L. Shipman,
James R. Young, and Hight c. Moore,
is making an earnest appeal Tor Or
phan aid in this way. A letter has
been issued by the commission read
ing as follows:
The North Carolina Orphan Assoc1-
alton again calls upon every man, wo-
man and child in the State to con-
tribute on or near Thanksgiving Day
at last one days income to the Or
phanage of his or her choice.
A year ago this appeal was issued
for the first time. The response was
gratifying, not only because of the un-
precedented gifts made to the various
ordinances, but also because 1T re-
vealed the tender and practical SYM
pathy which our people feel toward
fhethousands Of our fatherless chill
dren.
In order that more adequate equip
ment and support may be provided, the
'One-Day-For-The- Orphans" Movement
was started calling upon all our people
to add to the stream of regular con-
:ributions a special Thanksgiving Offer
ing equal to a days income. This is
a reasonable request, for any one can
share with the orphans the earnings
Of one day out of three hundred and
sixty-five. It Is practicable, for rich
and poor alike can participate in it. 1t
enlists our people of all creeds and
classes in beautiful cooperation for
the support of a needed civic and
Christian philanthropy.
We, therefore, make our appeal to
The prince of business to give out OF
his abundance the actual or estimated
income of day.
The landlord and money lender to
give one days rent of his houses and
lands, or one days interest on his
money.
The professional man to give one
days earnings, specifying the day or
| taking the average day.
The salaried worker to give his or
her salary for day.
The laborer with only pickup jobs to
devote some special day to this cause.
. The good housewife with her in
genutv ard devotion to set apart the
work of day.
The boys and girls with no regular
income to get a Job after school hours
or on some Saturday and give the pro-
ceeds to tie orphans.
In short, everybody, old and young,
rich and poor, learned and illiterate,
to join in this holy movement and thus
to "visit the fatherless in their afflic-
titon." :
To this end we call upon the editors
of our papers, daily and weekly, secu-
lar and religious, to give. the widest
possible publicity to this movement
which is philanthropic in purpose and
statewide in extent; we call upon all
church leaders of all denominations,
including pastors, Sunday school super
intendents, women's workers, and 9TH
ers of influence to urge in their respec-
tive CONGREGATIONS the giving of a days
income to their respective orphanage;
we call upon the officers of the va
rious orders to bring this movement
to the attention of each man in their
membership and enlist him in this
extra offerings; we call upon teachers.
doctors, lawyers, merchants, manufac'
turers and all others with local fol.
lowing and influence to induce their
friends to unite with them in giving
at next Thanksgiving days work
or wages to the needy orphans OF
North Carolina.
Here, then, is our appeal: Make
your offering on or about Thanksgiving
Day. Make it on the basis of your
earning capacity for single day
more if you will; less, If you can dc
no better. Make it through your
church, or lodge, or individually Make
IT to the orphanage of your choice
Make it, remembering that thousands
Of others are with you in this move
ment. Make it, if you will, with the
prayer that our orphan children may
be led into the larger life here and the
life eternal hereafter. And may this
concerted philanthropy for the father
less help toward making next Thanks
giving Day the gladdest and best ever
observed in North Carolina.
