Help Old Ladies' Home

One of the most deserving of our
State Institutions, is the Home for
Aged Women at Wilmington, which is
partly dependent upon the contrib utions
in money and goods of kind friends, since
the admission fee is not enough to pay
all the expenses. Owing to the increased
cost of living the needs of the Home are
greater than ever before, and it is ur-
gently desired to add to the offerings of
Donation Day..
A number of persons from Middle
town have enjoyed the benefits of this
Home, and there is now two ladies there
from our town. 1t is only fair to expect
its citizens to rally to its support, as
they always do Canned goods, jellies,
ETC., may be sent as well as cash and
groceries to the home of Mrs. Martin
B. Burris. If every household will send
little, we will have an overhowing
barrel and box as we did last year.

LENTEN WORK
During this Lenten season, in addi-
ton to self-examination and spiritual
discipline, turn your attention to the
need of extending Christ's Kingdom in
the lives of others. Within your reach !
are many, most of them baptized, some |
of them confirmed, who are Indifferent,
or have drifted away from the church. |
They are included among your friends
and acquaintance. Make the Lenten |
season time of special prayer and |
effort for the Indifferent and irreligious. |
Endeavor to bring them to the church's
services and within the sphere of re-
ligious influence. Make your effort a
persistent and continuous one. God will
surely bless both you and them.

Montpelier was built between 1740
