1N FROM the Birmingham City Mis-
 ~ sion board the following letter will = be received in this community within the next 24 hours, and it deserves the careful attention of every citizen who receives one, because under ths splendid auspices of the Birmingham City Mission board are maintained two very essential and worthy activitiess- namely-the Avondale Wesley House ana the Ensley Community House.
 The contents of the letter from the City Mission Board reads as follows:
 We come to you because you hko folk. A whole world of little brothers and sisters, your heart is great enough to take in, but we are sure that lts warmth is particularly drawn toWaIu' especially responsible for our own folK'
 we come to you because the mission of the Birmingham City Nilsson Bodru Is to our own folk of our own cltS, eo our neighbors and fellow citizens WHOSE lots happen to be cast on side streets and alleyways.
 eve come to you for the sake or tilis mission that Is seeking to lend helpins hand toward the physical, mental anu anu moral development of few to whom it means a first chance.
 I've come to you because we peheVe this is a debt to our body poiIlc' tha' it is practical Christianity. We kno" it is ministry left by the great Physicah to heal and save the whole man Hefe and now and always.
 we come to you because we need IT nancial aid to hold together the settie- n1ent work that has been 17 years Tn th@ building.
 "We come to. you because it is Christ mas.
 We ask, if you wish to know how your gift will carry the Christmas spirit ihto another year, and to some other hie' that you take time to read another page.
 We are sure that you will receive ehis with the thought in which it is sent as a happy opportunity to help us to continue this social service work Faithfully,
 BIRMINGHAM CITY MISSION BOARD"
 Mrs John D. Elliott, who is the pc loved and honored president of the Clty Mission Board earnestly requests that all those who receive the above com munication, give it at least fair hear ing; she asks, that the letter be not relegated to the waste basket as so many appeals for aid are, but that it shal be read and considered.
 In speaking of the work and the Vas' field that it covers, Mrs. Elliott said yes- terday that there were just few nm portant items which she would like t' stress-items that make up the budget ol the City Mission Board work, and Whlcf may not have been brought to you particular notice or mind-nameiy: That the Birmingham City Mission
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-13
We Are Asking Aid Because the Mission of the
 Birmingham City Mission Board is to Our Own Folk
 of Our Own City, Says Mrs. John D. Elliott, President

"Furthermore," Mrs Elliott said,
 there are few things that we'd like
 for Birmingham citizens to remember
 in connection with the activities of the
 city mission board, among them being:
 That in wartime when patriotism 1ustly tugs at so many purse strings, settle- ment work is the first to suffer;
 That from England's sad experience
 we must heed the warning to safeguard a country to which our soldiery may return; ~
 That this is a patriotism which Loyalty serves Old Glory and finally saves the
 state money and character; That our settlement workers are m
 the trenches struggling to carry on the social welfare that Is threatened by lack
 of ammunition funds;
 That these home guards dare nVe fa-
 treat
 That it is their determination to go forward;
 That we have no one to call upon but volunteers to speed their mission over the top"
 I've do not come befue the public of-
 ten," Mrs. Elliott said in har sweet, gen
 tie way, but just at tho present time we are in dire need of funds to pay salaries and overhead expenses, and so at the Christmas season, when we all have the spirit, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. the city mission board asks that we be not forgotten Our work is patriotic to the last degree because it is to us that our country is looking for the support that will hold us together-an amalgamated splendic | force at home to train and encourage the future generations of soldier mef and nurses and women for various ac- tivities in the wars of the world which are yet to come. As a municipal work | the city mission board belongs to the people of Birmingham and the people oi Birmingham belong to it.'
 Our six trained settlement workers | and three assistants" Mrs. Elliott said i must be paid for their excellent service and if the citizens of Birmingham only l realized what these workers mean to the 1 mill districts and others I feel sure they would respond generously. They
 are friend, guide and guardian ange 1 each to their little flock; they are be 1 loved by the children and the parents l and they are called upon to do every
 thing under the shining sun from curing I a toothache to planning a dress; to ar
 ranging a wedding reception to looking i after a funeral service
 i Our domestic science classes, our ath 1 letic departments which the Boy Scouts
 assist so bravely in; there's not slacke | among them, bless their hearts, and MT
 Tillory is always right at hand wheneve
 we need anybody to advise or co-operat i with us; our Kindergarten, everything 1 is so necessary and we do not want t' ! discontinue any department, but we vii l have to do so if we cannot get aid, an' substantial aid, at that"
 "The work of the city mission boar is carried on,' Mrs. Ellioee said
