MEETING OF THE LADIES'
AID SOCIETY OF THE FIRST
q PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the First
Presbyterian Church met in regular
session last Wednesday afternoon at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Gar
ton. The following ladies were pres
ent: Mrs. Rebecca Large, Pres; Mrs.
Saml. Carton, Sec; Mrs. j. H. North,
Treas, Mrs. Calvin S. Burns, Mrs.
Thomas Crawford, Mrs. Nils Carlson,
Mrs. Preston B. Adams, Mrs. Gather
inc Brown, Mrs. Henry E. Jones, Mrs.
Harry l.. Lake, Mrs. Thomas Parker,
Mrs. John F. Stephenson.
The business transacted had two
outstanding features. First-the pay
ment of 1915 toward the heaters that
are being Massachusetts, was previ-
ously paid. Second-The adoption of
a plan for a Martha Washington So
cial", in the chapel on the evening of
Feb. "a. The plan is to charge the
nominal sum of Toe admission. Re-
freshments will be served and enter
tainment will be given-all free.

NEAR EAST DRIVE.

Armenia is the oldest Christian ma
ton. Centuries of cruel persecution
by the Turks has not broken the spirit
of the Armenians nor destroyed their
faith. Two million Armenians are
alive to-day because of American gen
crosby.
About n hundred and fifty thous-
and Armenian women cannot be re
leased from Turkish harems until pro
vision for their care is made by Near
East Relief.
Thousands of little children have
but a single garment to cover their
~nakedness and to protect them from
the bitter cold of winter.
The Armenian people do not ask
charity, but only a chance to win back
their industrial independence.
Colonel Haskell reports that 500. 900
persons in the Caucasus will perish
from starvation before the next har-
vest unless American support is con
tinued. The Armenians and Syrians
must be kept alive. Don't get tired.
We have done SO much, let us do Just
a little more.
No doubt readers of The Pleasant
vile Press already know that a Ma
tional drive for Near East Relief has
been planned. The appeal is broad
cast. The quota for Atlantic County
is $4,000. Let us have a part in this
campaign, the object of which is to
give bread to the starving millions in
Armenia, Syria and Central Europe.
DR.. Henry Merle Mellen, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, Atlantic
City, who is chairman of Atlantic
County, has appointed Preston B.
Adams chairman for the drive in
Pleasantville. Mr.. Adams earnestly
desires that every organization in
our city shall put forth a united effort
in this campaign.
Send contributions to Mr.. Adams,
DIR. Mellen or to Silas Shoemaker,
County Treasurer for the Drive, at the
Atlantic Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, before or on February the
twenty-third.
