with out-stretchcd hands, asking for
your service for the same good cause.
TO this end we bescech the brethren
to help those women who nave helped
them. encourage those who are al
ready organized into Educational
Circles, Missionary Societies, Bands,
and also to organize the women
where they are not organized. We
appeal to the ministers to lend a
helping hand as pastors. We are
asking that every effort be put forth
W DIlllH up large amounts as pos
sible from every Church.
This is not to rival the brethren,
but to supplement the princely sum
already gathered by them for a cause
greatly in need of reinforcement in
the behalf of the youth of our race
Encourage the feeblcd efforts as well
the women to get together.
