The Armenian Fund

COI 1llCCu L all VI Lie S1SoI
Der of liberal hearts there are
among them. If you will cast your
mind over the past you will re-
member that it has only been three
months since 1 asked you for con-
tributions for the starving, home
less orphans and some of you will
open your eyes when you see how
much has been sent them, and these
letters tell me not to stop the fund.
Some have very naturally asked
what have you given?" Since the
question has come up 1 will tell
you that 1 gave the first five dol
lars and as my tenth comes in
you may be sure it will go to the
Lords work.
An inquisitive woman once asked
The Farmer what I gave to church
work. He was raising money for
the church, and he said, "Well, 1
don't know. I only know that Of
every dollar that is paid her she
pinches off a dime before she puts
it into her own funds He was
too much of a gentleman to tell
her that it was none of her bust
ness. However, in this fund we are
all partners in a great enterprise,
and shall receive the hundred
fold"

Now, do let's get the twenty need
ed to feed and clothe one, or feed
two, as the case may be. 1 shall
print the answer to the letter that
with thir RI q
only a receipt has come, and re-
grets that affairs over there are
so unsettled that we could not
know the name of the one we are
helping. I am free to confess that
my meals taste sweeter to me since
L know that there is some food go
ing across the water that we have
paid for.
Remember, when you send TWEEN
'ty-five cents that you are feeding
one child almost two days. The
ravens FED Elijah, and when a
doubt surges over you as to the
size of your gift Just bear in mind
the fact that you have done what
you could and the Lord will bless
you.
1 sincerely thank you for your
appreciative words,
LIZZIE o. THOMAS.
Tuscumbia, Ala.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: Enclosed

very sorry for the children and
seemed so glad to give 1t. What
I send is only mite but I hope 1t

this off with your last offering
Meant to send sooner, but delayed
by flu. I am always glad to read
your letters. Write often.
With love to you. I am,
MRS. M. L. BAKER.
Whitmire, S. C.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: Seeing your
letter in the Journal last week that
$500 was needed to make the
$4,000 to send to the Armenian or
phan, I went to some members Of
our church aid society and soon
had the desired amount. Please find
inclosed the $500.
