people expected.
There are two damaging
counts in the popular indictment
Of the Republican Congress
which has had control and re-

Nothing could better reveal the
contrast between Democratic ag-

Wouldn't you like to be RESPONSE

one cot with complete equipment

sters at our West Florida Receiving
Home. We need at once about So cots

wanting to come under our care, just
as soon as we can make room for
them.
Each crib and cot with mattress,
springs, pillows, sheets, blanket. etc,
will cost about forty dollars. Wouldn't
your Baracca or Philathea Class, or
Young Peoples Society, or church, or
lodge, or Sunday School, like to get
up a little fund and provide for one

very practical way in which to do
real Christian service. We need
many other articles of furniture-and
a big supply of towels, linens. silver

The only way by which The West
Florida Branch of our work can pro
vide for all of the orphan and home
less children from the eleven West
Florida counties, that will need to be
cared for, is for our society to place
all of the little ones that come to us
legal wards out in carfully selected
family homes.
We now have a group of a dozen
boys and girls at our West Florida
Receiving Home, who have been in
the home for some years. We desire
! to find good homes for these children
| just as soon as possible. It will be
necessary for US to get the unques-
toned legal rights to these children
of course before we can safely place
them out in homes, but this will soon
be attended to-. and in the mean
while we hope that some of our West
Florida families will offer their homes
to these children, who are well and
strong, who are ell-behaved, at
| tractive children and who we feel sure
will make good if they are only given
a chance. trt ..5.
OF course we have dozens of home
less children, all ages, at Jacksonville
just the right child for your home in
our Pensacola Home we feel sure we
will be able to supply one from the
state headquarters
There is no great. service on earth
that any family can render, not any
thing more truly Christian, than to
take, a homeless child or two, and to
provide a good home of permanent
love, care, education and opportunity
for it.. All these children need is
fair chance .. -
All that We require of families who
take our children is that they shall
be people of good Christian charac-
ter, that they provide for our chill
dren as they would one of their very
own, and that they have sufficient in
come to give a child reasonable care
and opportunity for educational
least through the grammar schools.
We require the legal adoption of all
children up to ten years of age and
prefer it for all the children we place, |
but we do not require adoption for
children over ten years of age. All
children are placed out for three |
months on trial, and no adoptions can
take place in less than three months |
for we want every family to be very |
certain that the child is unquestion-
ably just exactly the child that is |
wanted for their home before they |
legally adopt it
Applications for children should be
addressed to our West Florida Super |

Funds Must be Secured
at Once If Work is to be
Enlarged and Orphan
YOUNGSTERS Cared For

The greatest and most immediate
need in connection with our enlarged
work for the homeless and needy lit
tie ones of West Florida, is money
to carry it on. The whole work is
supported entirely by Voluntary con-
tributions, and we feel sure that the
good people of West Florida will
gladly give sufficient funds to pro-
vide for the 200 or more little ones
that will receive the aid and care of
our West Florida Branch.
We need about three thousand dol
lars right now, to make the necessary
alterations and repairs on the Pearl
Eagan Home-so that it can accom-
modate about three times as many
children as it has ever provided for
sand dollars to provide for the new
equipment-Beds, cots, cribs, blankets,
Sheets pillow cases, etc. etc.
Then we will need about a thou
sand dollars each month to keep the
great work goingyand are quite
sure that there is no place on earth
where the same amount of money can
possibly do a greater service, or more
lasting good.
We will be glad to welcome sub
scriptions to be paid each month, or
good friends may see fit. All sub
scriptions and contributions shall be
addressed and checks made out to D.

Pearl Eagan Home Has
Done a Fine Work
for the Homeless
Children

For twenty-three years the Pearl

of Pensacola. During this period hun
dreds of little ones hav ereceived
shelter. love. care and training. A
few have been placed out for adop-
ton in good homes. Most of The 9TH
ers have been returned to relatives or
sent to friends who would become
able to provide for them.
During these many years the Pearl
Eagan Home has been the lighthouse
on the shore of troubles for the little
ones in need throughout this COM
munity Many are the little ones who
have rejoiced in the love and care
they have received, and many are the
widowed mothers who are grateful to
the Pearl Eagan Home and its faith
full workers for the loving care given
to their little ones
There is no record of just the num-
Der of little ones that have been
shefte1 ed in the Pearl Eagar I1om:'
during these twenty three years-but
the number is great. There is no
way either to measure the full value
of the services it has rendered to the
needy little ones and the distressed
parents and relatives, but everybody
in Pensacola knows of the fine work

means to keep the good work going
on. Hundreds of individuals. business
firms, churches, lodges and clubs have
gladly given of their means to sup
port the Home and its little ones 80
that the work has gone on from year
to year.
The Pearl Eagan Home of late has
been managed by a Board of DireC-
tors. of which Mr.. l.. Hilton Green is
the president and Mr.. Dan B. Mac
MILAN is the trea surer. These direc-
tors voted unanimously at a meeting
held sometime ago to invite The Chill

statewide undenominational agency,
for the care of homeless and needy
children. to take charge of The Pearl ,
Eagan Home as the West FLORIDA
Branch of its work Arrangements
have now been completed, and the
good work of The Pearl Eagan Home
will go on-enlarged at its scope and
and it is confidently ex-
retted that at least two hundred lit /
tie ores each year will be cared for.
