regular list having "a names on the
roll. At the close of the treat the scho-
lars will rehearse for the entertain
ment which is scheduled for the near
future.
On his rounds visiting during the
past week Captain Dawson came
across several families where the
children are badly in need of clothing
and where there is need Of food and
medicine. due to sickness. Many of
the children would come to Sunday
School if they had clothing, 50 the
Captain is anxious for those who may
wish to help in this way TO COM
municate with him at once. He will!
be glad TO call for clothing. The Vol
unteers are here to serve, and Will do
all within their power to relieve hu-
man suffering, or to dispense happl-
ness. Captain Edward Dawson Is IN
