S0 VERY year with the arrival of No
 S1 vember. whose wealth of glowing ~ coiors is 8 portrait of the biting cold to come. this appeal is made for the school children of the Mercy Home to the generous hearted public
 With the growth Of this big city comes an added need for assistance for the un- fortunate and helpless, especially the children. Consequently, the Creche asKs the busy people of the community to make a pause in the days occupations to consider their necessities.
 The Mercy Home and it's labor of love and service is well known and greatly appreciated in Birmingham, where 1t fills an important place with it's benehcent work and care for orphaned and friend- Less children.
 There apparently should be little need ho explain each year the work of the Creche; but lest we forget and for the benefit of new corners who have not had , occasion to learn of it's work, 1t may be well to explain that it is an auxiliary to the Mercy Home, and consists or an organization which annually assumes the burden of caring for the school chil- dren of this same Mercy Home.
 As the children become of school age, fiey are sent out to the public schools of the city; but they must be clothed they must be provided with many ac- cessories and the dornitories for both boys and girls must be furnished with necessary supplies.
 Mrs. Alex T. London is president Of the organization; Mrs, George Huntington Clark, vice president, and Mrs. W. B. Allen, secretary and treasurer.
 The Age-Herald Creche fund was begun many years ago, and has been continued each year. The organization has no funds, except those contributed. lndl- vidual contributions need not be large, if only the children living in comforta- ble homes or their parents for them will give something no matter how small or how large.
 Collectively these offerings will mean greater and more lasting benefits to unr fortunate children than the more for tunate contributors can ever properly understand or appreciate. We can fore see the wide benefit in the coming years of such vitally important educational work.
 or the care in the home of the chill dren, it seems almost needless to speak, as the rnatron, Mrs. Margaret c. Ramsey, who has been superintendent of the Mercy Home for two years is vel known and is generally spoken of as Mother Ramsey" Of her, Mrs. George Hunting ton Clark says: 'The boys and girls as they grow to manhood and young won- anhood never cease to love and respect Mother Ramsey They come back to visit her and to ask her advice, just as they would come to real mother. The girls bring the men of their choice and the young men their sweethearts to her, for inspection and approval. And hers with their love, is the rarest of human experiences.
