gratitude for the receipt of box
of clothing weighing about 200
pounds, We hope to send two
hundred such boxes. Refugees are
pouring into Constartinople by the
thousands, due to the constant
fighting between the Turks and
the Greeks. Since I received the
request for the car Of clothing, the
Greek government has asked us
to supply relief workers, clothing
and supplies for 5000 Greeks al

"Mr. and Mrs. Rambo have gone
to BatOum, and we are hurrying
shipments Of clothing, for this is
sorely needed, as the plague has
broken ont among the refugees.
BY making better sanitary condi-
tions in Batoum, our car of cloth
ing may be the means of helping
save the lives of our Oregon rep
resentatives.
We are planning for a liberal
Christmas offering through the
Sunday schools and the regular
campaign during the next few
months. In this | am sure we shall
have your continued cooperation.
CORDIALLY yours,
