Dear Mrs. Thomas: Glad to see
your letters in The Atlanta Journal
and that you are getting up a fund
to help some little Armenian or
phan, and am sure there must be
lots of them that need our help.
Where shall we buy bread that these
may eat? Some one may say Jesus
said, "Give We them to eat"
"Inasmuch as We did it unto one
of the least of these, my brethren,
ye have done it unto Me"
And what would we not do for the
Lord? We that love Him. Would
we let Him go hungry, naked and
cold at our doors when He has bless
ed us with plenty, and shall we not

love Of Christ has filled our hearts

NV Dear Benefactress: For such
you have long since beer by your
helpful writings published in Tho
Semi-W Weekly Journal. Only when

you have helped me over rough
Places" but will only say this: I

Dear Mrs. Thomass After reading
your last letter, felt I ought to
write and tell you that DIT stirred my
very soul and caused me to serious
Iy consider whether OF not my life
counts for the things worth while.
I oftttmes fear that my life is too
selfish and that do not live to bless
the lives Of others as God intended
that we should. SO many times when
I have felt discouraged and blue
have turned to the columns of The
Journal and read your letters there
to find courage anew for the task
that was mine. It is so like human
beings to crave and enjoy words Of
sympathy and encouragement, but
after all I think it is divine power
working through human instrument
tality. Don't you?
I happened to an accident one
week ago today that no doubt has
been blessing in disguise for me,
but I am so thankful that 1T was no
worse.
The horse turned the buggy over,
threw me out, one foot hung and
dragged me a few steps, spraindng
my knee so Dauly that II Will timely
be some time before I am able to
walk. was very sick for thirty-six
hours after the accident, and could
not be taken home. I was among
strangers when 1T happened and they
certainly were good Samaritans.
I have many things I'd like to
write, but you are such a busy wom-
an. My little adopted daughter sends
this money. She read the little boys
letter, so he has this to his credit,
too.
May you live many, many years
for your good work. Sincerely,
MRS, s.
