Are you Mason? While it is the
duty of every one who is able to-
contribute to this worthy cause,
more especially is it your duty as
Mason, not only to contribute bat to
get out and work and see that others
contribute Remember the OXFORD
Orphan Asylum is caring for 1872
destitute orphan children today, only
80 OF these are the children of Ms
sons. 312 Of these children have no
claim upon the order except tha. ot
humanity, therefore we feel that al
ter paying for the care of our own
children and contributing to the care
of others. we cave right to ask help
from othars We are greatly N need
of money today. Wilson has always
done well by the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, they are looking to rs to-
day, shall We fail them? Nearly
every one is willing to contribute but
some one will have to go after H.
very few will think to bring II to
you. It has been my pleasure and
privilege for years to assist IN col
1ecting this money, but today am
an invalid, confined to my room, SO
|! in behalf of the committee ask ev-
| cry Mason to get to work and every
citizen to send in contribution.
