ADuty And An
Opportunity

From another state comes the
following letter to us this morn
ing, enclosing a check for $1,000
to aid those little Riddles less
fortunate than others:
/ read with sincere apprecia-
ton your urgent appeal to our
good people to contribute to the
Christmas fund to provide the
necessities of life to some of
our less fortunate brothers.
Christ said, "Inasmuch as you
have done it unto one Of the
least of these, my brethren, you
have done it unto me-"
take pleasure in enclosing
you my check for ten dollars and
only wish my financial position
was such that l could 3end
larger amount.
There are hundreds of men in
Americas who are just as able
financially to contribute $40 as
the writer Of this letter. Some
times we fear the empty stock
ing fund is looked on as a
child's affair, a charity to be met
by the nickels and dimes of

greater than in many years.
