In regard to the Volunteers of
America: They have q hard time
TO get money to pay rent and keep
up the home. They have cared for
as many as thirty people in one
night. and they feed the hungry:
they never turn any one away. II
the Volunteers didn't care for I'M
fortunates then the city would have
TO. Then why not the city help with
a monthly donation. Brother and
Sister Workman r good Chris
tan people and anything entrusted
TO their care will be used to help
the helpless. This is a very thank
thing to help them in their work
or charity. We never know what
might happen to us. In Pennsvl-
vania an overseer looks after the
helpless and puts them in a pri-
vate home. In Iowa they have
county farms and anyone that is
able to work helps with the work.
Let us help them who can't help
themselves. The Bible says "Inas-
much as YOU did it unto the least
of these. We did ii unto me" Fun

men and citizens whose names are
on record endorsing the Volunteers

and charity to the hundreds Of
