II am delighted to be able to accept
the Craftsmanship of the Community
Chest campaign to provide for the vel
fare needs of our city in the year 1884.
Those needs this Winter and in the
year ahead in Washington will, without
doubt, be the most compelling that our
city has ever known. This presents a
Washington and in whose heart is a
spark of sympathy for children in
danger, for distressed womanhood and
for the safety and integrity Of the
homes of our fellow citizens. AS one

sources of my home community"

1T is a matter of deep and sincere
happiness and satisfaction to me that l
am able to announce to Washington
that Frank j. Hogan has accepted the
Craftsmanship of the Community Chest
Campaign Committee for 1888, believ-
ing, as I do, that never before, even In
the dubious days of its inception, has
the Chest faced more urgent crisis
than that which today confronts 1t. and
convinced, as I am, that only through
the Chest can the charitable and well
fare needs of our community be met.
We need a man keenly aware OF the
urgency of the hour, sincerely con-
WINGED as to the basic merit OF the
Chest from both the theoretical and
practical point of view and so endowed
with the qualities of inspirational lead
ership as to swing every man ana
woman and child in Washington into
step behind him in this years advance
against suffering and distress"
