the money had been forwarded to the
Board OF Foreign Missions in New
York and was now on its way tC
Amos" the boy in India whom the
Society has been helping to support
for the past few years. A personal
letter from Amos addressed to Mrs
Lee Stevens by whom the former
gifts have been sent, was also read
llby Miss Holloway. The letter stated
he was from a poor family and that
the gifts from the Society over here
in America had meant much to his
support in the boarding school.
Sometimes we wonder if our gifts
ever reach their destination in the
foreign lands, but a personal letter
from Amos himself dispels our
doubts and creates a stronger desire
to keep up the pledge. A snapshot
picture of himself and two boy
friends and a copy of the letter in
Indian script were also enclosed
with the letter written in English.
The Society was entertained at the
home of Mrs. Raymond B. Morris and
a very pleasant evening was had by
those present, who also very much
enjoyed the lovely homemade fudge.
