there is always a waiting list. Last
year it gave II needy children, re-

The Christ Child Society would like
to increase it's usefulness to the
community, according to Miss Mer-
rick, by adding a new wing to be
used exclusively for the care of chill
dren convalescing from rheumatic
fever and rheumatic heart disease.
The other beds would then be freed
for convalescent care of all other

"Our volunteer workers." Miss
Merrick proudly declared, have un-
varyingly met the responsibility of
any pledge of service they have ever
given, and have been both dependa-
BILE and inspiring in their unselfish
work for those less fortunate than
themselves. Two hundred volunteers
and the pupils of many of our schools
here in Washington helped to make
possible our program of last year.
II hope and pray we may have
this number trebled this year with
all Of the increasing demands which
the war is making upon U.s. Even an

Now member of the Community
Chest, the Christ Child Society was
founded by Miss Merrick in 1887
It was organized under q governing
board in 1896 and formally incorpo-
rated under the laws of the District
in 1908. It has not since been neces-
sary to change its articles of incor-
poration, despite changing condi-
tions, in nearly 40 years.
Miss Merrick, the main spring of
the society's inspiration, has not
been out of the rigid steel brace
which supports her injured spine
since she was young girl. She is
daily lifted to her wheelchair from
her bed and back again to her bed
at night. Yet because she recog-
nizes no handicap, neither does any
one else who enters her presence
Her spirit and her entire absorption
in the welfare of others erases all
thought of physical limitation on
her part.
