WHO WILL HELP?

TO THE EDITOE, Sir,—ln. these cold, slushy, sloppy days will some of those who are warm and comfortable think kindly of some who ate in need ? For years past I have been liberally supported in the matter of our Good Sarhatitan Fund, as well as in our fund for providing clean, wholesome literature for both old and young.

With other Christian workers I cheerfully attest . thte fact that the. old age pension has been* and is ; a mighty boon to many homes, and has brightened many lives.

Bat notwithstanding all this, wo .are from time to time face to face with cases, of real distress j trtie, it often happens that these cases are only of a temporary character. Quite well we know and admit that good cohhsei and ppre literature afo Excellent in a way, but hot tVhen the bodies. of old folk, sick pebple, arid Utile children nre urgently in heed of food, clothing, fuel, boots, etc. There are always more needy cases in triplet than ixi suihrhef. Will well-to-do citizens pleats assist us once more? Into details, or. the .causes of poverty and trouble, for ohVibus reasons Wo do hbt enter... In the meantime, I Will be pleased to he in a position to,send coal and kiiidlihg to some of the old people and provide hoots (and perhaps stockings) for little children.—l ain, etc., D.
