mpathy which our people i'eei to-| :
ird the thousands of fatherless
ildren who are being trained in
em tor citizenship ana cue tungm.
May the gifts of the approachT
Thanksgiving show a greatly ineased
interest in this worthy cause, j
Few situations in life are more
stressing than that of children
thout homes. No loss seems so :
eat as r.liat of parental love. Be:ivenlent
inflicts its stroke with1 .
utest anguish when it cuts all the
ndei ties that hound the loving
of father and mother to out Jcl
;i heart. Other sorrows, other
sses, we may bear with fortitude.:
Ver bereavements, even, seni hot
fill our spirit with such biltei
imiliniion: for they come to us in
t - life, when we have somewhat
allied to bear the lessons of giief,
id when manhood or womanhood
brought us increased power of!
durance.
Childhood with all its ignorance of i
irldiy sorrow, and with' all its
ailty of spirit, is overwhelmed by ;
ibulation of being orphaned. The
phan. therefore, is entitled to pe-i
iliar sympathy and protection. The
ild bereaved of its natural guardi-.
ship and left, in its lruioceucy and :
ars, to the tenderness of a cold:
arid, becomes the very symbol of
fenseless affliction; and as such, ,it
oultl receive the protection of tvy
man's arm and the affection of
ery tvomcnls heart. We have seen,!,
rhaps, the actual exemplification'
all the suffering home pictures.-!
e remember the dark and tearful j
ly of burial. We seem again to seei
e child with strange fear ;i:ui grief,:
,-ining its little arms about its par-1
it's neck, and covering with kisses |
c cold oheeks. We think of the ,
ssionate outburst of sorrow when!
e loved form was borne away.
Then more sad even than all this, j
; call to mind the long years of sor- j
w, suffering and loneliness that'
!lowed. Maybe -one of our own j
rents were thus taken and are now j
nong the sainted host of Heaven, j
ircly, then, we do not need to be,!
hvinc.ed by the cald force .of argil-1
out, nor won by the warmth of]
owing rhetoric, in or.ier to induce|
to fee! for the woes, and to re-j
:v" the privations of Ihe orphans mi
ir midst.
To this association, it is the solemn
nsideration that God Himself ha?
ade especial promises of protection
the orphan, "friends who will;
tick cioser than a brother."' Friends ]
no come softly when their eyes are J
2l and their hearts are heavy audi
come the vehicle of njercy. Truth!
id Justice, flashing from its centre,
i rates of stocks 01 pageantry of I
ngs, making the circuit of the
>rld with help for the destitute and
inor for the lowly. If you can
timate the value of the life of a
aid bereft, of the blessings and
mforts of a home, you can begin
realize what it means to enlist in
e movement to sewl! our orphan;e
treasuries at Thanksgiving. If
>u fail to experience pleasure and
tisfaction out of rendering the
rvice suggested in this appeal you
ive failed to catch the inspiration
oro the words of the Master, "It is
ore blessed tu give than to reive."
In order that more adequate
juipment and support for our orlan
homes may be provided we
ake our appeal to?

E his abundance the actual or estiated
income of a day;
