Form of Bequest.
I give nd bequeath to the Methodist Or
phanage situated at Raleigh, N. C,
(Here designate the bequest.)
A donation made from the follow
ing list will be highly appreciated
by every one of our two hundred and
thirty children: Flour, meal, peas,
meat, cheese, butter, sugar, rice,
grits, all kinds of canned goods,
fresh pork and fish; also quilts,
blankets, table cloths, stockings,
ready-made suits, caps and anything
else that is needed in a large family.
11 U H
For the past two months the
weather has been unusually bad.
Because of this reason the attend
ance upon the Sunday-school ser
vice has been very small. A large
number of schools and organized
classes have fallen behind with their
monthly offerings and pledges. I
am sure they will catch up just as
soon as the weather becomes milder.
Our friends realize that this is go
ing to be the hardest year in the
history of the Orphanage. For that
reason none are going to be "slack
ers". It is a time when all must
"go forward" in providing ample
support for our Orphanage which
has such a big place in the affec
tion of our people.
U H II
The Baraca Class of Farmville,
under the wise leadership of Broth
er John T. Thorne, has taken a de
cided stand in favor of our Orphan
age. The class has just sent me
$10.00 for the support of one of our
boys who came from that charge.
They have promised to send $10.00
each month. Since taking this for
ward step. I confidently expect the
class to increase in membership and
enthusiasm. In behalf of the Meth
odist Orphanage I wish to extend
our hearty thanks to them for such
substantial help.
II H U
Many of our Sunday-schools,
churches and friends remembered us
during the glad Christmas season.
It has been a source of deep regret
to me that I could not mention each
of them in these notes. I can-not
refrain from a few words about the
great offering that the Sunday
school at Miorehead City sent us.
Brother Charles S. Wallace, one of
our best and most prominent lay
men, writes: "I enclose you check
for $184.50, together with two
boxes of oranges and apples sent
you by this morning's express. These
represent the Christmas offering to
the Orphanage from our Sunday
school." I call that a fine record.
For such kindly remembrance the
Orphanage feels profoundly grateful.
u H H
I trust that our many friends who
have not hitherto assumed the privi
lege of supporting a child, will be-ir
in mind that the campaign is on to
secure as many as fifty-two. So far,
we have gotten four- one for each
week in the New Year. Brother
Polie Gardner, of Smithfield, is the
fourth person to come to our help.
It will be mutually helpful to the
individual and to the Orphanage to
respond to this appeal. Where er.,n
we invest our money to a better ad
vantage? The Orphanage lies close
to the heart of our Methodist folks
and now let us prove our devo
tion to it by sending a check or
prbmising to do so later. The fol
lowing are on the Honor Roll:
Mr. C. C. Covington, Wilmington,
N. C, $120.00.
Mrs. C. C. Covington, Wilmington,
N. ., $120.00.
