Mr. Robinson’s little poem “Sharing” was used in connection with our devotion al period, and the children want ed to share the .contents of their “Birthday Jar” with this good man. We feel that not so much the amount as the fact that these young people ranging in age from 7 to 12 years of age wish to share with him will be a great blessing to him. We realize that the fund is now closed (or is supposed) to be, but nevertheless we feel that he will be able to use the money, and most of all, the thoughtful ness of these young children. May God bless him is our most earnest prayer. Sincerely, Mrs. Blackwelder’s Class Mrs. Sneed’s Class First Presbyterian Church Sunday School. EDITOR’S NOTE: We appre ciate very much the thoughtful ness and the amount of money sent to the Bishop. Although the fund is closed, or supposed to be, for a good thing like the above, we will keep it open indefinite, and send any amount of money sent to us, to brother Robinson as quickly as it is sent m, and we are sure he will appreciate it very much. 5upt. and Mrs. Fenton L.
