BRETHREN AND SISTERS IN OHIO, HELP!

By Mrs. Ida Gates

Urgent appeals for help have come from the Soldiers’ Home in Dayton. Dying men are asking for the Signs and other reading matter. It is stated by a brother living there, who distributes reading matter among the soldiers, that the papers, pamphlets, and tracts have been used so much that they are almost worn out, and he pleads for more. Our inquiry is, Shall these calls be passed by unnoticed, or shall they be granted? I think all will say the latter.

I have a plan to suggest, which I trust will meet the minds of the friends. There are on hand Signs that are left each week from our club which comes from the Office. If our brethren and sisters will send in their mites, we may be able to furnish the Soldiers’ Home with plenty of reading matter, and also help the tract society pay for these Signs. Just as soon as this article is read, I hope that all, children included, will send to my address their offerings, so that this reading matter can be furnished to them next week. Any amount from 5 cents to $25 and upwards, will be thankfully received and applied according to request. Carefully consider this matter, and remember that you are doing it for the Lord, and that eternity alone will tell the good it will accomplish.

Clyde, O. Mrs. Ida Gates.
