The small town of Greensboro, Georgia,
gave $7,000, to this sort of thing , last year,
and has promised $19,000, for this year. To
keep up the monstrous system which they
have established, they are turning all the
secular papers and the churches into clamor
ous beggars for the heathen.
Yet, we have no eyes, no ears, no heart for
'Seffarsonlan
the sufferers of our own household. We don't
attach free dispensaries and hospitals to our
churches, HERE. Oh, dear no! We can
only do that in foreign countries. WE
DON'T SEND TRAVELLING DOCTORS
AND SURGEONS TO SEARCH OUT
CASES AND RELIEVE THE SUFFER.
ERS, IN THIS COUNTRY. Oh, dear no!
We can do that for none but the foreigners!
And so it happens that when two of our
fellow citizens are about to perish for lack of
food, the relief comes all the way from the
State of Maine!
A charitable League, of Augusta, Maine,
publishes a paper, named Comfort. A “Let
ters” department is presided over by “Uncle
Charlie”. This kind-hearted man learned of
the plight of the Dalton Shut-in; and he has.
been the means of securing funds for the sup
port of Bird and his mother, during the last
three years.
We propose to relieve these generous Maine
people of that*part of their noble work.
UY Georgians can take care of our wound
ed. and bury our dead—CAN'T WE, MEN?
Let us all chip in, and make life easy to the
bed-ridden sufferer, and his poor old mother.
Every one of you who reads this can spare
a dime.
SEND IT TO HIM! and make yourself
feel better, at the same time that you relieve
as far as you can a sick man who is always
in pain—and who can not live very long.
