E PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOUT
CHRISTMAS AT THE THORNWELL
ORPHANAGE.
This is to tell the story of the good
day the orphans had at Christmas. Not,
indeed, that it was much unlike other
Christmas days, but that our friends may
know how dearly the children of the
Thornwell Orphanage love them and how
well you love them also. Indeed, all
that could be done to make children happy
and to help them to a noble life, God's
dear people did.
From Charleston came old Santa Claus
to fill the 300 "stockings," plethoric bags
rather, that stood upright at the door
of every child on Christmas morning.
For many years, we cannot say how
many, F. W. Wagener Co., of the dear
old City by the Sea, has filled these
bags, and that he sent enough it is only
necessary to say that a two-horse wagon
went twice to the depot to bring it up,?
nuts from the smallest to the greatest
(200 cocoanuts) and candies and bananas,
and crackers to eat and crackers to
pop and sparklers, and dried fruit and
a dozen other things made up the ample
loads. It was just great! We wonder
whether any other children in all Soutn
Carolina received as rich a Christmas.
Then from all parts of the country and
from friends too many to mention there
were Christmas presents, two or three
for each child of them all, while
some that were special favorites received
from distant friends, riches of good
things, for which all give thanks. There
was a splendid Christmas dinner. Twenty-five
turkeys were needed as one item
of the bii. of fare and these were all
given (or bought with money specially
donated) for that purpose. Florida sent
in a fine lot of oranges. Twenty boxes
In nil tirnnn nl nlnvnn n f xi'hinh
came from one city. Nor were these
too many, for fruit is the greatest safety
of the child at this season of the year.
The children themselves did much to
enhance the joy of their Christmas occasion
by their sweet behavior and kind
interest in each other. Th'ere were
parties at all of the cottages; there were
special treats to us in the visits of dear
old boys and girls who came back "home"
to visit the scenes dearly loved. One
of our matrons started on Christmas day
which was Friday, to take thirteen children
of six or seven years df age on a
visit to Spartanburg where they were
royally entertained by kind friends.
Many of them had invitations out which
they were permitted to accept for the
day.
The institution also had much to be
grateful for in the many dollars sent to
aid the children. Atlhough the receipts
lacked nearly a thousand dollars of the
amount given in December 1908, yet as
this lack will doubtless be made up in
January and February and March, there
is no distress about it. Some noble
gifts were received. A lady friend in
Aiassacnusens gave ^auu iur me euuuwment
fund; to the same fund came the
splendid sum of $600 from the Christiansburg,
Va., Sabbath School, a gift that
challenges the admiration of us all; two
banners, each covered with 120 crisp
new dollar bills came from the Sabbath
School of the Central Presbyterian
Church of Atlanta. Two Christmas
checks for $100, each, came from South
H. 25.
Carolina gentlemen, and another for $145from
another, and he an editor.
On the whole our preset Christmas season
was equal to any that have gonebefore
it, in interest, in the happinessand
good health of the children and in
the comfort that prevailed everywhere.
Some other matters of. interest wemust
mention. The friends of Dr. Samuel
P. Fulton will be pleased to know thatt
he is with us and that his health is rapidly
improving. He hopes by mid-summer
to be able to return to his work in
Japan. At present, simpiy in obedience
to his physician's command and not because
he sees the necessity of it, he is
avoiding pulpit work. Mrs. Fulion is very
kindly supervising the Georgia cottage
for a few months that she is with us.
Rev. J. H. Clarke, pastor of the La
Fayette, Ga.. Presbyterian church, is
spending Christmas with us. He was once
uav ui uui uuj a cxiju is unvii)s givtii i*
glad welcome.
There are enough deserving orphanboys
applying for admission to overflow
any cottage on the place; but of room
we have none. Surely another boysr
cottage is needed. And it will be built
whenever a generous donor is found tosupply
the lack.
It is mentioned above that the recelptsfor
December were nearly a thousand dollars
less than for the previous December.
While this is not a present danger,
it promises badly for the summer
as we have always laid by enough in
December to tide over these dry months.
But we believe that to mention this fact
will rouse our friends to make this new
year of 1909, a noble year for the little
people. Good are the pleasures of
Christmas and generously have they been
furnished to the children. But more
needed is the dally bread and molasses
