And this time it comes for the relief of the ancient peo ple of Bible lands, who are try ing hard to re-establish them selves but who cannot even save themselves from starva tion until another harvest can ,be gathered, unless they be 'helped to do sc. In Addition Jto the hundreds of thousands of adults who must be helped [to help themselves, they tell us there are two hundred and fif ty thousand helpless and home less little orphan children a mong this people, that are be ing cared for in orphanages, supported by the liberality of those who care to save such children from death and de gradation. Relief for these suffering and distressed millions of our fel low mortals must come, of course for the present, largely from America, “the land of plenty,” rather than from their neighboring bankrupted na tions of Europe. Their sad state appeals to our sympathy and sense of brotherly kindness and our “plenty and to spare” “too many drives,” some say, and will try to excuse them selves from doing anything on that plea. Well, there may be too many calls—l could not be sure about that, but one thing I am sure about is that there are too many among us who j are coveteous and selfish, coldj hearted and unsympathetic and are very much like Dives of old in their attitude toward suffering humanity as God, in His providence, permits their cases to be laid at their gates from time to time. The Lord is bringing to us many opportuni ties now-a-days for making of our money a blessing rather than, through selfishness, to al low it to curse us. Fellow citizens, listen to me please while I tell you that a movement is now on all over the country to relieve the des- perate needs of these ancient people of Bible lands, who havej been so cruelly persecuted as Christians and shamefully mis treated as a people. This is known as “Near East Relief”: and all the expense of raising the millions asked for is being paid by a wealthy man of our ' country, who has been over ! there and seen for himself. SI.OO Per Year. I was finally prevailed upon to consent to try organize the county for raising the sum of five hundred dollars. I have been sick for two weeks and this effort is being made now at some disadvantage on that account. A good man has been asked to serve as chair man in each_district of the county and a reasonable a mount alloted to each district Being unable to get out and attend to this important mat ter by giving it more of my per sonal attention, allow me, please, through this means, to appeal citizen to re spond when called upon and let us raise every dollar of the $500.00 asked for. I am doing this work without one cent of compensation and expect to do my part in the way of a con tribution beside. Yours sincerely, Chas. T. Brown, County Organizer. SOLICITOR DORSEY HERE Col. John Tucker Dorsey, Solicitor General of the Blue Ridge circuit, is here on a visit to his mother. He is a candi date for re-election and his friends are confident he will be a winner.
