0LR INVESTMENT IN FATHERLESS
AND IM0IHERLESS ONES
Ytewed from every standpoint
there is baldly any woik tIrat the
brings in larger returns than the
work done for helpless orphanage.
It is still true that “the quality of
mercy is not strained, it is twice
blessed, blessing him that takes,”
and the greater word of our Lord
—“it is more blessed to give than
to receive.”
Only God the keeper of records
can tell the far reaching benedic¬
tions that have come to the thous¬
ands of children that have passed
through the South Georgia Or¬
phanage in the past forty-seven
years. Coming from every walk
of life, and from every condition
of society regardless of creed or
denomination.
We are asking that every one
give us just ONE day’s earnings
out of the 313 working days of
the year.
The cure of our big family, 150
in number, with the effort to re¬
place tlie building lost by fire is
giving us a hard pull.
Will you come to the rescue?
