Christmas means happy’ chil dren. Orphans feel their louli ness most at Christmas as they re member the happy days. Friends should remember especially all the Orphans’ Homes and make God glad at the orphans’ good cheer. 1 Two little brothers of three and one, their mother in the grave, their father in jail, homeless, pen niless, wanted by no one, the baby at death’s door, found the love they were starving for in the lov ing arms of mother Taylor in the Methodist Orphans’ Home at De catur, Ga. Though fifteen months old. little Maxi weighed only nine pounds, and mother Taylor said, after being up with him nearly every moment for a week. “I’m so glad I could save his life.” This rich love has blessed nearly a hun dred destitute orphans this year. The home has had to be enlarged by building the “Boy’s Home,” so as to care for more of these moth erless ones. What could give you and your family a happier Christmas than to determine to care for an orphan in the Decatur Home next year, or even for one month at the small cost of $5.00 a month? Write the undersigned at Atlanta that you ,will thus make a noble Christinas gift, that will even rejoice the an gels, and God himself. H. L. Crumley. KARTAH, GA.
