GOODFELLOWS-
Yesterday the announcement was made that The Herald is to or
ganize a Goodfellow’s Club. Today the work that is to ho expected of
the Good follows is outlined more In detail. The Goodfellows are to be
Santa Clauses, Kris Krlngles, good St. Nicholases for the poor kiddles
of Augusta.
It Is amazing how many hearthstones will be bare th4s Christmas.
It Is more than amazing to learn that In many Augusta homes there are
no hearthstones. II Ih sad to see how many little stockings are so for
lorn and woebegone that If apples are dropped Iri at the top they will
run out through the holes in the toes and heels.
In Augusta are a number of good charities. Their good deeds will
not he lessened. Their fields will not be usurped. The Herald endeav
ors only to assist those who need assistance. It will assist them through
l he usual organizations. The Herald seeks to be a ’’Clearing House of
Good Deeds."
Mr. Goodfellow, if you wish your gift to go to the Associated Chari
ties for distribution, tell us. The Associated Charities will get It. Mr.
Goodfellow, If you wish your gift to go to the Kulvatlon Army, tell u«.
The Salvation Army will get it.
Mr. Goodfellow, If you know a poor widow who has a family of small
children dependent upon her and If von cannot give to her personally
without "treading too dangerously close to that fine line of sensibili
ties" or wounding a heart, come to us.
Mr. Goodfellow, If you have a niche In your heart for the Widows'
Home, let The Herald record the good deed that you do. The Herald
hopes to become tire "Recording Angel" < t good deeds. Every Good
fellow will be rewarded. Ills name will be printed In the column de
voted to beneficence on this Christinas season.
Look Into the sad faces. Wouldn’t It bp a charming idea to make
them glad faces. The Associated Charities and the Salvation Army are
both potent factors in lighting up the care scarred visages. You, read
er, may have grown callous. Maybe you have forgotten the teachings of
your sympathetic childhood days.
Maybe the old mother who taught you to pray at her knee Is no
longer here to guide you. Wouldn’t It be a rare tribute to her memory
to do a "Good Deed” this (Jhristmnstlde? The first member of the
Goodfellows’ Club Is yet to be enrolled.
Who will be the first to send In Ids name? It doesn’t matter what
you can give, the “Recording Angel” will not question you. The Poor
Man who gives n little will be written down In the Goodfellows’ Club
alongside of the Rich Man who gives much.
Write a letter do It. tonight—to the Secretary of the Goodfellows’
Club, care of The Herald, telling what you think of the Goodfellows’
club. If you know auw one In trouble, hungry, In distress —tell the sec
retary of the Goodfellows’ Club about It.
The secretary of the Goodfellows’ Club will not wait until Christmas
In such a case. He will move Christmas up a few days. He will “do It
now."
Let us he your agent. Let us look after the things you are too busy
to look after. Let us place the gifts where they are needed. Tell us
what you have to give away. The "Clearing House of Good Deeds” will
see that every gift brings a smile, every article of food reaches a hungry
mouth, every piece of warm apparel Is draped about chilled bones
Be a Goodfellow, good fellow. It s heartsease to ease hearts In the
Christmas season. Join us. Do something for a brother. Brother of
brothers, sister of sisters, drop a note to the Secretary of the Goodfel
lows’ Club. Ills nddress Is The Herald. Confide In him.
If you be one of the hungry arid suffering, write to him Just the
same as If you are one of those to do the good deeds. The Goodfellows’
Club is here to make Hope grow.
