OUR NEEDS.'Needing something yet?" Yes in-

the bank,CASH for making necessary re-

pairs and improvements,The active interest, warm sym-

pathy and hearty co-operation of allour people.

SEND THEM~ON YET.The Holidays are over:-in fact it

is now~February; but we need justeas much for Current Expenses nowas we did during the Festal and Hol-iday months. To Congregations, andSunday Schools, and to individualswe desire to say that we are stillneedy. If you were too busy, or ifyou over looked it,-or if it did notjnst suit you to send the Home some-thing about the time of the Holidaysbecause so many other things werepressing upon you, we art'! glad totell you that you are not "too late,"for you can do us just as much act-ual good by sending us somethingnow, or later, for we are needy allthe year round. Send now: send anytime: send as much and as often asyou can. Remember that Jesus saidto His Disciples, "For the poor yealways have with you." Your Orph-an Home children are a.part of your"poor. "
