OUR POOR.
At the State meeting in Mankato last fall,
the ministers and brethren assenubled talked
over the matter of providing a home or some
way ot relief for those in needy circumstances,
gach as the aged poor in our state. There are
some such unfortunate ones among us all the
time, and Christ says that they always will be
among God's people. oo
Our duties, or rather privileges, in respect
| to such persons are pluinly set forth in the
| word of God. The fast that God has chosen 1s
| (0 deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou
| bring the poor that are cast out to thy house;
and when thou seest the naked that thou cover
him; and. that thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh.” Isa. 58:7. Then follows a long
list of good things which the Lord promises te-
those who do these things. =~ -
A com mittee of three was appointed to study
up the malter, ‘and to formulate plans to pre.
sent to the Couference at qur ‘next meeting.
This co.wwittee has {hought best to let our
people Kuo, through the WORKER, that they.
“have uot forgotien their work. We believe
' many in this state wish to assist.in this . work.
One way of so doing is by donations. Such a
work needs means. 13ut perhaps you say, “We
| have no means.” Well, we should be giad to
Flea {row any one who'i§ willing to donate a
farm of from 40 to 160 acres or more, for &
Lome for the unfortunate, “Perhaps some one .
| can donate part of a farm for such a purpose.
I'he committee would be glad w hear from'any
such. CoE Ee Lo
