(1)

352 L Dec. 8; ed: 3/1 - In the newer forms of charity which the war
has developed, and which appeal with irresistible eloquence to every
benevolent heart, there is danger that established charities of older
growth will find the well-trodden paths by which they have been sustain-
ed unequal to their requirements. None deny that all must be support-
ed; but if older charities can be helped on their way by an "admixation"
of amusement and rational excitement with alms-giving, it seems just
and expedient that such should be their recourse.

This being our view, we urge for the projected fair for the Trinity church home a generous patronage.

To call this "Trinity Church home" might seem a misnomer, since we are informed that its benefits are limited to no particular communion that its doors open to the sick and friendless without regard to name or nation, and often beyond the limits of its slender support.

353 L Dec. 13:3/2 The fair for the benefit of the Trinity church
home at Gray's armory has been a great success. The income of the home
