Save the Fragments

By MRS. I. H. E.

A SISTER in Florida,—a “shut in” in her seventieth year,—whose heart was touched by the missionary reading for October, describing the flight of Brother and Sister Oster, with their four weeks’ old babe, from the Kurds in Persia, suggests a plan for adding to the store of mission money raised by the little companies and the isolated believers. Many could make, from remnants of new material, or from that which has seen some service, little garments for babies and young children. Often a pretty, serviceable dress can be made from a half-worn garment; a cloak for play hours may be evolved from an old coat, or little underskirts and aprons and night-gowns from left overs that are often allowed to accumulate. If daintily and attractively made, these garments might be sold, perhaps by children who are anxious to fill their mission barrels; and while the sums received might be small, the aggregate would no doubt prove considerable.

“I have been in this truth for more than forty years,” says this sister, “and have watched the developments that have been made in the world during that time in the light of prophecy. Everything about us today tells us that the end of all things is at hand. Let us work in every way that we can during the little time that remains.”
