NOTICE!

By Mrs. Geo. A. Irwin.

The Oakwood Industrial School, at Huntsville, Ala., is destitute of fruit, there being no way by which they can obtain it in quantities during the summer months. As all doubtless know, the work in the Southern field is in a needy condition; and while all may not be able to give money for this cause, we thought perhaps there would be a number of churches in localities where fruit is abundant, who could prepare a barrel of dried apples or peaches for this school, and see that it is shipped to them. Such help as this would be greatly appreciated.

As a general thing, the crops in the South have been a failure this year; and I know of places where a barrel of flour, or of corn meal, or of fruit, would not only be appreciated, but would really lessen the suffering from hunger which seems inevitable at present. I shall be glad to hear from any churches whose members will club together and make such contributions, and to give further particulars concerning the needs.
