OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD.
By E. P. Auger
ALCORN COUNTY, MISS., presents a field greatly in need of Christian help work. The cotton and corn crops especially have been poor this last season, and in consequence the renters are all very poor this year, and their small crop will not pay for the food bought on credit while they were cultivating their crop. Many families are destitute, the children without warm clothes or shoes. Some are suffering these cold nights, and many children are going barefooted. If some of our people will send me, prepaid, some outgrown clothes, shoes, etc., I will distribute them to the needy, as many widows and orphans and country people are driven by hunger to the city to earn a living. My wife and I have been giving all we could, and have received many garments from people here to give to these unfortunates. Not a tenth of the suffering ones are relieved, so I take this way to let our people know of the good they can do by sending us clothing, especially for children. We do missionary work by nursing the sick, holding cottage meetings and Bible readings, supplying paper racks at railroad stations, feeding the hungry, etc. There is good interest to read and hear the truth. Address me at Corinth, Alcorn Co., Miss.
