FEBRUARY AGAIN.
We are just emerging, "catching
up," in the way of acknowledging
,our "Gifts in Kind,' since Thanks-
giving. Much matter was crowded
out in December, and also, in j anu-
ary. This number of the Messenger
contains all the known "left-overs."
Now, if anything has been omitted
we will be glafl if ourfriends will in-
form us and send the lists so that
we may publish them next month.
Some boxes and packages were re-
ceived during December and Jan.
with no names accompanying them.
The lists may have been sent and
failed to reach us. We are ready
SAINT STEPHEN'S STOCKING.
St. Stephen's Sunday-School.Lex-
ington, South Carolina, sent us a
big "Christmas Stocking." On open-
Ing same we ~ound seventy-three lit-
tle stockings in this one big one.,
and, on counting the contents of said
stockings, we found the snug little
sum of $24.06. Mr. W. P. Roof al-
so sent us a box by freight contain-
mg I roll of Ticking, 1 roll of Dim-
ity, nine prs shoes" I box buttons.
Thanks to all.·

A GREAT PEOPLE.
Not gold, but only men can make
A people great aud strong;
Men who; for truth and honor's
sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
EFFECT OF EXAMPLE'
Go, make thy garden fair as thou
canst,
Thou workest never alone;
Perchance he, whose plot is next to
thine,
Will see it and mend his own.

OUR NEEDS.
'Needing something yet?" Yes in-
deed: and we expect to continue in
the same condition for some indefi-
nite time to come. "Why,?" Because
our children must be fed, clothed,
taught, controlled,and guided aright.
To do thi s we need
SUPPLIES of all kinds,
CASH for our monthly bills,
CASH for paying off the note in
the bank,
CASH for making necessary re-
pairs and improvements,
The active interest, warm sym-
pathy and hearty co-operation of all
our people.
SEND THEM~ON YET.
The Holidays are over:-in fact it
is now~February; but we need juste
as much for Current Expenses now
as we did during the Festal and Hol-
iday months. To Congregations, and
Sunday Schools, and to individuals
we desire to say that we are still
needy. If you were too busy, or if
you over looked it,-or if it did not
jnst suit you to send the Home some-
thing about the time of the Holidays
because so many other things were
pressing upon you, we art'! glad to
tell you that you are not "too late,"
for you can do us just as much act-
ual good by sending us something
now, or later, for we are needy all
the year round. Send now: send any
time: send as much and as often as
you can. Remember that Jesus said
to His Disciples, "For the poor ye
always have with you." Your Orph-
an Home children are a.part of your
"poor. "

A thoughtless word of impatience,
or of censure, or of crit iclsrn, or of
seeming indifference to another's in-
terests, mar give srch pain as you
would not wdlln"iy inflict upon an
enemy; a nd may be a means of cle-
pression and of gr.ef beyond your
imagi.tiiig; There at e marvelous
possi'rilities in a word of kindness,
like the marvelous possibilit les in a
