THE LANC/ receipts fell far below the run uing expenses, and month aftei month a debt was growing large and larger. We have up to thi: writiug received just about hal ol what we ought to have re coived. So we are looking to Worl Day to "give us a lift." Wil you not help us?" 4 ?h.c jpmfaaite* |Uu's (SEMI-WEEKLY.) WF.1>^IFM)11, SEPT. 1?. lOON. WORK DAY FOR THE ORPHANS. We li ive before us an inter-, . ? estinsr supplement to "Orphanage Notes," a monthly publication devo ed !o the interests of Connie Maxwell Orphanage, in which i3 emphasized the importance nl a general observance ol Work Day this year, particular ly bv the Sunday schools in the State. We ipi le from the supplement: We hope every Sunday School the State will observe Work Day 'Ins year. Not only the liaptists are asked to observe 'he day, but Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, liebrews, all, all, everywhere?are asked to work Saturday, October third, and send the proceeds derived from their labors to the Or phauage ?f 'heir choice. The best way to make any such observance a success is to plan for it. Let the Superintendent appoint committees whose duty it shall be to see to it that Work Day is well adver tised. Send to us tor literature. Scatter the notices everywhere. Let those who.work on the tarms know of it, and those who work in the mills, and shops and everywhere. Plan for a big day and you will have it. Announce that the money is to be brought to Sunday School the day following Work Day, and have a day of special observance. We have prepared a suitable program for that day which we will be glad to send to those who ask for it. Nothing vorks so well as a well-planned scheme. Plan for Work Day, and follow your plan,, and you will succeed." The Work Day idea is an ex " cellent one, and it faithfully carried out this year as usual will result in the extension of substantial and much needed aid to tii=; many inmates of the orphanages in the State. All told, there are now 250 persons in the Con nie Maxwell Orphanage, ami the expenses ol the institution average $2,000 a month. Unlortunately. the contributions have lallen oil considerably during the past 1 ew months?an additional reason why the fuends of the fatherless should put forth greater efforts now than ever helore in their behalf. As to the value of Work Day to the Orphanage and the institution's present financial condition, tlie supplement says : "As the /all ol the year approaches we turn again !o lire annual Work Day lor the Or-j phau-. asking that one day's labor be devoted to the faiherIado /.ItiMr... ?.? 111 ^uuui ii at vywii iiit> *?i i\a v> f*i i I Orphanage in past years (>r-!( phanage Work Day has meant a ureat deal to us, and we hope it will this year.
