AN APPEAL.
The appeal published below for the
j fatherless children of France was
1 sent me by Mr. Moorehead Wright of
Little Rock, treasurer, and with it a
letter from Mrs. E. G. Thompson, al
so of Little Rock, chairman of this
district, in which she asked me to
take charge of the fund that might
be raised in Jackson county and
j Newport. Many of our citizens are
| already contributors, but it is very
i possible that they may wish to take
| more orphans, and I am sure there
! are a very great many more who
; have not yet taken any, but will be
i glad to do so. France is our battle
giound. It’s wom& and children
have, in these past weeks, fighting
alone, offered up thousands of good
|men and true, who were husbands
and fathers. With the help of its
I allies, France is stemming the tide
of the Huns, but it is paying the
price of blood. Any of our citizens
who may wish to join this great hu
mane movement of “adopting a
French orphan,” or if unable to take
a year’s care, may combine with a
friend, or even send 10 cents for one
I day. I shall be happy to send your
contribution to Mr. Wright who will
send it on to France. Not one penny
of the money collected is used for
any other purpose but is sent direct.
You may have the name and address
of the child you adopt if you wish,
and you may pay quarterly, if mroe j
convenient. Every church, Sunday
school, fraternal order, club or so
cial or religious organization of the
county, might consider this as a di-'
rect appeal. Money may be left with i
either bank, with instruction, or sent
to
Mrs. W. A. Billingsley,
Local Treasurer of the Fatherless
Children in France.
THE APPEAL.
Attention Southerners!
Remember the days of Reconstruc
tion after the civil war! Contrast
those hardships endured and conquer
ed with the conditions which will i
prevail in France after Peace comes!
Her reconstruction will be more like
Resurrection, and will be impossible
unless the present generatioh of chil-1
dien is saved to become strong, nor
mal men and women.
The Fatherless Children of France |
are the first line of defense in the
coming battle for national life after,
peace is declared. They are not only
the more t unfortunate little ones
whose contact with the invading
hordes has blasted body and soul,
children whose fathers were doctors,
lawyers, tradesmen, farmers and who ■
still l^ve a remnant of home-life.
Our aim is to provide for these j
fatherless children a small allowance,
sufficient to maintain them in their
homes with their mothers—to be
reared in the religion of their fathers,
with the education of their country,
thus guaranteeing to France real,
citizens for tomorrow.
We beg you to save one of these
children and make possible the ■
Resurrection of France!
Baptist bible institute.
Beginning Sunday, April 14th, a
five days’ Sunday ' school and Bible
Institute will be conducted at the:
Baptist church. The work will be in j
charge of the Sunday school secreta- i
ry of the Baptist State Mission board,
Mr. J. B. Moseley. The purpose of
the work is to train Sunday school
workers and teachers, and while it
. I
is under the auspices of the Baptist
church, every Sunday school worker j
who wishes to take advantage of the
opportunity for further training un
der an expert Sunday school man, is
welcome to all the sessions. Further
announcement as to the program for
each day’s work will be made later.!
From Monday throughout the re
mainder of the institute, Brother
Compere, assistant secretary of the
State Mission Board, will be with us,
and will speak each night. Many of
our people will recall the strong ad
dress of Brother Compere during our
State Mission campaign in November.
It is planned to make this Bible
institute an annual event at the Bap
tist church, studying various phases
of church life and activity. The
stress this year is laid principally on
Sunday school work, and it is sin
cerely hoped that we will take advan
tage of the opportunity to better
equip ourselves in that line of work.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH NOTICE,,
From 12 noon today (Thursday^
to 6 o’clock p. m. there will be held
the regular annual election of a
vestry at the church, during which
hours all members of the church are

DO SPLENDID WORK.
A ltter from D. D. Burkett, post
master at Jacksonport, to the Inde
pendent tells of the colored popula
tion of that good little town pur
chasing Thrift stamps a few nights
ago to the amount of $226. The
meeting is described as having been
i very patriotic one, and reflects
great credit upon the negroes.
In asking the people to invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to
contribute money.
