Are compelled to resort once more to the
benevolence of the public For aid in their at
tempts to relieve the sufferngs of their fellow
creatures. The extreme severity OF the
winter has brought many applicants to this
Society for relief, and not a few have been
the AGED, sick, and small chEdrcn. With
rery reduced funds and very limited
number of subscribers, the society have
scarcely means to afford that relief so much
needed, in the extremity of suffering which
so many have endured. Many are the how
els of wretchedness which have been visited
and they have wrung the bitter tears OF
humanity over mseries which could not be
mitigated because there was no garments
to bestow, no warm bedding to offer (; and
many of what are called the "decent poor
have received only small donation, where,
did our means allow it, would be luxury OF
feeling to give; and benevolence of the first
order to give largely. To the public we can
not tell our difficulties nor all the wants ot
the poor ave knozy but this we can say
|
naked" which our citizens may place within
our power will not be misapplied nor vast
ed.


Half worn clothing would be extremely
useful, and Gentleman and Ladies who have
articles Of this kind to spare would confer q
great favourby sending them to the society:
room at Mrs. DR.. Smith, corner of King and
Broad streets.


"Thou shalt surely give, and thy heart
shall not be grieved when thou givest, be-
cause that for this thing, the Lord thy God
shall bless the in all thy works and in al
thou puttcst thy hand unto"


Deut. IS. 10.


"Blessed is he that considereth the poor
he Lord will deliver him in time OF trouble =
Ps.41.
