The pressing need imong many peo ple, due to the peculiarly unfavorable conditions that have prevailed lor the past year. Is not being: felt by the Associated Charities alone, but is ap parent in other spheres, as is evidenced by the following letter from one of the high officials of the city in re sponse to the appeal from the Asso ciated Charities for contributions to the fund that will make it possible for it to carry on its work this Sum mer. The letter says: "I have your letter of the 24th inst. with its appeal for assistance in the i-nmpaiRn you arc now making to raise $.'000 to carry on the work of the association. 1 think I can fully realize the situation you are facing-, and the sreat need which exists, as I am face to face with the same thing daily. As you have also noticed, no doubt, the condition of unemployment has not lessened with the coming of Summer, as we had all hoped, and appeals come to this office almost daily for assist ance In various ways. For this reason I feel that it will be impossible for me to contribute Ht this time." Demands Are Greater. Conditions such as are mentioned in this letter are what have especially increased the burden which must be borne by the Associated Charities and ether established benevolent organiza tions In the city. Many temporary or ganizations sprang up about Christmas lime for the relief of the poor, but these have suspended their activity and their wards have been turned back to tlin care of the Charities. Moit de mands for help are coming to the Char ities each day this year than ever be fore ul the same season of the year, and the Jrain upon the funds of the orsraniza lion baa been tremendous. Thus far the relief work has gone forward as far as the resources of the association would permit, but it will be necessary soon to close the office of the Charities, unless the $5000 fund that is now being: raised can be com pleted. Some of the typical cases that have appeared within one day at the Chari ties follow: 1. A man and wife and three children less than 10 years of age ore to be evicted for non-payment of rent. The wife is ill. the man out of work and relief is needed at once. 2. A man and wife have had noth ing to eat for two days; no wood in the house for fuel; they are to be evicted for non-payment of rent un less relieved. 3. Widower: two sons; father out of work, but trying hard to take care of his boys: credit at store to be topped; relief needed at once. New Babe Arrive. 4. Man, wife and babe two days old: Teported to Charities by the Visiting Nurse Association; man cannot leave wife to look for work at this time; food and wood needed. 5. Man, wife and three children, "in need c.f everything," reported to the Char'eies office. 6. Woman: two children; mother Just returned home from the hospital; food needed. 7. Man. wife and one little girl: man out of work; family needs food and father employment. Another request was made to the of fice yesterday, and that is for a man who will plow up a plot of ground at ICast Twenty-third street and Haw thorne avenue for a destitute family. The members of the family are try ing to (ret along-, but have nothing- with which to stock their garden or to hire it plowed. Seed stock has been donated by a benevolent Individual and the Charities now seeks someone who will be willing to go out and plow the ground so that they can put it in hape for the garden. One of the striking contributions to the fund yesterday was the donation by little Richard Nunn of his allowance of ?5 cents. He intended to give half of the allowance at first, but "thought the matter over" and decided to give all. A man living at Oswego Informed the Charities that some family could have his house for a few weeks and that he would supply milk, vegetables and eggs as much as they might need. Some convalescing mother will be sent out there to recover. Journed meeting yesterday took action formally transferring- Dr. A. O. Hutch ison from the pastorate of the Third Church to that of the Piedmont Pres byterian Church. Dr. Hutchison offered his resignation as pastor of the Third Church to take effect May SI and ac cepted the call to the Piedmont church. Dr. Hutchison will be installed aa pastor of his new charge Tuesday ntacht. June 8, and a committee to ar range for the installation was ap pointed consisting of Dr. Hutchison, William Robb and C. P. McRae. The next regular meeting of the Presbytery will be at Piedmont Church on the afternoon of the same day. Rev. A. J. Montgomery was chosen moderator of the Third Church during the vacancy and that church was au thorized to supply its pulpit. In assuming- his duties as pastor of Piedmont Church. Dr. Hutchison takes the place left vacant by the resigna tion of Rev. J. K. Snyder, now pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Pendleton. Definite action for the merging of the Third Church and Hawthorne Park Church will be taken up by the Pres bytery at some future date.
