The first to be helped is Mrs.Li, the nice round-faced Mrs Li who. lives in the temple outsiSe the church gate, and who does such beautiful tatting.She works so hard to support herself and husband who is sick arid not young and the two little boys. She thought she might jtfl have to send the doys to an orphanage at Tai An and that would mean giving up all claim to them. Her husband said, "Let me go-? I am no good-but don« t let your boys go. You will need them*- But the orphans' Home does not take sick mem When this money came I sent for her and told her that we could now give her a dollar a month for the older boy for five months and. pay into the home for poor children the amount it will take to add her little seven- year- old there. She takes this as Qod» s loving answer to her prayers and is so thankful. Thank you and all so muoho I will try to write soon to the other givers. |
