There is a great deal of suffering in this part of Michigan, and it will
take a great many hands and heads to relieve it. It will be a long time
before the farms can be in good order again, the homes rebuilt, the
schools and churches once more erected. Cold weather is coming. We hope
you will ask your parents and teachers if they can not suggest to you
some way of helping the poor people there. They need tools, books, food,
clothing, and in fact everything which makes life comfortable. Boys and
girls can have a share in the privilege of aiding them, if they really
wish it, for in a great undertaking like this we can all help if we try.
