For Sweet Charity's Sake

"For sweet charity's sake" the Baptist church was well filled on Tuesday eYening of last week. The Amphion club, assisted by Miss Winohell, Miss Carruthers ' and others, the University Glee club and the Chequamegon orchestra, gave a most agreeable concert. Nine numbers were given, the audience joining in the Christma8 antbem at the close. The proceeds of the concert, as advertised, were to be used for Christmas gifts to the poor children in Üie city. On Saturday afternoon 110 children were gathered in Fireraen's hall to receive the gifts. The Amphions kindly assisted at this happy scène and gladdened the hearts of the children with three of their sweet songs. Orrin Cady, with whom the idea originated, told in a brief and happy way the story of Sir Launful, calling on the children to repeat after hiru the couplet that contains the point of the poem : " Not what we give, but what we ihare , The gift without the giver is bare." Then followed the distribution of gifte. The funds that remained after buying the presenta were placed in the hands of the treasurer of the Charitable Union lor purchasing needed clothing for the children. A goodly number of poor children wH be warmer and happier on account of the concert.
