RED CROSS SHIP 
APPEAL FOR FuNDs To SEND SurP ro 
EUROPE 
We are sending to the readers of 
_ this article an appeal in behalf of the 
Red Cross hospital ship, which Amer- 
ican citizens must all feel will only 
too soon be sadly needed in the zone 
of hardship and suffering. 
In order to start this vessel on its 
journey a suitable sum must be ex- 
pended for the necessary medical and 
surgical supplies, as well as the deli- 
cate food stuffs which are required 
for the sick and wounded. Its main- 
tenance is dependant upon the sym- 
pathies of the public. It is a very ex- 
pensive undertaking, but America 
feels it her duty to help in every way 
possible in such a calamity and in part 
repay the generous help rendered her 
during the war with Spain. 
There is not a man, woman or child 
knowing of ‘the dreadful situation in 
Europe that can but realize the ur- 
gent need for the departure of this 
relief vessel, which cannot start on its 
way until the citizens of the United 
States have fitted her up with the 
necessary articles. 
With the Red Cross flag flying it 
may sail into all waters as a neutral 
ship and offer its assistance wherever 
it is needed. The work it can do for 
all nations is unlimited, so we ask 
those of all nationalities to help this 
ship to carry relief, not only to one, 
but to all countries involved. 
The smallest sum, as well as the 
largest will perhaps mean helping the 
ship to leave a day earlier, so do not 
begrudge the cause a single cent and 
every wounded or sick man treated 
by the Red Cross Hospital Ship will 
have you to thank, no matter how 
small your contribution. 
All contributions may be sent to 
Gardiner M. Lane, 44 State Street, 
Boston, or to W. O. Chapman,

The ladies of the Missionary soci- 
ety of the Congregational church were 
entertained Wednesday at Mrs. J. F. 
Rabardy’s cottage at Wheeler’s Point, 
Gloucester, the occasion proving most 
delightful for the 28 that attended. 
In the number, it is of interest to note, 
were ten whose ages were over 70, 
and of that number three had passed 
the four-score milestone. Their age, 
however, but made them enjoy this 
occasion all the more, for the Mission- 
ary society has been one of the or- 
ganizations connected with the church 
for more than two generations. Most 
of the ladies went to Gloucester on 
the 10.30 train and returned on the 
5.15. Mrs. Washburn read a paper. 
Rev. and Mrs. C. A. Lincoln, who 
summer at Annisquam, nearby, were 
visitors at the cottage partiof the day.
