Some of the poor little chil-dren have never had any clothes to put 34 The Missionary Visitor January1916. Sister Widdowsons S. S. Class, AnKiesvar. on. They are so used to running aboutwithout it that if one would give themclothing I doubt if they would wear childrens parents are very poortoo. Their fathers earn about ten centsa day.
