For the relief of this class of vet- ! erans the Church Army conducts the i Seymour- Hostel, off Marylebone Road, i London, where the ex-soldier may stay while he learns some new craft, and otherwise becomes able to support himself and anyone that may be dependent upon him.

catcd in our advertising columns, funds arc urgently needed to extend this good work of tlie Church. Army.
