CHRISTMAS APPEALS.
SISTER ESTHER'S WORK
Sister. Esther writes from 11, Picton Street,"Ponsonby: "We feel it more than ever our duty to continue our Christmas work —to try to provide food for all who we know will be in need. We pray fervently that the call for help which reaches us daily from the homes of the poor, when placed before the public will receive earnest and sympathetic consideration. The shortage of food is still acute. We are nearing the close of what has been one of the most difficult years of our work. We have never known such depression and want; we work in the midst of it, which is a great privilege. We than Almighty God and a generous public that we have not had once throughout the whole year to refuse food to any in need. We shall require provisions in large quantities if we are to fill the cupboards of our ever-increasing family of sick and needy ones, and to assist them over the. festive season. No gift too small or too large—all will be gratefully received."
