ST. MARTIN'S HOUSE OF HELP APPEAL

We have to acknowledge with many thanks the following further donations: — „ . £ s. d.

We shall be very glad to receive further donations, as we have not yet received enough to carry us on over the winter. The worst of the winter is not yet over. We shall be glad of more half-crowns and five shillings. It is the lack of these that make our financing so hard. When we began the work, we received so many of these smaller gifts that the less frequent gifts of from £5 to £SO brought up our funds to a big total. A small money-order or stamps are easily got and sent -to us, and are such a boon. All donations may be sent to Rev. P. Revell. St. Martin's House of Help. 199 Antigua street, and will be acknowledged in "The Press." —1
