HOME OF COMPASSION STREET DAY
Next Wednesday the Home of Compassion will hold its annual street-day. This, home deserves every support from the public of 'Wellington, and indeed, of the whole Dominion, because its inmates come from all over the country, and it admits all classes and creeds. Its “open sesame” is helplessness and suffering. Those who go through some of its wards, may come away depressed. They do not imagine that such sufferings exist, and they go away filled with respect for those whose days are spent among such scenes, and who yet are filled with a' cheerfulness that asks for no recognition of merit, and who count it an honour to be able to help the afflicted. That is the spirit that pervades the Home of Compassion. As Rs founder, Mother Aubert, relied ou the charity of her countrymen, so do the Sisters who are carrying on her work, rely on their many friends to do all they can to make the street day a profitable one.
