MR STEPHEN AND THE POOR.
[To ?a& Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] Sib, —I was much pleased to see your gentle rebuke to certain personß who came to me at the Theatre last Saturday to be healed, but whose easy, if not affluent, circumstances did not justify them in practically representing themselves as paupers or objects of charity ; because I was obliged to leave from ten to twenty patients without treatment, on account of the lateness of the hour, and they complained bitterly of the persons referred to having taken up my time. I shall feel thankful, therefore, by your intimating that I ehall not heal anybody except Hospital patients, unless they bring me a certificate or note from a minister of any denomination stating that the person is a deserving object of my benevolence.—l am, &c, Milnee Stephen. December 20,1882.
