Much interest and good organisation lis being put into the arrangements for the street sale for St. Peter's Mission' The Rev. T. FeUden-Taylor, Mre. Taylor, and many members of The King's Theatre , Congregation are working hard to make thus effort a great success. The i district in which the missioner works is [ one in which there are many sad cases of real need and hardship. As the winter approaches the sufferings.of the very ! old and the very young from cold in- ! crease considerably, and though a winter sale is a great trial to those who under- ; take to stand about in the streets for a long day, it is usually successful, as the ! conditions bring before people the suf- ! ferings of those who cannot afford thorI oughly warm clothing, adequate food, and good fires. Cheerle&s homes are ■doubly so in winter, and so it is hoped j that all citizens will endeavour to help ! St. Peter's . Mission on this occasion. Gifts of anything saleable may be left '.at- the Mission House, at Taranaki-street, or if people a'fe unable to send them ■there, thoy will be called for if Mr. Feilden-Taylor is notified.
