APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
To raise funds for the Home of Compassion, Island Bay, a street day will be held next Thursday. No institution is more deserving of sympathy and support than tlie Home of Compassion, in which is incorporated the Home for Incurables. It was founded by the late Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubcrt, who came to New Zealand with the pioneer missionary Bishop Pompallier, in lSlil. Her first work was among the Maoris at Jerusalem, on the Wanganui River. When she came to Wellington she opened a homo for indigent old people in Buckle Street, and later, seeing the neeo of working mothers, started a creche next door. Then followed the expansion of the work to the care of incurables, and new premises for this humanitarian work were built at Island Bay. ,
