PRIVATE CHARITY.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sib, —The leading article in your issue of Friday last on the subject of resuvcitating the almost dry springs of private charity does credit alike to the head and heart bf the writer. With every sentiment expressed in that article, all men possessed of humanity will agree 'ahd' will fejoica that we have in this glorious little Colony a paper that will spare some of its space for a subject of so elevating a nature— an excellent antidote for much which must necessarily appear _in a newspaper which cannot be described as elevat* ; ing. It is to be hoped that the suggestion*' you make will be acted upon. When' reading the article, I was in hopes that before I came to the end of it I should find a suggestion to Introduce the "Hospital' Sunday" movement in connection with; your scheme. I am confident. Sir, were' one Sunday, say, immediately after harvest, i set apart in his Lordship's diocese, it; would meet with a very hearty response.: The movement should be confined to; ha sect, and should be adopted in the country: as well as in town, for we in the rural; districts know full well the value of that; admirable institution the Christchurch: Hospital.—l am, &c., D. East Oxford, July 28.
