APPEAL FOR THE POOR.
Sir, —May we be allowed to voice tho needs of tho poor of Auckland? Winter is fast approaching and Major Gordon finds herself greatly in need for food, clothing, bedding and also firing to meet the demands of the poorest of tho poor. Friends will bo interested to learn that during five months last winter tho Salvation Army, by the generous assistance of its friends, was instrumental in helping over 1000 people. Eight hundred bags of coal and wood were distributed, 500 parcels of clothes, besides a considerable number of parcels of groceries and meat. Many distressing cases are coming to our notice daily. Unemployment and sickness make the position acute. For 19 years Major Gordon has laboured devotedly in this city in the interests of the poor and is fully qualified to deal with every case brought to her notice. Gifts of money, clothing or food supplies will be gratefully acknowledged and may bo sent to Major Gordon, Samaritan Office, Welleslev Street, or care of Brigadier Cottrill, P.O. Box 773, Auckland. Walter Cottrill. Brigadier.
