OUR WINTER CAMPAIGN

| OUR OBJECTIVE .... £3O 0 0 | y Already -subscribed.. 48 40 0 jjfc i I Still wanted .... £1 iO 0 jj

This week has been a much more encouraging one, with added cargo for the Comfort Ship, and a really wonderful increase in donations to our Comforts' Fund. Last Saturday, these totalled only £1 4s; this week, the subscriptions have suddenly jumpod to over £8! Don't you think that is splendid ' Sister Pat and I do, and we are very thankful indeed for this evidence of generosity and sympathy. The donation of £4 that heads our list to-day was accompanied by a most kindly letter, and to another generous donation was attached the following message: " From one to whom your account of your visit last week to the City Mission preached a sermon. With pleasure I send the enclosed. May God prosper your good work! " You can imagine, perhaps, what encouragement and help such messages as tlieso bring to Sister Esther and myself! Among the parcels this week was one worthy of special mention, a cot-cover, all bright patchwork, made bv tho little girls of a small country school at Upper Waiwera, Kaukapakapa. " Please accept this community quilt said a little note from the teacher. "It is padded with wool from somo of the girls pet rabbits and pet sheep, and it contains many kind thoughts." Now, wasn't that perfectly delightful ? I will see that the little girl who gets that quilt is told about its filling! Our warmest thanks, dear members of the Brigade, for your continued generosity and support! WINTER COMFORTS FUND £ s. d. Roderick Johnstone, Manurewa .400 Mr. and Sirs.
