FORMS OF CHARITY
ADDRESS BY CANON HAMMOND The numerous forms of poverty, and the service that could be given to overcome hardships in many cases, were outlined by Canon R. B. S. Hammond in an address, "Not Charity—An Opportunity," given at the Rotary Club luncheon yesterday. Canon Hammond, who is the founder of Hammondville, a model settlement near Sydney, to help unemployed and others in need of assistance, said that it was not charity that was desired by most people, but opportunity. The man that sought opportunity and not charity was to be admired. Money was not always necessary, and those that gave to the cause of poverty need not be asked to give more, but to give more wisely. There were many forms of poverty and each formed a separate problem, yet these could all be overcome. The following visiting Rotarians were present:—Mr. W. R. Pebbs, England; Mr". H. L. Jones, Queensland; Mr. H. Blackstone, New Plymouth; Mr. E. F. Vaile, Mr. R. R. Spedding, Rotorua; Mr. J. Skow, Whangarei; Mr. R. H.. Nesbit, Wellington. Other visitors included Mr. H. E. Lindsay, Lautoka; Dr. Barry, Sydney.
