THE MAGDA IJEN ASYIAJM AN APPEAL TN appealing: for subscription for tie FIRST MAGDALEN ASYLUM in X New Zealand, the Sisters of the “ Good Shepherd ’ desire to express through me, their sincere gratitude to the inhabitants of this city and the colony generally for the kind co-operation afforded them since they commenced the great work to which their lives are devoted, in their temporary residence, Manchester street North. Hourly we meet with a poor Magdalen, tired of misspent life, seeking a shelter, and finding no security against tin biting blasts ot temptation, turns away with the weight of the world’s accusatfon, with the world s condemnation, and becomes the victim of an unholy impulse, which cannot be recalled, without a sigh—-nay, without a tear. Kindly, therefore, bear in mind—1, A most dosirable site has been acquired for the Magdalen near Christchurch. 2. His Lmlnence Cardinal Moran laid the foundation stone at “ Mount Magdala” on the 18th of February of last year, in thepresence of 5000 people, and the first portion of the Asylum is nearly completed. 3 The advantage of the Magdalen will be extended to all New Zealand and elnewhere, 4. The waifs and wanderers who are rescued from the path* of misery and sin are not asked l@ what ceed they belong. Xt is sufficient that they need succour. 5. The inmates of “Mount Magdala” and the GOSI Shepherd Nuns placed over them will remember always, with lively gratitude, the benefactors of the institution. 6. Subscriptions may be paid either in part or in full, according *o the convenience of subscribers. 7. If, therefore, it was ever true to say “ That he gGes twice who gives quickly,” it is particularly so on the present occasion, in order that soon we may see another House of the Good Shepherd added to the 150 homes scattered over the Globe, in which more than 4000 Religisuses bestow their devoted care on 20,000 children and young girls, while a judicious channel will be found for the outlay of the funds entrusted to the Institution. 8. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd will bo grateful to all those who encourage their friends to subscribe to the funds of the Mag dalen Asylum. The favour of an early response will enable me to bring to a speedy conclusion on institution from which circles of good must emanate to exercise a salutary influence cn the future of the Colony. Subscriptions will also be received by Messrs A. J. White and H H Lough nan, and by the Rev. Mother Prioress, Convent of the Good Shepherd, Manchester street North. Cheques and P.O.
