X to help the poor and friendless,, both m body and soul, 4-he work being commenced with a Rescue Houm 1 . t Church Army work jmblicly conitiK'nied iv Xc" Zealand on. Ash Wednesday. 1910. as. a self-denial effort for the benelit of London poor. Sinne then £841 10s' 3d has been subscribed for tho purple of helping the Church -Army at Home, to teed tho many thousands m tiui'.r Labor and Rest Homes; £700 of i this money being earmarked for Christmas dinners for children. But a more pressing need is brought under our notice since the war, consequently a 1 '"*Save the Children Fund" has been commenced m. England. In June. 1919. it was officially announced that the Treasury would provide £> for £ raised hy charitable organisations m the United Kingdom for the relief of distress m Europe. Two months ago £970,000 was paid into the Treasury by the Mansion House Fund. Church Army and others ; therefore, double that amount was available to relieve the distress. ■' The Church Aniiy senb mo the particulars m a pamphlet. All money subscribed m New Zealand and forwarded to Headquarters will receive the subsidy as if raised m- the i United Kingdom. ( j Lord Curzou says: "It is difficult for pur people to realise, the exteutof .the suffering that still exists. The effects »re seen m a scale of mortality that can hardly be measured." ,"■'■.' Hie Lord Mayor oi' London, speaking uf Asia Minor and Armenia, said: "Words fail to*, describe, or even, faintly outline, thn acute misery of tho children. The funds at our disposal have been spent to the last shilling. Child life m tkase regions is 'a life of starvation, of neglect and hopeless, drawn-out agony. Will you help to afford these thousands of little ones something of food and covering for their poor, emaciated bodies, something of lovinff care: "Savp the Children ■ Fund", tell your readers that the war, has left Serbia , with 500 OCO fatherless children, and of these 150.0C0 are* auite destitute. From Budapest. Hungary, Mr. Hoover says : "There is no milk for children. Rickets is an almost universal disease, and paper clothing and paper •bandages have to be used. -There is no vaseline or ointments to treat bed- ' soves andxothpr ills caused by the malnutrition of babies." Madame Milyuka says "tJiat m some districts m Russia the mortality among children reaches 95 per cent., Milk cannot be obtained, and no soap to wash .children's clothes." . Mr. Hoover wrote to The- Times, saying there were a million undernourftbed children m Poland. ' ■ . • Lady Muriel Paget, whose mission has accomplished so much good work ir. Czpcho-Slnvakia, told a Times representative, that m one district of 60.000, people there was only one doctor. Children do -not attend school, because thov have no clothes*, and are too hungry to learn. Grass i 3 used as a vegetable. .Bread is made of straw, bran and wood. . Air. Hoover also said: "I commend to the efforts .of all English-speaking rwople the starving young children. There are more than 3^ million's': m Europe who will die if not provided with milk.. This will liave to be dono by prvate ohariiies." ". - ' We are living m the favored country . of New Zealand, and escaped the ravages'* of war,, and although we have many obligations, „ yet, could deny ourp.e'ves of litx^iries to send the money so saved to help those who cannot help themselves m devastated Europe. I shall bo glad to - recfeive contributions, or the result of any net of selfdenial for the sake of others'— however small the sum may be. The money will be cabled monthly to headquarters, so pressing is the need. Yours" sincerely, F. W., WHIBLEY. The Vicarage, Ormondville. „ Hon. >Secretary Church Army m N.Z^ '• ■ . 666.
