Starving—ln Mind and Body You who live in plenty, please read the following; Owing to the great necessity that the Mission’s are in, we are forced to appeal to our friends for help. There are over 350,000,000 people in India, Burma, and Ceylon and they are nearly all outside the fold of Christian civilisation. Vast numbers of poverty-stricken people appeal to us for help and education, and we are able to help only a small percentage, owing to our limited means. We therefore appeal to the people of this Dominion —in the name of Christ — do their best to assist us with their alms. You will share in thousands of Masses annually and our poor little angels then will make a novena for you four times a year before the feast of St. Joseph, the Sacred Heart, St. Francis Xavier, and the Immaculate Conception. If you send in your requests, they will be laid on the altar during the novena. 10/- to help feed an orphan; £lO for a native catechist; £1 to save a pagan child; £2O to educate a native priest; £2 to educate a native boy or girl; or build a little chapel or school. Please give what you can and mention this to your friends. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Henry Westropp, S.J., Archbishop House, Wodehouse Road, Bombay, India. We wish to acknowledge a number of 5s and 10s postal notes for cards. Being unable to answer each letter, please accept our grateful thanks. All subscriptions for above and any further particulars please send Bert Gallien, North-east Valley, Dunedin, Our N.Z. Organiser, X G , Mummer I V E ® BLOOM TEA A Trial 1 and J Rejoice i x_ X
