THE ANNUAL APPEAL

DR. BARNARDO'S HOMES.

The history of Dr. Barnardo's Homas is the story of a great Crusade of Love battling against those con ditians which create untold suffering and misery to the little children who have no one to care for them.

There are 7,000 auch little ones in Dr. Barnardo's Homes to-day, and the very high cost of living makes it hard to keep the Homes galog, and to provide for so large a number.

It is earnestly hoped that this *ppeal will again meet with the same generous response as in past years. Subscriptions should be sent to Mrs, H. E, Pellock; 128, The Peak.
