HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V'S SILVER JUBILEE

APPEAL ON BEHALF OF CHARITIES

•

On the 6th May next the British Empire is giving thanks and praise that for 25 years His Majesty King George V has been preserved to bear the sceptre of sovere eignty and maintain the unity, of the Empire. His Majesty's ¦ great interest in all forms of charity is universally recog nised and it is known that His.. Majesty desires this auspicious occasion to be in some manner dedicated to assisting charit- able objects. It has, therefore, been decided to collect funds throughout this Colony for

charitable, purposes, the sub- scriptions not to exceed $1 and humbly to pray His Majesty to nóminate the charities in this Colony to which the moneys collected should be devoted.

The Charitable Collection Sub-Committee is providing boxes for the purpose of the collection and all those who

wish to assist in this laudable object are asked

are to com municate with the Honourable Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G LL.D., of China Building, Hong Kong, who is representing the Chinese Sub-Committee formed for this purpose or to Mr. S. E Balfour of the Colonial Secre tariat, Hongkong, who will arrange for collecting boxes to be forwarded.

This appeal is issued by the Silver Jubilee Committee of Hongkong.
