STREET SALE OF ROSES Appeal On Behalf Of Charity

as

Or Tuesday next, December 1 the St. Vincent de Paul Society will hold its annual Street Sale of Eoses in aid of the Hong Kong poor. In its efforts. to get much money as possible for its poor, the Society has used many methods of appeal, and this, the Last of the present season, is; li- terally, to the man--- and woman

in the street. It is a small re- quest to a large number, and eveni if one has helped the Society by some other form of contribution, there are very few who will re- fuse the few cents that are de- manded for the purchase of a rose.

The Society of St. Vincent de Faul is in the position of never being able to satisfy the needs that come under its notice. It can distinguish between the genuine and the professional poor, but it can only give what is required to a small section of those in real need. It does not consider creed, jor race, and gives generously, to the limits of its power, in cases of real distress of every kind. All. the members of the St. Vincent] de Panl Society are voluntary workers, there are no paid of ficials of any kind, so that every thing that is given to the Society goes straight to the poor.
