H.K. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY

ANNUAL MEETING TO-DAY

aro

and

The need for, and the calls upon, the Hong Kong Benevolant Society have never perhaps been greater than they are to-day. It is an unfortunate fact that a growing number of Extropean men

without employment women through no fault of their own. Conditions are worse in Shanghai, and it takes a stout heart to face the prospect of going back to Eng- No land with no joh in view, European resident of this Colony who is in the bappy position of being in employment can view the present state of affairs with a com: fortable heart, Retrenchment -it everywhere in the air-one day his turn may come! It is hoped that gthere will be-a-large-attendance at the annual meeting of the Hong Kong Benevolent Society at 5:30 p.m. to-day in the Cathedral Hall.

It is good that one should know what is being done to help those who are in difficulties; to ledri in what direction one can aasiat, and good to know that there is an activé body of people, who are interesting themselves in this work. The work of the Benevolent Society is not just giving aims to those who are in want. It is on a more construc bive basis, The Society helpa, some- times over a considerable period of year, with the education of the children of those whose income is insufficient. It provides passages 8.26 home, and a little money to go on with" for widows and children who need that assistance. Ib pro- vides, on occasions, rent, furniture, food and clothes to tide a family over a bad patch. It sparos no endeavour to obtain work, for those that heed it.

This is a splendid and worthwhile work and deserves not only our support but our real interest. The raneting a being held at 5.30 p.m. to-day at the Cathedral Hall.

The Society is advised by busi- neas men of experience, and the funds are carefully administered. A great deal is expanded in small grants, and we believe that it is very rare indeed for any applica- tion for help to be refused; but, as we have said, the biggest work of the Society is in helping in an with unobtrusive manner those small incomes to be useful, healthy and happy members of the com munity Assuring that a widow and ber children will be able to return to their relations in the homeland, that the friendless and Those who know the gigantio
