HONGKONG BENEVOLENT SOCIETY

(Continuation)

There is ample scope for the employment of this additional revenue in the furtherance of the work, and while gratefully acknowledging this generous gift, the Committee sincerely hope that present subscribers will continue their support as in past years, and that new members may be added to the list, for although by the gift the funds may not be at such a low ebb as in the year 1906, when the work was seriously crippled by lack of funds. The European population is increasing and the Society needs all the help and support that can be afforded to it to meet the demands for assistance and to carry on the work satisfactorily.

This charitable work has gone on unchecked, but from time to time similar financial crises have had to be faced by the benevolent committee, whose resources have often been seriously depleted. Reference might here be made to recent efforts during 1933 a total of 62 cases were helped, and in the first eight months of 1934 alone there were 65 individual calls for aid.
