CONNVAIPTTON HOSPITAL, BROMPTON.-011 Sun-
day last sermons in behalf of this useful charity were
preached at the parish church, Clapham—in the morning,
by the Rev. Dr. Hearty, incumbent of St. Btrembes,
Kensington ; in the afternoon by the Rev. R. H.
Davies, incumbent of the old church, Chelsea ;
and in the evening by the Rev. W. (:ray, B.A. •,
also at St. Saviour's, Clapham—in the mo ,by
the Rev. L J. Holland; incumbent of Quebec C ;
and in the evening, by the Rev. J. Walker, incumbent of''
:ft. Saviour's, Pimlico. The claims of the institution upon
the sympathy of the benevolent were urged by the seve-
ral preachers, and interesting details in connexion with
the amount of human suffering alleviated by means of the
charity during the last six-and-twenty years were fur-
nished. It appeared that since the opening of the new
building in 1346, 13,749 in-patients and 94,068 out-patients
had been under treatment, end in very many cases with
moat satisfactory results. There were 210 beds at Bramp-
ton, which were occupied during the past year by 1,212
in-patients; 8,623 new cases had also been relieved as
out-patients. The yearly expenses were abort 10,500/.,
and the annual subscriptions (forming the chief tell:hie
income) amounted only to about half that sum ; hence the
frequent need for charitable appeals. Collections were
made in aid of the funds after each service.
