HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON.

REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTI-
TUTE CHILDREN and CHICHEST ER TRAINING
SHIP.--Upwards of 500 Boys and Girls are now being supported
in these Refuges and Ship.
Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which
have for several months been made to aid the sick and Wounded
in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges
and Ship have decreased considerably.
An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support

the inmates.
£l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and £1 ss. for a
month.
Contributions thankfully received by -the London and West-
minster Bank, 214, High Holborn, W.(4., and 41, Lothbury,
E.C., and by

WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Secretary
No. 8, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C.
