211 t Fornmittee most respectfully and earnestly solicit the benevo-
nlet",ention of the public towards the support of this institution,
"lien has for its object the relief of misery and distress, at. a period
*lth `",° applicants are too frequently bereft of all other aid, when
Only
.I°oilitated health and ruined fortunes, they can leek forward
Neatlllle parish workhouse as their last shelter, and from the de-
It 'n of which this charity seeks te rescue them.
l'ociet,rftioleSt needless to state that there are very many whom this
"ery-,„se'ekti to relieve who have to mourn the deprivation of
aid of "Infort ; the wide .% sof such persons receive the protecting
ing
„ho Charity. It also includes amongst its annuitants deserv-
f, 4 bore 'women, a feature at once sufficient to claim at the hands
of „.'leYolent public the warmest support. What a numerous class
offije"s!rers are to be found under this head Look at the various
for an they have held during perhaps they have struggled
"niTo4ged Parent—how full of self-denial in order to add to the
,gover„ sof such a one. Look at the thousands who have acted as
'le en e"oa and in such like capacities, and by these means have
Citn t;:eable,d
to gain their livelihood until old age prevented them.
l'reteeto,r6 be an act more benevolent than to aid such a class of uu
°Os Persons, whose early days ware passed in instilling Telig,i-
fletwou"..,virtueus principles into the minds of the young, and in en-
obiTehetseirngsttitounttioaiki e

in fact, its own advocate. Universal in Its
Philant d excellent in its regulation ,it may appeal for support to
liaritiLuroldsts of every persuasion and of every land, for the. peen-
it , bro nOf sect, and the distinctions of country are no obstructions to
reen „a, course of its benevolence. Distress is the chief claim
aernangrses, and a former life of respectability the only condition it
