Ladies' Christian Association. The monthly meeting of the Wellington Ladies' Christian Association was held yesterday afternoon at -St. John's Schoolroom, when a great many cases of people requiring assistance were reported, and several ones which had been previously reported were dealt with further. The official visitor of the association reported that during the month she had paid 145 visits. The association finds that it is called upon to relieve cases of cxtremest poverty, and it begs its friends to remember that it is always very glad to receive subscriptions. Its work goes on steadily from year to year, ever increasing in its scope, and with every year it requires a large increase of subscribers, for, of course, it has to be prepared to lose a number of its old supporters. People do*not, perhaps, realise how constantly a subscribers' list requires revision, how illness and travel, and changed circumstances, and half a dozen other causes take away - subscribers,- and leave vacancies, to be" filled .by new friends; The association does not only ask for money. If any sympathisers have blankets to give away, they may bo interested to learn that with each winter a big do-" wand for blankets is made on tho.association, and they are always glad of such gifts.
