CHURCH COLLECTIONS.
Sir,—i have read in your columns thai the Presbyterians of, Wellington were requested by Mrs. Wilford to donute the collections of one Sunday to the Children's Hospital fund, and I have read also. of the Presbyterian citizens' generous response, by means of church collections'and also by private donations, but X am still waiting to read that Mrs. Wilford has given a similar invitation to the other Churches of Wellington, some of which, notably the Soman Catholic and Church of England, havo probably a wealthier .and larger membership than the Church that, has been singled out. As a rule, Roman Catholic and Church of England patients predominate at the Wellington Hospital, and one would like to know wiry Mrs. Wilfovd hns not solicited Sunday collections from the Churches to which these .belong. If I remember rightly, a Presbyterian Church, St. John's, last winter headed the list of. church collections made on be-, half of the unemployed .of .all creeds in the city.—l am, etc., .-■ : ,- INTERESTED.
