FOR THE SEAMEN
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Your kindness in the past emboldens me to ask you to permit me again to make an appeal to your many readers to aid us in our endeavour to make Christmas, Boxing, New Year's and Anuiversary Days bright ones for the eafarers who may be in our ports, even as we have done these 32 years. Through your courtesy and the kindness of the public, nearly 180 picnics have been held for the men of the sea, wet or fine, winter and summer, in the period named above; and it is sincerely Hoped that in spite of the many calls on the purses at this season, at least a little brightness will find its way into the holidays for men who are far away from' home, at a time when home means so much to a man. Any gift in money or kind will, as usual, be gratefully acknowledged. Should any of your readers desire to inspect tlie buildings so kindly given by the late Mrs. M. A. Williams, they will be gladly shown over at any hour of the day.—l am, etc., JAMES MOORE, ■ Missioner, Sailors' Friend Society.
