This is as true in Auckland to-day as it was in the Holy Land nineteen hundred years ago, when the Divine Physician spoke these words. Unfortunately many of the poor are sick also. When this is the case they are visited by the St. John District Nurses in their own homes. When any one, rieh or poor, is seriously ill or pieets with an accident, all that is necessary in order to procure skilled assistance is to ring 41-233, giving the locality nnd the nature of the illness or accident. and stating whether a doctor is in attendance or is required. One of the St. John Transport Officers will be immediately dispatched in an up-to-date Motor Ambulance provided with all modern appliances, to secure the comfort of the patient, to take him to the hospital or his home. To maintain the District Nursing and Ambulance Transport Services and procure another Ambulance, which is urgently needed, the sum of £2,000 is required. The Street Collection will be made on Friday, November 4. “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth to the Lord.”—-22.
