WORK AMONG POOR

MISSION THANKS ST. JOHN AMBULANCE FREEMAN’S BAY’S TRIBUTE "How can we thank you at St. John for what you are doing for us at Freeman's Bay? The story of your wonderful Nursery Division should touch the hearts and enlist the practical sympathy of thousands who cannot do the work but long to see it done.” Thus a letter from the Dock Street Mission at Freeman’s Bay received at the annual meeting of the St. John Ambulance Association last evening. The writer described the work of a nurse in one home which had come under his personal notice. The mission’s workers had been of little help here, but the nurse made her presence felt immediately. “At our mission every Monday evening two splendid and gracious women care for the little children and poor people.” continued the letter. “The influence of these two is simply wonderful, and enables us to reach our People in a way we never could before.” In enclosing a donation of £2 2s the writer expressed the wish that the miss on could make a gift worthy of the great unselfish and. Christ-like work of the St. John Ambulance.
