, THE MAGDALEN ASYLUM. a Toioa prom "mount MAGDALA. AN APPEAL. ' : : . f - ' IN nppealing for siubscriptibnfl 1 for the* FIRST MAGDALEN ASYLUM' in Now Zealand, the Sisters of the “Gobd Shepherd ” desire to express, through me, their siooere gratitude to the inhabitants of thii City and the Colony generally for the 1 kind 00-operation afforded them .since’. they commenced the great work to whiob their lives are devoted in,;.their temporary dence, Manchester Street North, Hourly we meet with a poor Magdalep,. ired of a misspent life,: seeking a shelter, ' and fiodih^ 1 nb security ag&inst the biting tblasts of renewed temptation, turns away with the wteigbVcf ‘ the world’s aobustitijuV with the'world’s oondem'nsition, and becomes the victim of :an unholy impulse, which cannot be recalled without a sigh —i hay, without a tear, Kindly, therefore,: bear in mind— • • ■■■■,■ 1. A most desirable site haa been acquired for the Magdalen near Christchurch. 2. His Eminence Cardinal Moran laid the 1 foundation stone at "Mount Msgdala” on tbe 18ch February of last year, in the presence of 5000 people, and .the first portion of the Asylum is nearly completed. 3. Tbe advantages of the Magdalen will be, extended to all New Zealand and else-' where. : 4. The waifs and the wanderers who are rescued from the paths of misery and sin are not asked to what creed they belong. ! It is sufficient that they need 'succour. 5, The inmates of “ Mount Magdala”and the Good Shepherd Nuns placed over thorn will remember always, with lively gratitude, the benefactors of the institn* lion. 6. Subscriptions may be paid either in part or in full, according to the con* venience of subscribers. ‘ 7. If, therefore, it were ever true to say I "that he gives twice who gives quickly," it is partionlarlyi so on the present occasion, in order that soon wo may see another House of tbe Good Shepherd added to, the 160 Homes scattered over the globe in which more than 4000 Rblisibubes bestow their devoted care on 20,000 Children and young girls, while a judicious channel will be opened for the outlay of the Funds entrusted to the Institution. 8. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd will be grateful to all those who encourage their friends to subscribe to tbe fundi of the Magdalen Asylum. The fever of an early response will enable me to bring to a speedy conclusion an institution from 1 which circles of good must emanate to exercise a salutory influence on the future of the Colony. SUUSOSIRTIONS will also be received by Messes A.. J. -V7BICE and H. H. LOUGUNAN s' and the E=y. Mother Prioress, Convent of the Good Shepherd, Manchester htroet North, Cheques and P.O.
