A YOIOE PROM MOUNT MAQDALA AN APPEAL. IN appealing for subscriptions for the FIRST MAGDALEN ASYLUM in New Zealand, the Sisters of the “Good Shepherd ’’ desire to express, through me, their linoere gratitude to the inhabitants of this Oity and the Colony generally for the kind co-operation afforded them since they commenced the great work to which their lives are devoted in their temporary residence, Manchester Street North, Hourly we meet with a poor Magdalen, tired of a misspent life, seeking a shelter, and finding no security against the. biting tblasta of renewed temptation, turns away I with the weight of the world’s accusation, with the world’s condemnation, and becomes the victim of an unholy impulse, which cannot be recalled without a sigh nay. without a tear, . Kindly, therefore, boar in mind—1. A most desirable site has been acquired for the Magdalen near Christchurch. 2. His Eminence Cardinal Moran laid the foundation-stone at “Mount MagdaU” on the 18th February of last year, in the presence of 6000 people, and the first portion of the Asylum is nearly completed. 3. The advantages of the Magdalen will be extended to all New Zealand and elsewhere. . 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 MagdaW’and the Good Shepherd Nuns placed over them will remember always, with lively gratitude, the benefactors of the institution. 6. Subscriptions may bo paid either in part or in full, according to the convenience of subscribers. 7, If, therefore, it were ever trne to say “that he gives twice who gives quickly,” it is particularly so on the present occasion, in order that soon we may see another House of the Good Shepherd added to the 160 Homes scattered over the globe in which more than 4000 Rbuqibusbb bestow their devoted care on 20,000 Ohiidrbn 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 the funds of the Magdalen Asylum. The faver of an early response will enable me to bring to a speedy conclusion an institution from which circles of good must emanate to exercise a saintly influence on the future of the Colony. SUuSOHIRTIONS will also be received by Mebsbs A. J. WHITE and H. H. LOUGHNAN ; and the Bey. Mother Prioress Convent of the Good Shepherd, Manchester street North, Cheques and P.O. Orders to be made payable to me, L. M. QINAIY, 8. M., Mis. Bet*., Managing Trustee, Christchurch, May, 1887. 1
