THE MAGDALEN adIIOM. A YOIOE FROM MOUNT MAGDALA AN Ai?EAL. IN appealing for subscriptions for the FIRST MAGDALEN ASYLUM in New Zealand, the Sisters of the “Good Shepherd " de-iro to express, through me, their sincere gratitude to the inhabitants of tbii City and the Colony generally for the kind oo*operation afforded them since they commenced the great work to which their lives are devoted in their temporary rcsi-. dence, Manchester Street North. Hourly wo meet with a poor Magdalen, tired of a misspent life, seeking a shelter, and finding no security against the biting tblaits of renewed temptation, turns away with the weight cf the world’s accusation, with the world’s condemnation, and becomes the victim of an unholy irapulw, which cannot be recalled without a sigh nay, without a tear, Kindly, therefore, bear in mind—1. A most desirable site has been acquired for the Magdalen near Christchurch. 2. His Eminence Cardinal Moran hid the foundation stone at “Mount MigdaU” on the 18th February of last year, in the presence of 6000 people, and tho first portion of tho Asylum is nearly completed. 3. The advantages of tho Magdalen will be extended to all Now Zealand and elsewhere. A The waifs and the wanderers who arc 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 MagdaU”and the Good Shepherd Nuns plaoscl over them will remember always, with lively gratitude, the bcncfactus of the institution. 6, Subscriptions may be paid either in part or in full, according to the convenience of subscribers. 7. If, therefore, it were ever true to say "thathe gives twice who gives quickly,” it is particularly so on ibe present occasion, in order that soon wo may see another House of the Good Shepherd added to the 150 Homes scattered over the globe in which more than 4000 its Cil&lkohbs boetow their devoted care on 20,000 Ohildrbn and young girls, while a judicious channel will bo opened for the outlay of the Funds entrusted to the Institution. 8, The Sisters of tbe Good Shepherd will be grateful to all thorn who encourage their friends to subscribe to tho funds of the Magdalen Asylum. Tho favor 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 salutary influence on tho future of the Colony. SUaSOBiaTIONS will B Uo be received by Messrs A, J. WHITE aud H. H. LOUGHNAN ; and the Rev. Mother Prioress Convent of the Good Shspherd, Manchester street North, Cheques and P.O. Orders to be made payable to me, L. M, GINATT, S.M., Mis.Jßect,, Managing Trustee. Christchurch, May, 1837.
