An Appeal on behalf of THE CHURCH OF THE REDEMPTION, New Delhi, by Her Excellency the COUNTESS OF WILLINGDON, C.I., G.B.E.
This evening Lady Willingdon, the wife of the Viceroy of India, is to broadcast an appeal on behalf of the Church of the Redemption in New Delhi, the Indian capital. The total sum required was £7,500, of which about a quarter has been raised in India.
An appeal was made through the Press in England last February, but after arrangements had been made, news came of the terrible earthquake in Bihar, and the appeal which was made for the relief of the distress caused by the earthquake very naturally eclipsed that for the church at New Delhi.
It has now been decided to renew the appeal and to take advantage of the presence in England of Lady Willingdon to get her to broadcast in this country on behalf of a cause which she has so much at heart. The church is in daily use, but the tower is still unbuilt; certain improvements in the interior are urgently required and a Parsonage House is needed.
