An appeal on behalf of ST. MARTIN'S SUMMER HOLIDAY FUND, by The Rev. H. R. L. SHEPPARD , C.H., D.D. Relayed from St. Martin-in-the-Fields
For many years the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields has broadcast an appeal for funds to assist those who otherwise would not have a holiday. The response has always been most generous.
The Fund is not confined to the parishioners of St. Martin's, but is distributed all over the kingdom by the Vicar through friends of his who know personally those who are being helped. The many letters received show the happiness that has been given the recipients, and how grateful they are to all who have sent donations.
No charges are deducted from the Fund for its administration, for they are paid from another source, so that every penny that is sent goes direct to the purpose for which it was intended. Voluntary workers come daily to the offices of St. Martin to attend to the correspondence, and every gift is sent out personally by the Vicar.
Contributions will be gratefully received by [address removed]
