Christmas Music including
Appeal on behalf of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Fund, by the Rev. L. M. Charles-Edwards
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to the Rev. L. M. Charles-Edwards [address removed]
St. Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Appeal was inaugurated by Dick Sheppard when he was Vicar. It is an appeal, not for St. Martin's but by St. Martin's, for the many people all over the British Isles who because of illness or bad luck are in need but would never ask for help to make Christmas happier for themselves or their children. Contributions to this appeal are distributed throughout the country by those whose work brings them in touch with people such as these.
