Appeal on behalf of the Church Army by the Chief Secretary, the Rev. E. Wilson Carlile
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to the Rev. E. Wilson Carlile, The Church Army, [address removed]
The Church Army, founded seventy-five years ago by Prebendary Carlile, grandfather of tonight's speaker, is a Society within the Church of England. The six hundred 'captains' and 'sisters' undertake a wide variety of evangelistic and social welfare work at home and overseas. More than eighty homes care for every kind of person in need, from the motherless child to the homeless widow. Last year 1,450 discharged prisoners were helped and 2,500 women and children were given a fortnight's holiday by the seaside.
Overseas work includes a community centre in Nairobi, a blind school in Tanganyika, a home for young women in South India, and a settlement for eight hundred aborigines in Australia. There must be an immediate increase in income to make good a large deficit last year and to enable the work to continue on its present scale.

4— ' The Tell-Tale Petticoat' and Produced by Martyn C. Webster
On the evening of Rachel Verinder 's birthday when, to the admiration of everyone present, she is wearing the moonstone as a brooch, the party is interrupted by the arrival of three Indians, who entertain the guests with a display of juggling. The following morning the jewel is not to be found, and the household is in an uproar. Franklin Blake urges Lady Verinder to call in the police, and later Superintendent Seegrave of the local constabulary arrives to investigate the mysterious theft of the jewel.
Soon convinced that a cleverer head is needed to solve the mystery, Franklin Blake telegraphs to his father in London, and there quickly arrives at Lady Verinder's house a man of lean and grizzled appearance with a surprising passion for roses-the celebrated detective, Sergeant Cuff.
