HOLIDAYS FOR POOR CLERGY.
May we again ask for the support of your readers on behalf of the London Poor Clergy Holiday Fund, which not only assists clergy in the London diocese, but also makes block grants to South London (Diocese of Southwark) and to " London-over-the-Border " (Diocese of CheLmsford) ? In spite of all the efforts which have been made to give relief to the poorer clergy, the cost of living still makes their lot a hard one. The recent Dilapidations and Pensions Acts, moreover, involve a considerable curtailment in income. We have to depend upon this annual appeal to make good the losses in the list of our old supporters. Donations, which will be gratefully acknowledged, may be sent to the Hon Treasurer, the Rev. Prebendary G. H. Vincent, St. Martin's Church, Ludgate Hill, E.C. 4, or to Westminster Bank, 5 St. Paul's Churchyard, E.C. 4.—ERNEST N. SHARPE, Archdeacon of London ; F. N. THICKNESSE, Archdeacon of Middlesex'; C. E. LAMBERT, Archdeacon of Hampstead.
