The Annual Treat to Lepers

WE invite the urgent attention of our readers to the customary appeal for an annual treat to the Lepers of the Tarn Taran Asylum which the devoted honorary superintendant, Rev. E. Guilford makes in our columns. The appeal is a call of humanity and fellow feeling and should strongly appeal to the noblest instincts of the public irrespective of colour, caste or creed. It is something that, thanks to the kindly interest of Rev. Guilford and the appeals he has been issuing, has been possible in previous years to introduce a ray of sunshine in the life of the inmates of the asylum and it would be cruel to deprive them of the customary treat in the ensuing Christmas, whatever the other calls-and they are, indeed, many-on the pockets of those who are endowed with the good things of the world.
