Dear Friends, ,This is our 22nd issue, and we are ordering 1250

copies. The Arst issue was a little two-page leaAet, and the 100 copies ordered were far more than necessary. This means that in six and a half years the number of our friends has grown from about 70 to over 1000. Therein lies our strength. The cover page of the circular which goes to you with this (if you should have received a copy already, please hand it to a friend) shows howwe have developed since we came to Melbourne. AH this, under God, is due to the support and in­terest of our friends. At present, one hand is sufficient to depict the various branches of out work If the number of our friends continues to increase, two hands will have to be utilised before very long. Such brings me to the main purport ot this letter. You are doing so much for us already. Dare I ask you to do still more? Knowing your real interest in us and our work, I think I may. I would ask each one of you to try and And at least, one more friend. I think that the majjority of you could think of someone who would be ready to pay the "friend's" subscription of 3 /- a year, which entitles them to a copy of the "Quarterly Notes" as they are issued. I do not know it people want to Aatter us, but. many have told us thHt thov value the "Notes," and that they are

can do so. I am quite honest when I say r Arst aim is not to receive the 3 /- sub-

2

scription. We want people to know of our work, for we believe that knowledge will create interest, and if people are interested they will help as they can. It would be untrue for me to say that we do not need money, for of course we do, but I would repeat that money is not the Arst considera­tion. Our aim is to touch people's hearts, and then they will give what they should give.

I hope that in my next letter I may be able to tell you of a large increase in the number of our friends. I know that you will do all you can to help in the way I have indicated.

With our thanks and all good wishes,I am, yours sincerely,

G. KENNEDY TUCKER,Superior, B.S.L.

P.S. I tear that 10 o'clock in the morning of a week-day is not the most convenient time for many of you, but we do hope that all who can will be with us at S. Cuthbert's on August 11th.

House of S* Frauds.— It was very encouraging to have such a large number of our friends with us when Mr. R. R. Scholl officially opened the House of S. Francis No. 2, which is our new hostel for youths. Within a few days of the open­ing of the establishment, every bed was occupied, and at times we have had boys sleeping on the door. It is pathetic to think of children having to sleep in the open these cold nights. A short time ago, three lads, whose ages ranged from 14 to 17, asked to be taken in. They had come from Adelaide, walking, "jumping the rattler" (hiding in goods trains), and securing lifts in motor lorries. One lad told us that his newly-acquired step-father had made it "too hot" for him at home. The others thought they would try their luck in Mel­bourne, but they had no friends to whom they could go. They were penniless, ill-clad and hungry. Someone told them of our hostel. We, of course, took them in, although they had to sleep on the floor. Two of them have since gone to a forestry camp in the country, and one is with us still. One wonders what would have become of these lads were it not for the hostel, and one wonders what is happening to other homeless and friendless boys. Another lad came to us from one of the police courts. His "home" was one of the worst slum type. His mother, who has since died, was for a long period in hospital; his father was in the country. The lad and a worthless elder brother seemed to have been left to their own devices. Needless to say, they got into trouble, and fell into the hands of the police. The younger lad was given to the care of Bro. Wilson, who took him into the hostel, and has since found him a position, in which he is doing well.

Although the hostel has been only open a few weeks, we already realise the need of extending this branch of the work. We wonder how long the community will continue to spend thousands of pounds a year on ambulances at the bottom of the cliff, when hundreds of pounds a year would maintain a fence at the top of the cliff. The com­munity spends thousands of pounds a year on gaols, reformatories and hospitals (ambulances), when huudreds of pounds a year would equip hostels for youths and unemployed men, and build cottages in the country for unemployed men with

4

famiHes (fences at the top of the cliff). When once the hostels and cottages are built, they are self-supporting. Such cannot be said in regard to the gaols, reformatories and hospitals. '

We maintain that all our work is of a preven­tative nature. Such is most certainly the case in regard to our hostel for youths.

In regard to our hostel for single unemployed men, we should like it to be known that we can nearly always provide "handy men." We have no expert gardeners, but we have a few who can be trusted to work in a garden— men who can weed a garden without pulling up choice seedlings! We are often able to provide house, men. Although we do not charge anything in the nature of a registry office fee, we would suggest that those to whom we send workers should become friends of the Brotherhood (3 /- a year).

H.S.B. Settlement.— We are still rejoicing over the result of Dr. Weigairs appeal in "Argus" for water for the Settlement. The doctor asked for €300, and he received just short of €310. Owing to the satisfactory response to the appeal, we are hoping to be able to make even better provision for water than was at first anticipated. As the dam is already completed, there is every prospect of our having the scheme completed before the summer begins.

Owing largely to the interest shown in the people and their gardens by the Settlement Committee, there has been a very marked improvement in the holdings during the last few months. We are very grateful to Dr. Weigall, who visits the Settle­ment regularly, advising and encouraging the settlers. The help thus given is specially welcome, now that the Superior has charge of a city parish, and is unable to devote as much time to the Settlement as he did previously. The Settlement never has had as much attention given to it as it has at present. One of the most encouraging parts of our work at this stage is the manner in which the various committees are relieving the members of the Brotherhood of responsibility. The increase in work has been altogether out of proportion to the increase in staff. But for the co-operation of

5

the committees, many of our activities which are now in a flourishing condition could not have been undertaken at ali.

* In our last issue we reported that the brother of one of our settlers was about to occupy a cottage recently erected. Unfortunately, the man concerned met with ap accident, and was unable to leave the city. We could not keep the cottage vacant, so another man and his family are now in occupation. We are very anxious to provide for the first ap­plicant as soon as possible. He is to have the next cottage, but, because the money required for the building of the same is not in hand, we are unable to say when, we can take him.

As the Settlement*grows, the need of something in the nature of a community hall becomes more pressing. It would be a great help if all the people could meet together from time to time for social gatherings. Such many do on Sunday night after Evensong, but the room used at headquarters is too small for the purpose, and those who, because they are not members of the Church of England, do not attend the service, do not care to join in the social gatherings. Of course, all are invited, but in most cases only church-goers respond. This means that only members of the Church of England can meet together for social purposes. This is not right, for the Settlement is for people of all creeds or no creed, and all should be able to share in what advantages we are able to supply. Such can­not be until we have a common meeting-place, where all can attend irrespective of religious differences. We should like to be able to arrange , for lectures to be given on horticultural and other such subjects, but this also cannot be until we have a hall. The Settlement Committee are very enthusiastic about this matter. May they be as successful in securing a hall as they were in secur­ing the water supply.

S. Cuthbert's, East Brunswick.— We have been much cheered by the manner in which the people of this our parish have grasped the Brotherhood ideals and are desirous of helping us in any way possible. They realise that their Vicar is not only the Vicar of the parish, but also Superior of the Brotherhood, and, as such, has many duties other than those of a parochial nature. They do not make undue demands of him. The happy co­operation between the parish and the Brotherhood augurs well for the future of both.

7

What is being done at S. Cuthbert's, East Brunswick, is about to be done in Sheffield, England, where a parish is to be worked by members of the Society of the Sacred Mission. Already a layman has given EG 000 with which to build a church. The Bishop of the diocese and the Superior of the Community are making a world­wide appeal for El 0,0 00 for the supporting of the clergy, the building of a Priory and of a church hall. It is interesting to note that the Brotherhood of S. Laurence is not the only organisation that realises that a certain type of parish can best be worked on brotherhood lines. Although we need much at S. Cuthbert's, we have, no intention of making a world-wide or even aT diocesan appeal for funds. Our Priory House is not yet completed, and, as such, is not very comfortable during this cold weather. It will have to be enlarged before the full staff joins those already at work in the parish. In addition to this, the hall* needs en­larging and repairing. In referring to our needs, we are in no way complaining, for we feel that the parish is well-nigh ideal for our purpose. It is for us to make the most of our opportunities, and to prove to those in authority that we are worthy of the trust they show in us. We feel that if we do our work faithfully, and that if the people continue to co-operate with us, all our n^eds will be forthcoming. Such we have proved to be the case in all our other activities. We have written somewhat fully on this subject, for we are very anxious that our .friends should realise the importance of our parish work, and that they should give this branch of our activities their prayerful and sympathetic support. The work in an ordinary parish does not have the same public appeal as does the work in the slums, but to the churchman one is no less important than the other.

We hope that as many of our friends as possible will be with us for our seventh Brotherhood Festival, which will be held at S. Cuthbert's at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, August 11th. Please note that it will be on the day following S. Laurence Day, and not on the festival itself. His Grace the Archbishop, with his usual readiness to help, has kindiy promised to preside and preach at the Eucharist. The good folk of the parish have under-

$

taken to provide breakfast for all after the service. S. Cuthbert's can best be reached from the city by the East Brunswick 'bus, which starts from the corner of Flinders and Elizabeth Streets. The 'bus stops at the church, which is on the corner of Glenlyon Road and Nicholson Street.

FINANCE.

The question is often asked— Is there anyone who advises the Brotherhood as to business methods and finance generally?

In the early stages of the work, the whole burden of this fell on the Superior, who sought advice from time to time from various sources, and the books and accounts were kept by the late Father Cox.

As the several phases of the work developed, it became apparent that more attention to the finan­cial side was necessary, and a Finance Committee was appointed from the Advisory Council, and an accountant (Mr. R. C. Backholer) undertook to keep the books and prepare monthly statements for the committee free of charge.

At the beginning of this year a budget, based on previous records, was prepared by the ac­countant and adopted by the Finance Committee, setting out the regular receipts and the certain expenditure on a monthly and yearly basis, and all proposed expenditure is considered in the light -of this budget.

The foundation of all the work is the service rendered by members of the Brotherhood, who, in addition to their very frugal board, receive allow­ances of from 10/- to 15/- per week to live upon.

At the men's hostel at Fitzroy we have a paid cook for the 50 to 60 men and boys, and at Carrum Downs we have a paid carpenter and handyman, who attends to the repairs and additions to houses, fences, gates, sheds, etc. These two are the only persons who receive anything that can be called wages.

The receipts from the men and boys at the hostels cover approximately the cost of their food,

9

the cook's wages, and a small rental for the hostel. The rents from the cottages at Carrum Downs meet interest on the cost of the property.

The Finance Committee realise that the whole, scheme is dependent upon the religious atmosphere created and service rendered by the members of the Brotherhood, and so it is necessary to train new members to Rll the places of the brothers who move on or retire for one reason or another.

We therefore appeal to friends to supply funds lor—

CR) Upkeep and allowances for the Brotherhood.(b) Transport facilities to enable the Superior

and members of the Brotherhood to keep in touch with the Hostels and the Settlement, and to collect gifts, etc.

(c) Repairs to properties, and renewals of crockery, blankets and furnishings at the hostels.

(d) Extensions of the work.

AC present we arc responsible for the welfare of an average of about 100 people, and, to effec­tively carry on the work, we require a sum of ,Et per head per month.

Experience has shown, us that the best method of interesting new friends is to get them to visit one or other of the activities and see for them­selves what is being done.

Let those of us who have our business to attend to (or draw proRts from) remember that the mem­bers of the Brotherhood have no business other than the service they render in this cause, and no possibility of proRt Rnancially.

The spirit of unselRshness and service is worth encouraging, and all those who are privileged to spend some of their spare time or money in helping in this work are themselves helped to develop that spirit of unselRshness and service which alone can save our civilisation from the perils with which it is threatened on all sides.— Alex. L. Wettenhall, Chairman, Finance Committee, B.S.L.

HKOTHKItpOOD NOTES.

We are always saying that one of the reasons why the Church has lost touch with so many of her people is due to the fact that she is very much understaffed. The Rev. A. R. Holmes is reported to have stated recently in the Newcastle Synod that when the population of Newcastle was 4 0,000, there were sixteen clergy at work; yet to­day, when the population is 120,000, the number of clergy is only seventeen. We believe that this state of affairs applies to most of the large centres in the Commonwealth. No wonder the Bishop of Wangaratta says that "Religion itself may have to Rght for its existence before long." One of the objects of the Brotherhood is to make some con­tribution towards the making up of the very serious shortage of clergy.

* * * * *The Organiser, Miss Joan Bagot, of our Stamp

Department is very grateful to all who have sent her stamps. It is better that stamps should not be taken off the paper before sending them in. A good margin of paper should be left. Space does not allow us to mention by name ail who have helped in this direction.

The following have kindly undertaken to collect stamps in their district and forward them to Miss Bagot: —

Miss Lambert, 9 Second Street, Black Rock, S.9. (Tel. XW 2582).

Miss Olive Bagot, Mona Place. South Yarra, S.E.l. (Tel. XW 2582).

Mrs. Ray McGowan, 38 Nicholson Street, North Fitzroy.

We are anxious to form new Auxiliaries. Would any lady in the suburbs or in the country ask a few friends to her house and allow the Superior to address the meeting? We do not like to push ourselves forward, but the need of our people is so great, and there is so much work waiting to be done. We promise not to "badger" people for money, but we do want their interest.

11

We have had a large box of groceries from the girls of Firbank School, Brighton. Such are very acceptable for our ever-growing family. We much appreciate the girls' continued interest in our work.
