We are asked to remind our readers that an exhibition

of pictures is to be opened at Easter at the St. Jude's Schools, Commercial Street, Whitechapel, by the Rev. S. A. Barnett, at which crowds of the poor at the East End will be delighted to gaze. It is the very best of the pictures at the disposal of the rich which not only give the poor most pleasure, but which really open their minds most effectually to the sense of beauty and reverence. It should be regarded as a pare privilege for those who possess good pictures to lend them for the delight and admiration of those who have but seldom had the opportunity of seeing them ; and we hope with all our hearts that Mr. Barnett's appeal for loans will meet with even more than the usual measure of success. The pictures will be wanted on Friday, March 16th, and they will be returned on Monday, April 9th. Offers should be sent to H. Kemp Welch, Esq., 52 Leadenhall Street, E.C.
