THE CLERGY REST HOUSE AT MERROW [To the Editor of
the SPECTATOR.]
Stn,—You have on several occasions been good enough to publish an appeal made by me on behalf of the Clergy Rest House at Merrow where some of the poorer clergy and their wives, who cannot afford to go to the seaside, find a change and the rest they so badly need.
There is no endowment and the £500 required for upkeep is provided entirely by voluntary contributions. It had been practically decided to shut down last year owing to lack of sufficient support but a legacy, which cannot be expected again, made it possible to keep going, and as a result 193 guests were welcomed. May I, in the name of the com- mittee, ask for help ? The needs of the clergy are, as a rule, not made known and so are often forgotten.
Cheques will be gratefully acknowledged if sent to the Hon. Secretary, Miss B. Kingsford, The Clergy Rest, Merrow,
