p . ' M1WT81W APPEAL FOR THE BENEFIT OF STARVINU INDIA. ^cficKeme Whereby Fund* rviay dc Contributed ao the Pamine Stricken Sufferers. Fifty mi!lwt>c! Can realire it? Anil yet this l umber of immortal doings are in various stages of starvation, awl live ins lit on??f these same beings are now at death's door in famine stricken Iudiiu Dr. TaImage, i !i the Christian Herald, has made a pathetic appeal to Americans for these same dying j>eople. Shall we 'i urn a deaf ear to that kud call? ^cnMorbid! The most pitiful and heart-rending cry for bread that has rver escaped human lips or reached mortal ears comes ironi this famine stricken conntrv. Since tlie world began that we have nuv account of the greatest catastrophe is now being enacted, and nsleet? help speedily comes to India's relief fully ten mil.lious of men, women and children must die before the next crop is har vested. Three months ago the government placed the number of starving sufferers at thirty millions; today the number has almost doubled. Fire millions of these people are employed by the government at wages .uarairinir r>r>l>tc y <IhV '""-^'"8 - J 7 while theremamiug must be relieved by private-charity or yield to starvation's edict. Kngland is doing what she can for their relief, but she is unequal to the task: aud America, with her overflowing, butsting grauaeries, must speedily come to the rescue or these millions will perish from the very lack of what we enjoy in superabundance. May we share Ju generous measure the abundance wherewith we have beeu so bountifully blessed. We are told that our imissionaries now working in India have been so affected bv tbe scenes of heart-rending suffering which they have been compelled to witness, that - 1 'though their hearts are ureaKing -down with grief at this sad sight, their tears refuse to flow. They 'themselves hare given all they had and all they could borrow, and now they are daily inditing petitions and sending them broadcast with the fervent prayer that God will move the hearts of their more fortunate brethren in distant lands to contribute largely in this hour of India's direst need, and thus help them to help those who are looking to them for salvation and impending death. The cause of Chaist is making won drous progress among the dense and 'dusky population of India, and now that ilica9ter has befallen them, and .death i9 threatening them, what wonder that they are hoping for help from this country whence hai! the missionaries, who have told them over and over again the beautiful .story of their Saviour, who w*uit about doing good. Shall these peo* .pie look in vain? Will we disappoint them? Shall we so a:t as t? make them believe that our religion is vain and a mere profession? Shall we shut up the bowels of our compassion and tell them by our withholding that American money and American bread are tor Americans only that religion is one thing and (liarity is quite another? Or shall we open up our hearts, our hand*, our purses, and in the name of cur Master, whom wi serve, bid them share with us the bounties of ourj "Heavenly Father's goodness? Two vents a day will support a life. One collar will keep a man, woman or -child alive two months and save them ; J ruin starvation. Ten dollars will | k save tive lives for four months. Are you after a goodly heritage? J)o jouwisha safe investment? Then for God's sake invest in human lives. "He that hath pity upon the poor Jendeth unto the Lord.und that which jie hath given will He pay him >gain." I et every one who reads lb.* j e;tl juAa' jLin jouftjueut, and loud unto the Lord all be or she 11 can possibly spare, anil in due time11 lie will repay all that we have lent Him. All may help iu this paying i work of charity. Every contribti-l tion will be acknowledged in the!' - . ,1 Christian Herald: each name auu amount recorded and reported by the Christian Herald in the columns of our county paper. Let every soul, eTery home, every church, every Sunday school be represented^ let j each one vie with the other in hastening to the rescue of these unfor tanate people. This is the greatest opportunity of your life to save a ; human being from starvation. Would j you help a starving mother, or sis- i teror brother? Then here is your chance. Help, or God's curse may be upon yon. lie that sitteth :ti the heavens is watebing us. His eye is ever upon us. What we do let us do it it* unto Him, and he that set-tin in secret aud rewardeth truly will bless us with an everlasting blessing, j Don't delay! 1 will select Monday, the lGth inst, as a day to take impressions for any number of sets of teeth at half price, and I will give one-half the proceeds of that day's work to this worthy cause; provided each person applying will contribute at least 50 cents. If no one accepts this proposition I will give $5 any way. Who comes next? All amounts with names of donors ' will be reported in the Christian | Herald, aud such report will be copied and reported by the editor of our county paper.
