The indian Famine.

Sin,--More to the point than nnythingl

could write is the enclosed Appeal written by one who is in the midst of the awful need caused by the famine in Rajputaiin. It is awful to think of -10,000,000 affected by it, but still more awful to realise there are more people in India to-day absolutely dependent upon charity-given either through the Govern- ment in the shape of Relief W'orks or through the Missions-than the whole population of Canada. ._

it APPEAL I-‘OR THE STARVING.

Dunn FRIEND, '

By furthe worst famincthut has occurred during British rule is upon us. Govern- ment reports, which are usually reliable, state that the aiiected area contains forty million Starving people, While twenty-one millions are in sore distress because of the famine prices which prevail. Over four and ahalf inillion people are now employed on Government relief works. Subtracting, you will`rea.lize what a small per cent, is thus relieved. Government is doing all it can. It is doing noblyl Yet there is ample room for private benevol- ence.

Raiputana, comprised of sixteen States,

ruled by Rajahs or Native Princes, and containing a population of twelve millions, is' one of the worst stricken areas.

" Hundreds have already died of hunger,

thirst and disease. Thousands of home- less, naked, and starving ones wander about from village to village in search of work, water and food.

Conditionsare growing steadily worse. Horrible stories come to us from eye witnesses-Government Officials, Mis- sionaries, Railway Employees and Natives -of bodies by the wayside being devoured by vultures, jackals and dogs. Heart- rending cases have come under my own observation. No pen can exaggerate the suffering. Families separate to seek food never to meet again. Children are beaten and turned from their homes. Wives are thrust out with two or three children clinging to them. The aged. the crippled and the blindare left by t-he roadside to die.Hundreds of orphans,forsa.ken by their relatives, wander about begging and picking up anything they can find to eat. The grain market is thronged with these human birds, picking out of the dirt every grain that falls, and even gathering manure to wash from it the undigested grams. ,

Orphans brought to us as the famine

increases are more and more emaciated. A child was brought tous who had lain sick and naked for eight days, without a morsel of food. She looked more like an animal than a human being. Care and nourishment have wrought a wondrous change in her.

Yesterday a boy thirteen years ofage.

was brought to our verandah just as he was gasping his last. The emaciated body, sunken cheeks, and hollow eyes told the sad tale of starvation. A few minutes afterwards two more boys came up, and if you could only have heard the pitifulmy of those two brothers, as they gazed upcm the face of the dying lad whom they had lost in their wandering-s andhad not seen for15days._ "Have we found you only to look into your dead face,” they Lwailed. Mother and father had succumbed tohunmenand these three brothers had fer a ti-me tried to keep together, but in their quest for food were separated.

Last night I found a littleboy nearly

four years of age sitting at the door of the -Railway Station. He looireéup into my face in such a hopelessway and said, “Meta koi nahin hai.” (I hav’nt .got any one.) I stooped down and said, “Have you no mother or fatheri” “No, my mother died of hunger, and my father went oft'_and left me" was the reply, with the reiteration, “I hav’nt got anyone.” “Will you come with me T' I asked. You should have seen with what alacrity he jumped up, and the smile that illumined his dirty face._ Friends, you would not have had me leave him to perish l 1

This morning a. Bible-reader brought

twenty-seven starving widows and _children to us. As they came along they saw a young girl lying dead by the roadside. No doubt as to the cause of death. Starvation written in every feature. ‘And the twenty-seven-naked, covered with vermin, filth and sores. Would you have had me say, “I cannot _take you," and turn them away todie? No, no, no! a tholisand times no! What if your own were starving? God forbid that such should ever bethe case. Most of these are of high caste, and were once well-to-do and happy. God_ has used us to rescue 094 widows

and orphans. All glory be to God. He has supplied our needs, and we intend tn do what little we can while this dread famine lasts.

I nm glad to hear Canada is taking up

the cause of Ind-iafwe are one in spite of ditferenceiof race, climate and religion. Notwithstanding all the .Indian Govern; ment is doing to alleviate suffering' and provide for the needy there _is room for those who wish to say how and where tneir money is togo. I um sure if any one sees his way to supporting one of those rescued orphans for a year at $~l5.lD or one of these widows at ,$20.00 Miss Marks will gladly receive it and apportion it to some one individual. The money can be sent direct a‘s sterling money orders are procurahlc in ull large centres. The women and girls rescued are saved from a lot worse. than death-that of the woman of the street--only too often the brothel door is the only door open to starving women in India. _

A Chance for Missionary.

, il i v »

In an address before the Missionary

Congress in New York the Rev. Dr. Jphn

,G. Paton said: “My great object in com-

ing to America at this time was tio# plead for the prohibition of the rum- traffic to the New Hebrides. When God enabled me to go to the South Sea Islands forty- tvvo years ago the natives were killing 4' one another and eating one another’s flesh, and yet 18,(ll) out of over 40,000 have been converted to Christianity, and every con- vert becomes a missionary. The great ditllcnlty in spreadingthe work is the ir.- troduction of rum, sent into the islands by an American trader. Great Britian has prohibited all her traders in the is- lands fromtrading in rum and ammuni- tion, and I am here in this country to ask the .government to place American traders under the same prohibition.

‘°I went to Washington and had an in-

terview with the President and the Secre- tary of State and laid this question before- t-hem. They agreed toconsider it and do' what they could, but now I have received a letter from the Assistant Secretary of

petition without a special act of Congress making it a misdemeanor for American citizens in the islands to sell. intoxicating drinks or firearms. Why can’t Christian America have such legishtionf Surely in this Christian countryyon owe it to your- selves to free your land from the awful stain that nets upon lit by your continu- ance of the traic whereby so many lives are lost." _ __ _ _ , _ _ _ re
