Sick Furlough for the Lairds

LATE word from China informs the Mission Board that the Chinese Mission Committee has voted sick furlough to Brother and Sister P. J. Laird, of Chang-sha, Hunan. For some time these missionaries have worked beyond their endurance in an endeavor to obtain a foot-hold in this difficult interior province of Hunan; but their experiences in connection with the recent riots in Chang-sha, in which they barely escaped with their lives, have been too much for them, and both have since been ill. Let these workers be remembered in prayer.
