Help Appreciated

The following words of appreciation from Elder J. L. Shaw, superintendent of the India Mission Field, show how the help furnished by the $300,000 Fund is regarded:—

We very much appreciate the remittances which we have received from the $300,000 Fund. We have been able to pay back the money borrowed from Brother J. S. James for a church and school building at Tinnevelli. We have also provided a bungalow for our missionary in East Bengal, with a place for a church and one or two houses for native people to live in. We have now obtained the deed for land granted to us for mission purposes at Karmatar, and Elder W. R. French and Brother Leech are now drawing up plans for the building. In Garhwal, Brother L. J. Burgess is getting on with the buildings in that station. He already had a small house to live in and a small dormitory for his native boys. They have been carrying on school work there in a straw shed, but they are now able to go ahead with their building. Brother Burgess has already sent in his plan. These are some of the ways in which the money from the $300,000 Fund is being used. The brethren are endeavoring to make every rupee go as far as possible.
