An Appeal From Sumatra
By R. W. Munson
THE first man I baptized four years ago in September is failing in health, and will leave seven full orphan children—two girls of twenty and fifteen, and five boys ranging from three to about thirteen or fourteen years. If we do not care for these children, they will20be scattered in the families of heathen relatives, where they will be treated like slaves, and brought up as heathen. I do not think the Lord wants this to happen, and so I am asking any one who feels moved to contribute something to the support of the children, to send me, through the Mission Board, three dollars a month for the boys, or five dollars for the girls. Perhaps a church or individual can support one child, or two or three churches or individuals could unite. It is a pitiful case that appeals strongly to our hearts.
