From the Other Side of the Pacific

By Editor

UNDER date of July 14, the treasurer of our Chinese Mission sends us the following: "Received of Dr. A. C. Selmon [to whom we forwarded the money] sixty-four pounds eight shillings sterling on account of Famine Relief. W. E. Gillis, Treasurer." The above is for our fourth remittance. Up to date we have forwarded $857.73.

Dr. Selmon writes: "In a former letter I mentioned to you [see our issue of June 27, page 16] the use to which we would put some of this fund, and our brethren in Anhuei have already secured some property on this plan. They all feel that this will be a great blessing to them in the years to come, because famines are a common occurrence in that part of the country, and they can expect one almost every year, almost with certainty.

"On behalf of those whom this fund will help here in this field, I wish to thank the readers of the SIGNS."

Dr. Selmon sends us this encouraging item:

"We have been very thankful to have cool weather thus far in July; it is an unusual thing for China. Brethren Gillis, Roberts, and families, together with Mrs. B. Miller and my family, are staying by the work, and we have gotten along very nicely so far. All are of good courage, for we continually hear reports of progress from the different parts of the field."

For this we are glad. May our great wise, kind Father keep them all.
