China Press Building Appeal
By Editor
We would advise our readers that it does not seem best to the editors to do more at the present time for famine in China. The souls who are dying for the need of the Bread of life cry with a far louder voice than do those who have been suffering for the want of the common necessities; and in fact we understand that most, if not all, of those are at present relieved. In large territories crops which are now being harvested will relieve the most of the sufferers. But the great religious field is always in need, always appealing to the sympathy of those who wish to see souls benefited not only in this life but in the life to come. We feel especially burdened for our new press building in China. Our workers there are patiently, earnestly, faithfully, diligently working under extreme insanitary conditions. It is the best they have, and they are meeting it with uncomplaining, Christian fortitude. We sincerely hope they will not have to pass another summer in the hot, humid Chinese alleys of Shanghai. Ground has been purchased, but money is still needed for the building, which we hope will soon be in process of erection. We will give list of donors to other funds next week.
