Dying in China

By Editor

Dying in China.—It is estimated that from one million to two million persons will die of famine and exposure before they can be helped; but this is on the supposition that millions will be helped by those whose hearts are touched. It is thought that thirty cash, two and three fourths cents of our money, will keep a person a day. Dr. Selmon suggests sixty cash, or five and one half cents a day. How many are there who wish to donate enough to keep one person for 150 days at five cents a day? How many half that sum? or one fourth? or any amount? Read Dr. Selmon's article on pages 14 and 15, and then act as your conscience dictates. We will credit and forward all donations sent us. There are many who spend from 25 cents to 60 cents a meal, from 75 cents to $1.50 a day, who could live just as healthfully on one half that amount, and would be greatly blessed in giving the rest to the starving fathers, mothers, and children of China.
