CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDIA.
By Editor
HOW NATURAL it is to be moved by the things close at hand. With the natural heart it is me and mine, my town, my city, my country. And this is well. But the Christian heart goes out to all the world. Not the Jews and their needs alone stirred the heart of Jesus; "other sheep I have which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring." He labored and longed that His own nation should help Him in reaching the world. Paul the Jew, who had imbibed the same spirit, said, "I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish." Even so the great Christian heart of to-day goes out beyond its own home and land to the millions in the darkness of error and superstition. It throbs in sympathy with the starving in Japan or China, with the poor child widows and caste-enslaved Aryans of India. And so, dear reader, we can not, even amid the earthquake and fire sufferers of the Pacific Coast, forget the needs of our India mission in the hill country, which has been proposed by Prof. J. L. Shaw, a mission in the center of millions needing the Gospel of Christ, a recruiting station to which those in the deadly, miasma-laden lowlands can resort and find rest and vigor while they labor among the hill tribes in the life-giving atmosphere of the lower Himalayas. This we must not forget, and we know that there are hundreds among our readers who will be glad to give. Thus far the following has been received: Reported in our issue of April 18: $2,022.05
