Our India Mountain Mission Home.

LAST year the SIGNS undertook, in connection with Prof. J. L. Shaw, the superintendent of missions in India, to raise enough to purchase a home in the foothills of the Himalayas. The vast population of India is more in the lowlands, and there is where most of our workers have been in the Indian field. The climate is fearful, very humid and very hot. In many cases missionaries of all denominations have failed in health, and such was the case with some of our own. A mountain mission home up in the clearer, salubrious climate of the higher elevation, surrounded by a thickly settled country, was certainly that which appealed to the hearts as well as to the good common-sense of Christians. We therefore asked that donations be forwarded to us for that purpose. It was thought at that time that $7,000 would meet the need. A fine establishment was found, sold at a greatly reduced rate, for $8,000. The amount was raised, some in money coming thru the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and other going direct to the Foreign Mission Board. That which has come to the SIGNS to the present time is $4,475.44. Up to March 1, $1,000 was wanted in order that the home might be dedicated free from debt. We asked our readers to furnish this. We reported September 1, $873.51. The donations for September amounted to $360.43, making a total of $1,233.94. This all has been forwarded to India for the Mountain Mission Home. Any donations that may come in afterward will be placed to the disposal of Professor Shaw, who will use it as the great, needy field demands. The names not previously recorded are as follows:
