These receipts are up to March 21, 1906. As all the letters do not come to this department, without extra trouble, the editor will receipt them as above.

A word of explanation: The advertising department have, through misunderstanding, accepted a full-page advertisement from the Christian Herald, appealing for funds for relief in north Japan. The advertisers wanted the last-page position, which we could not grant. In fact, our refusal covered the entire paper. The advertisers understood that it referred to last page only, and so forwarded by express their electro. It was our preference to make our appeal free.

Now to the donors: Those who respond to our appeal, apart from the advertisement, please send the amounts direct to us, designated "For Japan Famine Fund." Whoever responds to the advertisement, remit as the advertisement directs.

Japan's need is great. Many have already perished of starvation. Thousands are eating anything which promises to keep soul and body together. A little from the plenty of other nations will help Japan's starving ones to tide over the two months or more before relief can come.
