Our India Mission.

By Editor

WE earnestly hope that our readers will not forget our Mountain Mission Home in India. One thousand dollars is needed to completely pay for it. A little from each of many, and it is done. Thus far four noble workers have died in India. A score have had to abandon the field. Down in the awful heat of the river plains the heat is intense for a greater part of the year, the mercury rarely falling below 90 deg. day or night, and climbing as high as 140 deg. It is simply insufferable, and malaria abounds in many places. At the Mountain Home in the foothills of the Himalayas, the climate is bracing. There are multitudes of people in the vicinity to keep busy the workers who leave the hot lowlands for a brief vacation; and here also native workers, who can endure the awful heat will be trained for labor. This cool mountain home will provide a place of retreat, and new opportunities of refreshing work when the vital forces are low. A home has been purchased, but there is lacking $1,000 to pay for it. Do you not want a share in the last payment? Let the next three weeks see every cent of it raised so that our brethren there may dedicate free from all indebtedness. Give and give quickly. Send your donations for the India Mountain Mission to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Mountain View, Cal.
