Chinese Famine Fund.

By Editor

WE have not felt especially called upon to make great appeals for this fund because there were so many other papers thruout the country doing it, especially the Christian Herald of New York. It has been putting forth extraordinary efforts for the relief of China, and has sent many thousands of dollars. Presumably many who have seen notices of it in the SIGNS have sent thru that channel. Some, however, has been forwarded to us, and we have sent it on as it has come. Up to March 31, $47.53 has been sent. Since that time, up to and including April 30, we have received the following:

Previously reported $47.53 | L. Chas Tamm ... 5.00 F. W. Gotterke, .. 5.00 | Castana, Iowa ... 5.00 Lily B. Sterling .. .10 | W. M. McCarty... 5.80 Mrs. B. K. Carr .. 1.77 | A. L.

There are still coming from time to time small amounts on the Japanese Famine Fund, which we ourselves closed months ago, stating previous to the time of closing that whatever funds might be received later would be forwarded to our superintendent of missions in Japan, Mr. Field, for him to make such disposition of as would be in harmony with the requests of the donors. We would say again that whatever funds are received on the Japanese Fund, the famine of which long ago ceased, will be forwarded to the mission in Japan. But Russia and China are still suffering, and suffering greatly, and to those who wish to contribute thru the SIGNS OF THE TIMES to these great fields we shall be glad to forward it. However, if it is desired on the part of the donors to send it thru other channels, that will be just as satisfactory to us. The needs of the souls in these fields is as great or greater than those of their bodies. May God bless those whose hearts go out in sympathy for the needy in other lands.
