The reports of suffering caused by the
cold anG famine in Silesia are truly
heartrending. We read Of parents all
but naked in wretched empty rooms for
lorn of fire, the corpses of their children,
victims of typhus, lying uncovered on
the floor, with no means left to them Of
obtaining the rulest coffin for the dead or
the coarsest morscl Of food for tho living.
We hear of women, driven to despair,
lying down deliberately in the snow to
die, in order to put an end to their intcl-
cradle misery. The other day whole
tribe of gypsies was found frozen to death
in a wood, in Upper Siiesia. Men, wo-
men and children had huddled close to-
gether in the snow, hoping to keep the
vital spark alive By common contigui'y,
but they were all frozen stiff and stark
and covered by several inches Of snow
when discovered Hundreds of other
cases equally distressing are reported.

PARENTS in some parts of Turk

PARENTS in some parts of Turkey
arc said to be selling their children to OBJ
tain food, so distressing has the famine
become. Just who buys the little ones,
or what use they are put to, the dispatch
es, very considerably, leave us to guess.
Who can account for 30 much genuine
misery in the world? To thousands Of
poor it comes through no fault Of theirs.
And on tie other hand, thousands are
born TO affiuence and leisure, and hence
possess them by no inherent virtue. Tis
an uneven world at best. What blessed
boon to the poor and weary are the bright
dreams of immortality. They may
dream OF sweet flowers, and singing birds,
and babbling brooks, and elyslan fields
and leisure hours, in the life to come, and
thus tighten the weary hours Of toll. As
long as religion does this it would be val
liable, even if it brought nothing more.
