The Timely Assistance Rendered by the
Home Missionary Society Food and
Clothing Badly Needed - The
situation as Portrayed bya
Minister OF the Gospel.

BosToN, Jan. S.--The circle OF suffer
ing in parts of the west is widening.
1t includes the Cherokee strip in Okla
homa, which was opened for settlement
year ago. The country is emphatic
ally new The missionaries of the Con-
gregational Home Missionary society,
in forwarding special correspondence
relating to the situation, state there is
special need of clothing. With the ther-
mometer below zero there were thir-
teen men at religious service who
wore no ovcrcoats and were known not
to own any Some of the women were
without wraps Of any kind. A mother
and daughter alternately wear the
same pair of shoes. Women have been
found barefooted at home, not posses
sing any kind of shoes. One home mis-
sionary writes as follows:
II have no means whatever We
have no members who are able to do
anything. Out of my limited amount
of $125 per quarter have divided with
two or three of our families to keep
them from absolute suffering. But |
cannot do anything more. ] think the
strip, which is only year old, will be
in a much better condition in another
year, as they will raise considerable
crops There will be seed crops OF
course, but that will not help. A meet
ing has been held to petition congress
for help, but we can't wait for congress
sional action. ~
The home missionary society has al
ready forward.t clothing to these suf-
ferers, and will gladly be the almoner
of the public in so doing.
The society is in receipt of additional
special correspondence relating to suf-
fering and the needs of the people in
portions of Nebraska. Rev. rs FySmith,
of Sargent, Neb,, writes as follows:

ciety, do not know what would have
become of us thus far. For two years
the people have plowed and sown and
received nothing, or comparatively
nothing. I find it but little use to tell
