The executive officers OF the American
Board OF Foreign Missions state trst
while the hearts of muititudcs have been
touched by the accounts of the myriaus
OF peopls who ere suffIrlng by famine

contributed in the United States for their
relief. One reason for this is said to be
the feeling that Great Britain Ia response
bic for her own subjects In India, and
that she has the means aud facilities for
providing for them. Though there Is ad :
mitted to bs measure OF truth in this,
Americans have been sppesled to be for
help and they cannot entirely close their
hearts TO the arpsal which cones from
the stricken people. Moreover there is
one class OF sufferers in India which the
United States ought specially help-those
whom American missi onaries have led 10
