India itself bear eloquent witness to
her generous and prompt responsive
ness to every worthy appeal, and in
this calamity, greater than any yet
witnessed, she will unquestionably
prove herself worthy the noble record
of the past, and share in generous
measure the abundance wherewith
she has been so bountifully blessed.
HELP THEM TO HELP OTHER.
Missionaries now working in India
have been so affected by the scenes of
heartrending suffering which they
have been compelled to witness that,
though their hearts are breaking,
their tears refuse to flow. They
themselves have given all they had
and all they could borrow and now
they are daily inditing pathetic CON-
munications,and sending them broad
cast with the fervent prayer that God
would move the hearts of their more
fortunate brothers and sisters in dis
tant lands to contribute largely in
this hour Of India's direst need,
and thus help them to help those
who are looking to them for saliva
tion from impending death.
LOOKING THIS WAY.
For many years these godly men
and women have pointed the people
to the Saviour, and countless thou
sands have accepted him and have
been baptized in the Faith. Indeed,
the cause of Christ is making won
drous progress among the aense and
dusky population of India, and now
that disaster has befallen them and
death is threatening them, what
wonder that they are hoping for
help from this country whence hail
the missionaries who have told them
again and again the beautiful story
of one Jesus who went about doing
good, who fed the multitudes, and
whose followers in this prosperous
country are walking in the footsteps
of their Master, daily testing their
lives by the standard he established,
and ever asking themselves, "What
would Jesus do?"

THE era Of balloonlng, which was
inaugurated M years ago, comes
TO a triumphant conclusion, Il
would seem, Just as the era OF airship
sailing commences. The recent news
from Europe confirms this impression. On
