TWO VIEWS OF 1T.

The Christian Herald has issued a
pamphlet. appealing for aid for the fam
inc sufferers in India. As fort of supple.
meut to the pamphlet, it sends out the fol-
lowing:
The half has not been told in the en-
closed pamphlet Our courage has failed
US to present all the shocking details
Every time the clock strikes the hour 1t
tolls the death knell Of at least Ave hun
dred victims in India who have died for
the want Of a crust. The cable is quick
and your contribution today may save
scores. hundreds. yes thousands OF lives
tomorrow.
How many lives will you slv"'
Two cents day will support one life.
Zone dollar will save a life for two
months.
Two dollars will save life until the
harvest.
Five dollars will save man. wife and
child until the next crop is gathered
Ten dollars will save whole family
Twenty dollars will save ten lives for
four months.
Twenty-Five dollars will save them and
afford them the comfort OF blankets during
the rainy and cold season.
Fifty dollars would save FIVE familie
"One hundred dollars would save a
small community
The Philadelphia North American. Mr..
John Wanamaker's paper. commenting on
the foregoing. says:
God forbid that we should do anything
to check for one instant the flow Of Ameri-
can benevolence toward tortured people
betrayed in their desperate need by their
rightful protectors. But il is impossible
to read this appeal without rejecting on
the responsibilities OF those who have
made il necessary.
India is part of the British empire.
The British government is spending $500,
600, 600 to subjugate little group Of farm
ers Just outside of its dominions while It's
own subjects are dying by millions for
lack Of the assistance which it is amply
able to furnish. Turning the Christian
Heralds table into another shape we may
say: -,
one life
zone six-pounder she'll will save life
until the harvest
zone twelve-pounder will save FIVE lives.
Zone plir Of cavalry boots will save a
man. wife and child until the next crop is
zone minutes discharge Of Maxim
gun will save a whole family from death
The cost Of the war for one second will
save ten lives for four months.
1.-Two rifles will save them and afford
them the comfort Of blankets during the
rainy and cold season.
THE cost of firing one shot from a six
inch gun would save FIVE families
"oue scrub baggage-train horse would
save a small community.
Zone. fifth Of the cost Of attempting to
conquer the Beers would save the entire
fifty millions Of England's starving sub
iects in India.
THE rescue Of these lives Is simply a
matter Of money. There is food enough
in India. All that is necessary is the
means Of buying II. The cable operates
quickly says the Herald. The cable
would operate just as quickly at the CON-
mand Of the British government as at that
Of benevolent Americans. If Il be true
that every one Of rs that contributes two
dollars save the life Of some wretched Hin
doc who would die but for that succor,
then every human being who perishss Ia
