INDIA'S APPEAL.

Famine, from lack OF rain, 1s

fellow beings. At this moment,
death by sheer hunger and thirst
threatens one-sixth of that num-
Der. Thousands are starving
each twenty-four hours. In that
stricken land the heavens are as
iron and the earth as brass.
Birds of the air drop lifeless
from the burning sky. Hundreds
of thousands of cattle have al
ready perished. In the absence
oil food and water, fiercest ami
mails let go their hasreds. and
helpless lie down together To die.
The decsying bodies OF men and
beasts poliute both plains and
rivers.
And the woe has not yet
reached the worst. Face to face
with even such horrors still stand
countless little children. and wo-
men, and men, whom food will
cave. Thank God, relief may al
most instantly pass, by cable. from
this land of plenty TO that India

gifts of money are solicited.

supplies can be provided, and yet
the customary gifts to lorg-es-

India is organizing relief on q

Messrs. Brown Brothers &
Company, the well-kRown bank
