Of their need? We have asked muct
 and we have received much with whicl,
 to help the people about here. Is il
 right to ask for more? Is 1t wrong tC
 ask for more? The need is far from
 being over and this has already been
 shown. This is my purpose in writing
 as l have. l feel constrained to let the
 condition of these people be made
 known. I come in daily contact with them in my work among them, and I am pained to think that where l know help should be given I cannot give a
 single penny, or even a loin cloth. I
 know of some aged widows living alone
 In their villages. No relatives, no re-
 sources; day after day passes and they I remain hungry Too feeble to walk. l they dread in these last few days of | their life to leave the poor shelter of I their village and acquaintance to go off and die in an unknown poor house or distant relief camp. There are old men, some of whom can hardly leave their wretched homes to come out into the open air and sun every day, who have nothing to live on except what neigh bors may bring them in pity at night. It often seems as if the number of fam ished, neglected, orphan children were coming, or are being brought by dis tant relatives, in even greater numbers than when the famine was said to be at it's height last year Many people are disabled by sickness. most com monly fever and ague just now, who need care in special ways. Can you or any of your readers help me to find a solution to this whole situation?

 Ahmednagar, Feb. II, 1901.
 A lady missionary at the same station (well known to some New Haven peo- ple), writes during the holidays to her children in this country as follows: T should be so glad to have sent each one some token of love and remembrance; but all l can manage to secure in any direction has to go to the hungry crowd around our doors, Food and clothing is the cry wherever one may look. It did seem as if we could not stand another famine, but here it is and we have no choice. Ii seems very hard to turn them away and not ba able to help them more, but unless We have more help from abroad eur hands will soon be tied for we are very near the end of our means. I had hoped to be able to write and not make mention of famine or want, but that day looks far away now. Instead of having less peo- pie to supply, every day brings some new one so needy that our hearts ache anew and we know. not how to turn l them away. There is little boy who | has been taken into the rug weaving | factory here. He has two sisters who have very little and no chance for ! schooling or anything else So every i evening this poor boy comes to us and | says, My sisters-M Madam Sahib, can't [ you let them come? But the school is Tar too full and our pockets are too [ empty. We must not take them and [ O. day we have had to refuse two nore.'
 And these starving men, women and ,hildren are the subjects of King Ed ward VII, who rules over the richest ,mpire in the world; an empire with un- old millions to use in crushing out the 3oers in South Africa, and the lady Ibove quoted. with scores of others oually devoted are our own flesh and ,lood. the native-born citizens of this and of the free, whose war taxes are till being paid to do similar work Tn he islands of the Orent.
 And England ard America are Chris ian nations, if we accept the pious latitudes of the so-called leaders Of Christian thought on both sides or the cean. that separates us
