consented to help in caring for India or

America rescued from death quite large
number OF little orphans in tar away
India. but in the hurry OF our western
lie MANY OF these little ones W HON we
| then rescued from death have been al"
most forgotten and are in danger OF De-
ing forced into something even worse
than death, and especially is this true OF
the girls. .o,;.,a
Hence we feel justified in appealing
once more to the people OF America u
helm those little ones. The grown ar
nonulation of India, so many OF Whon
needed help in famine time, are now abl'
to care for themselves; but the little one
still need our help. First OF all, they hee'
something to eat; second, they need
CHEEKY home; and, third, we Wish t,
