Touching appeals from Christian
workers in the far east have come to
prominent citizens Of the United States,
imploring aid for the sick and wounded
soldiers of both armies and the multi
tude Of destitute widows and orphans
of soldiers killed in the war.
Rev. Y. Honda, principal OF the
Aoyama Theological School at Toxic,
Japan, in recent letter says: SLOW
long this distressing condition of
things will last we cannot say. The
people are doing their best and every
charitable agency is taxed to the ut
most, but SO numerous have the i'm
poverished families become that our
means Of immediate relief are utterly
inadequate. Gould some general fund
be raised for this noble purpose, and
missionaries on the ground be fur
nished with the means OF distributing
and a1leviating the distress of these
families, it would indeed be precious
gift, and assure you would never be
forgotten. y
We may not help belligerants, but
we may help the suffering and dis
tressed. The Red Cross of Pity is
neutral ia every cline, and the claims
OF helpless children are a challenge
to Christian love and benefcenee the
world over.
In response TO the moving appeals
thus coming from Christian workers in
Japan, the japanese Relief Fund has
been organized TO obtain the help
needed, and all funds contributed will
be distributed through the Evangelical
Alliance Of Japan, under the over
sight Of Bishop Harris, who is now in
that country.
The executive committee, composed
of Hon. Seth Low, Bishop Greer,
Bishop Harris, Chas. Cuthbert Hall,
DID,, W. r. Huntington, DID,, DR..
