NEST PERISH FROM
FAMINE UNLESS HELPED

Pathetic details Of the SUIT erinx
from famine in Anwhei and other
provinces Of China reach the mission
boards in every mail. A letter 10
the board If foreign missions Of
the Presbyterian church in New
York City from the Rev. Thomas
Carter. a missionary at Hwai Yuen
in Anwhei province follows:
Il never really knew what the
Lords prayer meant until today"
he writes. I'VE came to a village
where some Christians gathered
for worship. To hear that COM
pany of men say Give as this day
our daily bread had a strange
sound when we knew that not one
of them had so much as seen bread
for many a day unless you call
pres ,ed potato vines bread. Some
how. that prayer must be answered.
We cannot let these people
starve." '''
A million persons in the region
to the north of his station, Mr..
Carter says, are to die of starva-
ton before summer unless help
comes from outside. He writes of
the scene, as it impressed him, in
the following terms:
1T would be hard to draw a
picture of the famine district that
would not be altogether mislead-
ing. The country looks much the
same as any stretch of country
looks anywhere in China. Long
stretches of good rice fields Just
beginning to be green with winter
wheat.
ut is only as we look closely and
ask questions that we find out the
real state of affairs. We look at
the fields that looked so prosperous
and we realize that those fields
were all under water last summer,
the fields of over two million
people and that the wheat We see
will not be ready until June and
before that time unless help comes
the large part of the people that
planted the wheat will be beyond
using it.
And now we look again at the
persons who have come down to
meet US with their rice bowls. In
the bowls there is no rice. They
contain chiefly hot water and some
we Ids gathered from the field :,
mixed with few grains of
precious wheat brought with the
relief money given by the govern
ment relief that amounts to about
three cents. given only to the
poorest. that is, to about half the
population.
This is something of what
famine means now. What it is
going to mean soon we scarcely
dare to think, for It is still five
months before the wheat harvests.
Already in many places the bark is
taken from the trees and eater.
1.-THE country is perfectly peace
full. more so than usual it seems to
the stranger. for there are no dogs
to bark at the passersby. They
are all starved or eaten, or both.
The same is true Of all the
animals"
