Stirring Pictures Of Chinese Life.

DR.. W. r. Morse, a physician sent to
China by the American Baptist Foreign
Mission Society OF Boston, has turned
contractor in the famine district OF East
China and is repairing a government
canal. He himself tells conditions in a
recent letter dated at North Kiangsu.
II will tell you a few things and then
will tell you the manner in which we
are trying TO give relief. Along the
Grand Canal the banks have to be re-
paired each year. The amount Of repair
varies with the amount OF floods. &C,
and the government does the repairing.
This year because of the war and be-
cause there is no government (at least
in that section) the canal is being neg
lected. In normal years We are told on
what We think Is good authority that.
of a grant from the government to say
300, 900 taels only 5000 taels reaches the
hands and mouths of the actual laborers.
In former years It has been the custom
of famine relief committees to give food
and money to those in actual need; this
year because Of the feeling that we
ought TO do something more than just
give, the committee has decided to eX-
pend the money in food and give the
food in payment for work performed un-
der the supervision of a foreigner. Hence
some Of the reasons why am attempt
ing to supervise the building a new canal
bank and at present have 200 heads
of families working with the intention OF
adding 5000 more heads OF families to
the work next week. Some Job for a mis-
sionary doctor! Is there any other pro-
fession as varied. cosmopolitan. versatile.
and peculiar as that OF a missionary?
