Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1938-01-03

China is in distress. Tons of bomb I
and shells are killing thousands of
her people, not merely soldiers in
battle, but thousands of helpless wo-
men and children. Refugees are filling
Shanghai and other cities and they
are dying for lack of food clothin
and medicines, Cholera is taking
heavy toll. Surely every Christian
heart must look with compassion up.
on the helpless millions who suffer 4
all the horrors of war, famine and
pestilence.
Our Chinese Baptists are suffering
with their countrymen. Who of US
would not wish to help at such a
time as this? Our brethren in Christ
are in dire need. Many have lost theic
jobs, their homes and household
goods with no means of support We
know that a dollar will buy enough
rice to keep one of our brethren alive
for month. Who of us can eat his
Christmas or New Years dinner in
peace if he refuses to feed our starv-
ing brethren in China? Seventy thous-
and Baptists in China are in danger.
One hundred and fifty Southern Bap-
list missionaries are on the ground
ready to distribute our gifts. How can
we better prepare the hearts of Chi
nese to receive the Gospel than by
keeping alive thousands of starving
people?
The Foreign Mission Board can &c.
the money to China within three
hours after it reaches Richmond, and
our missionaries will distribute our
gifts to their starving neghbors, TAX
ing care first of our Baptist brethren
but not limiting the aid to them.
The Executive Committee of the
Southern Baptist Convention meeting
in Nashville, December 18th, authoriz-
ed and directed us to offer to the pas
tors and churches the services of the
Foreign Mission Board in conveying
to the starving Chinese our Christina
and New Year gifts. We are happy
that Southern Baptists can give their
aid through our own Foreign Board
and our faithful missionaries. May the
spirit of the Good Samaritan live
again in our hearts. May we hear
above the roar of the cannon and the
crash of the BOMBS the beautiful
words of our, Master, "Inasmuch as
We did it to one of the least OF these
my brethren, we did it unto me-"

RIVER POLLUTION
CITED BY GROUPS
Three Associations Complain Of
Contaminated Condition of
Eastern Branch,

The contaminated condition of the
Eastern Branch has resulted in pro-
tests the last few days from citizens
associations in the Southeast, who
complained of the offensive odor and
obvious pollution" of the river.
Both the Randle Highlands and
North Randle Community Citizens
Associations, which are located across
the river and are more "in line" with
the stencil that is waited across, criti-
cized health authorities for permitting
sewage to flow into the river during
recent repairs on interception basins
near Gallinger Hospital.
The Southeast Business Mems As
sociation, at its meeting last Monday,
inaugurated the complaints, with a re-
quest to District officials that more
men and pumps be used in eliminating
the sewage disposal. They cited that
the close proximity Of Gallinger Hos
pital and the District Jail to such a
condition, which could very easily re-
suit in malaria germs, was sufficient
reason.
Following the complaints, mainte-
nance engineer of the District was as
signed by Maj. John Blake Gordon to
make an inspection of the existing con-
ditions in the river.
Maj. Blake was of the opinion that
the spraying of the walls and banks
would help and blamed the odors pri-
marily on the sluggishness of the river,
adding that the pollution would be
diminished with the advent of rain.
