FAMINE IN CHINA.
Sir,—We were thankful to-day to sefl "Sympathiser's" letter re tho awful famine raging in China, and would like to inform, him through your pages that an appeal was made through your columns List December, and also in other papers. Up to date, Mr. A. Chadwick Brown, lion, treasurer China Inland Mission for North Island, care of Tonson Garlick and Co., has received £132, £105 of which has already been forwarded to Shanghai for the Relief Committee. These donations have been duly acknowledged. Latest news includes the following:—"Shanghai, February 7. The missionaries in the famine districts are devoting themselves most, energetically to doing all they can to meet tho calls upon them. ... It is gathered from telegrams and other sources that thero is almost absolutely no grain to Ix: had, even for money, in all thid region. It is fearful to contemplate the suffering that will inevitably be felt in spite of every effort for relief, and the death roll will probably mount tin into the millions. How much more money there is still needed for tho surviving sufferer-!" .1. Chadwick Hitoxvx, lion. Sec. C.I.M. April 11.
