Acknowledgments for China Relief Fund
GRAND TOTAL TO DATE, $1,089.91.
Dr. ,S. A. S. Metheny says: The following is an extract from a letter
received August 12th from Rev. D. Ray Taggart, of our Cliiiia Mission.
It bears the date of July 8, 1914:
'•The flood has hit us fairly hard here. The damage to mission property
will probably be $300 gold, or maybe worse when painting is done.
It was about four feet deep in our dining room. We are trying to find
out the needy Chinese and pay them while they clean up their own
homes. We have some famine money that has been in the treasury for
some years, and now seems like a good time to use it. Our district is
high enough that Chinese will not sulfer like they will further down the
river. I am going up river tomorrow, and will try to find how they are
faring there. It is the largest flood since 1784, and we hope it will be
that long before there is another. Some of our furniture looks pretty
bad, but that is not even an incident in the general sufEering.''
