To the Editor of the Nonra-Curva Day News, Dean Sir,—I have much pleasure in sending for insertion in your paper various extracts from letters to the Rev. Mr. Stevenson of the China Inland Mission, from several colleagues of his now Inbouring in Honan. Their account of the work there is in keeping with what has been reported for " long time past. The Government continues to assist the people most nobly, so as to render it necessary for the foreign distributors to explore in all directions fo avenues to carry on their work. Ther only one opinion as to the coming necessity, though at present it is not so urgent, and we are therefore compelled to hold back in the meantime and to reserve our strength for the future.
I have been informed that the China Inland Mission has received from Home in answer to the ap] made there, a sum over Tls. 5,000 for the Yellow River troubles, j but no great nee can be made of it just now.
Yours truly, Shanghai, 16th March.
