APPEAL. We cordially commend the Statements contained in tlie following Letters to the earnest consideration of the friends of our common humanity. As reported in the Levant Herald of 19th August, and other newspapers, the famine had at that date resulted in the death, from starvation and consequent disease, of not fewer than 150,000 persons; and it is now abundantly evident that the terrible calamity, instead of abating, is daily increasing in extent and severity. Although it is stated that there is a prospect of the Turkish Grovernment taking nreasures for the relief of the distress, it appears to the persons who are best acquainted with the circumstances that, in order to its more effeetnal mitigation, a large amount of private benevolence must be called into immediate exercise. Whatever aid the friends in Scotland may render will in future be placed, for the relief of the sufferers generally, at the disposal of the following parties in Constantinople : — Sir Philip Frawcis, Her Britannic Majesty's Oonsul-General ; Eev. Dr Alex. Thomsoit, of the British and Foreign Bible Society ; and the Eev. Alex. Va^- Millhstgef, minister of the Union Oliurch. W. L. ALEXANDER, D.D. EOB. BUCHANAN, D.D. JOHN CAIENS, D.D. G. D.

Dr Thomson, Constantinople, to Messrs Maclaren & Macniven, Edinburgh. Bible House, Constantinople, nth September 187Jf. Dear Sies, — Tour favour of 28th ult., enclosing a Bill on London in my favour for £44, duly reached me yesterday evening, and I hasten to avail myself of to-day's post to express to you and the Eev. J. H. "Wilson, and all the contributors, my heartfelt thanks for your liberal and most seasonable aid. It will gladden the hearts of Messrs Farnsworth and Barrows at Cesarea, and of Mr Yakobian's congregation, to be enabled through your kind- ness to alleviate the sufferings of the thousands around them to some extent ; and I am informed that one may have the general assurance, that at the present critical state of affairs, every pound sent represents one life saved. This is a statement which even we here in Constantinople have great difficulty in realising, for here there are comparatively few indications that famine and death are playing such havoc within a few hundred miles of us. But the facts are but too well substantiated. Apart from my long personal acquaintance with Mr Farnsworth, and my thorough conviction of his sober truthfulness and intelligence, his graphic letters bear on their face the stamp of veracity, and everything tends to confirm the representations he has given. Great as the suffering has been, there is every prospect that it will become still worse within the next two years, unless the people be supplied with seed-corn, houses, and clothing, as well as food, for they are utterly destitute. Above all, we are anxious that the Grovernment should carry on railways and other public works, and thus both get some return for the funds they expend, and render the recurrence of such a fearful calamity less easy in time to come. Strong repre- sentations are being made to the Government to this effect ; but such is the state of matters here, that so late as a day or two ago, the Grand Yizier urged in reply that he was quite ignorant of the real state of things in the district affected, and thought of sending a Special Commission to observe and report. In short, but for the prompt aid already afforded by our countrymen, and the help they induced the Government to supply, the mortality might have been infinitely greater than it has actually been. I shall cash your Bill here, and shall write to Mr Parnsworth by the first mail, which will be on the 9th inst., and request him to put the funds at the disposal of Mr Yakobian's congregation. He will be cheered to think that further subscriptions are being- solicited, for it is one of the most painful things conceivable to 3 see our fellow-men dying around us for want of tlie bread that perisheth, and yet be unable to break it to them. — I am, &c. Alex. Thomson. II. Kev. Alex. Van Millingen, Constantinople, to Rev. J. H. Wilson, Edinburgh. Constantinople, 1st Oct. 1874.. My Dear Mk Wilson,— I am right glad to see that public attention has been drawn in Scotland to the famine which pre- vails in Asia Minor. The case is one for which too much cannot be done. Having seen but yesterday a friend of mine who has just come from the famine district — Mr Edwin Thomson, agent at Angora for the Messrs Salt, of Bradford — I find myself in a position to furnish you with reliable information, which I beg you will use as you think will best deepen the interest in our famine-stricken provinces. The area over which the famine rages consists of Galatia and parts of Phrygia and Cappadocia, some 40,000 square miles, with a population of two millions, chiefly Christians. The state of things is worse in Galatia, of which Angora is the chief town. You know, I think, the history of the case. The harvest of '73 failed, and no proper measures were taken to meet the consequences of that fact, while there was time, by throwing in supplies. Then came a sore winter, which blockaded the roads and destroyed the cattle. The population was obliged to draw largely upon the seed-corn, and thus was able to sow only one-ninth of the usual acreage. The harvest reaped from that this year has been good, but of course not suffi- cient. Along with the fruit now in season, it is supporting the population for the present, but in a few weeks all local supplies will be exhausted. It is really awful to think of that mass of fellow-creatures without food, without work, and without the seed and oxen necessary to bring the famine preying upon them to an end. At length 35,000 deaths have occurred in the province of Angora from starvation and disease, due to insufiicient food. In one village the deaths were so numerous that the Governor had to send a body of police to inter the dead, which was done by throwing them into an old well. 25,000 families have emi- grated from the provinces, leaving many villages without an inhabitant. The Government has done something in the matter, but nothing adequate te cope with the magnitude of the evil. It is not free from blame, far otherwise; but it should be borne in mind that the Government has no large surplus funds at its dis- posal. Do not for a moment think that the new Turkish Loan will be of much use for this purpose. It is required to meet pressing obligations of another kind. So that while we fully expect that Government will do something more, we do not expect it to do enough. As to private charity, it has not been lacking, and it will certainly continue to help. But, at least, half a milHon sterling is necessary to meet the wants of the popula- 4 tion. A member of the Government says that a million is required. So you see that there is room for help from Britain and America, even if parties here do their utmost. All who have come from the famine district give heartrending accounts of the state of things there ; but, bad as matters have been, they will be far worse if relief is not promptly afforded. Any friends who feel inclined to hel]3 may rest assured that the money will be properly applied. It will be administered by English and American hands. My services as a medium of communication are at your command. I conclude by suggesting that we have here a grand opportunity to act like Christ, and to make the name of our Pro- testant Christianity to be in these parts as "ointment poured forth." — Yours sincerely, Alex. Van Millingen. III. Extracts from a Letter from Sir Philip Francis, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Constantinople, to J. MuiR, Esq., D.C.L., Edinburgh. Constantinople, 6th Oct. 1874- My Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that we are determined to take the course recommended by you some time since, to agitate in England for resources against the still increasing famine in Asia Minor. It is evident that the winter and spring will be one of greater suffering than the last. Mr Crawsliay has given £600 to begin the campaign with. He will on his return appeal to the public of England. And if you could co-operate with him in your own country, we might stir up the benevolent. . . . The Levant Herald', copies of which I will send jow, will give you details. The American minister, M. Le Bey, and myself, are the trustees for the subscription, and we shall operate through agents on the spot and committees of trustworthy people. ... I have been away from Constantinople for a month, but am now ready to begin again at this work, which is stupendous and almost heart-breaking. We must act quickly, for when the rains and snow come, our trouble will be increased in every way. IV. Eev. Dr Thomson, Constantinople, to Messrs Maclaren & Macniven, Edinburgh. Constantinople, 13th October 1874. Dear Sirs, — I herewith enclose for you and Eev. J. H. Wilson, a letter received yesterday from Eev. Mr Earnsworth of Cesarea. I need say nothing further than that the state of things it describes, in colours not in the least exaggerated or too sombre, will warrant every possible eifort of private benevolence to supplement whatever may be done by the Government. — I am, my Dear Sirs, yours most faithfully, Alexander Thomson. 5 V. Rev. W. A. Farnswoeth, Cesarea, to Rev. Dr Thomson, Constantinople. Cesarea, 30th Septemher 1874. Dear Sir, — Your favour of the 9th inst. is before me. For it very many thanks. I was absent on a tour to Nigde and Aksarai when it came, or it would have received an earlier reply. We are very greatly gratified and cheered by the expressions of sympathy as well as the pecuniary aid that our brethren in various parts of the world are giving us in this time of sore trial. I wish to express to you, and through you to the Rev. J. H. Wilson and our Scotch friends in Edinburgh and vicinity, my own and my associates' very deep gratitude for the liberal aid which you have so kindly forwarded to us. It was passed over immediately on its reception to the committee of the church as requested, and you may assure our friends that the aid was most timely. They immediately sent an agent to the regions east of Cesarea, with directions to expend almost the whole sum in tho purchase of wheat, which is to be brought here, and distributed to the most needy from time to time, and in small quantities, just enough to keep them from actual starvation. It is believed that these brethren are making a wise use of this trust. I am very sorry to say that the famine continues to grow more and more severe. True, the number of wanderers here in Cesarea and vicinity destitute of shelter as well as food, and almost destitute of clothing, is not so great now as it was three months ago ; but as the harvests are now nearly all gathered in, and they can find no work and no food in the villages, they are coming in again, and the probability is that in a month the number will be larger than ever. The quantity of flour coming into Cesarea is small, and prices continue to advance. Unless some very efficient means for the supply be adopted, there is great danger that even those who have ready money may suffer for food. There is a report that such means are matured, and that Mahmood Pasha of Adana (formerly Saderazam) has actually procured for Cesarea and vicinity a very large quantity of grain. This, if true, is good news ; but this can only prove a relief to those who have the ability to purchase. This multitudes have not. They are absolutely destitute, and must starve unless other means of relief be found. Perhaps as many as forty such persons have been to our door already this morning. In a few weeks we must see them in crowds. Besides these, very many of the people of the place are even now suffering very greatly. Among those who came for help yesterday was one poor woman (a Greek), who entreated for herself and five children all starving, and no possible means of relief. We are very thankful to our friends who are enabling us to do something for such cases. The destitution is so great that private charity will be utterly unable to meet it. One year ago the Government might have met the 6 difficulty, and now there would have been no famine. _ Even now, by opening extensive public works, and employing tens of thousands of labourers at remunerative prices, the evil could be checked at once, and by furnishing seed-corn and oxen to the farmers, a good harvest might be expected in 1875. Besides this, all those who can furnish anything to feed starving men and women and children, in Angora and Konia and Marsovan and Cesarea, and in this region of about 70,000 square miles, may be sure that they are labouring for those who are very great sufferers. Our friends are doing nobly. We will do our utmost to secure the greatest relief from the least expense. I found persons dying from starvation at the rate of from two to eight per day in Aksarai, when I was there ten days ago. The number must increase. The worst cases are the villages. The country to the west of us is fast becoming a desert. _ It seems very strange that, with the aid of postal communication and telegraphs, the Turkish Government does not yet know the condition of this famine-stricken region. If it has information, it acts as if it had none. This is evident from its effort to collect the taxes. The people are in utter despair. Multitudes are flocking to the plains of Cilicia, where there is an abundance of grain ; but they must perish there. They are simply like men on a burning ship, who, to avoid the fire, jump into the sea. In each case death is equally certain. Such is implied by the reports from Adana and vicinity, and such is the feeling of the people, as I learn by conversation, both with those whom I have seen making their wearisome journey towards the Cilician Gates, and with others who still remain in the villages. Please pardon a somewhat hasty and confused letter. I write under great pressure. Assure our friends of our gratitude. We await further news from them, and pray the Lord to give them the reward of those who "remember the poor." — Truly your brother and fellow-labourer, W. A. Faensworth. Extract from Article in " Levant Herald," of date lUh October 1874. . . . " Supposing that the Government should be able to accomplish all that its friends desire and its best counsellors advise, what then remains for charity to do ? Unfortunately more, we fear, than the largest and most generous aid will be able to compass. The State promises bread— more it cannot be asked to do ; but the people are naked and houseless, as well as starving ; there is sickness — there are thousands of families in which the men have died, and only the women and children remain. Provided, then, that the Government adheres firmly to its promise to supply bread, and thus lay the spectre of starva- tion, private charity, liberally bestowed, will render vast service in supplementing the bounty of the State by gifts of money to repair dwellings, of fuel, of clothing, of medicines, of food for the sick and enfeebled more nourishing than bare bread."
