SPECIAL PHILANTHROPY. 383would not involve an expenditure of more than fivecents a head. The question presents itself as to whethersome method could not be devised by which thistreatment should be made available for at least everychild that is born in a Chinese Christian home, andthus the risks of blindness reduced. This subjectmight well be conjointly faced by the medical workersand the workers among the blind, for it is clear thatwe have a duty not merely to help those who arealready blind, but also, if possible, to prevent blindness.The call to action is the more imperative when onerealises that two minutes time given to using thistreatment may prevent seventy or more years ofblindness.Another matter that calls for attention in the futureis the question whether there are in any part of Chinablind children of Christian parents growing up inignorance. It is to be hoped that missionaries everywhere will .see to it that no child whose future theycan influence is allowed to pass through life unhappyand neglected. A determined effort should be madeby all workers to place every blind Christian child inone or other of the institutions for the blind. The lotof one who is both blind and ignorantis too dreadfulto contemplate. Let us see to it that these speciallyneedy ones are all cared for by the church in whosecare the Master has placed them,GEORGE A.CLAYTON.Places where there is work for the blind :PekingMoukdenCantonHankowKuchengShanghaiCliaiigshaKowloonW.
