The Jain community is blessed with having somewealthiest men in its fold and is it to their credit not to come to the rescue of their humbler bretheren when the clarion voice of duty bids them to aid those that are in need? The Honourary Secretary of the Jain Association of India speaking on the low rented sanitary chawls gave out before the General Annual Meeting of that body so far back as January last that in these days of progress and civilization no oration or writings are needed to show innumerable advantages to the poor amongst our community by such sanitary but low-rented chawls, but I would ask my friend if he is in a position to show me any philanthrophic Jain who has come forward with his benevolence to mitigate the grievance in this direction till now. Of course one drop does not make an ocean but I might very well say that where there is a will, there is a way." Hence I have to again and again draw the kind attention of those who are blessed with means to come forward and dip their hands deep in their pockets to make this long felt want a reality and thus remove the reproach that may be at. tributed to them before God for their apathy and in difference when they had power to lend a helping hand, and to do full justice to the question under consideration I once more desire to invite attentiou of the JAIN PUBLIC to make substantial and possible efforts with regard to Housing poor Jains in Bombav initiated on sound lines and preached with great earnestness, Bombay, 14-10-1916.
