________________ IN MEMORIAM 3. Dan-vir Seth Gurmukh Rai Sukhanand of Bombay was a princely donor. The Dharmshala which he has built at Bombay is a splendid rest house, open, spacious, commodious, well furnished with all necessary conveniences, and will perpetuate his name for generations. 4. Pt. Dhanna Lal Kashliwal was a prominent figure in all Jain gatherings, particularly of the Khandelwal Samaj. He worked hard and successfully in collecting funds for the Morena School of Jain Philosophy, in Gwalior State, and was a tower of strength to the Shastriya Parishad and Khandelwal Hitechhu. 5. Babu Gopi Chand Jain, advocate of Amballa has passed away recently. He was president of the Jain Mahasabha Punjab, and of the Atmanand Jain Sabha, Simla; also manager of the Atmanand Jain High School there. The Atmanand Jain Sabha of Ambala, helped very largely in the propagation of Jainism by publishing a large number of short and popular tracts on various subjects. The deceased took a keen interest in the correction and amendment of School Text Books containing wrong, incorrect and misleading statements on matters relating to Jainism. His had been a life dedicated to the service of Jains and Jainism. He was a member of the All-India Jain Association and its Managing Body, very liberal in his views, a quiet and peaceful worker. His untimely death has been a great loss not only to the Swetambars but to the whole Jain Society.
