387 forefathers were oppulent, in the; same: degree as you are at present! Learn then a lesson from the past. :. The name ondy, of those will live who sacrifice them for the sake of their fellow beings. You millionaires of Bombay, Calcutta and Rajputana!please get up and organize means to saye the life and honour of your fellow Jains at least who are now sure to be deprived of their bare necessaries. You heirless seths ! why should you have the path to destroy your estate by the course of putting ignorant and alien boys in the whole possession of your riches? Why do you not spend portion of it almost in the noble cause of serving your fellow beings in general and Jains in particular? The present is the time when you will earn an immortal name. Organize the funds and open Jain houses in large centres, e. g. Beawar, Ajmer, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Patan (Gujrat), Baroda, Bombay, Dehli and the like places. Save the living figures, who are in no way worst placed in Nature than yout dignified selves. I want to speak more. If you have a true heart, I am sure this will certainly go home to its depth. Let me only once more remind you “be immortal by saying hungry lives." If your hands are narrow, cut off your luxuries from your inode of living. Simple bread and coarse cloth is enough fong man.

GOING TO ENGLAND. An Apeal to the Jains.
.. It has now been seen by all the thinking men of our country that India's salvation requires among other things the going to foreign countries. Many of the youths of the best families of our community go to Europe either with a view to qualify themselves for a profession or service such as is not open to those who receive education in India or with a view to enter into commercial relations with Europe. In the absence of arrangements for Hindu food on board the steamer, some oí those who are commanded by their conscience and religion to eat no animal food eat not only flesh but cow's flesh alike abhorred by the carnivorous and the vegetarian Hindus. Will the Jaius discuss and solve the problem of vegetarianism on a steam ship successfully conferring a boon both upon the vegetarian passengers and their confiding relatives who wish and trust that their son, nephew or husband should do nothing that is fundamentally opposed to the basic principle of their religion, and therefore a great sin?
