 Russia for 1892, painful though the memory be,
  history will point out many a bright and joyous page scattered
  throughout the Empire, on which will be written in letters of gold
  the beautiful story of brotherly love as exemplified by the good
  people of the United States of America.

  Hardly had human voices been heard calling for bread in certain
  governments of Russia, that had suffered from drought, hail, and
  untimely frost, ere that friendly people across the Atlantic, moved
  by an earnest desire to help the afflicted and to feed the hungry,
  collected from every state in the Union, as if by one accord,
  shipload after shipload of corn, and dispatched them, one after the
  other, on their errand of mercy and relief.

  Deeply grateful for such evident signs of evangelical feeling and
  interest, the Assembly of Nobles of the government of St.
  Petersburg, as representatives of the intellectual class in Russia,
  has resolved to express their warm and heartfelt gratitude to those
  friendly people who form the great nation of the United States of
  America.

  May the Lord bless and keep all those kind-hearted Americans, men,
  women and children, who took part in that great and good work of
  charity, and may the Hand that giveth unto us all, reward them
  bountifully, and ever keep them from a like misfortune.

            (Signed.) The Marshal of the Nobility of St. Petersburg,
                                                COUNT ALEXIS BOBRINSKOY.

Previous to receiving this beautiful tribute, on the arrival of the S.S.
"Indiana" from Philadelphia while not connected with the Red Cross work,
a similar artistic tribute to American donors was presented by the
workmen of Libeau to represent the sentiment of the workmen of Russia,
we introduce it as an additional illustration of the universal sentiment
of tender sympathy and gratitude of the Russian people.
