Chicago Dispatch: We are pleased 70
learn from the annual report of the
American Foreign Missionary society
that the average cost of converting a
heather is now only $216 net. This is
cheap enough. No one will claim that
the results are not worth the money.
But we cannot help but wish that great
err care were exercised in selecting the
heathens to be experimental upon. The
heather of Central Africa may be
worth saving ut $216 a head. but we
would prefer to see the money expend-
ed in saving the heather of Chicago.
Why not let the heather of Borioboola
Cha work out their OWL salvation until
the heather of the levee district shall
have been cared for? Let us regenerate
Clark street first and China afterward.
