Some women hardly realize that this is
the one and only cause of all their mis-

neuralgia or dyspepsia or insomnia. Be

upon.

MISSIONARY EFFORT.
It Is Needed in Every One OF Our
Large Cities.
Foreign Missions Are Commendable, But
Experience Shows That More Re-
ugious Work Should Be
Done at Home.
Especial Washington Letter.l


More things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams of. Many an
effort, well-directed, produces effects
which last for all time. The people who
pray and work for their fellow man
have more to do with the advancement
of their race in civilization and indus
try than they receive credit for in their
day and generation.
The world is growing better, but
original sin end human perversity are
always apparent. Some of the best
meant efforts of good people are mis-
directed. Thousands of dollars are ex-
pended for the furtherance of the gos-
pei, and the greater portion of the con-
tributions practically wasted because
they do not produce appropriate re-
suits. All men are striving for the bet
terment of their conditions, but the ma
jority grope IN the dark and spend their
substance with ill advisement.
To be frank with you at the outset,
this is to be more of a sermon upon an
important topic than a news letter,
and yet there are some facts to be pre-
sented which are worthy of serious
consideration by every true Christian
man and woman.
Not long ago at Old Orchard, Me-,
there was a missionary meeting, and
the enormous sum of S1O1 900 was raised
among the hard-worl>ing, hard-fsted,
saving and almost penurious New Eng
landers for the purpose of sending mis-
sionaries to the heather. The preach
ers told narrowing stories concerning
the murder of innocent children by par
ents, relatives and strangers The con-
dition of the heather in China particu-
larly attracted attention as eloGuently
set forth by an earnest missionary
from that country The good people
felt that it was their duty to raise that
amount of money to spread the gospel
in China and in other oriental countries,
and they gave up their money with
unusual and commendable freedom.
In the excitement of the moment wom-
en- gave up their finger rings, earrings,
breastpins, brooches and other Orna-
ments; all for the poor heather.
But there is a country which needs
Christian enlightenment which some of
our good people have long overlooked
entirely. There is a country over which
the clouds of sin and shame have long
been hanging. Upon all the maps it
is labeled United States of America -
Time and space forbid the depletion
of the entire country, for it is of great
area and of great population. In the
better part of that country, in and con-
tiguous to the capital city, there is so
much sin and sin-caused suffering that
some good and true man of spiritual
power ought to hold a meeting at Old
Orchard, or some other good place, and
raise $1o1 900 for the heather there.
Last summer an innocent girl named
Elsie Kreglo, living in the suburbs of
the capital of that heather country,
went to drive home the COWS. In the
woods she was attacked by a mortal
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1896-11-21

man with black skin who assaulted
her, beat her, dragged her 100 yards.
and then cut her throat. Then he
threw her into a creek to die. Her
screams brought her mother, who ran
into the creek and held the head of the
dying girl upon her lap, while her life
blood crimsoEed the stream.
One month later, at country place
within the confines of the District of
Columbia, young lady named Drown
was assaulted in her own home by a
mortal man with a mulattO skin, who
cut her throat, almost severing her head
from her body. She was found three
hours later by the agonized family.
Two weeks later a man named Irwin
went to sleep peacefully in his country
home within few miles OF the capital
city. and mortal man with a white
skin entered and shot Irwin's whole
head off with a shotgun. Irwin's wife
was lying by his side when the deed
was done. and she narrowly escaped
with her life.
Right in the center of the capital
city elderly man was going home
after day of toll, and in one of the
public parks he was robbed and beaten
to death by two mortal souls with
white skins, and his body left out under
the stars.
These crimes were committed by
mortal men to whom the gospel should
have been taken. They speak our Ian
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1896-11-21
EIGHTEENTH YEAR.

guage. Missionaries would not need
to spend years of time and thousands
of dollars to learn the language and Gus
toms of the country in which these
heather live. One dollar expended in
spreading the gospel among the heather
of the United States would undoubted-
ly prove more effective than 500 sent
to heather in foreign countries.
Within a radius of 100 miles from the
capital building there are more than
100000 people, and the gospel ought
to be taken to all of them. They ought
also to have food and raiment. Last
summer on Seventh street. IN the heart
of the capital city, three little children
were found pulling up grass from be-
tween the bricks and on the edge of the
sidewalk, and eating it greedily. They
were starving. OF course they attract
ed attention, and investigation devel-
oped that their father and mother
were sick and starving in unfur-
nished room without a bed to lie upon.
And all this while money was being
raised to send to foreign countries to
save the souls of Cinnamon and Hin
docs.
In the capital city Of the country to
which attention is called there are up
