Missionary Methods.
Brought Out BY Comment on Col.
Parker's Criticism Argument
in Theology.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: your
article Of October 10, in which you con
trovert Col. Parker's erroneous opin-
ion that the American missionaries
tried to graft on the Hawaiian people
their own type Of Christianity, and
failed" you say truly that it was not
on this account that the natives were
in the end broken in spirit and be
came indolent." But you acknowledge
d partial truth in the first half OF the
opinion expressed and you say that "a
better natural religion" should first
have been inculcated so as to prepare
the way for the teachings Of a re
vealed religion"
/ know 1t IS very preSumpLuOuS 20
call in question the infallibility of the
omniscient editor; but, without any
desire TO enter upon a newspaper con-
troversy, | trust that in your we'll
known Iiberality / shall receive the
courtesy of a little space in your col
umns to present some thought for con-
sideration, regarding this topic, from
a different standpoint. AS L under
stand il, the representation Of the Bible
is not that men are to be educated up
TO a wiser and better manhood and
righteous life, but that all men
need first of all the childllke
spirit of loving obedience to
the Heavenly Fathers sovereign
and holy rule. AS read your editorial,
according to your psychology and
evolution" it would seem that the
IN
show the Hawaiians how low down
they were in the scale of social de
velopment and then to have instructed
them how to be cleanly according to
the latest dicta of hygienic science, in
telligent on the lines of the New Ed
ucation,' thrifty in accordance with
the fixed principles of political econ
omy.
| acknowledge that this is differ
ent method from that which was ac-
tually followed. Yet / do not admit
that the missionaries aim was to teach
belief in the atonement." That would
have been instruction in theology, but
not preaching the Gospel, as they were
commissioned to do. That, as L under
stand il, is calling upon men to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ as the Divine
Redeemer sent from God TO deliver
sinful humanity from sin ana us con-
sequences through atoning sacri-
fee on the cross Of Calvary.
It is an authoritative proclama-
ton to men that they are sons of God
and heirs of heaven, though wandering
and disobedient, and that their first
step is to come back and take their
true place in the Fathers house, and
live as His loving, obedient children
should live. But to tell men OF the
good times they will have and of the
fatted calf waiting for them while
their hearts are still estranged from
God is TO reverse the divine order.

CHURCH AND STATE MUST BIZ
SEPARATED.

Req Ch0s l. GreGUes, PittsbOrO. N G :
MY DEAR eIR:-I think the School
Committee should always provide a
public school lot and building.
The spirit of all our laws seem to be
against combining Church and State
in any way.
When the public school is combined
with a UNCONVENTIONAL school the best
interest of the public school can rarely
if ever be served.
We can not have the support of all
the people when the public schools are
united with church schools.
The public schools are for all the PEG
pie, supported by all the people, and
must serve all the people in enlighten,
ment without any regard TO churches
or denominations.
The law provides for combining pub
lie schools with private schools, but /
do not think this provision in any
n means UNCONVENTIONAL or Church
schools. Yours truly,

(SiRnedl SHAFTER
OUTSIDE OFFICERS INCLUDED IN THE PRO-
POSED SURRENDER RAISE A VIGOROUS
OBJECTION.
WASHINGTON, D. O., July Is AT
midnight tonight Secretary Alger and
administra Eion authorities were some
what anxious on account of the news
that a hitch had occurred in the ne,
EQUATIONS for the surrender of San
tiago.
Toral has undertaken to surrender
all the troops in his command, about
IL 900 of whom are in the district out
eide of the city. It is known positively
by officials at the War Department
that officers commanding these troops
In the outlying sections have raised
various objections to the surrender of
their troops which have not yet had an
opportunity t resist. 1t is stated here
that there is no doubt that Toral is
now in cable communication with his
government in reference to this matter.
Gable communication with Santiago
tonight was interrupted, the wire being
grounded. Communication ceased
while a message from General Shatter
was coming, and not enough of its con
tents had been received to indicate
what it contained. This only added to
the anxiety Of the War Department
officials.
WAR DEPARTMENT OPININON Is THAT he
HOPES TO GAIN BY THE FELLOW FEVER
SITUATION.
WASHINGTON, D. G., July Is Dis
patches received from General Shafter
late tonight stated that Toral had i'm
posed a new condition for his surrender,
namely, that his soldiers must be al
lowed to retain their arms. The Presi
dent and most of the members of the
Cabinet held a consultation at the
White House and sent a dispatch to
Skater that he must refuse to modify
the terms in the slightest particular.
If the enemy did not carry out the
pledge to hand Santiago over, hostilI.
ties must be resumed st once. 1t is
believed that Toral, under instructions
from Madrid, is endeavoring to use the
prevalence of yellow fever among the
American troops as a means OF getting
belts r terms.
All Secretary Alger will cay is that
he hopes the firm stand taken will con
vince Toral that he must stand by the
original terms or be annihiIa5ed. "a,

o. last Friday the following dis
patches was published in the dailies:
WASHINGTON, D, O., July 14.-Gen
eral Toral has surrendered on terms
dictated by the United States Not
only did he give up Santiago, but, see
ing the ho~pelessness of further struggle
and that his fall would mean the early
collapse of Spain's power in other sec
tons Of eastern Cuba under his com
mand, he surrendered his whole army.
covering a territory of many Thousand
square miles in the eastern end Of the
island.
Some details came from General
Miles at 4 p. M, who cabled that Toral
surrendered ''on the terms and under
standing that his troops would be re
turned to Spain" He said that Gen
eral Shatter would appoint commits
sioners to draw up Conditions of ar
rangements for carrying out the terms
of surrender. The dispatch added:
This isvery gratifying, as Shafter and
the officers and men of his command
are entitled to great credit for their
fortitude in overcoming the almost
i~usuperable obstacles which they en-
Countered."
General Miles also stated that a por-
ton of the army had been injected with
yellow fever, and that efforts would
be made to prevent it's spread.
General Skaters message came at 2
o'clock, and said he had just returned
from an interview with Toral, who had
agreed to surrender upon the basis of
being returned to Spain. This propo
sition, he said, embraced all of eastern
Cuba, with practically the Fourth
Spanish army crops.
The territory surrendered by Gen
eral Tora1 is II, 600 square miles with
$50, 900 inhabitants and contains the
clues of Santiago, Guantanamo, Bara,
Goa and Sagua de Tanamo. The region
is one of the richest in the island. 1t
has numerous iron and copper mines
and magnificent and extensive sugar
plantations. Guantanamo and San
tiego have the finest COTE plantations
on the island.
General Toral's corps is v~ariously es-
tlma5ed to number from 8, 900 60 %. 600
a conservative estimate places IL at
