SHOULD BIB PROTECTED.
Rev. Marion L. Firor Discussed the
Cause of the Missionaries Who
Are Now in China.

"Should Government Protect the Mis-
sionaries?" was the title of the very
apropos and well-timed sermon given
yesterday morning before the congre-
cation of the Calvary Reformed church
by the pastor, Rev. Marion l.. Firor.
He treated the subject III liberal man
ner, and analyzed the causes leading
up to the present war in China, ard
its probable outcome, in a very careful
manner.
Primary among the causes of the
present trouble" said he, "is the Chi
nese character, selfish and limited, ob
jectng to any intrusions on the
sacredness and privacy of the life led
at present, and excited and goaded INFO
madness by the talk of the partition
OF the country by the great foreign
nations. and the bringing into the
country of strange element. The land
is known as the celestial kingdom, ana
as such, the natives deem themselves
superior to all others.
LAS regards the missionaries obtain
ing protection from the civil author
tiles, literally speaking, they have no
right to expect It. They know when
they leave their homes that they are
taking their lives in their hands, and
should look only to God for protection
and aid, and place their dependence in
Him. The church and state are en-
tirely separate, and therefore the mis-
sionaries should not appeal to their
governments for protection. But while
they should not seek protection, 1t
ought to be given them without the
asking, because the missionary is a
public benefactor. He opens up and
uplifts the world, and for so doing un-
doubtedly deserve the full protection
of civil authorities to be given them.
Then, too, the governments should
interfere on the broad basis of human
ity. Just as the United States inter-
fered with Spanish carnage and pill
lage in Cuba, protesting forcibly
against the wholesale massacre of citl-
zens, so ought the united powers in
terfere and put an end to the reign OF
riot and brutality in China. 1t is the
duty of governments to interfere and
put an end to this violence and MUIR
der.
Religion and politics while separ-
ate in themselves, nevertheless go hand
in hand, in a measure. Wherever there
is good religion you will find good poll
tics, and vice-yersa. The politician,
who is an honest, God-fearing man,
makes an able, trusty administrator,
and in this way missionaries are a
part of the state. Nations should af-
ford the missionaries protection, be-
cause by their power they become in
struments in Gods hands. And thus
our own country, the United States,
must go to the front with the other
countries and do its duty. Wherever
nations are enabled TO upllft and bet
ter the world they should do it, and
surely this is an opportunity"

taking French leave and coming to the

same trick before.

Dor Falling Into Ruins.
New York, Oct. "a. - The Journal
and Advertiser says: Bartholdi's
statue of Liberty on Bedloe's island
is in a %deplorable condition, and an
expenditure Of from SIS 5000 to $1,000 0
will be required to put it in proper
repair. If these repairs are not made
soon a much larger sum will be need
ed to keep it from falling into ruin.
The only reason for this deplorable
condition Of affairs is that there is no
money for the 8 of the committee
to whom is intrusted the proper care
of the gift of the French republic.
Several efforts have in years past
been made to have congress appro-
pirate sufficient money to complete
the pedestal and grounds, but the
bills have ALWAYS been defeated. -
