in Mexico and Indians on the reserva-
tions. In each instance, the speaker
told many interesting narratives. and
made an earnest appeal for furtherins
the work.
The south. she said. is a needy field.
Education is needed there among the
illiterate. \ great many of the col
ored preachers in the south are not
true Christians. neither are they edu
Gated men. and many Of them often
appear in their pulpits under the in
nuencp of drink. Thousands of MEM
Christians and many of the children
don't even know about the Lord
Jesus.
Through the medium Of their open
air Sunday schools and industrial
schools. the children grow up and car
ry into their homes the lessons of
Christianity learned in the schools.
But there is an absolute dearth of
sympathy and affection among the
lower classes. In speaking of the work
in Mexico. Mrs. Newell said their
greatest hope for salvation is in the
children and young people.
She described the existing conditions
in the Chinese quarter of San Fran

aries are able to do more for Indians
than the government. Education. she
said, does not Christianize the In

so much afraid of the Indians as they
are of some white people.
The missionaries teach the Indian

educated they educate the tribes. The
Indians don't want gold or land, they
want education, civilization and
