REV. Mr.. BARBOUR'S ADDRESS on
"OUR PROBLEM in PHILIPPINES"

is that our only means OF communication
with the common people IS by means or
these dishonest native officials. To on
set this think we should spread among
them literature printed In their own
tongue. and we should also revise the
qualifications for suffrage.
A RELIGIOUS PROBLEM
We have also a religious problem In
the islands. Did not Christianity al
attempt TO supplant the Christianity
there by introducing Protestantism?
do not think that the Roman Catholic
church would desire that the conditions
I'm the islands should be considered as
natural result OF their work i do not
upon the common people, who are not
found at Its services. do not think mat
there Is strong attachment for the
church on the part OF the upper class
people. The same Is true also OF the ma
tive priests. who are not allowed to come
held by the friars, who come from Spain
The people there do not know the gospel
as we know IL. Not one In 900 know OF
God as the creator of the world.
II have spoken OF the political issue and
the religious Issue as being closely. re-
lated. The supreme service rendered by
our government in the islands Is 10 have
served the missionary interests. This Is
wise, for the missionary. in turn, serves
the government. The missionary knows
the people and forms a channel between
the people and our government. The
movement has done more than
ANYTHING else 10 inform the natives or our
purposes and our civilization.
In conclusion DIR. Barber dwelt In an
optimistic way on the future OF the Phil-
ippines

From Farmers Review: The milk
MEN of Evansville, Indiana, have or
garlzed an association for the advance
ment of their interests. This associa'
ton, of which ]. c. Wallenmeyer is
secretary, co-operates with the city
food inspector in securing better sani-
tary conditions on the farms of its
members. Meetings are held regularly
at which prominent physicians Of the
city have delivered lectures on the
requisites for healthful milk for infant
feeding and family use. Veterinarians
discuss the prevention and care of dis
eases among dairy cows. At recent
public meeting one session was given
to the discussion of those phases Of the
subject which should interest the con-
sumers Of milk and cream. At the
second session, H. E. Van Norman, in
structor in dairying at Purdue Univer-
sity, lectured on selection and feeding
of the dairy cow, and care and hand
ling Of milk for city trade. The edu-
cational feature of this association s
efforts Is new one and cannot help
but improve the sanitary condition OF
milk delivered to city consumers. This
move is one that could be followed
with advantage by the milkmen Of otn-
err cities.-W. G. Latta, Purdue Uni
yerSity
