feel that 1t Is our duty to go into that line
of work. Orphanages are little different
and we hope to do a good work in that
form at an early date. The war and its
attendant rupture of domestic and social
relations have left many children hope
lessly adrift. and in little better position
than slaves in families too glad to get their
unreQuited toll"
Hence the Methodists going in for
converts and are leaving educational and
charitable work to the government and
other denominations. There is plenty for
them all to do. While 100000 of the popu-
lation of the archipelago are called Chris
tians. that is only a term used to distin-
guish them from Mohammedans and saw
in need of grace as any sinners in the
world. The missionary representatives Of
the American churches in the Philippines
are a high class of men, devoted to their
work. possessed of ability and energy as
we'll as piety, and their only weakness is
their limited numbers and lack of funds.
