Missions Among Latin Peoples.-l

TNnlNIlN EdhNn TCOpICS.-l
Tim. 2:5; Heb. 10:19.22.
BY the Latin peoples we mean those
Roman Catholic nations among which
we have mission stations. They are
Italy, Mexico aId South America.
This does not include the island
populations which are under Roman
Catholic dominance, but they will be
studied under another topic. The field
is difficult one. Romanism throws
every possible obstacle in the way of
our success. And RomaIism is in
trenched in wealth, social prestige
and peculiar political power. AS diff
1cult as any heather field, there are
reasons why we believe that here we
will soon see some of the greatest
triumphs of the cross of Christ.
Our Italian Mission was begun in
1871 by Rev. Leroy NJ. Vernon, q
sCa-in-law of DIR. Charles Elliott, a
former editor of the Central Chris
tian Advocate, and an ardent advo-
cate of missions to the Roman Ca
tholic countries. We have had great
success in Rome when we consider
the obstacles we have encountered.
In Rome we have both "a American
and an Italian church, besides a
school which Is reaching the youth of
tnat city. DR.. William Burt, who has
been the successful superintendent OF
our Mission in Rome, has been elect
ed bishop and located in Europe,
where he can overlook the work. Out
side of Rome we have the Napels and
Bologna Districts, largely manned by
native preachers.
The Mexican Mission includes Mex
leo, Lower California and Central
America. Mexico is a republic, and
the church is Independent of the
state. securing toleration of all reli-
gions, while the Roman Catholic is
largely dominant. The population is
13,000,000 DR., William Butler found
ed our Mission here in 1872. We have
now in Mexico an Annual Conference,
with five presiding elders districts,
5000 members and probationers, be-
sides over 10000 adherents.
Nominally a Christian continent,
South America has too largely been
but baptized heathenism." Method
ism began her work here in 1896,
when Justin Spaulding was sent to
Rio de Janeiro and John Dempster to
buenos Ayres. The work has pro-
gressed with varying success until in
1897 the work was divided into the
two Cclferences-the South America,
including the east coast; and the
Western South America, including the
west coast. In the former we have
II missionaries and $500 members
and probatloners. In the latter we
have some 33 missionaries ald about
1000 members and probationors In
both mission fielfs we huve L.any
schools of all grades.

but the general result is better than
normal and far more satisfactory than
at tlns time in 1904.
Mercantile payments are fairly prompt
money is easy and abundant, while con.
hdence in the future is the ruling senti-
ment. The decline in Wall Street to the
lowest average for the sixty most active
railway securities since last January has
had no perceptible influence on business,
and railway earnings continue to make
favorable comparisons with last years
figures, the early returns for April show
ing a gain Of 81 per cent.
Manufacturing activity is unabaied,
the leading industries reporting a mini
mum percentage OF idle machinery, and
pig iron production is expected to estab-
lish a new record of over 100000 tons
for the current month.
Real estate transfers are very heavy
IN all parts OF the country, and in addi-
ton to the large amount Of building op-
erations In progress the number oil new
permimts indicate that much more struc-
tural work is contemplated. Little in
terruption from labor controversies IS
still cause for qualification.
There is still great pressure for quick
delivery of structural steel for bridges,
buildings and cars, while practically all
forms OF railway equipment arc in larger

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE:

How John u. Gougb, tho Greatest of
Temperance Orators. Won Hearing
Before the Hostile Students OF Oxford
University-A Bright Betort That Told
John b. Cough, the famous advo-
cate of temperance, went to Great Bri-
tain in compliance with numerous de-
mands from press and public. When
he appeared at oxford the college stu
dents undertook TO hiss him off the
stage, so determined were they that
temperance should not be preached
there. After enduring their Kisses and
cat-calls for about ten minutes he star
tied them all by saying: II can whip
every one of you. one at time"
This statement was cheered. and
then the young men began calling one
Of their chums to go UP on the stage.
Soon Cough saw young giant coming
toward him. As soon as he was In the
centre of the stage Cough shouted:
This is TO be an intellectual battle,
and not n physical one. Go on with
your speech"
This suited the college men. and they
began calling on their big fellow for a
speech. He responded by quoting the
eplstle TO Timothy, in which Paul rec
ommends "a little wine for thy stom-
ach's sake" and from this he deduced
an argument in favor of the use of
wine. When he had finished Cough
faced the audience and said: "This is
not an argument. but farce. Here is
young English giant. weighing al
most 200 pounds, who has never been
Sick In his life, who eats five pounds
of meat every day, and who can knock
down n bullock with blow of his fist.
standing here and talking about the
need of wine for his stomach's sake.
You'll have to send me another man."
Tho boys cheered Cough. and then
yelled for another man-this time e
senior and their ablest debater He
went to the platform and called atten-
ton TO the fact that Jesus turned
water into wine and advocated the use
of it, He delivered speech which
met with the approval of his fellow
colleglans, and they cheered him re-
peatedly. When he said lie had fin
ished, Cough said:
This Is just the kind of argument
that | came here to deliver, and was
delivering when You interrupted me.
You may drink all the wine YOU can
hold, provided it is made out of water,
as that wine was"
Cheer after cheer greeted Cough, and
he was permitted to go on with his
lecture. He said afterward that they
gave him greater applause than lie had
ever received from an audience OF
young men.-New York Tribune Maga.

Missions in Roman Catholic coun
tries. Ps. 81: ~.

One drawback in Roman Catholic
countries Is their ignorance Gods
way is not known there, and of cours
1t is not followed.
The Saving health" which the
Roman Catholic seeks, he seeks from
Images and ceremonies, instead Of
from the Great Physician.
In Roman Catholic countries II is
not 'the people" that worship, but
the priests that worship for tnem-
or are supposed to.
Righteous government Is almost un-
known in many Roman Catholic
lands; witness the deplorable civic
condition of South America.

We have read of an artist who saw in
the streets of Rome a beggar so ut

him to sit for his picture, as a typical
beggar. The next day he came to him.

clothes of a companion, in which to
have his portrait taken. The artist
did not recognize him; and on learning
that he was the beggar he had hired.
he said: mo! 1 hired a beggar, and

Low at Thine altar, Lord most high,
claim the ancient right
To lay my battered harness by
And trust Thy sacred might;
The foes, who follow on the track
Ny feet in fear have trod,
Hold from Thy silent threshold back:
Give Sanctuary, o Godl
Wounded and weary to the death
pass Thy temple doors,
Behind me murder pants for breath,
The hum of battle roars;
But where the peaceful candles shine
And drowsy censors nod,
Here in the stiffness Of Thy shrine
Give Sanctuary, o God!
Within the shelter OF Thy walls
The tumult fades away,
The wonder OF the Presence falls
About our hearts who pray,
Faint in the distance dies the din
OF legions iron shod
From vengeance at the heels OF sin
Give Sanctuary, o Godl
