WASHINGTON LETTER.

For the first time probably in the
history of public charities has the
President of the United States inter
ested himself personally and officially
in their conduct. This record was
made by President Roosevelt Friday,
when he attended an important con
ference at the White House with
Sneaker Cannon, Senator Allison, Rep.
resentative McCleary and members Of
the District Board Of Charities, and
discussed with them the control of the
local charities. The system of public
charities in the District Of Columbia
is one Of the most efficient in the
country, but many of its best advisers
have considered that it was weakened
by the fact that the entire control Of
all the local charities is not vested in
the Board of Charities under the di-
reetion of the Board of the District
Commissioners, and that purely pri-
vate charities are subsidized by Con-
gress instead Of being paid under con-
tract for such work as is done by them
for the District charities proper. The
quarrel is of course a local ofiair, but
the question of the proper admins
tration Of municipal charities is one
in which every city is interested, and
the attention given it by the President
indicates that he will be eager to es-
tablish a precedent that will be Of as
sistance in the government Of charita-
bic institutions and societies through
out the country.

York Churchnaan, that the inherent DIFF
ference between the occidental and oriental
mind interposes a barrier 10 our full under
standing Of Jesus and Of the Bible. Many
Intelligent people would assent to the idea
that scholarly Hindu would be peculiarly
equipped by temperament TO interpret Jesus
to US. The error lies In the assumption that
all orientalism Is one and the same thing.
OF the Semiticsrace which created the Old
Testament, the civilization and the whole
-phiicsophlc and religious system of Pales-
tine. we ind q vastly closer relation to the
thought and civilization of Greece and
Rome than to that of India or Japan From
the standpoint OF India Jesus was an oc-
cidental far more than from our standpoint
he was an oriental. Historically, our civil
ization Is dependent on and developed from
that civilization to which He belonged. His
tortcally, there Is no connection between
the peculiar civilization. philosophy and re-
ligton of India and the civilization and re-
ligfon Of Palestine. Quite aside from our
preconceptions and from those theological
developments which have become part of
our conception of Him, 1t is easier for Amer
leans today to understand and interpret
Jesus and the Bible than for the men Of
Hindustan. On the other hand, precisely
because of these preconceptions, which
have become part of our religion, India or.
more probably, China or Japan may yet
bring something of value to the better and
truer understanding OF Jesus. not because
He was oriental but because they may
come to Him free from our hereditary
prejudices."

CAMP MEETING TRUSTEES ACT.
Washington Grove Association Denies
Rumor of Sanitarium.

b. The trustees of the Washington Grove
Camp Meeting Association, an organization
of prominent members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of this city, have taken
action looking toward correction of the
impression held I'M some quarters that a
tubercular sanitarium is to be located at
the grove. According to the secretary of
the board. DIR. d. e. Wiber, who was
authorized to make a statement in regard
to the matter, the publication of stories
about the sanitarium, connecting 1t with
Washington Grove. are entirely ''mislead-
ing and incorrect"
For many years" said DR.. Wiber. the
association has owned this tract of land,
about 225 acres in size 1t runs along both
sides of the railroad tracks, and is con-
trolled by board of trustees. This de-
IiEhtfulIy situated suburb has been noted
for its healthy surroundings and the purity
of the water supply. Nothing Is permitted
to interfere with the order of things, and
to permit the location of a sanitarium of
any character on the grounds has never
been considered for a moment.
.'Tubercular patients are not allowed to
reside at Washington Grove at any time,
as an ordinance to that effect prevails
"a sanitarium has been proposed at
Fairview, about a mile from the railroad
station. and this may have been con-
founded with Washington Grove: but II
has no connection whatever with the
grounds owned and controlled by the as

work is given
This work has been an arduous one,
and the laborers have often gone almost to
the limit of their strength, but they have
never been forsaken; on the contrary they
have been richly blessed, both spiritually
and materially, and the way has at no time
seemed especially dark but that their
necessities have been generously supplied.
The mission began its existence In Sep

ductors home, then in a vacant room with
rough boards on empty boxes for benches.
