AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY
ABROAD

In the recent killing of number of
American missionaries at Lieuchau
China, Hong Kong dispatch puts this
aspect on the Incident
The Lieuchau massacre was due to
the unhappy action Of Mrs Machle,
who, on the refusal of some Of the
members OF a native procession to de-
sist from worshiping the idols they
carried, seized the idols and declined
to restore them to the owners. There
upon the Infatuated professionals sur
rounded and destroyed the mission and
attacked the inmates. They then MUIR
dered them and threw their bodies into
the river. The mob did not interfere
with six French priests who lived in
the neighborhood.
We must say that taking into consi-
deration the cOntempts for the feel
ings and rights of dark-skinned races
so sedulOusly cultivated in the, United
States as to have received the sanction
OF the Courts and the Christian church.
there is nothing improbable in the fore
going dispatch. Mrs. Machle's zeal
for God was not according to knowl-
edge; and. naturally provoked. though
1t did not Justify the horrible result

MUST FIGHT FOR SUCCESS

Many man has tried to justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them up and
play the game, and that no effort,
however great, on his part could ma
terially change the result, says a
writer in Success. But, my young
friend, the fate that deals your cards
is in the main your own resolution.
The result of the game does not rest
with fate or destiny, but with you.
You will take the trick if you have
the superior energy, ability and deter
mination requisite to; take it You
have the power within yourself to
change the value of the cards which,
you say, fate has dealt you. The game
depends upon your training, upon the
way you are disciplined to seize and
use your opportunities and upon your
ability to put grit in the place of SUI
perior advantages.
just because circumstances do
sometimes give clients to lawyers and
patients to physicians, put common
place clergymen in uncommon pulpits,
and place the sons of the rich at the
head of great corporations even when

AN INSIDIOUS ENEMY.

The Afro-American of the North
would be very grateful to Bishop Gallo
way of Mississippi if he would stay at
home and prOmulgate his race theories
in Vardamanland.
In an address to the students of
Northwestern University. he said that
lynching is inhuman and un-Christian.
That much is all right. but when he
went further and said that the MAORI
ty OF the Afro-Americans should have
manual training. he is wrong.
THE APPEAL believes that the
Atro-American should have the same
training that,,the Caucasian receives.
Continuing the bishop said:
-Four facts must be considered as es-
tablished in dealing with this question.
|. There can never be any comming-
ling of the races.
2. The AfrO-American will be edu-
4 Gated in his own schools and worship
in his own churches.
3. Political power will remain in
present hands.
4. The great body of the Afro Ameri-
cans are here to stay"
After laying down the foregoing pro-
positions Bishop Galloway had the
nerve to say: 1--WE must insist that the
Afro-American have every opportunity
to develop that is accorded any other
citizen
AS to the first proposition. there is
commingling of the races all over the
country In the South it is usually
Illicit. while in the North it is both
Illicit and legitimate.

box and found in it half dozen fat
snails. 1t was the same satirical own
er who on another occasion presented
his jockey with sumptuous casket,
which on being opened disclosed
wooden spoon, and to- a third jockey
who had failed to win an important
race he handed a pair of clutches
bought from a beggar on the course.
When John Singleton, clever jock
ey of nearly two centuries ago, first
won race in Yorkshire the farmer
whose horse he had ridden to victory
was so delighted with his achievement
that he made him present of eve,
whose offspring soon mustered a
round dozen, and really started the ex-
shepherd lad on his career as jock
ey. Singleton was very proud of and
grateful for his singular fee.
In this respect he furnished great
contrast to well-known jockey who,
when a check for $1,000 was handed
to him by the owner G.. a horse on
which he had won race. crumpled it
up contemptuously with the remark
that he had "often received more for
riding a 2-year-old."

Replying to the Infamous utterances
OF Tillman, Vardman, Hef1in. Graves.
and other Southern fre-eaters, Sen
ator Hopkins said:
The ark OF AnglO-SaXOn civiliZa-
ton has not been intrusted exclusively
to the Bourbon Democrats of the
South. Neither is the sanctity of the
home reverenced exclusively by polit-
ical leaders who now control the des-
TIMES of the old slaye-holding common
Wealths. I take it that both these are
dear to the American people, irrespec-
tive OF section and Of political affilia-
tons.
1T seems to me that if the South
persists in it's present attitude it will
inevitably degrade the Afro-American,
taking from him all incentive to high
endeavOr and croWding him down into
the darker places and compelling him
always to tread level lower than that
troden by his white countrymen
And that thought brings me to the
cruX of this question. namely. that the
Democratic party is foisting upon the
country policy which will result in
our having in this nation two great
classes-the one riding upon the backs
OF the other. and the strength of the
whites depending upon the supineness
OF the blacks. Lincoln said that the
nation could not continue half slave
and half free

Poles, and grayish colors predominant
in it. Their language, has great SINH
larity to the Sanskrit The popular
poetry of both the Let's and Lith-,
uauinans is, rich in both idyllic and
lyric songs, imbued with the tenderest
love and. melancholy and most po-
etical feeling for nature, and are re-
markable for their absolute chastity.
The national character is fully ex-
pressed in them-not warlike at all,
but melancholy and sociable. In the
Lettish song there is an added char
acteristic, the hatred which the peo-
pie feel toward the German landhold-
ers.
Despite the fact that the people are
either Lutherans or Roman or Greek
Catholics, the names of the old pagan
divinities, very numerous in their for
mer mythology, are continually men
toned in songs and also in common
speech. The forests of Livonia and
Kurland have played an important
part in their history. Their chief
priest worshiped in the forests, the
people brought their offerings to their
divinities at the foot of mighty oaks.
and even~during the fourteenth cen
tury the ''zincz," an inextinguishable
fire, was maintained. To this day
traces of the worship of oak trees
may be seen.

WHISKY BOTTLE IN ARCHIVES

A whisky bottle is filed away with
care among the archives of the Ha-
.Wallan government, as are also two of
the nodding chicken feather helmet
ad[ornments formerly worn by King
kalakaua on state occasions The
bottle is certainly unique "docu-
ment' for the archives, but a written
statement across the face of the label
shows that it played an important
part in the revolution of 1895. when
the attempt was made to overthrow
the republic and restore the queen to
her throne.
In bottle is. an ordinary one, with
bullying cork, and is about half full

Or another, no one in the capitol is

The laws Of the South encourage H.
licit relations and they are illogical
inhuman and un-Christian.
The laws of the South which make
the Afro-Americans pariah class and
force them to attend inferior separate
school are illogical, inhuman and I'M
Christian"
The statement that political power
will remain in present hands is proba-
bly, true but that is no justification of
hellish means which have been used to
steal away the civil rights of the Afro
American people and it is too much to
say that the race will forever submit
to the inhuman and un-Christian treat
ment it is now receiving.
The last proposition is absolutely
true. The Afro-Americans are here to
stay and the intelligent ones will re-
sist to the bitter END, the attempts of
the Vardamans and Galloways to keep
them down.
Vardaman and Galloway are not far
apart: Vardaman would give little
education. Galloway thinks the mass
es of the race should have little more
than the rudiments of education.
Galloway is more dangerous man
than Vardaman, whose theories are
present in such brutal frankness that
they shock his northern hearers On
the contrary Galloway with his smooth
periods can do the race incalculable
harm.
In a nutshell his idea is that the
AfIo-American should not be lynched;
in all other respects he should be an
alien in the land of his BIRTH

We're dispatched to Bertelmann's place
and put on guard. It was a strenuous
time. One night when the guards
were being changed every hour, so
that no sentry would have an oppor-
tunity Of falling asleep, the officer in
charge is said to have sent for some
not coffee. This would aid in keeping
the soldiers awake. The coffee came.
Also a bottle of whisky was brought
along. The, officers said the men
could drink coffee, but not whisky. It
was suggested that whisky might be
put in sthe coffee. No. 1t might make
them drowsy. But it happened that
one of the soldiers drank some whis-
ky. He fell asleep half an hour after
ward and did not wake until the next
morning about daylight. He was
shaken several times during the night
but he was in a deep, heavy slumber
and could not be awakened
The bottle of whisky was kept in
the camp. The contents are, and prob
ably will remain untouched, for there

that the contents were. and may be

they have only average ability and
scarcely any experience, while poor
youths with greater ability and more
experience often have to fight their
way for years to obtain ordinary sit
uations, are you justified in starting
out without a chart or in leaving a
place for luck in your program? What
would you think of the captain of a
great liner who would start out to
sea without any port in view and trust
to luck to land his precious cargo
safely?
y Did you ever know of strong
young man making out his life pro-
gram and depending upon chance to
carry out any part Of it? Men who
depend upon ''luck" do not think it
worth while to make thorough prep
aration for success. They are not
willing to pay the regular price for it.
They are looking for bargains. They
are hunting for short cuts to success.
Power gravitates to the man who
knows how. Luck is the tide, moth
ing more. The strong man rows with
it if it makes toward his port; he
rows against it if it flows the other
way"
