In thinking of the foreign missionary
work the great question arises before
us "Had we not better induce our mis-
sionaries TO stay home in our own land
and go to work? ?" The Thaw case in
all its horrors cites us to how many
more base creatures such rs Evelyn
Thaw have we? How many more Har
ny X. Thaws have we that can be pro
voked TO murderous jealousy by the
evil story of an evil mind of fairly
gOodlOoking woman, woman that new
er presented a beautiful thought dur
ing her existence, but posing TO bring
out the animal in human nature.
Can Mae MaclnZie or any of her kind
bring her out of her present thought
or manner of doing. For clinging to
MacInZie who is proven an Outcast, a
questionable woman. instead of coming
up to n higher altitude of thought
proves that Evelyn's past career was
just as she wished il to be. She did not
want to be IA good woman but a good
actress. Her cup has been filled. She
is frail nothing between two men, pro
ducing the greatest drama that has
been brought TO light upon this or pos
sibly any other country on the globe.
Can any weak intellect such as usu-
ally go ont TO foreign missions, reach
Evelyn Thaw the strategist, or her
kind? | say weak simply for the rea
son they are not well read. Our mis-
sionaries should be men and women
such as the judges of the supreme
benches, professors of our seminaries
and schools, and particularly theosophy.
Men and women of great minds wher-
ever found who live close to and closely
study the divine law, such as these can
reach the tenderloin districts of each
little hamlet at home Then from that
to each village, town, 10 the largest
cities, and say in mastery way what
is best for the frequenters of the Wal.
dOrph to do.
Come again TO the missionaries. Ask
them any question beginning at the
least of natures laws, such as the an
alysis of the air we BREATH or the water
we drink, which plays such a part in
our existence. Or how we get our sea-
sons; or why they are, or why we get
different cOlors from the same soil, or
why we have the rainbow, or what pro-
duces it, or why serene good life is
more essential than one filled with brain
storms. Or why is a pure mind in
woman betterat home attending strict
ly to her virtuous duty, than depraved
mind travelling over the face of the
earth with man other than her hus-
band.
Or a highly senstiZed mind in the
forest listening TO the sounds of the
leaves as they are stirred by gentle
breeze, and hearing the sweet strains
from the feathery songsters, and giving
thanks back to the Infinite Intelligence
for the privilege of doing so. Better
thou listen TO the great share of minis
tiers laboring so hard to get you to UNI
derstand superstition. OF all these
things our missionaries know but little.
But they will say with vengeance,
"Revenge is sweet saith the Lord"
That word revenge should be erased
from our language and entirely forgot
ten; and the word compassion more
thoroughly understood. While our
country is filled with horse thieves,
highway robbers, grafters in every in
stitutiOn, political pulls, murder pollu
tions, and our states prisons, insane
asylums, homes for the feeble minded,
as vast as they are, all flied TO over
flowing, let us in the name of good
common sense keep our pigmies at
home, until we ourselves come some
where near right thought and living,
before attempting to show our igno-
rance.
We are all shivering with the cold
same as you.
Theodore and Mrs. Wurzel will be at
home to their friends after this week.
