Fannin.
Hurrah for Fannin! II we do this
we'll now, what will we do when the
railroad comes?
We were delighted to have our two
old friends, s. f. and O. E. Afford,
Of Mayersville, with Us q few days
last week.
The celebration of Washington 8
birthday by our school was crowned
with success. Everybody, old and
young, came forward to lend their
presence and assistance in making the
day all, and more, than we had an
ticipated Superintendent Of Educa-
tion, Prof. Whitfield-our own Glen
ry," Of whom we are justly proud
came out from Jackson and made our
hearts glad with one of his best
lectures. We know he feels special
interest in this little obscure place.
called Fannin-for dear to our hearts
are the scenes Of our childhood. !"
The way in which he spoke of his
boy hood days was beautiful, and as q
child might sob on his mother 8
breast. so he, this great minded man,
let fall reverential tears on the soil of
his mother-town. We believe his
talk did much good, and caused the
people to rally to the cause of educa-
ton as they've never done before.
After Prof. Whitfield's lecture we had
other short talks that were much en-.
joyed. Then dinner on the ground.
At one O'Clock p. m. school meeting
was held and sufficient funds raised
to finish our eight months school.
At two O'Clock the children's ex-
ercises began. The program was
nicely and appropriately arranged by
our two splendid teachers. Prof. Fleet
O. Ratliff and Miss Foster, and credit
ably carried out by the children, each
Of whom deserves the mention Of their
name, but space forbids.
At 1880 the fun began-the box
social. All attended and greatly en-
joyed the evening. First, we had a
very laughable play, "The Bashful
Boy" by eight Of the eighth grade
pupils. All acquitted themselves
splendidly, especially "Mr. Blush. -
After the play we fished for suck
eIs' at cents q fish. Then came
the sale Of the boxes. The school
children's brought from 30 cents to
81 %, while the young ladies' brought
from 50 to $11.75. Mr.. Morton acted
as auctioneer, and with our jovial
friends, Floyd and Dino Afford to bid,
things were made lively. Mr.. Soul
ley and our home boys did well, too,
and we think Noble Brown deserves
credit for enjoying the eleven dollar
and seventy five cent box. He feels
indebted (?) to Cine Afford for the
swell supper. After the boxes were
sold beautiful cake, made by Mrs.
I. O. Brown, was voted to the most
popular young lady at cents VOTE
The cake brought $S4 90 and was pre-
sented to Miss Dora Lee, she receiv-
ing the greatest number of votes
This was last on the program. The
total amount collected during the day
was $4,000, one hundred and fifty of
which belongs to the school, and the
remainder, $120 90 will go to help on
the school library now being establish
ed by our teachers, to whom we owe
much for the splendid work they are
doing here, and for this day, the 22nd,

missionary. When it has CHANGED that
one of these evangelists has received
a larger salary than the regular pas
tor of the church itself, there has nat
urally been feeling.
1t must be remembered that the
missionary in Japan is not a pastor.
He has no congregational duties and
responsibilities, such as ordinarily are
borne by a preacher in America. Ev-
cry congregation has its own native
pastor and officers. These may con-
suit with the missionary, but he can
not boss" them. The preaching mis-
sionarys work is evangelistic; he
pioneers Christianity into new places.
In this he is assisted by evangelists,
who work under his personal super.
vision.
The money, however, is in the mis-
sionary's control. Not all the churches,
by any means, are self supporting.
They must look to America and Eng
land for help. With the control of the
money has gone, to greater or less
degree, voice in the direction of the
work. Right here comes the rub The
Japanese want to control the money,
and in some cases the missionary.
too. The talk is all of Cooperation, .
but 1t is not cooperation in which
the missionary plays almoner. In fact,
since the Japanese churches have
their own mission boards they feel
or, at least, an outspoken wing of
them feel-that the latter should have
the entire administration of mission
methods and money, with, of course,
the full counsel of the missionaries.
The Congregationalists have gone
practically thus far. The "Kumiai''
are practically Independent. The
American board makes to them an
annual grant of money for a specific
term of years, at the end of which
time, 1t is presumed, the churches will
have become self-supporting. The en-.
tire INDEPENDENCE movement faces to-
ward the day when the Japanese
churches will be "self-governing, self
supporting and self-propagating." The
missionaries of the American Board
very generally yield themselves to the
counsel of their Japanese associates
One man told me the other day that
in council with the native pastors
they had assigned him his work fol
the coming year. He says that he
finds this relation perfectly satisfac
tory and that the attitude of the jap
anese is in no wise dictatorial, but
that all are together seeking the one
end of the works welfare.
The Japanese Type of Christianity
All this is no mere racial jealousy
1t goes deep. Are the Japanese quail
fed for ecclesiastical self-government
as they have proved their fitness fol
political self-government? Akin t.

tucked sleeves should be cut ION the

half a dozen very small hooks and
eyes on the under seam near the
wrist.
Of the making of fringes, and Of
the wearing of same there is no end!
All the new linen frocks are trimmed
with fringes, and also with many tas-
sells, and superb fringes are posed on
evening gowns of crepe de chine, vel
vet and taffetas. With these fringes
bias folds of material are very much
used; indeed bias folds are playing
an important part in the fashions of
the hour Frequently they are of the
same material as the skirt, but some
times they are of velvet and of satin
in a slightly deeper tone of color.
Graduated bands of velvet ribbon run
the bias folds very close, as a skirt
trimming, but the ribbons belong, al
most exclusively, to the world of
robes d'intereur, whilst bias folds
are lavishly used on dinner gowns.

What blessing the new rucked
sleeves are for girls with thin arms!
Given the right description of lace, or
chiffon, and moderate care in the mat
ter of construction, these sleeves can
not fail to be becoming to the arms
and hands! Yes, very specially the
latter, because sleeves which reach

way of making the hands look wonder
fully small and white.
Evening gowns, for quiet parties, of
black mousseline de sole, look fasci-
mating when made in the pinafore
style, with the bodice drawn up over
a transparent blouse of ivory point
d'Esprit. This blouse should be cut
a little low at the neck, with bebe
ribbons run through a soft tucker of
chiffon, and the sleeves should be
finely rucked from shoulder to wrist.
A gown of this genre, with waist

and a touch of blue at the breast,
could not fail to look charming, and
it would be exactly the rich thing for
dinner wear at one of the big hotels
or restaurants.
1t is important to realize that
tucked sleeves should fit the arms
tightly, or practically so; in fact, the
pressure of the material on the arms

sensitive and proud. 1t resents with
bitterness and sarcasm being called
a heather" nation, and thus being
classed with the natives of Africa and
the South Sea Islands. Equally is it
averse to remaining under foreign
control and tutelage in it's religious
life. The sentiment which caused the
abolition of eXtra-territorial political
rights to foreigners, and which to this
day leads the Japanese prints to
speak of the foreign communities as
former settlements" is keenly alive
to what is felt to be an attitude of
superiority on the part of the mission
aries.
Underlying the problem, also, is the
ingrained and ineradicable Anglo-Sax-
on sense of superiority to other races.
/ myself have seen enough to warrant
the belief that there is ground for the
Japanese sensitiveness on this SUBJ

themselves toward the Japanese
preachers and Christians as toward
a man, brother and an equal Such
men are few, but they should be
called home. Their usefulness here is

Toxic, Japan-That many or most
Japanese Christians say no more for
eign missionaries are wanted in Japan,
and that numbers of the strongest
missionary leaders agree with them,
at least to the extent of saying that
no new forces should be sent out for
the present, is the rather sensational
conclusion to which l have been
forced after six weeks study of the
missionary situation here.
A grave crisis confronts the mis-
sions in Japan. How serious 1t is
the church people in America have
no conception. That an open rupture
between the missions and the Jap
anese churches has been narrowly
averted, and is still dangerous pos
sibility, is freely admitted on all Sides
The gravity of the situation is recog-
nized by everybody concerned. 1t
affects present religious conditions in
the empire, but, more important still,
it has bearing upon the future of
Christian missions in almost every
country In the world. The questions
that are up for settlement here and
now will constitute a precedent for
all other mission lands. The very
magnitude of the crisis has sobered
all parties concerned, so that the bit
terness and hostilities which marked
the earlier stages of the controversy
are passing away, and on every side
the extreme views are being modified

divisions of American ChriStendom
cannot be perpetuated here.
The present enrolled membership
of the Protestant churches of Japan,
by the way, is about $4,000, the past
year showing an apparent decrease
through an error, it is claimed, in the
statistics. Long before the churches
of American got together in New
York in the Interchurch Confer
ence on Federation, there existed a
soundly established federal organiza-
ton here, 'the Standing Committee of
Cooperating Missions" which has eff
fected several practical results, in

churches.
Where the Conflict Comes.
The paradoXical statement is true,
broadly speaking, that while the rela-
tons between the individual mission
airy and the individual Japanese Chris
tian have been cordial, the relations
between the missions and the native
churches have been strained.
The crux of the question has been
the control of the forces and the
funds. The missionary and his per-
sonal helpers have worked in and for
the local congregations, but the latter
have had no control over them. The
missionary is entirely outside the Ju-
risdiction of the native church. He
works when and where and how he
pleases, or as his mission directs. So,
too, the evangelists employed by the
missionary are governed in the matter
