CHRISTIAN MISSIONS
AND CIVILIZATION
Boxer War Not Caused by Inter-
ference of Missionaries.
Mr.. Taft Speaks on Subject of
Missions from Personal
Experience.

William III. Taft believes In the eX-
tension of Christian missions, and that
the work of Christian Missionaries is
advancing civilization.
In an address delivered by him at
Carnegie Hall, New York City, April,
1908, among other things Mr. Taft
said:
Until l went to the Orient. until
there were thrown on me the RESPONSE
bilities with reference to the extension
of civilization in those far distant
lands, | did not realize the immense
Importance of foreign missions Tile
truth is we have got to wake up in
this country. We are not all there is
in the world. There are lots beside us,
and there are lots Of people besides us
that are entitled to our effort and our
money and our sacrifice to help them
on in the world. No man can study
the movement of modern civilization
from an utterly impartial standpoint
and not realize that Christianity and
the spirit of Christianity is the only
basis for the hope of modern civiliZa-
ton and the growth of popular self
government. The spirit of Christianity
is pure democracy. 1t is the equality
of man before God, the equality of man
before the law, which is, as | under
stand it. the most God-like manifesto
ton that man has been able to make.
Religion and Political Government.
II am talking practical facts about
the effect of religion on the political
government, and / know what l am
talking about. Connected with every
successful foreign mission is school,
ordinarily an industrial school. Also
they teach the native that cleanliness
is next to Goodness and that one bust
ness of his is TO keep himself healthy,
and so in connection with every good
foreign mission they have hospitals
and doctors. And, therefore, the mis-
sion makes a nucleus of modern civili-
cation, with schools, teachers and physi-
clans and the church. In that way.
having educated the native. having
taught him how to live, then they are
able to be sure that they have made
him a consistent Christian.
1.-TWO or three things make one i'm
patient when he understands the facts.
One is this criticism of the missionaries
as constantly involving the governments
in trouble, as contantly bringing about
war; The truth is that Western civili-
baton In trade is pressing into the
Orient and the agents that are sent
forward, am sorry to say, are not the
best representatives of Western civil
cation. 1t is not human nature that
they should resist the temptations that
not infrequently present themselves to
get ahead of the Oriental brother In
business transactions They generally
are quite out of sympathy with spirit
of brotherhood toward the Oriental ma.
tlves. Even in the Philippines that
spirit is shown, for while was there
| can remember hearing on the streets
sung by gentleman that did not agree
with my view of our duty toward the
Filipinos:
"He may be brother of William 81
= IT,
But he amt no brother Of mine"

FREIGHT CARS NEEDED.
Improving Business Causes Demand
for More Freight Cars.

In the early spring-April lit
was stated that 413,G05 freight cars
were standing idly on side tracks. On
June "a it was officially reported that
this number had been reduced to 313,-
29S. And now we see that, not only
nearly every car capable Of haulage is
in commission, but that 5000 new ones
have been ordered from the various
shops of the East and West.
This is an encouraging sign. 1t dem
Cnstrates that the little panic we found
in the commercial districts few
months ago has entirely disappeared
Confidence is restored. Real estate

Prnnf of PrnSDerity.

A striking proof of the recovery OF
The business interests of the country
from the effects of the financial panic
Of 1907 is the simple statement recent
ly sent out as news item from New
York City concerning The Trust Com
pany of America. The item states that
the trust company upon which sen
sational run was precipitated during
the financial panic of 1907, aas man
aged its business so successfully as to
be able to pay off the loan of $25,-
100000 which 1t then effected, in its
entirety. The company in point of as
sets and liabilities was the second
largest in the country, and the run
which it successfully sustained exceed.
ed any ever known in the history OF
America.

Civilization ParalleIinR Trade.

"Hence it Is that in the progress Of
civilization we must move along as
trade moves; and as the foreign mis-
sions move on 1t Is through the for
eign missions that we must expect to
have the true picture Of Christian
brotherhood presented to those natives,
the true spirit of Christian sympathy.
That is what makes, in the progress of
civilization, the immense Importance of
Christian missions You go into China
to-day and try to find out what the con-
ditions are in the interior-consult In
Picking the gentlemen who are supposed
to know, and where do they go? They
go at once to the missionaries, to the
men who have spent their lives far adj
vanced into the nation, far beyond the
point Of safety IL any uprising takes
place, and who have learned by associa.
ton with the natives, by living with
them, by bringing them into their
houses, by helping them on to their
feet who have learned the secret OF
what Chinese life is.
"Now you can read books-I have
read them-in which the missions are
described as most comfortable build
ings; and 1t Is said that missionaries
are living more luxuriously than they
would at home, and therefore they dc
not call for our support or sympathy
| 1t is true that there are a good many
mission buildings that are handsome
| buildings; | have seen them. 1t Is
| true that they are comfortable; but
they ought to be comfortable. One OF
the things that you have got to do with
the Oriental Is to fill his eye with some
thing that he can see, and IL you erect
great missionary building, he deems
your coming into that community OF
some importance. But II is not life
of ease; it is not life Of comfort and
luxury. These men are doing grand
good work. | do not mean to say that
there are not exceptions among them
that sometimes they do not NEEDLE IL
something which 1t would be better fol
them from polite move to keep out
of; but | mean as a whole, these mis-
sionaries in China and In other coun
tries worthily represent the best Chris
tian spirit Of this country"

he did so in 1900. He put himself
strongly on record in favor of Taft in
long letter published in the Williams

The underground flood in 1905 cut of fur ther development there, however, and nearly drowned the mine before It was under control IL has taken three years to get the west country in shape to resume operation, and while the limits in this West country ore boay has been penetrated on the 10th, 11th and 14th levels by means of crosscuts from the old workings. The 10th ana 11th level ores are oxides. Those on the l4th are sulphides.
 More recent underground develop ment has encountered another big ore body 1000 or 1900 feet to the east running into the United Globe terri tory. While the West country ore body does not extend above the SOO- foot level, this new ore body may run 10 the surface, as this ground has never been prospected.
 Both these ore bodies, so far as de- veloped, have shown up as high grade ore as heretofore found in the mine, and both bodies bid fair to be as large f not larger than the old ore booy, which has already contributed 20O,- 100000 pounds of copper to the worlds supply.

 And no place in the west will tae return of Thanksgiving be @ source of more general rejoicing than in Bis bee. The day will be a happy one be cause of the return of better condi- tions. The clouds which have huns low upon the business and commer. cial horizon have been slowly dissi pat!ng and through the riffs are dart. ing the long slanting rays of return ing prosperity.

The tramp, tramp, tramp of the army of employees Of this district coming and going from shift, Is an eloquent commentary on the contentment and industry and the assurance of the greater future of this camp.

The claims are located alongside the Rock Island track, so that there VIII be no transportation problems to solve in case the find proves valuable one. During their stay the party located five different veins of coal. The sam ples show the coal to be of the bitumi- nous variety, possibly a Ignite. IL burns very readily from ignition by the flame of match.
 Under the laws of the United States governing coal finds, it is neces- sary for parties taking up such claims to pay $1 an acre, and to do $5,0OO worth of development work the first year.
 Quail and rabbits were so plentiful that Messrs. Hill and Irwin killed more than they could eat without leaving the camp. Game of this va riety was found by them in abundance in all parts of the country they tIayersed.
