BONI TAKES CHILDREN.
Does Not Want Boys to Be Step
sons of Helie de Sagan.

NEW YORK, July A special cable
today to the New York Times says that
under rather sensational circumstances
Count Boni de Castelane has just OBJ
tanned possession of his two boys. who
were awarded by the French courts TO
their mother, Nine. Anna Gould, at the
time of the divorce. Count Boni was
ready to go to any length to keep the
children, and thus prevent their becoming
teh Stepchildren of his deadly enemy,
Prince Helie de Sagan. who recently &C
comTanied Nine. Gould to London.
The children didn't go to London with
their mother She left them at her hotel
in Versailles. under the guard of their
tutor and a number of servants. Tues
day she sent a servant from London
specially to bring the children from
France.
Learning of their projected removal
Count Boni Immediately drove to Yer
sailles in high-powered motor car The
divorce decree permitted him the right TO
keep the children month in every
year Although the legal date of this
visit was still remote, it is stated that
Bonl made such urgent demands that
the frightened tutor was forced to yield.
and within a few minutes the children
were hurried to the waiting automobile.
1t Is understood they are now in the
keeping of BOni's parents.
Every effort is being made to keep the
facts of the affair secret.
Inc IdStelfdne ClllluTSu dTG Dull. ten
years old; Georges. eight years, and Jay,
five years. The two eldest are blond. with
blue eyes. The youngest, who is with
his mother. has curly brown ringletS and
brown eyes. All three were born in
France, and under the French law are
French subjects until they attain their
majority. when they can change their
citizenship by going to live elsewhere.
Under the terms of the divorce decree
they passed entirely into the custody of
their rNO1h her he taken
their paternal grandmother's house to see
their father at certain times. They were
not to be taken out of France without
their fathers consent. Count Boni
threatened. as soon as the marriage banns
We're published, to bring suit for their
recovery on the ground that Sagan was
not fit person to be their stepfather.
Their tutor is the Able Noise Caynac
a Catholic priest. He is a young man,
and is said to have agreed to assume the
responsibility of his position over them
only on the condition that he could ad
minister corporal punishment.

the question is brought home to every
Christian in our nation to what shall
be done in regard to the religious life or
those newcomers. 1t relates their charac-
teristics and abilities their experience I'm
reaching here. where they live. and what
is needed.
As to the Ethnic Faiths.
" The ethnic faiths. says Mr.. Brookman.
are dying or are dead The question is
often asked is il necessary for the mis-
sionary to fight Buddhism. Hinduism.
and other non-Christian religions Not
only is IL unnecessary TO fight them. but
all the missionaries in eastern Asia today
could not keep them alive il they would.
Their mummed forms fall 10 dust when
exposed To the free air OF the present day.
The whole spirit OF Christianity is pro-
EreSsive. aggres sive and modern The
whole spirit of the old orient was conser-
vative. passive. backward. so that the
missionaries heretofore not only had TO
fight sin. but had to resist the whole at
ttude and tendency OF the people among
whom he was working. The new spirit OF
the orient is largely the spirit of the
west.
Il am Only limiting at some OF the things
to be revealed TO the Christian seeking
light. who enters upon mission study. In
all denominations. the man who seeks
money from congregations for missionary
work has been far too unwelcome. and
has chilled too many religious services.
He often could not hold the people talk
ing about the missionary interests. and
the best sermon he could preach would be
robbed of its interest If IL was followed
By an appeal for missions.
If every Universalist understood the
mission of the Christian church in gem
eral. and that. necessarily. OF his own
church I'm particular, he would not be-
