DR.. BRADY
LECTURER
Noted Author Speaks at Ep.
iscopal Church.
e vi
FOREIGN MISSIONS
Was the Topic Selected by
the Speaker.
Valuable Information Given to
Rather Small Audience, Thurs.
day Evening.

That there was small audience to
greet DR.. Cyrus Townsend Brady at
the St. Paul's Episcopal church
Thursday evening cast no dis
credit to the name OF the eminent
author and preacher, considering the
various amusements of the evening.
DIR. Brady took for his theme,
Modern Heroes" or "Foreign Mis-
sions." He spoke very inter estingly
of conditions in the various islands
and countries in which missionaries
are stationed and highly eulogized the
modern missionary. He disputed the
statement frequently made that 1t
takes dollar to carry a dollar to
the heather, for the salary OF every
person, who Is engaged in handling
1T, is extremely meager.
"There was time," said DR.. Brady
when every white man in the ORR
lent was considered a Christian.
There are many in the United States
|who cannot be classed as Christians
Some are found to be real Christians
and others have not the slightest
claim to such title. The man, who
Is a successful missionary. must have
a smile on his face and then the for
leIgners will know that he Is the real
Christian Those who go to the des-
ert islands and endure the hardships
lof the battle are the only true
christians" said the speaker.

DR.. Brady related how a mission
ary in Cuba lived on $3.50 a year. He
had four schools under his supevi-
sion, thirteen missions, one mule
and a family increasing one and two
each year. That's what call really
heroic" said the speaker, forcefully.
Moreover. he cannot engage in any
secular business or in any which
might bring profit to the family.
Turning to Japan. DR.. Brady said
that the conditions in Japan as a
whole were just az bad as when, Per-
ry's guns sounded at its door. The
great majority Of the people are Just
plain little heathen. ia The Chinese
are just the same. They all live in
extraordinary ignorance of the things
which pertain to the soul. Japan Is
In such a financial state that she is
being taxed to DEATH" said the speak
er. The prices are high to say the
least The purchasing power of the
money in Japan has been cut forty
per cent during the past two years.
In Japan as an instance OF the prices
of ordinary products Dr.. Brady said
That butter costs from eighty-fve
cents to one dollar pound. They
eat butter on their bread on Christ
mas and New Years and the rest OF
the time they eat dry bread. DR..
Brady mentioned the heroism Of those
missionaries, who leave this land to
live under such conditions
In turning to China DR.. Brady
spoke OF certain missionary in this
country. who went to China and after
remaining there for a. time, set AZ the
arduous task Of translating the Bible
into the literary Chinese language
which is read by more people than
read the English and the German
language. The world owes such men
a debt, which 1t can never pay.
Inc speaker spoke OF the lady mis-
sionaries. whose valor and herojsm
exceeds that of the men. ..If the
women kept silence in the churches
the churches would be closed" said
the speaker. In this connection DR..
Brady spoke Of the methods pursued
,,py the missionaries in civilizinp the
Esquimo. He is first taught TO wash
ms hands and then it is hoped that
ne VIII have a pure heat. Soon. thev
are taught to bathe themselves. The
reason why many OF our first Y. M.
lC. A. enterprises failed at the be-
ginning was because those who were
Drought In were pleaded with to have
their souls saved. when what thew
needed was a bath.
DR.. Brady in closing his address
urged that all give literally to the
cause, which was worthy. He related
an instance where in New York a
banquet was being held. Addresses
had touched on the condition of the
poor OF the great city. One man
arose and sedately gave a. toast. Three
cheers to the poor Of New York" he
said. Dr.. Brady urged that the peo.
pie be willing to give more than
three cheers to the heroic missionaries
In the old world.

Serate and Lords.

The British house of lords is sur
vival of the ancient aristocracy of the
kingdom, which for a long time was
supreme in all national matters. When
the democratic sentiment won a place
for itself in the shape of the house of
commons the natural and apparently
indestructible conservatism of the Brit
ish people held on to the house of. lords
as check upon the commons and a
perpetual reminder of the ancient insti-
tuition. The senate of the United States
was the result of the compromise
struck between the Nationalists and
States Rights parties in the convention
that formed the constitution. Some
were for merging the representatives
In single body, while others insisted
upon the second chamber (the senate,
as a recognition of the political equality
of the states.
