we will give them complete educa-
ton, starting at the kindergarten and
rounding off with the finishing col
lege; we will not only give them a
secular literary education, but first
class musical education. If you will

That is the way we talk to the
man of Macedonia. No wonder he
cries to us, Come over and help u.s."
He likes all the good things we carry
to Macedonia" He wants more and
more. And he is getting it. The
missionaries are hustling now for
$200,000,OO0 to spend for "the man
Of Macedonia for themselves.
Come over and help us! And don't
forget the medicine and clothing. and
food and music teachers, and school
teachers, the doctor, the surgeon, and
the money. Be sure to remember
about the money!" That's what "the
man of Macedonia" means, in Korea,
in China, in Japan, in Hindustan
My dear Mr.. --, how can the
destitute classes of foreign lands re-
sist such tempting offers? Did Christ
win us to Him by making any such
offers? Did you and | join the church
on account of any such induce
ments? How shocked would any
community in this country be, if evan
gelists should come among our peo-
pie and propose to do for them-if
they would call themselves Christians
exactly what the missionaries pro-
pose to do for the heather, if the
heather will abandon his gods and
come to our God? From my view
point, we cruelty Christ afresh when
we degrade His religion in this way.
If the missionaries of Buddha,
COnfucius and Mahomet should come
among our destitute people, millions
of whom are actually suffering all the
time for lack of sufficiency of the
necessaries Of life, and make them
the very proposition which our mis-
sionaries make in Oriental countries,
these heralds from abroad would
gain ten Converts" where Christian
missionaries take one Mohammedan
from Mahomet, one Chinaman from
COnfucius, or one Hindoo from
Buddha.
l am perfectly conscientious in say
ing that I don't believe there has
ever been a sincere Chinese, japanese
or Hindoo converted. My opinion is
that if we withdrew the subsidies,
we would lose the hypocrites. At

OF CHRISTIANITY TO SEDUCE
THE PAGAN FROM HIS OWN RE-
LIGION BY TEMPTING HIM IN A
WAY THAT HE CAN NOT RESIST.
The missionaries refer, time and
again, to the ten thousand martyrs
that were killed in the Boxer rebel
lion Now, my dear sir, would you
like to know the facts about those
"martyrs?" They were just about
as truly worthy Of the name of mar
tyr as those Koreans were who were
the victims of the Quelpart massacre.
The Catholic priests had, by hook
or crook, secured from the Korean
authorities an exemption from taxa
ton for the Catholics Then they
went to the overtaXed Koreans and
tempted them by saying, "a conces-
sion has been granted to the Cath
olics exempting them from taxation;
if you confess the Catholic faith, you
will escape taxation" Great num-
bers of the Koreans-an utterly
worthless people-jumped at the bait.
great that the Koreans who remained
true to their government and ma
tional faith were wrought up to a
point of ungovernable rage against
these men. They regarded the Ko-
rean Catholics with the feelings that
Americans during the Revolutionary
War had for Benedict Arnold A
mob arose and furiously assailed
these hypocrites, who had escaped
Of taxation by processing to be Cath
olics. They were not given any
chance to return to the faith of their
fathers. The true Korean didn't
want them to return to the faith of
their fathers; the true Korean hated
them so bitterly that they simply
meant to kill them. They did not
believe that such recreants were fit
to live. The massacre ensued and, Of
course, the Catholics consider the vic
TINS of that massacre martyrs to
the faith. They were not martyrs to
the faith at all, for they had no
chance to recant and get back to the
positions they had deserted. Their
own people scorned to have them
come back.
Now, it was the same way in the
Boxer rebellion. The Catholic priests
had secured from the Chinese gov
eminent, by reason of pressure put
upon it by France, concession even
more monstrous than that which the
Catholics had secured in Korea. The
priests were given exclusive jurisdic-
ton over Catholic Converts The
Chinese government could not pun

fence whatever, if he were willing to

Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York, March 19.-R G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Most of tests by which trade activity is measured make favorable records Re ports from the principal cities are of generally hopeful character, but the fact remains there is still lacking that buoy ancy and readiness to make long commit ments ahead. The week has witnessed the introduction of a tariff bill making large cuts in duties on iron and steel and other products but apparently less is apprehended from this than from possible failure of Congress to heed the words of President Taft and get through with the tariff business as soon as possi- ble The coal trade is confronted with labor crisis. The iron trade continues in the process of price readjustment. though a slow revival in structural lines is a reflection of increased activity in build ing. Copper has accepted further de- preSsion.
 Much the important feature of the week in cotton goods has been the resumption of export demand Most of the business taken was by southern mills and the total volume placed thus far is estimated at 10000 bales or more, chiefly of three yard and 325 yard sheetings. This has re- suited in increased firmness on heavy goods of the coarser counts and quota tions show increased irregularity. Print CTS report little new business, while south ern ginghams continue to be active.
 Tn the woolen goods division clothiers are urging the early distribution of sam ples with view to going on the road the first week in April. Worsteds, both skein and piece dyed, are still in good demand with many requests for immediate delivery. Woolen and worsted yarns are moving slowly with no material change in quotations. Linen and jute yarns are strong and fairly active.
 New business in foot wear continues small, but some New England manufac- turers have reserve orders which will last then for some time. Trade in hidel shows considerable improvement. The de- mand for leather continues very slow, consumers only supplying their needs. Prices are weak, but Union backs are steady and there is some improvement in export demand for hemlock sole
 All kinds of upper stocks are dull.
 There is a suggestion of permanence in the slow but steady revival in struc- tural lines of iron and steel Demand is light in the wire trade but consider able inquiry has developed for pipe.

RATHER QUETER
 TONE IN TRADE Fair Business Is Reported In
 Many Lines COLLECTIONS ARE SMALL Reductions In Iron and Steel Have Brought Out Some New Business,
 But Trade Is Still
 Unsettled.

New York. March 19-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 The introduction of the new tariff bill in Congress and the advance of the spring jobbing season toward its close, have made for rather quieter tone in trade this week. A fair business is doing in nearly all lines. and the turn over is in excess of year ago at this date, but conservatism rules
 Spring jobbing activity has passed it's zenith, buying is only to cover imme- diate necessities. the results of easier trade at retail are awaited with inter est. collections are only fair and the volume of business done this spring so far is, in some respects, disappointing Jobbing trade seems to have quieted down at number of markets east and west
 Price reductions in iron and steel have brought out some new business, but un- settlement still rules. Pig iron stocks are accommodating and prices are weak The same Is largely true of other metals Additional reports of wage reductions come from iron and steel interests
 In the cotton goods line, the spring rush is over print cloths are quieter and bleached goods and cotton yarns are weaker, but an important revival in ex- port trade in cotton goods is noted. The leather trade Is quiet, as is also the mar ket for hides. Shoe manufacturers are approaching the end of the spring run. Eastern shipments are "A per cent larger than year ago.
