A Letter TO the Father of a Young
Lady Missionary

letter may be inferred from the fol-
lowing answer to IT'D
My Dear Sir:-Your favor receiv-
ed. AS gentleman, I, of course, sin
cerely regret that anything which was
published in The Jeffersonian hurt
your feelings, or those of any member
of your family.
Your daughters name appeared in
your home paper, from which 1 took
it. No disrespectful reference to her
was intended. She having become a
foreign missionary, has assumed
quasi-public character; consequent
ly is was perfectly legitimate to dis
cuss her choice of lifework.
AS perhaps you know, I have been
very earnestly and persistently try
ing to impress upon our people the
necessity for return to the Pauline
mission method-that is, the simple
preaching of the gospel and the or
ganization of churches which in
themselves would become proselyt-
ing centers. In the time of the apos-
ties, each church which they organ
lied became the nucleus of other
churches.
1t is more than probable that
those who worked and talked with
Christ, and heard from His own lips
His instructions about what the mis-
slonary was to do, understood our
Master better than such men as Bish-
op Bashford and DR.. Burrows? IF
THE PAULINE SYSTEM WAS
WRONG, WHY DID 1T TAKE THE
MISSIONARIES EIGHTEEN HUN
DRIED YEARS TO FIND TT OUT?
England was not converted to
Christ as we are trying to convert
China; Ireland was not won to the
Cross by the way which we are now
trying to win Japan; Europe was not
added to Christendom by the meth
DDS which we are applying to India.
All of the mighty triumphs of the
Cross--thOse triumphs which were
miraculous and which are today the
wonder of historians-Were the re-
suits of the Pauline methods. Peter,
James, John, Paul, Barnabas, limo
thy, certainly understood their bust
ness. They went as heralds, pro-
claiming Christ and Him crucified.
They explained the gospel plan of sal
walton. They were inspired by the
apostolic zeal which had no thought
of anything but the regenerated
heart, which was, in turn, to become
worker for Christ. Armed with
nothing but the word of God, these
early apostles are found going
throughout the Roman, Grecian and
barbaric worlds, arousing conviction
in the hearts of people, and convert
ing them by doing just what Christ
told them to do-explaining to the
Gentiles just what Christ had ex-
planned to those Hebrews.
Within the last fifty years, the
missionaries have departed from the
old Pauline standard. What new
light did they have on the subject?
My dear sir, think of it as business
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-11-04

worked and talked in the very atmos-
phere with Christ-some of them
eating with Him every day, and some
of them, doubtless, sleeping with
Him in the same room every night
those are the men who must have
got His true meaning. At any rate,
the marvellous spread of the new Cos
pei by the Pauline method is over
divinity, the miraculous power of
that plan. The fact that no change
was made in it until it had existed
for nearly eighteen hundred and fifty
years, is presumptive evidence of the
most convincing character that that
way of doing the work was the right
way.
| have never said Or written a
word against foreign missions. l
bow my head obediently to the COM
mand, go We, and preach the world"
But l don't believe that we ought to
take the bread out of the mouths of
our own children and carry it to the
children of the Chinese. I don't be-
lieve we ought to leave learning a
sealed book to our own children and
open it to the Japanese. / don't be-
heve we ought to desert the sick man
and the sick woman, to suffer and die
like homeless dogs all over Christian
America, while we erect up-to-date
dispensaries and hospitals in heather
lands.
Suppose that one of our poor men
of your own county, man who de-
pended upon his daily work for his
daily bread, and whose wife and little
children are dependent upon that la
Dor for their own support-suddenly
dies and leaves that wife and chill
dren without natural protectors, and
without a source of livelihood. What
is that widow to do? What are those
children to do? My dear Mr..
you and I know what
they do do. They drift off to
the city; and the mother and
the little brood go into the factories,
where the moral atmosphere is so
bad, and where the work is done
under such conditions as make physi-
cal, mental and spiritual welfare al
most incompatible with that kind of
life. Either she does that. or she
does something worse. 1t is happen
ing all over our Christian land.
These homeless widows, these father
less and destitute children are crying
to us from Maine to California, from
the Lakes to the Gulf, and we harden
our hearts to these of our own flesh
and blood, while we go off to China,
Korea and Japan to erect magnificent
homes for destitute widows, and
sumptuous orphanages for heather
children! Is it right? Is it natural?
Is it just? Did not Christ command
US to provide for our own household?
Are not the little American children,
are not the American widows. are
not the American MANNED, old, dis
eased, blind and homeless, worth car
ing for?

HOUSE WOULD FIRE" MANN
Resolution 10 Discharge Capitol
 Architect Adopted.
In Hard Fight Led by Tillman Parks Gov ernor Triumphs, Though
 Vote is Close.

Little Rock, Feb. I2.-Special- The state capitol again occupied the attention of the house yester- day, and the fur flew all day. Gov ernor Donaghey finally triumphed the resolution calling for the discharge of George R. Mann as the architect of the capitol passed, after an able defense by Tilman Parks, on vote of 46 to 42. When the resolution was introduc- ed Wedn sday afternoon it had but few followers, the majority be- ing in favor of the discharge of Mann, but wishing to have it done by bill inasmuch as he was em- ployed by a bill. A resolution by Warnock to investigate the ev- idence i'll the hands of the legisla- ture was defeated. This resolution was intended as substitute.
 The resolution passed yesterday afternoon is concurrent one and must now be ratified by the senate before the discharge of Mann by resolution is absolutely certain. The house argued all afternoon, frequently bringina in other substi tutes, which were sidetracked, and the speakers hammered away un- til the Parks resolution passed.
 One of the sidetraCked resolu- tions was by Holt of Hampstead, who wanted Major John s. Sewell, who made the Donaghey report, brought back before the house to be cross examined and tell the rep resentatives all about the defects of the new capitol. Another resolu- tion wanted a joint committee of nine, from the house and senate to investigate the capitol matter and make a report. Another resolution wanted one engineer appointed by Gov. Donaghey, another by Cald wall & Drake, and the two select a third and have this board go over the building and prepare report. This too was voted down, while the legislature stuck to the origi nal resolution until it was finally passed. The Warnock resolution which called for the joint commit tee, all but passed, the house vot- ing fl to Al upon 1t.

COUPLE
 ARE ASSAULTED

George Guye and his sister, Katie Guye, French couple who live about four miles of Conway on the Beebe road, came into the office of Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetterat noon for the purpose of prosecuting some parties for an assault which had evidently been committed up- on them. Neither of them is able to speak English sufficiently to be understood, but the woman's face was badly cut and bruised and the man by gesticulations showed that they had been attacked by some one, although they were unable to give the names of their assailants.
 It is stated by some who know the couple that some boys living near them have been consistently tormenting Guye and his sister and have frequently attacked them, al though no one seems to know the cause of the trouble, MT. Ledbetter stated that Guye had come to him several times before and he had each time advised him to see the prosecuting attorney or some magistrate, but for some cause they have never had war rants issued for their assailants.
 The case is evidently one that should be investigated and some one who can speak Guye's lan- guage should endeavor to learn the particulars and bring them to the attention of the officers.

GOV. DONAGHEY STANDS FIRM
Holds Out for Discharge of all
 Connected with Capitol.
Says, :n Special Message, that to Retain Caldwell & Drake Means no Limit
 to Cost of Structure.

Little Rock, Feb. I2. I2.-Special.- In response to an inquiry from the senate, Governor Donaghey yesterday afternoon sent a special message to that body, in which he stands firm for the discharge of everyone now in charge of the state capitol.
 He holds that the state has no stipulated contract with Caldwell & Drake, on account of the chang es which have been made in the plans, their connection being sim ply that of employment. They have already been paid, he says, about $500, ,ooo for the work, which they contracted to complete for So4S,ooo and the work is not half completed. To retain them, he states, would mean that the work, like that of the Pennsylva- mia capitol, might run to the enor- nous sum of SIP ,ooo, 900.
 As to the cost of completing the capitol under his plan, the govern or states that this would depend upon the amount the legislature desired to spend. The first thing to do, after the discharge of the present commissioners, architect and. .contractors, would be to pro- vide for new commission, ot which the governor should be an ex-officio member, who would take an inventory of all permanent work that had been done and then figure the cost of completion. This could be done within two or three weeks.
 The governor states that if he is made responsible for the comple- ton of the building he would have it ready for use within I2 months. He says that the state will save at least SI ,ooo, 900 by taking charge the work at once.

STOCK LAW BEING AGITATED
Opposition to Proposed Measure
 is Developing.
Reports Indicate Diversity of Opinion as to Merit of Law Prohibiting Stock
 Running ..at Large.

Sentiment in opposition to the proposed law to prohibit stock from running at large in Faulkner coun- ty is rapidly developing, and the bill which a few days ago seemed to be almost unanimously favored may not now secure the support necessary for its passage.
 As was stated a few days ago, when the first petitionsfavoring the law were circulated i'll the northern and western part of the county, they were freely signed, friends of the proposed measure stating that from 70 to 90 per cent of the voters in this section had attached their signatures to the petitions.
 Reports from other sections of the county, however, indicate that a marked opposition to the bill will be offered,should it be presented for passage. R. K. Wilkerson of Beryl stated yesterday that he knew of only two men in his town ship who were outspoken in favor of the law, and many others have i'll the past two or three days claimed that their sections were almost solidly against it.
 The opponents of the law are al so claiming that the people of Con- way ought not to be considered on the petitions favoring the law, as it is a measure which purely con- cerns the farming people. The city, they state, has already prohib- ited stock from running at large within its limits, and the people of the country districts should be allowed to settle the matter among themselves.
 It is remarked, however, by those favoring the law, that few if any of those opposing it state that it will work any hardship upon themselves individually, nearly everyone who objects to the meas ure stating that he has sufficient pasture land for his own use, but each claims that it would be bad for the renter and poorer classes generally.
