Preaching and Teaching
and Facts
By X. A. MYERS

IN CONNECTION with the for
eign missionary discussion, it
is interesting to note that
- neither the great apostle
Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles,
nor any other of the apostles who
carried the glad tidings abroad, ever
went beyond the Aryan or eau
casian race. The Gentiles visited all
belonged to this race; so did the
Jews, and it was to these and these
only that the gospel was preached.
No effort to extend ''Christendom"
beyond the Caucasian race has ever
been successfully attempted. 1t is
doubtful if any black or yellow man
has ever arrived at saving knowl-
edge Of the gospel in the last nine
teen hundred years, and not only has
failure attended every effort to evan
gelize these yellow and black races,

the same rate of increase should con-
tlnue for a hundred years that pre-
vailed for the seven years previous
there would be four hundred million
Christians in China This opinion af-
fords encouragement, when we re-
member that it took three centuries
to convert the Roman Empire, and a
thousand years more to convert Eu-
rope The population of the Empire
was one hundred and twenty millions;
the population of Europe then was
not more than one-fourth of that of
China today.
1t is claimed in the article in the
Jetfersonian Magazine that the money
spent on missions should all be spent
at home. The writer draws a dark
picture Of society in some parts of
America. There is surely a wiser
course than the one he proposes. The
Christian people of America give
about nine millions year for foreign
missions. That is about one-half of
one per cent. of what all the people
OF America pay for religion and ed
ucation and benevolence in America
That is drop in the bucket com
pared with the enormous sums spent
for 1uxuries and pleasures. That

bill of the American people for for
ty-eight hours. The people of this
great and good land are abundantly
able to provide church and school
privileges for every man and woman
and child in our borders Besides,
cutting off our gifts for foreign mis-
slons would hinder rather than help
the situation. Jacob A. Riis says
that once he was opposed to foreign
missions. Later he learned that the
spirit that sent one dollar to China
or India or Africa released ten dol
lars for work at home. Cutting off
supplies abroad would dry up the
springs of liberality and less would
be done in consequence. The Old
Book says that "There is that scatter
eth, and yet increaseth; and there is
that withholdeth more than is meet,
and it tendeth to poverty"
Men who have visited the fields
and have obtained first-hand infor-
nation speak in highest commenda-
ton of the missionaries and their
work. President Taft says that be-
fore he went to the Orient he en-

1908, he said, I'm the progress of
civilization you can not overestimate
the immense Importance of Christian
missions. No man can study the
movements of modern civilization
from an impartial standpoint and not
realize that Christianity and the
spread of Christianity are the only
basis for the hope of modern civil
lization in the growth of popular
government" He testified that
the missionaries in China and in 9TH
er lands worthily represent the best
Christian spirit of this country, and
are doing worthily the work they
were sent to do. w. T. Ellis was
sent to study missions on the field.
He was sent by syndicate of Ameri-
facts and report them. Since his
return he has been speaking con-
stantly in favor of the missionary
enterprise. He is missionary en-
thusiast. w. J. Bryan is the most
eloquent advocate of foreign missions
now living. He made it a point to
know the missionaries and the work
they are doing John Wanamaker
made tour of the world. On his
return home he wrote his check for
one hundred thousand dollars for
the work on the fields. He expressed
his regret he had not gone earlier
that he might help the cause for
longer period. He called upon men
of large means to join him in support
ing this cause on worthy scale.
The writer of this review has Wis
tied all the great mission fields of
the world. He met thousands of
missionaries and saw the work they
have done and are doing. He feels
that it would be a piece of imperti-
nence for him to command the men
and the women who represent the
heroic element of our modern Chris
tianity, and who are doing a work
that President Benjamin Harrison
pronounced the most influential and
enduring work that is being done in
this day of great enterprises. He
believes that if the editor of the JEFF
fersonian Magazine would devote a
year or two to missionary tour of
illusions and would award praise
where now he awards only blame.

y colored citizen of Washington, who

Tennessee sheriff and Others were
brought up for sentence for contempt,
was loudmouthed in his denunciation of
the discrimination made in the matter of
admission to the scene. The only two
black men present were members of the
bar and entitled by courtesy. Not a
colored politician nor worker of any de-
gree was able to get to the inside of the

THE SAME OLD BOY.

You old fellows smile when you see a
young fellow going down the street with
his derby perched far on one side of his
head; his trousers rolled up to expose the
most of pair Of purple socks, with tan
shoes and wide ties on his feet.
He certainly looks odd to the gray
heads. and we are inclined to smile at
his oddity.
But after all, isn't he just about a
second edition of what YOU were at the
same age:
He wears better clothes, perhaps, than
you did when you plastercd your hair
down with liberal applications of bear
grease; drew a wide, flaming neck tie
through your paper collar, and sailed
forth to see and to conquer.
The old folks laughed at YOU then, as
you laugh now.
But after all, it is the same old boy.
His ideas, his hopes and his plans are
not materially changed from those Of
the last generation.
He thinks putting on hambovant style
is Just about the thing now, but in
little while it will dawn upon him that
there are more earnest things in life,
and, Just as YOU did will shed his little
oddities and get down to business, ready
in turn to smile at those who come after
him and indulge in the same freaks, as
they are bound TO do.
The boy Of today is a pretty good
fellow and not half as soft as he looks.
He will harden up in a short time. and
almost before YOU know it will be hust-
ing around for business and supporting |
a growing Young family.
Smile at him. now. but he is coirg C
make YOU respect him when he settles |
Town. Just as YOU made the Others II. |
pect YOU after YOU found it wise t. .
get down 20 business and hustle.
He's just the same, eternal, horeful |

There appears to be a concerted
effort on the part OF certain Florida
newspapers, and few members Of the
Legislature, to push toward the claim of
s. !, Wales for 80 of the Indian war
claims paid to the State by the rational
government during the Jennings adj
rlinistration. Governor Gilchrist has
covered the matter very thoroughly in
a special message to the Legislature,
but these same papers--some Of them
claiming to be friends Of the governor
are certainly not treating the chief en-
ecutive with even common decenCy in
this matter. THE News has always
considered it wise to let this matter
be settled by the courts, by passing an
act to allow Wales to sue the State y
bill with this end in view was introduced.
but was afterwards said to be unconsti-
trtional and was withdrawn or knocked
cut we forget which, If the time Of
the Legislature is worth anything
(Which is mooted question:, the Wales
claim has already cost the State nearly
as much as the Is&t would have come
to. If the governors suggestion is act
cd on, the matter may not be brought up
again and again before every session of
the Legislature, While THE News did
not support Governor Gilchrist before
the primary, We have so far seen moth
ing in his administration but what has
been straightforward and honest.
