not~-want our religion. Now, Mr..
Watson, if the Chinaman does not
want our religion and his civiliza-
,tion is superior to ours and he lives
closer to God than we do, why. this
missionary movement? The preach
.ers say it is to give. them the gospel,
but we have spent enough and been
at it long enough, to- give the gospel
to every creature; provided the con-
verts would assist.
| have never seen your answer to
this question. | have made a close
sturdy of this one question, and the
best plausible answer that I can give
is found in the statements of Bishop
w. A Gambler and Mr.. j. Campbell
White. Bishop Gambler said (page
1917:
TT may interest certain members
of this convention to be Informed
that if by education, evange1ization,
civilization, or what not; you could
get all the Chinese gentlemen to put
on one more shirt year it would
raise the price of cotton not less than
a cent a pound.
Mr.. White said:
Fhe awakening Of the Orient
means the adding of thousands of
millions of dollars annually to~the
commerce of the nations" page.
SD Also on page 81 we find this
statement: 1--WE recognize that this
is true cOmmercially-that our trade
with the world is greater than that
of any other nation"
If these two statements are true,
then We, could reasonably conclude
that the answer would be to gain
the commerce of China for the Uni
ted States. England and the United.
States are the greatest commercial
nations of the world. But how do
they stand when compared with this
missionary movement? III be not
mistaken, of the $21,719,1O9 spent
last year for missions the United
States paid about 100000 and
England about 100000 or these
two nations pay 100000, while
the rest of the world only pays-$3,-
100000, it would be natural to ask
why do these two nations pay so
much? Is it because they are striv-
ing. to gain. the trade with the heath
en-, or is it only because they are
more charitable and religious than
rest? 800 ~-- Il.
My dear Mr.. Watson. l am glad
you have told the people about this
missionary work. May God bless
you with long, useful and happy
life.

Country Life and Cooperation.

The progress made by the United
States in the past quarter century is
more varied and more striking than
tnat OF any other country in any SINH.
lar period OF the worlds history.
But the benefits of that progress have
not been evenly distributed. There
has been inequality of opportunity
which is Wouthout question one of the
worst evils from which this nation
suffers, AID there has also been inc
qultaole distributions of rewards for
work of equal merit and value. On.
portunity and reward are not equal
Ior all the citizens within any city, or
as between any two cities; and they
die especially olG1eTent as between the
city and the open country. The re.
wards of city life have hitherto been
considered to be greater than the
rewards of country life, not because
they are so in final reality, but primo.
lpallY because the have been better
understood and because Of the better
organization of life in cities. There
has grown up in consequence a
strong movement from the country TO
the city and an equally important
tendency both among city and coun-
try dwellerS tc minimize the advanta.
ges of life in the county and to look
down on the occupation of the farmer.
The result is to weaken country

have better means Of communication
in the country, then more telephones
and better roads will come, and with
them more rural free delivery routes,
and the parcels post. The latter the
farmers Of the United States already
want, and want unanimously, but
they do not yet seem to have decided
that they will have it. When they
do they will get it.
If the farmer decides that he will
have better sanitation on then the
fearful tax Of stricken, wasted lives
will Cease, especially in the south,
and farm life will be freed from one
of its most serious deh actions.
Most important Of all, for it inclu-
des all the others, it the farmer de-
cides that he will himself put an end
to his own isolation and work In CO.
orporation with his fellows Tor all the
great objects Of united interest CON-
mon to the farmers oil each farming
neighborhood, then the beginning OF
great things will have arrived. The
cooperative spirit is the master spirit
of this age, and the farmer has been
the last feel its influence and res
pond. In spite Of the great good &C
complished by the farmers Union aud
the range, our farmers as a Whole
are largely uncrganized for their
own benefit. Practically all the in
tepests with which the farmer deals
are organized against him. Without
organization the farmer is helpless.
1t is another case for applying the
old adage "United we stand, divided
we fall"
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-12-31

life, and it is or should be Of the
most serious concern to the whole
nation. No nation can continue e
prosper unless its CIVILIZATION is built on
the abididg foundation Of a strong
and satisfied life in the open country
The prosperity of the open country
is not farm question alone, On the
contrary, it is question which effects
every division of the nation, the city
less vitality than the country itself,
The question of better life in the
country is one with which both the
state and national government are
intimately concerned, but in which
they can do little more than point the
way. The farmers themselves must
decide. If country life is to become
more dignifed. better thought Of,
with larger rewards in comfort,
income and social advantages, it must
be the farmer who must bring il
about Others can help, for this is a
national problem, but the solution it
self lies essentially with the man who
lives IN the country.
If the farmer decides that be viii
have country schools which train hi.
children for life in the country, ther
such schools will arise, and the chill
dren will grow up with a keener yes
in country life, deeper knowledge o.
it and better opportunity to succeed
on the farm.

Professor E. Miller whose services

Professor Miller has Just closed a
series of lectures in one of the Law
renee churches. The course occu-
pied six evenings and proved to be
very popular. If Professor Miller's
vivid description of the wonders Of
the heavens could be heard by the
people of Kansas as a whole. it is
safe to say that the interest and value
of this study would be so keenly fell
that an observatory would be a posi-.
