SEES GLORIOUS
FUTURE IN india

pressions During Visit to
That Country.
CLASS DISTINCTION PASSING
Missionaries Are Blazing a Way for
Enlightenment ana Correct
Living.

A glorious future for India. free
government and an enlightened peo-
pie, was prophesied by DR.. G. w.
Foss in his lecture on india at
Augustana college last night. The
lecture was the first number ON this
seasons lyceum course and proved
intensely interesting.
midas future, according to Dr.
Foss, depends on the breaking down
of castles, the social custom which has
ground the lower classes of India in
the dust for thousands of years. The
influence of the missionaries in this
direction has already become appar-
ent, and the higher castles are begin
ming to realize the great mistake of
the past in handicapping the growth
of the nation by class distinctions.
The missionaries recognize no castles
and the result has been to gradually
undermine the native customs and

Joshua Griffin.

joshua Van Buren, Griffin, one of the
Oldest native born citizens of the
county, a veteran of the civil war and
familiar figure on the streets of
Rock Island for years, died at $3.50
this morning at his home in Anda-
lUsia of cancer of the stomach. He had
been i'll since early in the summer.
Mr. Griffin was born Dec. 9, 1910, on
Big island, near Milan, and had lived
in this vicinity all his life, farming for
years in Andalusia township. He was
united in marriage in 1863 with Miss
Mary Mosher, who died March Fl,
1895. Eleven children were born TO
the couple, five surviving. as follows;
Irwin L. of Water Valley, Miss, Mrs.
Mabel Hollopeter of Reynolds,
George H. of Bryant, Miss, and Mrs
Dona Brookman and John H. of Center
Point, Iowa. There are also left one
brother, George of Milan, and three sis
tiers. Mrs Mary Wharton of Milan, Mrs.
Abbie Sayers of Clinton, Iowa, and
Mrs. Mary Andrews of this city
There are II grandchildren and one
great grandchild. Mr.. Griffin fought
through the civil war and was a mem
Der of the G.. A. R., being connected
with the post at Andalusia when
it was an active organization. The
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon at Q: 80 with services at the Au-
dalusia Baptist church and interment
in the village cemetery.

Missionary work has principally
been with the lower castles or the out
casts, and much has been done in
raising these miserable victims of
class distinction out of the depths
where birth had thrown them. AS
soon as a low caste native becomes
a Christian, he is looked up to by
the other natives as having become
raised in social position. He also
clothes himself better than do the
other members of his caste The
natives are very intellectual and
when they only have an opportunity
to attend school, they develop rap

illness is not above reproach. He re-
lated one story to illustrate this
which almost convulsed the audience
with laughter. a missionary went
into a kitchen of his home one day
and found his native cook straining
the coffee through one of his socks

missionary, you are straining the
coffee through one of my socksi"

idly. The mission schools are all
filled to overlooking and applicants
are turned away for want of room.
The English government, however, is
establishing schools as rapidly as pos
sibIe. All this is having the tendency
of breaking down the castles through
the diffusion of knowledge. At pres
sent there are over 1000 subdivi-
sions of the several castles, and none
of the members of any of these 1000
divisions are permitted to have any
intercourse with the members of an
other division. The penalty is to be
regarded as an outcast and separat-
ed from family and relatives. The
difficulty of converting members of
the higher castles is due to this mex
orable fate that befalls all who adopt
Christianity.
Relics Exhibited.
DR.. FToss exhibited some relics
from the land of wonder and mys-
terry, among them being a demon idol
secured from the worshippers OF
southern India. These people are
the aborigines of India, having come
there in ages past from the Persian
gulf. They believe that it is unnec-
essary to worship the good spirits in
asmuch as they will not harm anyone.
Their intereessions, therefore, are di-
rected to the evil spirits in order to
appease their wrath. One method the
natives have of worshipping is to
pour melted butter over these demon
idols in order to melt their hearts.
Every month the idols are given
bath and the water is collected in a
pool. The natives drink this eagerly,
believing it to be sacred. Thousands
of these idols can be secured, all
being "made in Germany" according
to the speaker. When once an idol
has beer worshipped, however, it is

secured for any price.
Pest In Country

sHuAe FthI IN NOunIrys
DR.. Foss told of the snake pest in
India. The most numerous snake is
the cobra, which is also the most
deadly. 1t haunts houses and makes
life a constant nightmare. Lights
must be burnt all night in order to
frighten the reptiles away and no
one dares to place a foot on the floor
in the dark for fear of treading on a
snake. Scorpions are also very num-
erous.
The natives are exceedingly good
cooks. said Dr. Foss, but their clean

that both have promised to be at the
