Simon SmiIax

Simon Smilax under the cover of burlesque on foreign mission work, finds outlet for the eX- pression of his miserly soul. He indirectly charges false pretense on all of Christ'S servants who would lay the cause of foriegn missions on the hearts of his peo- pie, ,intimating that little negroes are bought with mission money, a charge he cannot prove. I'll venture the assertion that Simon SmilaX believes the negro to be a beast. Also that he is an antis missionary. If he has a church relation he is chronic grumbler and kicker. He is no doubt an eX- church member, au eX-politician, and an ex- everything else that would elevate the human race. He claims. to favor feeding, clothing and educating negroes here at home. Simon, how much have you given for this in your life time? Now just "fess" up and come out from under your stingy cover. Your vision of Christ and his mission to the world is just about such as the man who prayed to the Lord to have mercy on me, my wife, my son John, and his wife, us four, and no more. Simon, do you know what Christ meant when he said teach all the nations" and preach the gospel to every creature?" Simon, the trouble with you is the fact that you don't believe much in Christ any way. Simon closes by saying Now please remember Dear little Dora" " our dear little Afri- can sister" I'll close by saying please let us remember and pray for our Dear mizerly Sim on," our brother in Adam but 1 fear not in Christ.
