a FLORIDA PRIMITIVE BAPTIST
EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I have seen
some copies of your Magazine, and
am now subscriber I wish all my
missionary friends here could read
your article on Foreign Missions
The abuses carried on by the mod
ern mission system results from the
fact that the institution itself is of
carnal and not of Divine origin.
If the apostles had not been in
vested with power from on high
their ministrations would have been
barren of good results. Moreover, if
Jesus had not been with them, by His
Spirit, the efforts would have been
vain.
The modern system is entirely
wanting in Divine power, and, there
fore, has to rely on money, not only
for the making of Fproselytes," but
for the subsistence of the mission
aries themselves. The distinction is

Dear Sir:-I am sending under
separate cover a copy of Zion's Adj
voCate, one of our UNCONVENTIONAL
papers, in which you will note a short
editorial on first page relative to Mr.
Watson's book. I would be pleased
if you would show this note to Mr.
Watson, for 7 want him to know that,
personally. I shall do what I can to
circulate his book on this question,
and that believe our people all over
the United States stand with him on
the position he has taken, as I I'M
derstand it, viz: that the Gospel
should be preached that the field
should support the preacher,-th
in preaching the truth as it is in
Christ Jesus and adjoining that truth
with godly walk and conversation,
we have fulfilled the commission.
I also want to say that I greatly
enjoy WatsOn's Magazine. May God
enable him to turn the light on
Catholicism as he has on the Mission
question and Socialism. I may send

why can we not accomplish anything
if we just have these three graces?
If the love of God reigned supremacy
in our hearts and we have Faith and
Hope, the heather would become
Christians through the power of God
and establish and maintain their own
schools and churches, and we should
have more money and more Gospel
spirit for our own illiterate- children
Though we may give all our goods to
feed the poor and our bodies to be
burned and have not charity, it
profteth us nothing.
In all Of your publications since
the first of January on Foreign Mis-
sions l have not seen but one logical
argument, viz, the letter from the
Philippines.
I was hoping to see your reply, but
am disappointed to the present time.

A LETTER FROM NORTH GEOR-

Dear Sir:-T am a new subscriber
to The Jeffersonian and like it fine,
and my reason for liking The jeff, is
it deals in facts. We have some mis-
sionary cranks in old North Georgia;
they preach from the pulpit, borrow
money and pay interest on it to send
to foreign lands. Did you ever hear
of such And the people who rent
land barely have decent clothing to
go to near the Gospel preached. Nine
tenths of us haven't decent houses to
live in. I will give you a short de-
scription of the houses we live in:
you can almost stick your fingers
through the floor; not ceiled, and
some with no loft. If you ask the
land owner for a load of lumber to
repair your house with he will grum-

1t is certainly most encouraging to
witness the gradual awakening that
is going on among our common peo-
~ Sc orc the
Foreign Mission Boards, and the edi-

eternal asking for more coin to sup

AS Mr.. Booth says, the very people
who live in uncomfortable houses
hardly worthy of the name of

dren have to do the homework, (and
sometimes the field work. never

IN THEIR LUXURIOUS LIVING.
Very few people in this country
can afford to live in the elegant
houses and the elegant style kept up
by our foreign missionaries. Beauti-
full city residences for the winter,
beautiful mountain homes for the
summer; elegant furniture, elegant
clothing, sumptuous food, servants
to wait on them, servants to attend
them while travelling, an easy time
and a regular salary: such is the life
of the foreign missionary.

man, whom they call prime Yum, is
going around, taking up collections
to build another $4,000 college in
Korea. Yet, as our older subscribersk
wildly remember, that when l firsts

Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood is giving a
reception this afternoon in celebration of
the eightieth anniversary of her birthday.
Washington has known Mrs. Lockwood
for many years. She was a pioneer of the
woman suffrage movement in this city:
she was one of the first women, if not the
first. to be admitted to practice at the
local bar, and she was undoubtedly the
first woman to ride a tricycle. on the
streets Of the National Capital.
Her work for the betterment of condi-
tons here has been applied in behalf of
men, women and children. and so earnest
ly and so successfully has she worked
for the cessation of the worlds hostilities
that she has been honored several times
as delegate to peace conferences In Diff
ferent countries. A number of years ago
she was q candidate for the presidency
of the United States, having accepted the
nomination to call the attention of the
country to the contention that II woman
had a right to the. highest Office in the
United States-if she could get it. She
has been actively identified with the hui
name work of the city and her wide circle
Of friends say that to the Intellectual
power of the worker is united the tender
sweetness of the woman, whose greatest
quality is her answering friendship for
other women.
