Mr.. Watson and Foreign Missions

send many millions annually to give
religious and educational advan-
tages to other people while there are
people at home equally in need of
them, we certainly fall under the Di-

against him who provides not spe-

Hon. Thos. e. Wason has declined
to accept the challenge that he de-
bate with Mr.. William T. Ellis in the
Atlanta Auditorium the Foreign
Missions question. Perhaps his re-
fusal to do this will be claimed by
his opponents in this matter as an in
dication of fear on his part to enter
such a joint debate, yet the public
will not so understand it. Mr.. Wat
sons ability as a debater has been
too often proven and is too we'll
known, for anybody to believe really
that he felt himself unequal to the
task of defending the position he had
taken. That he declined the debate
was for other reasons, as he has
stated.
If Atlanta desires the ADVERTISE
ment she would get out of such
meeting it is up to her to secure Mr..
Bryan to take the other end of that
proposition. And if Mr. Bryan can
not be secured-and the gentleman
from Nebraska is too wise to rush in
where angels fear to tread-Mr.
Watson would doubtless consent to
debate with any of the leading lights
Of the church in this section who
views where he was denied hear
ing.
To import a man from Philadel-
phia to debate with Mr.. Watson a
question of public interest in Atlanta
did have the appearance of it's pro-
motors trying to fight a duel by
proxy.
The comment in the State papers
which has followed this challenge
shows to what extent the public is in
terested in this question, and coin
cides with Mr.. Watson's views as pre-
sented by him in his Jeffersonian.
This is not opposition to Foreign Mis-
sions, but to the present sytem of
supporting the mission work. AS he
says in his letter declining the chal-
lenge: "To the principle of Foreign
Missions | am not antagonistic. On
the other hand, l believe in the Paul
inc method of doing the work. It is
the modern innovations which have
thrown aside the apostolic model and
example that [ combat. I say that
there is no scripture for it, no COM
mon sense, no patriotism, no true re-
ligion.''
Is he not right in this? When the
first missionaries were sent forth
Christ commanded that they take
nothing for their journey, save a
staff only; no scrip, no bread, no
money in their purse. Paul, the great
apostle to the Gentiles, supported
himself at Corinth by working at his
trade, the tent makers. st. Patrick
did his great missionary work in Ire
land unsupported by Foreign Mission
collections at home. The pioneer
missionaries in America and Africa,
like Father Marquette and Living
ston, followed the Pauline style, and
all these appear to have had greater
success than do our present-day mis-
sionaries who are so lavishly sup
ported by collections among their
home people.
1t is said that $22,OOO,OOO are col
lected annually in our various
churches for the support of Foreign
Missions, to educate people of other
countries who should provide for
their own education, while there re-
main thousands of poor children in
our country who are totally deprived
of all opportunities for obtaining an
education.
Many good people believe in For
eign Missions because the present
system of Foreign Mission work has
gradually developed, and has become
a custom which, like other old GUS

THE GUIDON EXPRESSES AN
OPINION.

We do not always agree with Mr..
Watson, but there is something of
the comic opera in Mr.. Galloway, ct
al, selecting a champion to debate
with Mr.. Watson the question of For
eign Missions. We learn that Mr..
Watson declines to meet, in the lists
their somewhat unknown knight, but
says he will couch his lance against
the peerless one," the Honorable
William Jennings Bryan. We trust
Mr.. Galloway, ct al, will be able to
arrange a mix-up between Messrs.
Watson and Bryan. If such a fight
could be pulled off, that between
Jefries and Johnson would only be
a preliminary skirmish-a sort of
curtain raiser. By all means induce
Mr.. Bryan to put on the gloves.
We are willing to back Mr., Wat
son for any reasonable amount, not
because of any superior skill or
strength that he may be supposed to
possess, but for the reason that there
are few more absurd things than this
craze of Foreign Missions, unless it
be the effort to ChristianiZe the
Jews. Foreign Missions have for
their real purpose the propagation
VI ChC AS1AS1Ou0 QOSuld p0Culldr TO
the sect supporting the mission. How
beautiful in it's simplicity is the pic
ture of the good missionary instruct
ing a Congo Negro in the blessed
doctrine of holiness and ''infant
baptism" On the other hand, how
low and vulgar is it, to go among the
poor and ignorant in our great cities
and relieve their dire want. Let the
money and labor expended on For
eign Missions be judiciously used in
this country for the relief of human
suffering. When a man wants bread
don't give him a tract; when he
needs fuel do not tell him, if he does
not join the church, he will find it
hot enough in hell. There is no OBJ
lection to spreading the gospel of
Christ, just as there is no objection
to the dissemination of truth, but
the cause Of Church and State can
be best subserved by the eradication
in this country of ignorance, poverty
and vice.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-03-17

We regret that we can not publish
the two cards Of Mr.. Hull and Mr.
Ellis. Mr.. Hull says that Mr.. Wat
son wants Ito dodge square meet
ing of the facts" whatever that
means. If Mr.. Hull means that Mr..
Watson is "dodger" he is mistaken.
Of one thing Mr.. Hull may rest as
sured, that Mr.. Watson is not want
ing in courage. We know of no man
who is less of ''dodger." Mr.. Hull
is on dangerous ground when he
charges Mr.. Watson with making
untrue and misleading statements"
Denunciation of this character is
hardly graceful from one who wishes
to establish Foreign Missions, in the
name Of the meek and lowly Jesus.
Mr.. Ellis, in letter to Mr.. Hull,
refers to Mr.. Watson as your high
and mighty Mr.. Watson" "self-com-
placent Mr.. Watson" exalted and
aristocratic Mr.. Watson" "the wordy
Mr.. Watson's deblatterating. Mr..
Ellis writes: 81 was fully aware of
the risk of scurrilous treatment I ran
by getting down to Watson's level"
IT is perfectly evident that Mr..
Watson did right to refuse to enter
into the proposed debate. The un-
DERIVING sentiment that gives life to
Foreign Missions is or ought to be
an earnest, holy and sincere desire
to do Gods will and to spread among
the nations of earth the blessed doc
trine of peace and good will. The
proposed debate with Mr.. Ellis could
only result in bitterness and in per-
sonal illusions unworthy of the
cause of true eligion.-Guidon.

New Orleans, April 25.-With the
more or less general understanding
in the cotton future market at the
close Saturday that the weather
would prove a big factor in the mar
ket this week, futures opened here
today IA to "a above last weeks
close and exhibited a marked tend
ency to seek high levels from the
very start.
One of the contentious of the long
side of the market was that planters
were short of seed and that if the
cotton was killed in many places by
the cold weather, another short
crop would be in order this season.
With the receipt of dispatches from
many points throughout the cotton
belt this morning telling of snow
and cold weather, the new crop
months in the future market opened
S1.75 a bale above last weeks close
In a sympathetic rise some of the
old crop months showed advances Of
81 bale. Reports of severe dam
age were received from practically
all of the Gulf States and States far
ther north reported conditions much
&ho ~ h1 SoYS Cn11fh
Texas is said to have suffered sew
erely. Palestine, Texas, reported a
temperature Of "a degrees, reports
Of ice in many sections of Missis-
sippi were received and the Georgia
crop, on which hung large part Of
the hopes of the bears, was reported
to have been severely damaged. All
of the cotton which was up in many
parts of the interior of the South is
reported killed and seed which had
been put in the ground is said to be
rotting.
The future market continued to'
seek higher levels as the day ad-
vanced and at noon the new crop
months showed an advance of $3.50
a bale over the close Saturday.
With the result Of more sensation
al news Of damage in the belt bulls
claimed millions Of acres of cotton
had been destroyed. The situation
was aggravated by the weather FORE
cast which, in all but west Texas
predicted more frost tonight, freez-
ing temperatures and even snow in
some portions of the belt.
Brokers were busy all the morn
ing trying to find cotton seed for
replanting purposes for their GUS
toners and friends in the country.
AS high as $3.50 a ton for long
steeple seed, the highest price on
record, was paid, it ordinarily SELL

Sumner.HOuSeal.

On Wednesday evening at the
quaint old Baptist church in Society
Hill was solemnized the marriage OF
Miss Lita Ruth Sumner, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John Edwin Sumner, to
Edward Bennett Houseal of this city
Rev. T. Ellison Simpson, pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church, Of
fciating.
The bridesmaids entered at the
rear Of the church at opposite doors,
crossing in front Of the altar and
proceeding down the aisles, where
they met the bride and her immedi-
ate attendants in the vestibule Pro-
ceedlng to the altar the ushers led
in couples, followed by the brides
maids. Then came little Ena Carri-
gan, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee Carrigan, who carried the
ring. The maid of honor, Miss
Laura Spencer of Cheraw, preceded
the bride, who entered with her faith
er and was met at the altar by the
groom with his best man, his broth
er, William Walter Houseal. During
the impressive ceremony Ruben
STEMS melody in E" was played by
Miss Annie Edwards Of Darlington,
who presided at the organ during
the entire ceremony. The church
decorations were all in white and
yellow, and a lovely feature was the
succession of graceful vine garland
ed arches, studded with yellow and
white roses, the altar being bank
ed with yellow roses, a wedding bell
pendant from the ceiling. The
brides attendants were: Miss Mary
Julia Reid, of Charlotte; Miss Lois
Jackson, of Iva; Miss Montz Bran
let, of Gafney, and Miss Vera Hou-
seal, a sister of the groom, of this
city. They all wore exquisite white
crepe de chine gowns, with pearl
trimmings and carried yellow
daisies. The maid of honor was in
yellow messaline, with gold trim
mings, and she, too, carried the gold
en- daisies, tied with yellow tulle.
The ushers were: Edwin L. Sumner,
brother of the bride; Leland Law.
of Hartsville, S. c.; Roy Jones, OF
Newberry; James T. Owens, Of FL
loree. The brides lovely gown was
Of white satin, with pearl trimmings
and dew drop lace and her only
ornament was necklace and pend

In Memoriam James w. D. JOhnsO

In Memoriam James W. D. Johnson.
On the morning of March 19 our
community was shocked and grieVed
when as a bolt from the blue spread
the tidings that Brother ]. W. D.
Johnson, "Uncle Jimmie,' as he was
affectionately known by so many OF
his younger friends, had been sud-
denly summoned away from earth
to heaven. Truly in this instance, as
in many another, we are made TO
feel how uncertain is life, that in
the midst of life we are in death. =.
Brother Johnson went to his post
of duty the morning OF the 18th
seemingly in his usual health and
spirits, and before another day
dawned he was ushered into the
presence Of God.
A good man has fallen, it is said
that a friend meeting his neighbor
the morning Of Brother Johnsons s
death and accosting him, said:
"The best man in our community
died last night" without moments
hesitation came back: Eyes, Broth
er Jimmie Johnson" Brother john
son was a. true man, a useful cltlz-
en-, a devoted Christian who would
always be found standing Tor the
good, the true and pure.
Brother Johnson was born and
raised, and always lived in the COM
munity near where he died. Join
ing the church in his youth Brother
Johnson was consistent, active
and useful member Of Fairview Bap-
tist church for almost half a CEN
tury. We do not exaggerate when
we say he was one of the pillars OF
his church, in which he will be
greatly missed by his brethren, es-
pecially by his pastor who had his
constant encouragement eAo ouPpoAS
and who could always rely upon
him in every good work. He ever
had the interest Of his pastor and
the church at heart. A few days be-
fore his death the writer met him
on the public highway and stopped
for a chat. His conversation was
about his church and pastor, and
about newly organized church in
the community in which he appear
ed greatly interested.
Brother Johnson was for num-
Der of years moderator of the Reedy
River association, which position he
filled with credit to himself and to
the entire satisfaction of the asso-
citation.
Truly good man has fallen, one
who will be greatly missed by all
in the community where he was so
long and so affectionately known;
but the Lord has need Of the good
