Beginning in 1850.
Sigfrid Blomgren, one of the dele
gates. spoke on the history of the
movement. It began, he said, in 1886,
at Mt Hermon, Mass, when a religious
conference was held, led by three
prominent educators, Wilder of
Princeton, Tewksbury of Harvard and
Clark of Oberlin. Before the con-
ference closed 100 delegates had re-
corded their purpose to become for
eign missionaries. The organization
was made permanent in 1888 at
Mortified. Mass, the movement in
cooperating under the laws of the
state of New York.
The movement is primarily to
recruit missionaries from the ranks
of the students of the country. The
motto of the organization is: 1.-THE
evangelization Of the world in this
generation" 1t is strictly non-sectar-
ian, every student who volunteers be-
ing recommended TO his own denom-
ination or church to be sent into the
utlu Dlutt tue movement
ed Alag students have volunteered
to become missionaries and have ac-
tually sailed.
Need Of More Volunteers.
The other delegates who spoke last
night were Oscar Montan, c. o. Mel
son, Victor Lindeblad. w. X. Magnu-
son and o. r. Karlstrom. All the
speakers emphasized the need of
more volunteers to go into the mis-
sion fields and pointed out the great
opportunities which are now opening
up in the heather world. a great
awakening is in progress in nearly ev-
cry heather country and the time is
ripe for the introduction of Chris
tianity. The friendly attitude of all
heather governments towards Chris
tianity is also growing every year
and less difficulties are encountered
in the spread of Christian teachings

every State where it has become an

is a lot of rottenness in the political
timber.
There has not been a time in the
past seventy-five years when public
sentiment was SO thoroughly and
bitterly aroused to these conditions
as it is now
In national affairs, the Republi-
cans and Democrats are divided
against each other and themselves,
as they have never been before.
Will the warning elements of each

their own revenue only?
And state conditions are as bad.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, has voiced
the sentiment of the suave politician
in whose hands state and national
matters have been too trustfully
placed when he said to his hearers
recently:
IF you would straighten out this
tariff question, you should get away
from the criticism Of the metropoli-
tan press and stop reading the maya
zines that are giving SO much space,
trying to break up the Republican
party. Go home and decide this
question alone with your wives and
your children, at your fireside, and
you will decide right

politician and the perpetual office
holder have strangled the last resist
ing, feeble wall of objection voiced
by that wobbly creature known as
Public Opinion.
The average American citizen who
goes abroad and witnesses the
pagentry of monarchial countries,
who notes the reverence and awe
with which king Or emperor is greet

thud and eXclaims: None of that

Georgia is not the only state in
which clique, grown bold by the
results of bought elections and a
subsidized press, can howl down
man who is brave enough to tell the
truth. and who has no strings tied
to him, no political ambitions to
urge him on, and no pen but his own
to defend him.
The success of the Republican
party in it's steam roller tactics has
made bold the bosses of state politics
and the Democratic party of the
south bids fair to become as rotten
as the national Republican party.
