Civilization and Missions,

There is question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe, Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people If, in addition to promoting
their material well being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber.
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. TIL,
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in single genera
ton has been remarkable.

Senate Committees Preparing Plans

MISUNDERSTANDING, such as has

by committees SO early in the first
regular session of congress, is now
in evidence in both wings of the
capitol.
Although there are practically three
parties. the regular" republicans, the
'.insurgent" republicans and the
democrats, there again are signs ON
every hand that President Taft by
steering his characteristic middle of
the read" course is daily gaining sup
porters for his legislative program.
The skill shown by the president
in avoiding clashes with either fac
ton OF the ruling party and the knack
he has exhibited in compelling the
aid of both in his fight for the re-
demption of party pledges has notice
ably impressed the democratic minor
ity. In the house there are indica-
tons that the threatened fusion OF
democrats and insurgent republicans
on. several legislative questions is
now little feared by the majority.

The incident furnishes a good illustra-

Committees are now considering sub

laid plans to take up administration
measures while the house has sup
piled bills under consideration. |

Two airships. which will be con-

As the guest of honor the colonel

that there was absolutely no danger.
But as the distance from the earth
grew greater the colonel leaned out
anxiously.

The men who were bailing out the

Higher and higher went the balloon
