a bad showing for this state admins
tration now asking for the PEOPLE to
return them to office. If they prom

AS regards the county affairs we
will only say that the total value OF
the county is fixed at $o,4o6, ,4o7 90,
and the total amount of tax paid from
all sources for all purposes is S455,-
oo5.5o, and for county government
alone SII5.oe84o. When we consider
that whenever we transact any busi-
ness whatever with the county, such
as recording deeds and mortgages OF
foreclosures of trust deeds and mort.

whatever from any of the county Of
fcials or have business before the
courts we must pay the expense incl

slider that practically nothing comes
back to the people except the educa-
tion of our children and the use OF
the public roads. The cost Of gov
ernment seems to be unreasonably
high and we should change officials
from time to time who have proven
extravagant and wasteful OF the peo-

the hope thereby of securing more
economical government. We are OF
the opinion that one OF the great
dangers threatening our form OF gov

DONE IN JAPAN
Illustrated Lecture is Given
in East Ell Paso Pres
byterian Church.

lecture on Unfamiliar Folk Ways
Of Japan" was given in connection with
the Laymen's Movement in the East Ell
Paso Presbyterian church last evening
by DR.. A. P. Vaughn The speaker was
a resident in Japan for some years and
the stereopticon slides used In connec-
ton with the address were made by
himself. Most of them show the daily
life of the common artisans and peas
ants, OF whom very little has been
written for American readers.
The speaker emphasized the fact
that, at bottom. the Japanese are human
and not dissimilar to American or Eng
fish, in emotions. ambitions and abili-
ties. Custom and institution have made
superficial differences, but these will
probably somewhat fade out as easy
international intercourse increases. The
mass Of American prejudice has little
foundation, as prejudice usually does
The orient looks down on manual labor
as degrading, and Japan shares this
view, but there is a growing sentiment
among the young engineers and stu
dents of other lines that service rem
dered to fellow men, even II it does re-
quire work, is worthy occupation.
One Of the strongest proofs that the
story Of Jesus of Nazareth is not fiction
Is found in the fact that eastern writer's
painting his character tell of his work
as an artisan. No oriental. despising
work, could have imagined and depict
cd laborer as his Messiah.

AN EAST AFRICAN
MISSIONARY TALKS
Speaks on Mission Work to
the Congregation at st.
Clement S.

Rev. Willis r. Hotchkiss, for Is
years missionary in British East At
RIGA, represented the Laymen's move
ment at st. Clements church Sunday.
Reading the parable Of the good sd
marian he said in part: 'The ques-
ton of the lawyer, Who is my neigh
bor% is the question of the world to-
day. However separated by Eacial
prejudice, by society. by every line Of
cleavage. we are yet one N need. 1t
is everywhere the question asked By
Isaac of old. Where is the lamb Cor
the sacriice? Men are everywhere
conscious of sin within. and the wood
about them How shall they bring TO
this the FIRE of God above them? Since
the world began, men have been try
ing to find a meeting place with God.
where they might stand before him in
peace. So heather orgies and cere-
monies. however far fetched, echo but
a worldwide cry for Cod
Jesus answered the lawyers ques-
ton by asking another. which walS
answered readily, as many like ques-
tions are answered today, and showed
plainly the futility of religion which
is lacking in love. It is easy to talk
of love, but another thing to place
ones self deliberately by the side OF
the unlovely; easy to sing here, but
another thing to go out and put songs
into the hearts of others; easy to use
the phraseology Of religion, but quite
a different thing to live the Chris
like life"
Quoting Kiplings story of Tomlin-
"A IN
We done?" was after ali the test of our
lives After teaching. practicei after
worship. work; after hearing the
voices of God, the putting what we
have heard TO the test he said.
The Christian has no right TO dam
up the stream Of Gods love for the
selfish watering of his own little gar
den. The pool thus formed always
becomes stagnant and loses its fresh
ness The missionary question is not
one OF race but of need and oppor-
tunity. God pity us if we do only what
we like; what we enjoy doing; il we
cannot go out of our way in some de-
gree for him who went so far out of
his way for US. There are only two
sides in the world-this and the other
side. The other is easier if we are
not too religious, TOO conscientious. too
exclusively good, but Christ is ever on
this side amid the rocks and oriars
where men and women have gone
down in the fight. It is a wonder
when we think of the possibility OF
helping others that any of us can stay
at home-that we can selfShly ENJOY
our wealth when we think of the gar
dens our dollars would make for other
lives
True neighborliness is shown in
sacrifice The samaritan got down and
walked while the sick man took his
place in the saddle. 1t is hard always
TO get down and walk. TO give up any
of the comforts to which we have ac-
customed ourselves, but it is worth
while when we remember the assur-
ance. Inasmuch ats We did it unto one
of the least of these my brethren, We
did it unto me-"

versal peace. to fire the first real gun
of the Ell Paso missionary campaign
of peace for the evangelization of the
world.
Stationed at Lumbwa- British East
Africa as missionary from his church,
Rev. Mr.. Hotchkiss comes to the Ell
Paso meeting filled with the fire of
the missionery's zeal and his talk was
a forceful appeal t. the laymen pres
ent TO follow the leaders in the mis-
sionary move for the evangeliZation OF
the world.
1T is significant" he said. that lot
of men have gathered together for a
purpose like this. Great men are awak-
ening to the fact that the enterprise of
Jesus Christ is worthy of the consider
alton Of the keenest intellects, broadcast
craftsmanship; that iii s not a little
thing that can be done in a corner. The
work is moving along channels OF
world movement. We have come to the
day when we recognize that God cannot
convert the heather alone or that In
His infinite wisdom, he has chosen to
link himself with men.
1T is significant that men are awak-
ening to the fact that we must take
larger views of the. kingdom of Christ.
We must not have ward politicians
when the cry is for statesmen in the
kingdom of God.
Petty differences fall flat as man
gets alongside Of Jesus Christ and
looks at the world through his eyes.
IL ic not a question whether man is
black or white; poor or rich; cultured
or uncultured. The question is, is he
a man? Is he in need and have l the
power to meet his needs?
Work Demands the Best
Missionary work cannot be left
L.
practical that 1t demands the best the
church can give. David Livingston in
a letter which a saw in London, sound
ed the keynote of the missionary work
The one thing that I remember is May
you have strength TO suffer and the pa
thence to serve This motive is the one
that has inspired men Of all ages who
have accomplished anything great in
the world Nothing will call men and
hold them but this motive, the motive
of personal, individual allegiance to
Jesus Christ. 1 would not stay in
Africa five minutes in the dirt, and filth
and sQualor for any other reason than
this devotion to Jesus Christ.
God pity US If we are never to do
anything for Jesus Christ but the
things we want to do. Are We never
going out of our way for Him who
went so far out of His way for US.
Take your place in answer to the call
of Christ and the evangeliza ton OF the
world in the present generation shall be
realized"
