A TEXAS LADY DRESSES DOWN
A PHARISEE.

y. M. Farrar, DID,
Pastor, LIST Ref. Church,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Dear Sir:-In the current issue of
The Christian Herald, you have writ
ten an article of unusual strength
and interest upon the child-labor
question. AS an interested reader, I
can not but admire the forcefuI ar
ray Of figures you bring forth, in sup
port of your plea, but I am filled
with wonder that you should see
proper to focus the attention of the
public upon the children of the cot
ton-f1elds of Texas.
[ am a Texan, and being an Amer
lean, and humane, have been inter-
eSted in the child-labor question for
several years, quite long enough, at
least, to know that we have over
worked and underfed children, in
Texas, as in other States; also that
we do have children picking cotton,
work which lasts about three months
of the year, and is necessarily done
in dry weather, and in fresh air.
Yes, there are children in the cot
ton-felds of Texas, DR.. Farrar, but
there are children much nearer you
in the cotton-mills of New England
to whom a year in the fresh air and
would be a veritable godsend
There are children, by the hun
dreds, perhaps, in our fields during
the three months of our cotton-pick-
ing season, but there are children, by
the tens of thousands in your fair
city of New York, who never have a
vacation as pleasant as is the regular
work of the children of the cotton
fields of Texas; children who go
forth, day by day, year after year.
to toll more hopeless and degrading
than is found in all the length and
breadth of the entire State Of Texas
There are children in the cotton
fields of Texas-usually children of
the people for whom they workout
there are children in your own sec
ton Of the country who are slaves
slaves of merciless system that
robs it's workers of their childhood,
their manhood, and their maturity
"a system that demands of them,
from their early childhood, unceas-
ing toi1-a system that keeps them
at work day after day in factories
and mines; 2 system with workers
who never ki Y the light of the sun
nor the purl~y of the air of God S
great out of doors.
If your BrooklynTexas friend
knew a little more of Texas cotton
fields, his remarks descriptive of con-
ditions supposedly general here
would bear more weight I have
seen many children go to the COTTON
patch, but I have never seen one
whose health was endangered there
by, but, on the contrary, have seen
them healthy, strong and happy.
If affairs in the cotton-felds of the
BrooklynTexas man are such as you
seem to indicate, and you will locate
these fields definitely, we will try to
see that conditions are ameliorated
In the name of the people of Tex
as, I thank both you and the Ma
tiona1 Child-Labor Committee fo1
your prayers, on behalf of "these
child-slaves'' of the Texas cotton
fields, and respectfully suggest that
during the remaining nine months
of the year you devote your time to
the Brooklyn-Texas gentleman.
Yours very truly,
GRACE I. PHILLIPS,

ONE OF THE LATE COUNT
T0LsT0rS BEST STORIES

The Optimist, Butte News: One
of Count Tolstoi's most beautiful
stories tells of a poor old Russian
'illager, who believeing that Jesus
of Nazareth would soon come back
TO earth, began to look for Him
daily.
Among those who passed his
m -keshift for a dwelling he searched
in vain for the figure he wished to
see. Day after day he peered though
the little light hole, hoping to have
his great desire satisfied.
He knew he would know his
Friend, for that Friend would be
robed in white and around His head
would be halo of light.
And he waited patiently
Winter came harsh and cruel as it
comes in that frigid land.
Snow lay deep in the streets and
the fields and bleak winds swept
like swirling legions of chilled spears
The old villager had to stuff the
hole in the wall, so he could no
longer look out.
He sat In his room shuddering as
he saw his stores grow smaller and
wondering why Jeseus of Nazareth
was so long coming.
At last there was a knock at his
door.
Quickly he opened it but the one
who stood there was not the expected
visitor. Just wretched traveller,
ragged and bedraggled.
The old man made him welcome,
however, by giving him the seat
nearest the fire and sharing with
him the last of his provisions.
But he was sorely disappointed,
for now if the friend came he
would have nothing to give Him. So,
wearied he sat down beside the
stranger and fell into doze.
Suddenly light filled the dingy
room and made it bright as day. and
the figure of Jesus of Nazareth was
| before him, saying:
81 am the outcast you have shell
tered and fed"
| When the old man aroused him
self the stranger was gone.
This story is true in bigger and
better way than mere yeracity OF
! events.
! 1t comes true to many of us daily.
We are hoping and working for
the big things, because we want to
| be happy and comfortable and we
think such profit must of necessity
dwell in larger form than that which
J fits lesser personages and happen
| ings.
We wait anxiously for the glow,
the grandeur, the great.
And all the while the common
things that have been ours from the
very first are holding for us what
we most crave.
All the while there is hid in our
mfsfortunes and our disappoint-
ments much that can be turned to
beauty and blessing, If only we will
use them as we should!
The sound of the trumpet is for
the few and for them it is not the
sweet music we think it to be.
The still small voice of the ev-
eryday thing, is after all, the finest
music in the land.
BY the little fires of our hearts
we sit and wait for the Heavenly
visitor, not knowing when they dc
come it will be in the form of those
We have dealt with all these days.
Not knowing that our best friends
often come to US in rags and tatters
OF beggars and wretched travellers
Not knowing, until we have lived
and learned, that sorrow and mis-.
fortune and loss are often blessings
in isguise---blessings that fill ou1
rooms with light and leave us won
dering why we should have so com
planned.
