Miss Thompson addresses her letter, ''My
Dear Earnest Workers., and then she goes on
to say what bully good time she and the
other missionaries are having In China. She
says, fter a delightful summer at Chuziaog,
Our Chinese Mountain retreat, you know,
came down the mountain and spent the time
before Charlottes arrival visiting our Chi
nese missions. [ met so many delightful peo-
pie, some of whom had seen before at home,
others whom had known by reputation for
years [ visited Soochow, Hangchow, Tung
Shiany, Kashing, and enjoyed every minute
of my visits"
Miss Mary's letter is to be continued in the
next issue of the Central Presbyterian paper.
AS this paper is published in Atlanta [ sin
cerely trust that the Rev. j. W. Bailey will
send for it in order that he may properly i'm
bue his mind with the hardships and sacri-
fees which the poor foreign missionaries are
making for Christ.
IF Rev. J. w. Bailey will procure copy
of the Baptist Record, published in Jackson,
Mississippi, for April "A, 1910, he will learn
that the Southern Baptists are supporting
Pingtu, Shantung, China, the Oxyner Memo
rial Hospital, in which 8,796 patients were
given treatment last year. The same copy of
this Baptist Record, containing the statement
that the missionaries maintained in Japan
1876 schools where 1926 pupils are given edu-
cation, 13 hospitals and publishing houses.
The same thing prevails throughout the
Catholic world, and throughout heathendom.
We are not only undertaking to supply food,
raiment, shelter, medicine, doctors, surgeons,
trained nurses, hospital treatment, literary
education, industrial training, mechanical
training, etc., etc., to the heather in Asia and
Africa, but we are proposing to do it in Cen
trail America, South America, Cuba, Hayti,
Jamaica and Continental Europe
We have actually gone SO crazy on this sub
ject of rescuing the foreigner from ignorance,
illiteracy and poverty that we are buying up
little children throughout Asia and Africa, in
order that the orphanages may be supplied
with children who need the food, the raiment,
the home and the education.
In the name of the God of our fathers are
we never going to let charity begin within
our own households, and do everything pos
sible for the uplift of our own boys and girls
before we turn off into the Catholic and
heather worlds the millions that are needed
for our own flesh and blood?
Practically every missionary church in
China and Japan, as we'll as India and Afri-
ca, has attached to it, as regular portion of
the missionary outfit, a free drugstore,
free hospital, a free doctor, free surgeon
and trained nurse, whose services are also
given free of charge to those who are either
unwilling or unable to pay. Let me ask the
Rev. j. ". Bailey If he does not thir,t that
the people Of Warren County are as much
entitled TO that kiad of thing, as the zoa0er
races Of heathemdomo? Would 1t not do as
much good to the cause of Christ to attach a
dlspersary, hospital, q staff Of medical and
surgical assistants and trained nurses to the
churches an NOr2rOOd. O0manck Wouwent0n.
