such a refusal shuts up the springs
or liberality, and, as a rule, they do
FAR less than the people who have the
missionary spirit. This objection re-
minds us of the carping OF Judas
when he complained that the box of
precious ointment with which Mary
had annointed Jesus might have been
sold for a goodly sum and the money
given to the poor. Our Lord re-
buked Judas for his littleness of soul
and said, "The poor We have always
with you, and whatsoever ye will ye
may do them good" Let us Keep
sharp lookout for the Judas spirit.

STEPHENSON'S EXPENSES.
New York Comment Oh Revelations
in the Wisconsin Inquiry.
(From the New York World) }


1t cost $107,793 to re-elect Uncle
Ike Stephenson as senator from Wis
consin. The senatorial investigating
committee, sitting in Milwaukee,
asked Mr.. Stephenson what he had
done with the money. The senator
had not thought 1t worth while to
keep tabs on such trifling sum.
There was $11, 900 tor postage
double the cost Of mailing q circular
to every voter in the State. There
were sums Of $4,000 and $4,000
paid over to campaign managers.
The senator complained of the cost,
but only In general way" Men
came and got money from him, and
afterward proved to be candidates for
the legislature, to his surprise When
the legislature met, three Democrats
stayed away, making 1t possible for
stephenson to be elected, but he had
no idea why they did it. His trust
was touching:
Now, l am president of more than
a dozen active industries in This State,
and have In my employ more than
5000 men, some Of whom have baen
with me for SO years. In them I
have every confidence. do not
pay any attention to the details of
tHese lHuuSllleS. JUST SO, when my
campaign for nomination by the pri-
maries in 1908 came up could not
lie awake nights trying to figure how
the postage was used. I gave sums
Of money to my managers, and told
them to carry on avigorous campaign
and do everything to elect me, ex-,
ceDt that they must keep within the
law.
And they did. They all say they
did. The money was spent mainly
In travelling expenses and salaries.
Rodney Sackett, a Federal employee,
and one Of the Stephenson aids,
handled $9S,000. He tore I'D the
card index record of expenditures.
never thought Of bribery charges; the
cards had merely become worn and
dirty. That seems straight enough.
Designing men must have deceived
the innocent old Senator and his
equally unsophisticated managers.
ne did not need to spend a cent.
His service to the State had been so
distinguished, he had especially OBJ
posed the Vaccinations Of the lumber
trust in Washington so zealously,
that the people were eager to elect
him. 1t was a shame to take his
money.

VI uoliolcu ny ltcQucSl,
No honest cause has any fear of
just criticism, either by friend or
foe; but the best Of causes can be in
jured temporarily by misrepresenta-
tions, misleading statements or di-
rect falschoOds. In the end truth is
mighty and will prevail.
1t is to the glory Of foreign mis-
sion work that it cannot be success
fully opposed by even the shrewdest
antagonists who use only the truth
in warfare. One OF the best argu-
mcnts for foreign missions is that it
is cause so noble, so sacred, so
Christ-likc that its opponents have
to base their OPPOSITION on half-truths,
which are the worst forms of error,
or else depend on outright misrepre-
sentatiOn.
The Foreign Mission Board and its
missionaries do not lay claim to in
fallibiity. There are, OF course, pos
sibiities Of Mistakes; and yet all Sc
rious OBJECTIONS to the efforts put
forth are easily answered by SIM
pie statement Of facts in each case
Let us notice. for illustration, a few
of the most widely-publishcd obicc-
tions to this work.
That the members Of the board re-
ccivc large salaries out OF the for
eign mission money.
There is no truth at all in this
statement. The secretaries of the
board and the treasurer who give
their whole time to the work, re-
ceire living, such as is given to
many OF our pastors. The eighteen
members OF the board, whose votes
decide all questions and who give
much valuable time and earnest
thought to the work, do not receive
one cent OF compensation
1t is charged that the board paws
the missionaries large salaries, which
have an immense purchasing power
in foreign lands, thus enabling them
to live in luxury.
There Is not one atom Of truth In
this statement. The board consci-
entiously tries to give the mission
aries what they actually need to meet
their necessary expenses. They do
not live In luxury. They are often
hard pressed financially. Sometimes
when they have heavy expenses, as in
eases Of sickness, which are not un-
usual in foreign climates, they would
be in actual need without special help
from the board. The charge that
they live In indulgent luxury Is a
LIBEL against most self-sacrificing
company Of men and women. Who
ever knew Of missionary who has
gotten rich off Of the money paid him
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1911-10-25

ny Cne BOARD. ASK those Of them
who are at home on furlough If the
missionaries are rolling in wealth
and luxury. Ask the men Of business
who have travelled in mission fields
just for the purpose of examining
into these matters. Their testimony
in refutation of the charge will con-
vince any unprejudiced man.
Objection Is raised to the keeping
OF servants by the missionaries.
When it is possible, they do keen
servants, and it Is a wise economy,
because 1t enables the women mis-
sionaries to give their time and
strength to missionary work. AS a
rule, the servants are inexpensive,
but, whatever the cost may be, it is
pald out OF the meager salary OF the
missionary. No one who loves the
cause OF winning the lost to Christ
enough to contribute money to it has
any reason to object to a missionary
employing a servant to do the house
hold work while she conscicntiously
gives herself TO the more difficult
task OF trying to carry the gospcl to
the heather women. 1t pays well for
missionary, who receives $50 a
month, to give a cook and a nurse
two dollars each, instead Of staying
at home and doing the work herself.
1t is charged that the editors of
the UNCONVENTIONAL papers receive
foreign mission money for advocat-
ing the cause.
This statement is simply silly, No
Baptist paper in the South receives
one penny OF the money contributed
to missions, but, on the contrary,
they all give space to mission matter
that, on commercial basis, is worth
thousands Of dollars. The opponents
Of worldwide missions arc not able
to understand such unselfish service
to good cause.
1t Is argued that vast numbers of
the poor people and needy children in
this country are left to suffer and are
neglected religiously because so
much money is given to foreign mis-
sions.
This claim also is based on an ut
terly false assumption. In the first
place, out OF every $25 raised for re-
ligious and charitable purposes only
one dollar is given to foreign mis-
sions. We are already doing at least
twenty-four times as much for the
people at home as we are doing for
the heathcn In the next place, our
Christian people are abundantly able
to supply every case Of either mate
rial or religious destitutlon at home
and still do far more than we are
doing for foreign missions. Finally,
no one who contributes to foreign
missions would ever dream of maxi
Ing that an excuse for neglecting
needy objects at home; and 1t Is safe
to say that no one who refuses to
give to foreign missions is ever in
