the CAMERON JOHNSON LECTURES

Tho Editor OF The Citizen has
heard and seen each of the SPLEEN
did lectures given under the auspi-
ces Of the Y. NJ. C. A. by Mr.. Gamer
on Johnson; the first on Japan, the
second Korea and the third. China.
The lectures are of such high char
acter, the views so unusual in their
quality and the spirit OF the man
such as TO give a new conception of
the work of the missionaries in these
foreign fields. Ordinarily. the missi-
onary address that We hear makes
but little appeal and is scarcely of
such a nature as to incline one TO en-
ter into the foreign work, but under
these lectures one wishes for youth
again and an opportunity to prepare
for this splendid service.
A notable feature of MIR. Johnson's
lectures was the absence of any
thing that could offend the most
sensitive japanese, Korean or China
man. In fact, the views given were
such as TO advertise the beauties of
that country and the splendid worth
of the people. They are on a paral-
ell with the admirable views given
Of Cincinnati by the Boosters. whose
only object was the advertising OF
the city.
This comparison at once suggests
itself, and a contrast, however. was
no less apparent. IL is this. Our
own mountain region is considered
a missionary field by the most of
the world and the chief Protestant

DR.. WILSON'S ADDRESSES

The College and Bereans in gen.
eral have been greatly favored dur
ing the last week by the visit Of
DR.. Warren IL. Wilson who is COM
missioned by the Presbyterian Church
TO study the country church in the
United States and seek a solution
to the so-called rural problem. DR..
Wilson published last year a book
'"The Church of the Open Country"
and he is in great demand through
out the Union as a speaker on the
problems of country life.
His first address in Berea was
given before the Sunday night au-
dience in the Chapel and was enthus-
iastically received. 1t will likely be
published in full in The Citizen in
early issues. Monday morning he
spoke before the United Chapel and
in the Upper Chapel Monday even
ing.
DIR. Wilson lays at the door OF the
church and upon the ministry the
the blame for much of the deca-
dence which is evident in rural com
munities and the failure Of farmers
TO keep pace with other professions
in the modern world. While he holds
that the cultivation of the spiritual
is the chief function of the Church.
he has little but censure for those
churches and those ministers that
have taken no part in the work of
this world, but have supinely acqu-
iesced in the retrogression around

RECALLING JUDICIAL DECISIONS
The Pineville Sun, in its editorial
columns, commends the work of the
Circuit Court of Bell during the last
year and points out that the Grimm
al docket is almost clear. Last year,
and for two or three years previous,
the county experienced an almost
weekly succession of murders, and
life was hardly safe anywhere. Now
the editorial says that peace and quiet
reign turnout the county; and that
the criminal, notwithstanding his
standing in the community, has been
brought to the realization that to
transgress a law means punishment.
The sinister note in the editorial,
however, is the comment on the fact
that some of Bells notorious cri-
minals are expecting to be paroled
by the present commission, Frank
Ball and Nick Henderson for inst
ance. In connection with this ex-
pected wiping out of the work of
the court comes the announcement
that Curt Jett and Tom White Of
Breathitt County are hopeful of get
ting out also.
Thus it would seem that while
Kentucky is suffering in the eyes
