Oriental fraua..

From tine TO Time our community
is visited by men Of swarthy skin and
oily tongues, who introduce Themselves
as pious missionaries from Persia, Tur-
key, syria, ana elsewhere in the dis
tant East.
Usually they travel IN the Biblical
way, two and two, affect ministerial
dress and wear clerical collar, but
med at the back Of the neck.
With unctious grace and adroit
skill, ttbey imporiune you to give them
money with which to huild churches,
schools, erphansges and hospitals in
their native land. They are abundant
ly provided with certain formidable
loo king documents written in Arabic,
which you are at liberty TO read ca
purperting to be credentials Of their
trustw orthiness from some high &c.
clesisstis in the remote orient. They
may also show some papers In En-
ghsh, which are claimed 20 be genuine
testimonials from certain we'll known
ministers ofprominent ehurches and
from state officials, certifying 10 their
good character.
These fellows are hard to get rid Of.
They hang on TO you with the peril
nacity OF a leech, in the effort to ex-
tort the coveted dollar from your pock-
ct. Dent give them cent? You can
set them down, with hardly single ex-
ception, as out and out fIauds reig
ious takers wso are prcying upon The
unsophisiieated sympathy and un-
suspicious eredulity Of generous. heart-
ed people.
The undeciperable credentials aud
the plaia testimonials that they carry
are forgeries, pure and simple, and
merely parts Of the game with which
TO take in the suckers .
Our country is swarmiag with these
willy Asiatics, who look npon the
churches OF America, and justly so, 1t
would seem, as rich harvest fields
where golden grains are easily reaped
fer the mere asking.
The missionaries on the grounds,
and the ienominational boards Of our
different cnuiehes IA tile United
States, are constantly warning our
people through the religious paper not
to waste their good money on these
ariful pretenders.
Net dollar that they get from you
ever goes TO the objects for which they
claim TO be gathering It In.
On the contrary. these INSCRIPTIONS
scoundrels return TO their country
loaded down with their "rake-ins,n to
live in ease and luxury. Their album
dant success encourages other "batch-
es' of their countrymen to head for
America, to repeat over and over again
the same looting process.
We have good reason to believe that
keyser has been found an s'easy
mark" by these Oriental mendicants,
and 1t is about time that we should
say to them when they appear at the
doer or try to invade our churches
"Pass onp' Or better yet, turn them
over to the police fer attempting to gel
money on false pretenses.
When you have gifts for benevolent
and purposes, be sure to put them In
the church collection basket. and then
you can be confident that they will
move along authorized channels and
reach the leg .timatc objects for which
you designed them.
The above warning IL prepared al
the request, and with the endorsement
Of the Ministerial Union Of Keyser.--
Tie Echo.
Respectfully,
