Man. Rev. Shelter is one Of the most
popular pulpit orators in the Christian
Church He was formerly the pastor Of

observation made by Rev. Shelter. To

These figures from their own Gen
eral Director Of Missions must be
very humiliating to church which
boasts that it is the only true Chris
tian church on the globe! The Mas
ter said, "By their fruits shall We
know them"
While the above figures show a
great lack of liberality on the part
of the rank and file of the Roman
Catholic church, and a lack of the
spirit of the Master, and a lack of
obedience to his commission to go
into all the world and preach the
gospel. The report goes on to show
that they support more missionaries,
and make a dollar go about six
times as far in their foreign mission
airy work as Protestants do. The
number of Catholic missionaries in
foreign fields, exclusive Of native
converts at work, is 1900, of whom
10000 are priests, 1900 teaching
brothers and $4,000 nuns. These
get from their foreign missionary
Board on an average Of little less
than Sill per capita. With this
they support themselves, build
churches, maintain schools, hospit-
ais, asylums, colleges, pay the trans
portation of missionaries, etc.
These results, from the small
amount OF money, are as remarkable
as the lack Of missionary spirit
shown by the rank and file Of their
membership. Both the facts and
figures I commend to the considera-
ton of the readers of the Advocate.

makes this possible. During the
holiday season of 1910 the British
postofice held because of insufficient
addresses 100 turkeys, 500 brace of
pheasants, 500 parcels of poultry,
500 parcels of eggs and butter, and
ESQ plum buildings. This shows
something of the variety of produce
sent through the British parcels
post.
Similar conditions prevail in Ger
many and other countries which
have long enjoyed the privilege of
shipping moderately large packages
through the mails at very moderate
rates. When this nations newly
authorized parcels post has been full
~ established one may assume that
it will be possible for city families
to get fresh country butter, eggs
and other delicacies direct from the
farms quickly and at slight expense.
In the debate in the senate recent
1y on the parcels post bill figures
were introduced showing that last
years agricultural products in the
United States were worth to the far
mers $9,000,000,0 900. Assuming
that farmers kept one-third Of these
products for their own use, they re-
ceived $4,000, 100000 for what they
sent to market. But these products
finally sold to the consumer at 3d.
00,000,000. The difference, or
$4,000, 100000, was the charge for
distribution-more than twice what
the producer received.
That it should be possible to save
much to the consumer by bringing
him into direct contact with the pro-
Queer is clear without reference to

SKULLS AND CONVERTS.

(F'rom Living Issues, San Fran
cisco.
The greatest paper in the City of
Mexico is The Two Republics, pub
lished daily in English and Spanish.
Under the heading, ga Gruesome
Find" it printed the following in
June:
''The drainage and sanity works
are now busy in the streets in the
neighborhood of Santo Domingo, in
front of the School of Medicine. On
Tuesday the workmen opened a
ditch and encountered at a metre
and a half of depth, large guam
tity of human bones, which natural
ly attracted crowds of curious peo-
pie. There we're dug out skulls and
bones of all shapes and sizes. and
there must have been two hundred
skulls alone. The street urchins
thought the opportunity for
a lark was not to be missed and be-
gan using the bones as projectiles,
until the police interviewed It is
probable these bones are a relic of
the Inquisition and the old convent
days. Finally the bones were put
on a car and taken to the charneI
house at Dolores cemetery"
The little attention the "gruesome
find" excited is an indication it was
no noVelty-that Mexico is used to
that sort of thing. Such "relics''
must make Mexicans rejoice that
converts Of that country are prac-
tically a thing of the past-no more
foolish females are allowed to be-
come "brides of Christ" and the
converts will close with the death
Of their present inmates. It's hard
lines on the priests and will lessen
future skull crops.

the Filipino people.
That there will be graft and graf
ters who follow the flag seems to
be true in any new territory, and
the editor of the Filipino People
expressed himself in manner
that recalls the CARPET bag
rule, which cursed the South in the
early days of the Reconstruction
days, under the head of CARPET
Bagging in the Philippines
The article reads:
''The action of the Democratic Ma
tfonal Convention in unseating the
would-be delegates who had been
sent by a small group of Americans
resident in the Philippines to parti-
cipate in the Baltimore meeting de-
serves high praise. Especially does
this appear when the decision is con-
trasted with that which was reached
by the Chicago convention wherein
the Philippine delegates sent by
small group of Republicans resident
in the islands were given places.
The issue was of more than tempo
rary political Importance for it in
volved far-reaching principle. This
is the reason why Mr.. Quezon and
the Anti-Imperialist League have
done all they could to oppose the
seating of these delegates.
1.-THE question really at stake was
whether the Philippine Islands, like
other parts of the United States, are
to be treated as in every sense self
governing community Or whether
they are to be dealt with as if the
only interests involved were those of
foreigners who happen to be tempo
rarily resident there. Thus far the
carpet-bag system of government
- taken firm hold of the islands.
IS been seen in the tariff system
toby everything is given to AM
,o44oetn traders and every disadvan-
tage is placed in the way of those of
other countries. It has been seen
likewise in the disposition to dis
eliminate sharply between the
American Office holders and the Fill
pinos who have been permitted to Sc
cure places in the public service of
the islands. 1t has been seen again
in the political attitude which the
Republican party has continuously
maintained toward insular interests
ever Since Tie uISL UayS OIL IuO
American occupation. The request
of local Americans to speak for the
Philippines at national party con-
ventions is based upon the assump-
ton that this sort Of policy is to be
continued indefinitely and that there
is to be no relief from the domina-
ton thus far exercised by the for
eignefs who regard themselves as
the sole parties in interest.
esThere can of course be no defense
of the system by which it is sought
to recognize local Americans as the
representatives of insular opinion.
They are not properly entitled to
more weight than an equal number
of other inhabitants and even to
that only in the degree that they
actually participate in the affairs of
the islands and conduct themselves
as good citizens. Any other mode of
treatment would mean that the idea
of any self-government for the
Philippines had been thrown to the
winds and that the arbiters of their
destinies we're to be small oligar-
chy of foreigners. This question is
entirely independent of that of the
political status of the Philippines
for the future. 1t is problem that
rests entirely on it's own basis.
Though the islands were to be re-
taxed forever by the United States,

A WONDERFUL CONTRAST.

am profoundly impressed with
some facts given to the public last
week in the report of Monsignor
Freri, the general director of the So
ciety for the Propagation of the
Faith-of the Roman Catholic faith
He tells us that the Roman Catholics
of the whole world, last year, gave
for foreign missions $1,342, 292.27.
This is not much more than half OF
what the Northern Methodists gave
during the same time. The Roman
Catholics claim, I think, over two
hundred million adherents in the
world, and yet give about half as
much for foreign missions as less
than three million Methodists! It
seems to me that the pope of Rome
ought to try to get the Methodist
brand, instead of raising such
howl over the four thousand Meho-
diss in Rome.
And strange to say, again, in those
countries where the Catholic church
dominates the most, and are least
Influenced by, Protestant en-
croachment, the gifts for foreign mis-
sions are the least. For instances:
