SHE DEFENDS MISSIONS.
Juliet c. Smith Replies to Mayor Bill
lard's Criticism.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
A prominent citizen of Topeka is
reported as having said in the course
of the past week, that he could not
understand why church members sent
thousands of dollars out of the country
when there was SO much need here IN
our midst. AS such remarks are made
from time to time by those who do
not believe in foreign missions"
would be glad if you would permit me
to make q brief explanation through
your columns of our position, so that
even if our critics are ''of the same
opinion stir they can at least give
us credit for consistency.
A church member is a processing
Christian, that is, one who has pub
licly avowed allegiance to the living
Christ, relying on Him for strength
to do His will so far as he under
stands it. 1.-THE Master saith" is there
fore sufficient reason for all such.
Christ dealt largely in principles
and promises and sparingly in COM

not in some way help to send the

ably implies giving more to our own
