Agatha, half-dressed, had slept, and
woke feeling that the night must be

still, with no sound or echo of the in
coherent tones which, for now many
days, had come from the room down
the hall. She lit a candle, and the
sputtering match seemed to fill the
house with noise. Her clock indicated

tween Campaign Doodle and
Diplomatic Appointments?

WHEN the rich Roman Catholic, Frederick
" Penfeld, gave $4,000 toward Woodrow
Wilson's election, he knew exactly what
would happen to him, if Wilson beat Taft.
At least, a rumor to that effect was afoat
during the campaign.
The rumor was that Penfeld had given
$780, 900 and upwards to the Wilson Doodle
bag; and that, if Wilson won, Penfeld was
to get big diplomatic appointment,
Wilson won: Penfeld is appointed Ana6as-
sadOr to the great LIST Glass empire of Austro-
Hungary: and the Romanist papers are

The Christian Index AT Last
Notices Rev. T. F. McCrea,
the Foreign Missionary.

yonder in China, where the heather is sitting
In darkness, began to write Open Letters to
his dear Baptist brethren, here in the Sunny
South, where we walk in the Light.
Brother McCrea wished to let his dear
Baptist brethren know that foreign missions,
as now conducted, were failure. He wished
to let his dear Baptist brethren know that,
American money, the Christianity disap-
peared when the money gave out.
But, Lord that's just what our dear Bap-
fist brethren-of the Index and Association
and Board sort-7id not qUant to learn.
If an angel from on high were to come to
tell them such disagreeable news as that,
they'd be tempted to rotten-egg the angel.
Therefore, when Brother McCreas letters
began to arrive from China a conspiracy Of
silence appears to have taken possession of
them.
Those letters were mailed to Baptist
papers, but they were pigeon-holed They
were sent to prominent preachers, but the
p. p's did not give them out.
The Association met in st. Louis and it
was we'll supplied aoith Roman Catholic liter
atabre against the Baptist Clergyman, j. 4.
Sc0r60rO, and the Baptist laynaa7o, Th08. E.
Watson; but there were no McCrea letters in
sight.
Brother McCrea evidently became con-
WINGED that his dear Baptist brethren of the
Boards never would let the public hear of his
letters and revelations, if he left the matter
to them.
So, he mailed me a supply. Then, happen
ings began to happen.

remarks about Bro. McCrea's letters, and I
also spread them over the country, in Wat

quite a buzz about it. The action or the
Shepherds of the People in trying to keep
the truth from the flock, has irritated the
sheep, and the sheep have been Fostering the
Shepherds.
At least, it looks that way, from the latest
issue of The Christian Index.
On page B, we find this headline
"OUR FOREIGN MISSION WORK
ARRAIGNED BY MISSIONARY Nc
CREA, CHEFOO, CHINA"
The Index says
"This brother is on the field, is Baptist,
and so far as we are concerned, we are willing
that he be heard"
Well it took the Index mighty long time
to get into that frame of mind. Would the
Index ever have been willing for McCrea to
be heard, if he had not first got full hearing
- in the independent periodicals of The Jeffer-
sonan Publishing Company?
The Index admits that it received Bro
McCrea's letters long ago. owe confess, how
ever, that we paid little attention to these
letters"
Why? 1T. W. Ayers writes to the Index,
clarifying a system which affords him pal
ace to live in, and at least three domestic
servants to do the house-work, the letter
appears in the Index, without delay.
Why should the Index ignore Bro. McCrea
when he writes, and tells the Southern Bap-
lists that the present METHODS of the
Board is wrong?

the grace that God is able to bestow
upon us, to overcome the temptations
which we must meet; and II we desire
to win In the fight, we must carefully
avoid all temptations that we can
avoid without neglect of duty. We
must think OF temptation as a thing
to be feared. and must pray earnestly
to be saved from It, or to be enabled
to resist It.
Paul says, LET him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall.
There hath no temptation taken you
but such as man can bear; but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that We are able; but
will with the temptation make also
the way of escape, that We may be able
to endure It," We can depend upon
Gods strength to support us in our
hours Of weakness and of temptation,
II we are striving to live in commun-
ion with God and to do his will If
We trust at all In the strength of our
own character as protection against
temptation it will inevitably fail us in
the time OF our greatest need.
That was Peters mistake. He was
so confident of his own courage and
steadfastness that even after Jesus
had warned him he asseverated his
own reliability, saying Though all
men should deny thee, yet will / new
err" God allowed Satan to tempt
Peter, and to gain a great victory over
him by forcing him to deny his Lord
in the most solemn manner, in order to
destroy Peters self-confidence that he
might learn to trust in the grace Of
God alone. And Peter was a stronger
and truer man and more devoted
disciple ever after because of his ter
rible fall.
Many weak and sorely tested dis
ciple has become so conscious OF his
own weakness and lack Of faith in the
time Of temptation that he has almost
lost heart. and yet, by just holding on,
even as by the skin Of his teeth, he
has won victory by the grace of God
which has brought him inb closer fell
lowship with Christ.

Two Phases Of "socIaI Service

Social service" is an alliterative
and fluent phrase which is often heard
IN these times. 1t commonly means
service for the body, food for the
hungry, clothes for the naked, and
coal for the shivering. But is this the
only kind of social service that can be
rendered? There are multitudes Of
people who neither hunger nor SILVER.
but are sad and idle and selfish. What
can be done for them? Are not ideals
and uplifting influences as much need
ed today as food and clothes and coal?
The church may not be equal to its
opportunities, but the opportunity
still exists. and the agencies and in
situations that can use it are still
necessary to a complete life.-The
Christian Register.
