 NOT CALLED FOR
By Spanish American War Vet. erans Who May Yet Receive
 Amounts Due.

To the Members of Company F.
 2nd Arkansas Infantry, Vol
 unteers.
 General w. K. Surridge has been busy for the past few days at the State House drawing off all names of Spanish-American war veterans that have not re- ceived the back pay which was allowed them by the Govern ment. All Members of the 1st and 2nd regiment of the Span- ish-American war who have not received their back pay can ob- tain same by writing Major Eu- gene B. Jett, at Little Rock. Should the soldier be dead his nearest relative can collect same. About four years ago our gover- nor was notified that the govern ment was indebted to the Span ish-American war veterans back pay from the date they reported for duty at their home camp grounds, which was an act pass ed by Congress March 3, 1899. As they only received pay from the time they arrived at Little Rock, and mustered into service by the United States govern ment. I at once volunteered my services, without pay, to try and obtain their back pay for the two Arkansas Regiments, but upon investigation 1 found the first order issued by Govern or Dan w. Jones, who was Gov ernor at that time, had been burned up with many other old papers, which was considered to be of no value or importance, so l I then had to find something of different proof to get the date this order was issued, ordering 1 the mobilization of the troops at their home stations, for from memory Governor Jones could |not remember the date of his or der mobilizing the companies at their home stations, and as we were mobilized at our homes several days before being order ed to Little Rock, remembering that the Arkansas Gazette had always published orders issued by the War Department and or ders issued by the Governor, l at once called upon MT. Heiskell, the owner of the Gazette, who very kindly directed me to the county court house where, in the garret of that building, the old files of the Gazette were stored After about four days search ing in the dust and smoke, ] found the Gazette with the or ders that were issued by the War Department to all govern ors to mobilize the state troops lat their home stations, also was IGovernor Jones' orders to the |various captains of the state te comply with the War Depart ment's order.

For each child up to ten years of age, $500
a year
For each child after 10 years up to IS,
$3.50 a year.
The salary of missionary begins when
he reaches his field of labor, and ceases the
day he leaves his post on the foreign field.

When the missionary comes home on fur
Tough the Board makes a special provision
for home allowance. This is at the rate Of
$500 year for single missionary, $1,000
for a married couple. The allowance for
children is the same as while on the field.
This home allowance begins on the day the
missionary leaves the foreign field, and con-
tinues for twelve months. At the end Of
twelve months it ceases unless special pro
vision is made by the Board In returning
to the foreign field after furlough, the mis-
s1onary IS not expected to draw any salary
while on the return trip going out to his field
of labor. His salary will begin again when
he reaches the field
The Treasurer Of the Mission should pay
a returning missionary his salary up to the
date of the misslonarys leaving the field.
The home allowance is to be paid by the
treasurer at home.
In every instance, the treasurer on the
field, and also the missionary returning
home, ought to notify the treasurer of the
Board in Richmond as to the date when the
returning missionary leaves his field, so that
the home treasurer will have no trouble in
deciding when the home allowance to said
returning missionary should begin"
It should have been stated in the above
that, at the very minute the salary stops, the
allowance for travelling expenses begins!
Thus the foreign missionary is aza0ays in
clover. When he works, his pay goes on:
when he rests, his pay goes on and whether
at home resting, or abroad working, he
draws the fodder for his children!

What does Doctor Ayres say about the cost
of living, in China?
On that subject also he gives the thing
away; he says that a servant will work for
whole year for $40 and board himself
Think Of that
You have recently been told by some of
the foreign missionaries, that it costs more
to live in Japan and China, than it does here
III America.
I have been contending to the contrary; it
has been my contention all along, that our
money in Japan and China will buy at least
five times as much over there, as 1t Will buy
in this country
Doctor Ayres corroborates me; he defends
the employment of Chinese servants upon
the very ground that the servants can live so
cheap and work so cheap.
For little more than So month, the China
man can work for the missionary and find
his own victuals and clothes while doing 1t.
If the native Chinaman can clothe HIM
oil I, lob for lncS
than 81 per month, what could the mission
airy of Jesus Christ live on, if he were
indeed as self-sacrifcing a creature as Doc
tor Ayres represents?
IF all of these theological bricks moulded
by the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary, are, III truth ''men who would will
hnglV make any sacrifice for Christ" why
do they never make any!
How does Doctor Ayres know that these
men, who insisted that their salaries be raised
from $500 year to 5000, would willingly
make any sacrifice for Christ, even to the
giving Of their own lives?
When native Chinaman sells his labor
to the missionary for less than 81 a month,
furnishing his own victuals and clothes,
while the missionary gets $50 month, paid
as regularly as the new moon comes, who IS
it that is making the sacrifice?
Who is it that is living closest to the
example of the Apostles, the first foreign
missionaries
DR.. Ayres says that, owing to conditions
in China, eggs have to be bought at one
place, and turnips at another. That's pretty
bad 1t must be especially bad on the mis-
sionary's servant who needs both the eggs
and the turnips and who has not the time
nor the money to 60 after either, for him.
self.
Does Dr. Ayres expect us to believe that
the missionary gives his full time, from day
GuL+ +o Jor1- ohipO tho U0cDn1 onH
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-07-31

his time, when he IS not IN pursuit OF the
languishing heather?
Could he not, if he tried right hard, go
after those eggs and those turnips?
Repeatedly, Doctor Ayres refers to the
missionaries salary as his own money
When does it become his own money?
Would he ever get so much of that money
from the Woodworking church-members IN
America, if those church members knew that
the missionary could live comfortably in
China and Japan, on 500 per year?
There is another point of illumination in
the letter of Doctor Ayres: it is, that the
government of China supports such a mag
nifcent school system, that teacher IN one
Of these government schools, gets "a salary
four times as large as that paid a single mis-
sionary."
So attractive are these heather schools,
established and maintained by the heather,
that Doctor Ayres own son-in-law was
seduced, turned his back upon the noble,
self-sacrifcing missionary work. and went
over to the heather. to teach the heather, in
a heather way, in heather school, at
heather, but irresistible salary of $4,000
year.
At that rate, the heather are likely, to
capture, not only the sons and daughters of
our foreign missionaries but the mission
aries themselves.
[ must say that Doctor Ayres' lines seem
to have fallen In pleasant places.
The Lord has been good to him.
The Doctor pulls the American Christian,
while his daughter and his son-in-law pull
the heather Chnee, and thus the Ayres
family puts lots of corn in the crib whether
1t rains or not
Doctor Ayres innocently remarks that
missionary or teacher in China, cannot afford
to lose the respect of the heather, nor to be
considered stingy, by the heather, nor ito
destroy his influence in order to lay up a few
dollars in bank"
1t must be delightful experience which
the missionary enjoys; rather than be con-
sidered stingy he will spend YOUR money
with unfailing generosity; rather than lose
the respect of the heather he will draw very
heavy drafts on the respect of the Christians
who have to finance the said missionary.
Rather than destroy his influence over the
heather, he will sternly sacrifice himself to
the. extent Of employing at least three domes-
tic servants to annoy him with their presence
and their ministrations.
Doctor Ayres says that all these mission
aries turned out from the colleges and from
our Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,
are "men who would willingly make any sac
rlfice for Christ even to the giving of their
own lives"
Let us hope that Doctor Ayres is right in
his estimate Of these noble men; let us hope
that Doctor Ayres himself is a man of that
heroic type.
That being so, let us cut their salaries
down Immediately to $3.50 per year, which,
IN China, is equal to about i've times that
amount in this country.
Even on that basis of reduced pay, the for
eign missionary will be immensely better
better paid than our home preachers are.
