Letters From the Readers of The Georgian

Nj. r. Church South. Its headline
Is DIR. Ainsworth TO be a candl-
date for Bishop" and its contents
state alleged facts in keeping with
the headline. DIR. Ainsworth Is a
friend OF mine, and / took the lib
erty Of calling his attention TO
the item which bore the date line
OF dispatch from Macon. He
writes me as follows: my Dear
Doctor-Yours to hand | DO not
take any Atlanta paper. aud have
not seen the dispatch referred TO
by you. know nothing what
ever about II. Yours sincerely.

The item seems to misunder-
stand Methodist policies IN regard
10 the creation of bishops. Bish-
ops are elected by the General
Conference of the Church. which
meets once every four years. The
next meeting will be IN Oklahoma
City In May, 1914. This confer
ence will decide whether any
bishops will be elected In no
case does man become a cam

Missionary Work That Is Left Undone

n NUCH home missionary work
M Is done by churches all
over our land; yet that
much is left undone which could
be done and that time and money
spent in large part of the for
elgn mission work could be better
employed at home is painfully
true.
The world is Gods House, and
in housekeeping good workers
know they must distribute their
labors over the whole mansion
and not leave any part OF ii I'M
tidy.
SO in missionary work; It is
wise and well to send toilers and
money to teach the people in dis
tant lands a religion which In
cludes hygiene and which helps
women and children to be freed
from the bondage OF unwhole-
some superstitions and traditions.
Only in this way can the world
be swept and ganished. and the
race made safe from pestilence.
At the same time, vast sums Of
money are used in foreign mission
work which might be put to the
most important ends here al
home. There is youth condemn
cd to life imprisonment who was
brought up in an American town
bristling with church spires, and
who lived In sound Of church bells.
yet no man or woman made the
slightest effort To lead this lad
into right ways; no one exerted
any influence TO better his
Wletched home conditions, no one

wv methods in America.
II Is different in Eng
land" The formula has been re-
peated from coast to coast in the
course OF discussions aroused by
Mrs. Pankhurst's visit. What is
the 'it' which is different in
England? Somebody ought to be
able TO answer.
There are variants upon the
formula. Sometimes it runs,
Things are different in Eng
land" and then one wants to
know what things. But when
certain influential women in this
country escape from indefinite
ness and explain their sympathy
with Mrs. Pankhurst and the
militants in phrase which is
now becoming common, 1.-THE
laws are different in England" a
man like myself. reasonably ia
miliar with British law, bess for
enlightenment.
In what respect TO British laws
press more hardly upon British
women than American laws upon
American women in the States
where women are still unenfran-
chised?
An Important Matter.
This matter is important. Here
is Mrs. Pankhurst pledging her
self not to advocate militant
methods in this country, and
American women pouring money
into her hands for the purpose of
financing militant methods in
England, alleging as the reason
why they themselves will not be-
come militant" in America while
they want women in England to
burn houses, wreck trains, throw
hatchets and explode dynamite
bombs-alleging IS the reason
why they ST Id keep themselves
safe while other women endure
imprisonment and tc-trTe-that
the. laws are different in Eng
land" 1t is a fair question:
What laws?
With one reply the distin-
guished ladies referred to will be
ready: The divorce laws are I'M
equal and bad. They are. About
this there is no dispute. An
Englishman can divorce his wife
for an offense for which she can
not divorce him. And in my view
this admits of no defense.
Yet the explanation is easy.
The Englishman is consistent and
he has the courage-it may be,
the brutal courage-of his con-
victions. The law to which the
American man submits is better
than the mans own convictions.
IT is the secret belief of nine out
OF ten men in America that there
is one law of morality for men
and another for women. He con-
dones in himself and in mis- own
son that which he would neither
condone nor tolerate in his wife
or his daughter. He has to sub
init to equal divorce laws; but the
average man is easily confident
that what is for his wife a crime
is for himself trivial affair.
The Englishman expresses in
his law his deep convictions of the
generations. He holds that an
offense is a worse offense when
committed by wife than when
committed by husband And so
he makes his divorce law unequal.

No Second Instance.

Yet the sense of humor is not
extinct in America. And it will
not be seriously held that this in
equality in the laws of divorce
constitutes that difference"
which justifies incendiarism and
outrage and recourse to dyna-
mite bombsl
What other laws can be quoted?
Up to the present moment, in all
the utterances of all the Ameri-
can sympathizers with English
mllitants which have come under
my notice, not a second instance
has been named. Is there an
other?
The simple fact is that in Great
Britain the woman possesses po-
litical power far greater than that
possessed in any part Of America
other than the nine woman suf-
frage States and Illinois. This is
not generally known, but it is a
fact And the women who profess
that they sympathize with Mrs.
Pankhurst and the militants be-
cause the laws are so different"
do not know what they are talk
ing about.
Franchise laws are not the same
in different parts of Great Britain,
any more than they are uniform
in all parts of this country. So a
little care must be exercised in
stating them. But broadly they
come to this:

WAYS OF PREPARING sAG0
Dessert That All Children Like May
Be Served With or Without
the Apples.

With Apples.-Wash thoroughly one
cup Of sage. put in double boiler with
one quart of cold water. Cook over
slow fire until clear. Have ready
pared and cored whole enough apples
to stand closely in bottom of pudding
dish. Their size win regulate num-
Der; and fill apples where cores were
cut out with white sugar. Can flavor
as desired A few whole cloves stuck
in apples are nice, but lemon peel. or
orange peel, cut very fine, is nice also.
l use first one flavoring, then another.
AS soon as sage is clear pour 1t over
the apples and bake in quick oven
until the apples are done. Serve with
rich cream.
Without Apples.-Prepare sage as
before, using a little less water. When
clear pour into pudding dish, and pour
on top a custard made of three eggs
and pint of rich milk. Bake slowly
until custards is set. This is best
served cold. Makes an excellent des-
