~ We are keeping up $4,000 so-caIled

Here Comes Brother 7. F. Me-
Creas OF Chef0O, China, yvitEa
Another Open Letter!

I71de1-Wr1tes once more on the subject Of
educating and saving China, qoh5ze olJoaoing
oar 0a0n country TO acadd5e oJong, unsaoed
and uneducated.
: This agitating subject has given the belly
ache to some of our most principallist breth
rem.
There's Dear Doctor Lovett, for instance:
he fairly shouts for joy because a0e are moa0
paySog eleven hundred doctors to meander
may dose, poultice, plaster, bleed, purge, sail
waite and l1ill-or-cure, scientifically.
Eleven hundred doctors are goodly legion,
in themselves; and if some of these doctors
are like some other doctors that you and [
have heard tell of, the heather, in large mum
bers, will go to glory, by short cuts.
Dear Doctor Lovett seems to think it is
perfectly fair and legitimate to afflict the
benighted heather with 1,1O0 doctors, who
couldn't make q living for goat, here at
home. He also believes that it is the SOLEMN
duty Of our home congregations to dig up
ducats for these 1,100 perambulating destroy
erS
All of which shows that if we are not crazy
about Foreign Missions, we would be looney
on something else; and so, therefore, we will
continue to play this human battery Of 1 100
pill-toters on the untutored heathen
They would die, some time or other, any
way
But what [ was trying my best to say
when you butted in, is as follows:
Brother T. F.. McCrea comes along with
another fearful array of common sense and
canonlcal Scripture to prove that we are
making ]ac}1asses of ourselves on this craze
Of Foreign Missions.
Of course, The Christian I1adeu is not going
To oil
scripture to appear in its hide-bound columns.
One reason why our churches are full of
empty Benches and are ready to c7agma61e at
the touch, FROM DRY BOT, is that
majority of our preachers are satisfied with
just such hide-b bound "organ" as this AFRO
giant I?adeU
But, be that as it may, all of us should
agree that when the very best Of our foreign
missionaries tell us that we have gone wrong,
on methods, we ought to stop, look, and listen.
There isn't word to be said against Rev.
I. T. McCrea. If there had been, you may
be dead sure that the Indeo would have said
it.
Brother McCrea knew that he was risking
the loss Of his job, and Of his popularity, by
i telling the truth about mission methods.
He knew what the Big Ike Boards had
done to every missionary who had dared to
tell the people the truth.
Therefore, McCrea virtually took his life
III his hands, when he determined to tell our
church workers that the Big Ike Boards had
gone wrong, on methods.
!, But he did it, all the same, and he is to be
henored for his grit

SANCTUARY FOR
CAME HIS SCHEME
Patapsco Preserve Of 1000 Acres
Proposed by W. McC. Brown.

A game sanctuary of 1000 acres, or
very little less. in the heart of the game
district of MARYLAND was the practical
probability placed before the Maryland
State Game and FishProtective Associa-
ton at its meeting in the New Howard
Hotel, Baltimore.
At the request of the president, DR..
B. Holly Smith, President W. McCul-
lob Brown, of the Maryland Conser-
walton Association and member of the
State Board of Forestry, told what
parts of this big preserve had already
been secured and what would soon be
added to it.
Mr. Brown also said that the Forestry
Board had the power to make all rules
for the preservation and of appointing
men with the authority to make arrests
and exercise the functions of game
wardens on this land, provided it met
their expenses and salaries.
One of the members asked Mr.. Brown
if this would or could be made into
game sanctuary. Mr. Brown replied
that sufficient power is already In the
hands OF the men who will control the
big tracts of land and that they would
gladly take such step, provided suffi-
cIent funds were in sight to meet the
expenses of salaries and upkeep. He
suggested that if the Game and Fish
Association wanted it badly it could
guarantee the salary of a permanent
game warden.
The idea took Immediately with the
members and so soon as the reservation
has been gotten into shape and all the
purchases made this Maryland Game
Sanctuary of abont 1900 acres of the
best game breeding land along the
Patapsco river willsbe pushed rapidly.
Mr.. Brown also told of the big meet
ing to be held February "a and % in
Mccoy Hall, at John Hopkins Univer-
sity, by the Conservation Association,
with the support of all similar organiza-
tions in the state, at which men OF
national repute in the different depart
ments of conservation would deliver
lectures. There will probably be four
sessions, with one devoted to an illus
trated lecture on the conservation OF
game and fish.
One of the interesting features of the
evening was the presence of Deputy
Federal Game Warden b. c. Speen-
berg, who broke up the notorious game
violations on the Susquehanna flats,
Barnegat Bay and other noted hunting
places for wild water fowl Though he
had not intended hating long in Mary.
land his attention was called to reports
of shooting with heavy guns on the
South river recently and of few pro-
posals to test the constltutionalty of
the law.
Mr. Speenberg took note of South
river, and stated that a thorough test
of the Federal laws copstitutionality
would take about $4,000 and five or
seven years.
Though Talbot Demead, chairman of
the legislative committee, was absent
on account of slight illness, it was
stated that the law for Statewide
gunner's license of 81 and a uniform
game law for the entire state would be
pushed throt Oh the Legislature ii
possible.
AS an evidence of the growth of the
association, 70 new members were pro-
posed and admitted at the meeting.
