IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITION
 AMONG TIE CHINESE MILLIONS
CRUEL CUSTOM OF STICKING INSTRUMENTS IN BODIES OF CHILDREN TO "LET OUT sPIRTs"-ToUcHINe THE 600 GOVERNMENT HIGH SCHOOL BoYs-UNREAcHED MILLIONS JAPAN-oPENNe MosLEM BoYs

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 12.-Spe- ciaI to the Yuma Daily Examiner by Ida Clyde Clarke-Mr Chas. A. Row land, writing from Peking, China says:
 "Why had that 10-year-old boy (whom I saw being treated in Dr. Woods hospital at Tsing Kiang Pup allowed two needles thrust into his body, one through the breast and one | through the back? It was deliberately done in order that needles might de- stroy or make a way of escape for the evil spirit that was supposed to cause the sickness. Cases are constantly coming to our physicians, with sores or wounds made in that way
 Then, the earrings so often seen in the ears of boys to deceive the evil spirits into thinking them only girls. and therefore not worth troubling. Boys you see are valued and girls are not and the spirits would not want a girl This practice is not exception al, but very common-all their life time in fear of death.
 This same fear is even more mani lest in their belief concerning the fu- ture life. Dr. Worth, at Kiangyin. had 27 cases of attempted suic de during the first 29 days of May. The larger number were women, who had quarreled with someone, most often their mother-in-law, and who wishe to die in order that their spirits might return to earth and torment the of lending one
 "If they do not keep up their ances- tral worship. burning money and other necessities for the dead they believe their spirits will come back and harass them-all their lifetime subject to bondage
 Couple, now, ignorance with their superstition, and one begins to realize | something of the task before the mis- ! sionary.
 The most hopeful feature of the | work in China at this period is the | Christian schools. Through these we 1 are training up Christians. both men and women, we'll grounded in the | truth-the future leaders of China. t is noteworthy that our school gradu- ates sand out conspicuously anon the native workers in the ministry ir he day schools, and in the hospitals
 Tn many places the only thing need ed for an immediate advance is morc native workers. For every schoo- graduate available, half-dozen place. stand waiting. Our miss. .onaries real ze this and emphasis is being plaC ed on Chris jan schools at every sta ton.
 "One other encouraging thing he type of Christian is on a stead, upgrade. We have again and agail net men who have embraced Chris t'aninty, to whom no one could as scribe any ulterior motive The gain ,ng of such men is indeed prophetic of new day for the church.
 We have been surprised to fina % little progress toward self-support of the churches. This is live ques ton now, and we believe the mission aries are setting themselves resoluteIy to secure this more uniformly.

BEWARE OF VERA CRUZ REPORTS

Until a few weeks ago the American press. was deluged with reports on the Mexican situation that bore the date line of Fl Paso, Texas. The Mexican Bureau of information at New York exposed the so-called Fl Paso cores pOndents, proving conclusively that they were sending stories intended to disrupt the Constitutionalist forces, The bureau also showed that these correspondents were in the pay of the reactionary interests and that they were not in direct touch with the situ- ation, and thus were not competent to write on the situation south of the Rio Grande.

Members OF the international
Bible Students Association have
discovered that this year marks
an unusual coincidence with the
Christian Good Friday and thu
Hebrew Feast of the Passover,
both coming on the same day. On
account OF the Christian church
accepting the calendar Of Pope
Gregory, in place of the lunar cal
endar OF the Hebrews, these holi-
days are sometimes a month apart.
but this year Good Friday comes
exactly as it did at the time OF the
crucitiXion. The international
Bible Students Association all
over the world celebrates the pass
over by the breaking OF unleayened
bread and the supping OF infer
mented vine, emhlematic of the
death Of Chust, although with
them, as with thu Hebrews, thie
ueua occurs a month before tht

merely compliance with legal
repHFements, and ratification OF
nominations. The next election
TO which the voters must turn their
attention IS the school election to

Two directors are to be elected
and the school tax voted. The
terms OF DR.. +. + Barlow and

Barlow has served very efficiently
as president OF the Board, and
while it IS generally understood
that he would like to be relieved
OF the responsibility OF the work,
it is also generally understood that
the public IS very DESTROYS of hay
ing him on the Board again and
will likely insist on his accepting
reelection. We understand that
Mr.. Morris, who has served very
acceptably as member from
Leavitt's, is also not a candidate
tor reelection, in which case II. c.
