posted should challenge the statement.
Proof is called for, and the average reader
is not prepared to meet the demand.

nounced me as liar, 1etruct and apologize?
He did not.

me for saying the foreign missionaries lived
In luxury, enjoyed yearly vacation of three
months, on full poy, and got $500 apiece

and when [ had substantiated my statements
by publishing the pictures Of missionary man
slons, missionary servants, and the letters Of
the missionaries themselves, did The Inder
retract and apologize?
1t did not.
On the contrary, it fatty refused me space
In its columns to defend myself against its
charges; and 1t also refused space to the Bdp-
list missionary, Rev T. T. NcCrea, aOho aOrites
from CHINA that may contentious about the
results Of the present methods ore absolutely
correct
Only few days ago, Baptist minister in
Alabama denied stoutly that our Baptist Mis-
sion Board paid the foreign missionaries $500
head, each year, for each child
Yet, in last weeks Christian Index, Rev. DE-
no 1oyo4 a tba Roo r5o IF
the Southern Baptist Convention, verifes my
assertion.
Replying to questions asked by W. S.
Walker Dr. Smith says
The usual salary is 5000 year for each mis-
sionary, or $1,000 for man and his wife. Each
missionary family is allowed 500 year for
every child under ten years of age, and $3.50 for
every child between ten and eighteen years of
age This is necessary, owing to the great diff
Guilty and expense which the missionaries have in
educating their children. In addition to this, the
Board furnishes homes for the missionaries. We
will be glad at any time to give you any informa-
ton in our power

Now let us put our thinkers to work on

In the first place, he admits that the mar

a year, although they reside in Eastern coun-
tries, where the cost of living is not one-ffth

Where is the justice of paying the man and

tenn of missions. sobach Aas no qcuJrant ac1tut-
erer IN Scripture.
Mr.. Walker asked DR. Smith several other
questions, which [ will discuss next week, and
wound up with this one:
7. What grade of men and women do you send
out missionaries?
Ans "First-class every way The very best"
DR., Smith says that he sends out ''the very
best men, first-class every way" Thank you,
Doctor.
One of these missionaries sent out by DR..
Smiths Board, is Rev. T. T. McCrea, who
is certified by Brother Smith to be S'frst-
class every way. The very best"
Sad to relate he contradicts Brother Smith
on the most material points.
Brother Smith tells Brother Walker that
there are no ''rice Christians" among our
Chinese ''converts"
Yet, Brother McCrea wrote to Brother
Smith and to the Southern Baptists generally,
from Cheefoo, China, Just te0o gears ago, tell
ing the Boards and the Baptist papers, that
"a zanaent0b1y large proportion of our church
members are RICE CHRISTIANS"
What is "rice Christian?"
1t IS a pretended convert who quits pretend
ing to be one, as soon as the missionary quits
paying him your money or feeding him. or
schooling his children.
Why did DR.. Smith suppress NcCrca's let
ter?
WHY DID TIE CHRISTIAN INDEX
REFUSE TO PUBLISH IT?
Why are not the Baptists entitled to know
the truth about this foreign business achich
calls for so much money, when they badly
need all of their cash here at homer
Rev. t. f. McCrea wrote circular letters
over the South, telling the preachers and the
papers, that "Whole churches (of pretended
converts) disappear into the u1Jtn02cn, qchen
the FOREIGNER AND HIS HONEY IRE
TAKEN AWAY"
In other words entire congregations of
alleged converts vanish utterly, when the
"rice" ceases to be given.
Rev McCrea made this statement, again
and again, and proved that practically all Of
the supposed converts were 'rice Christians;"
and yet DR.. Smith not only conceazs the report
Of this strictly f1Yt-czaSS man, but tells
Brother Walker that our money has nothing
to do with influencing the "converts!''

to pay that lady a full missionary salary,
aohen the coming Of the babies makes 1T ana-
possible for her TO do missionary acorh?
Then, again, consider Dr. Smiths lame ex-
cuse for the Baby Bounty system
He says: "This is necessary, owing to the
great difficulty and expense which the mission
aries have in educating their Children
Fie- Fie! Doctor Do the foreign mis-
slonaries begin to educate their children Us
soon as they are born?
Do the missionaries find great difficulty in
educating babies that are one year old? Or
two years old? Or five years old?
If the 500 year is paid for education, up
to ten years, why is the annual allowance
increased by $50 year otter that,
DR.. Smith has put himself in big, deep
hole. Let us see you get out, Doctor
Now, suppose that the average of mission
airy family IS fue children
Under the bounty system which offers a
yearly reward Of 800 for obedience to the
command to increase and replenish," we must
assume that the missionaries will be stimu-
lated to the most earnest efforts to produce at
least fee little ones.
Hence, we have the missionary and his wife
drawing 81 200 year for themselves. and
$500 year for their children, with an increase
OF $50 a year for each child when it reaches its
tenth year.
In addition to all this the Board furnishes
an elegant house for this family to live in
this remarkable family, in which even the
babes in the cradle draw salaries because Of
the difficulty of educating them while they
are teething and needing paragoric.
BY the time each of these children reach the
age OF ten, their parents have received $1,000,
to defray the awful expenses Of their educa-
ton; and the fact that the Board does not
consider $4,000 to be enough for the five
children, is shown by the fact that it keeps
on paying for each child at the increased rate
Of $3.50 a year.
So, the Board contributes 100000 of your
money to the education Of each missionary
child, up to eighteen years Of age!
What do you think of THAT, my Brother?
Mind you, each child Of ten years, has
already drawn $1,000: then come eight more
sums, and you have $4,000 that your mission
arv Boards are paying for each missionary
child!
Is that what you give your money for?
Do they explain that to the congregation,
when they demand the ducats for 'the perish
ing heather who sit in darkness?"
Consider again. that each missionary draws
five times $4,000 for the five children: there
fore, in the eighteen years, the total sum of
this Baby Bounty amounts to the neat sum of
eZenem thousand d0zZors!
Wouldn't you be willing to undertake the
''educating' of five children on two thousand,
two hundred dollars apiece?
Dear me! DR.. Smith will have-or ought to
have-"great difficulty in explaining to our
home preachers why it costs more to educate
children in China, than in this country.
Our home preachers get no extra allowance,
as an educational fund.
IF the foreign preachers are justly entitled
to s. 200 for the education of each child, why
shouldn't our home preachers get some laces
