Der the last sentence was, we would l..
ike TO have it made clear to any inou;,..
friends that we undertook the work IN 4.
understanding perfectly the existing eorS
tons, and that none should be held in apv =.
responsible for anything that may happen. ".
would most earnestly beg that there be no =.
taliation or revenge on ous account"
Yet we did go out and nothing hspreu.,
And after a few weeks both Miss Youns ,.l
myself went out quite alone. When Mn
Katherine Buffum, also volunteer, oined .,
she took charge Of our industrial class. VIII,
was a great success, and Mrs. Trycn. n
trained nurse, started in with will to ,,ss
Mr.. Thompson, WHO had charge Of the a..
pcnsary, supervised by Colonel Charles LyuA
By the way, we we're told before il stsrs
that we would be lucky If we had thrss d
tents during month. The first thirsy 1,r
we treated nearly six hundred, many conn
from the other side of the island. This pkux
US very much, as it meant we had gained 4,
confidence and were getting hold of the nor.
tain people, who are quite different and mud
more difficult to get at than the NATIVES d
Tulay.
To cut a long story short, with the szcs
ton of Miss Young's illness and return to h
United States after few months Of very re-.
work, during which she and the Bishop o.
was with us the first few weeks) laid the fou,
iation of that which has been in the PROV
dence of God most wonderful exhibition 4
what the Golden Rule can accomplish II
work progressed gratifyingly; but even d,
Golden Rule might have failed il we had na
been able to call into play that other rule, viii
out which no real sympathy can be given !
mean-to put yourself in the other mans Plaza
irving to see things as he sees them and ns
as we think he ought to see them. We pr,ys
as individuals what DR.. Saleeby would hswu
prove as nation, when he says:
1--WE have either to be tolerant and acsr
present conditions and institutions as tr
ar. and gradually reform them, or De into
Grant and introduce radical changes from hs
start The first course begins with amiH rt
proceeds with patience, and makes Glow "
permanent progress with telling effect tn
second course is bound to begin with emit
and proceed with opposition every step Of u
way The latter course had been tried 10
over three hundred years. History has @
clared its failure and humanity has eondenna
it's principles. The growth OF nations like ha
of individuals is governed by natural laws O.
cannot advance by leaps and bounds. Ksi''
nation may be fostered by patient ins'rueuS
and good example, but it cannot be fora
into being by command and threats. A ~
evil national customs may have to be cheers
by force, but force applied as the sole age
of national reform is cr''el and harmful
therefore behooves US to accept present eono
tons as they are and move ahead with su0'
hopes and good wishes to al men. 1t O
duty to build before we destroy. Let w 0u
all past troubles and grievances and lose
time on trihes. We are not responaoe
the sins of past ages and mountains OF duue
lie ahead of u.s."
