COST OF PROTESTANT FOREIGN
MISSIONS.

This seems to be a time when fig
ures are in order; it is by means of
them that we learn something of the
cost of sustaining religion in foreign
lands. OF late, too, we have spoken
often of the vast sums at the disposal
of Protestant missions. The follow
ing report will show. the scale on
which their work is conducted:
The total income of American for
eign mission boards during 1914 was
$17,16S,611, according to statistics
made public at the annual meeting Of
the foreign missions conference. In
addition there was contributed $780,
$40 for the work of mission boards in
Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Alaska.
Natives in foreign mission fields,
the report asserts, contributed $4,-
24S,967 to work conducted by Ameri-
can missionaries.
There are 1853 missionaries en-
rolled by the several organizations;
1926 persons were baptized during
the year a gain of BATS over 1913.
A gain of 510 churches is reported,
bringing the number up to 9,946.
There are COG colleges, theological
seminaries and training schools and
1860 other schools, with total at
tendance Of 547s7s0.

FuLL-RLooDED AFRICAN
ORDAINED.

Father Lawrence Bunga, native of
the Congo, Africa, has been raised to
the holy priesthood, the fourth native
in eleven years. He is the son of a
chief and is as black as he is beau
tiful, for we have it on the word of
missionary that he is, good to look
at This is an example of the effort
made throughout the field to provide
natives for the priesthood.
Father Kurkmans, jealous Ger
man priest in British East Africa, has
erected a school, into which he has
gathered number of boys of promi-
nent families. We have been helping
him in the expense of conducting it
and he writes his gratitude:
THE future welfare of this district
depends on the education of the young
boys who will later rule in the terri
tory around here. We have evening

Kindly send this letter to as many
papers and friends as you can, and

Back in the interior, at the mission
the good teachers have CALAMITY kept
the school going all by themselves.
They are broken-hearted and lonely.
Accustomed as they were to daily

value of a priest until he gets out in
places like this where they are too

tain myself in this new cross that has
come on me and to meet my personal

IMPROBABLE CONTROVERSY


! We fear; that unless both parties to
the discussion exercise great self-re-
straint, WE are in Tor. a period of bit
ter and, Improbable controversy and
recrimination between members of
the Roman Catholic and of the other
Christian churches in this country.
The blame for kindling anew the fires
of suspicion and enmity rests on both
parties, but because we are a Protes-
tant journal and concerned most of all
with the way in Which Protestants
carry themselves at such time as
this, we venture to suggest what
seem to us altogether proper lines of
action for those who would be at the
same time truly Protestant and truly
Christian.
Do not circulate rumors prejudicial
to Roman Catholics. Some of these
rumors are base lies and will not
stand the test either of investigation
or of common sense. The large ma
jcrity of the members of the Roman
Catholic Church in this country are
honest, pure, patriotic men and wom-
en-. The priests, bishops and nuns, as
a rule, are intelligent and sincere,
The women who have secluded them
selves in converts for purposes of
devotion and service may be trusted,
we believe, to carry out the holy
VOWS which they have taken, and
their privacy should be as sacred as
the privacy of any Protestant home,
What business have we Protestants
to indulge in wholesale indiscriminate
and unverified denunciations and ac-
cusations? Tell what you know to
be absolute truth about the Roman
Catholic Church if the occasion war
rants it, and if the interests of patri-
otism require it; but seal your lips
and close your ears when mere gos-
sip, scandal and innuendo come your
way.
Do not get in az panic over the like
lihood of the Roman Catholic Church
dominating this country. 1t has to-
day, according to it's own statistics, a
nominal membership of not over &c..
100000 persons, including men, WON

tant Church, but practically Identified

estantism as toward Roman Gath
olicism.
Make friends with Roman Catho4
lies as widely as possible. Get their
point of views concerning paroehial
schools, for example. Approach them
on the basis of common Christian
sympathies and common Christian
aims. Cultivate all those associations
and organizations that tend to bring
Roman Catholics and Protestants to-
gether for common debate and for
common undertakings. We regret
that efforts on the part of Protestants
to fraternize and cooperate with Ro-
man Catholics are sometimes fOiled
by an indisposition on their part to
come even quarter of the way and
by their aversion to frank and broth
erly discussion of points at issue.
Nevertheless, it is our business to get
as close to them as we can.
Care as much for your religion as
your Roman Catholic neighbor does
for his. Emulate his willingness to
devote time, thought and money to it.
Be as eager to pass on to your chill
dren, if not your precise form of re-
ligion, at least some conception of
the worth of religion and it's absolute
necessity in the life of individuals
and of nations. Too often our Ro-
man Catholic brother puts us Prot
estants to shame by the zeal and con-
sistency of his faith, by the sacrifice
he makes in it's behalf. Nor do we
think that in a majority of cases this
attitude and practice amounts to su.
perstition. The religion of millions
of Roman Catholics the world over
comforts them in sorrow, fortif1es
them against temptation and saves
them from their sins. This is what
the Protestant religion ought to dc
for every soul who processes it.

PREJUDICE IN THE SOUTH.

It is a pity that there exists in the
South an un-christian race prejudice
against the negro and the possibility
Of his being educated and uplifted.
Such prejudice is found, however,
and the missionary must first over
come it before. he can make much
progress with his work. Father Dab
lent. s. S. J., of Macon, Ca, says he
has dispelled this dark cloud some
what, and where a. year ago he met
with cold glances, he now receives a
noisy welcome from the children and
a friendly greeting from the grown
ups. The Sisters of the Blessed Sac
-rament are coming to help him next
year, and they will be blessing to
the mission. sg
