 she sinks lower and lower in the hu-

HOWE'S TRAVEL FILMS
 AT LYCEUM SUNDAY

The beauty and dignity of Lyman comes to the Lyoeum theatcr on next Sunday night is such that it cannot fail to delight those of us who have to stay at home and read and dream. You may not be able to afford to tra- vel, but you cannot afford to miss
 'traveling with Howe because the expense is infinitesimal compared to actual travel and yet the same knowl- edge, information and experience are imparted by girdling the globe with Howe that would be derived by talk ing the Grand Tour in person with all sorts of discomforts, delays and unpleasantness to endure. In it's won- derful variety of interesting subjects the new program which Howe is pre- senting records our present day civil- ization as nothing else can. It sat- isfies completely that instinct in us which desires knowledge and an es- cape from the routine of daily duties It depicts earth's wonders and the high tide of life, surging through great cities and the marts of trade.
 The new program has it's intense Inp1iChtS SuCh GUS dI0 lIllPdILGu py a ride on runaway train. which in it. self is exciting enough, but the thrills are intensified and made more thrill ling by means of those realistic .ef- fleets" which always distinguished Howe's exhibitions from all others. Some of the mysteries of Natures handiwork are revealed in a series showing the growth of plants and the development of flowers from bud to blossom. The manifestations of sci ence and chemistry are also shown in a film depicting the electrolysis of metals and the fantastic formations created by the process. Real travel experiences are provided by a trip to ever enchanting Venice during which Howe travellers will glide up and down the canals and see the quaint city under the wizardry Of superb color effects at sunset and by moonlight. A railroad ride through Greece, bird studies In the colors of nature, and entirely new animated cartoons are some of the other features.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

But we send all this to the heather, upon
the insane idea that China and Japan have
got superior claims on us
These selfish and pampered missionaries
are forever clamoring about our responsible
ity for the idol-worshippers Of the East: and
they have stretched the responsibility. until
Gospel preaching has become sec3n.lGry
natter.
You hear and you read ten yawps about
school-teaching, handicraft teaching and
medical PRACTISE to where you hear OF read
one about preaching.
And now that Japan has forbidden re-
hgious teaching in the missionary SCHOOLS,
you are face to face with two phases of The
subject which ought to wake you up.
(l) Those missionaries will hereafte, be
forced to confne themselves to strictly Sec
ular education;
(2.) The fact that the japanese govern
ment has banished Christian teaching from
the schools prOres the utter failure of Chris
tianity in Japan.
While you have been reading or hearing,
glowing reports from ''the foreign field,''
that field has been steadily narrowing itself
to the Gospel of Christ
Buddhism has revived in Japan and In
dla-and it IS building new temples IN this
country every year.
NonluclalllSnl mas revived In China and,
as the State religion, is more powerfully in
trenched than ever.
The foreign missionary is an object Of
scorn and derision to almost every traveller.
soldier and sailor, because these impartial
observers have seen the missionary at close
range.
After century Of work. costing thousands
OF millions of dollars, the missionaries are
unable to show YOU a single Self-suDDortinW
convert, ministering to self-supporting
Christian church
Take the American dollars out of it, and
the pretended Christianity Of the East would
vanish like the mist of the morning.
And If the missionary were compelled to

does, the mission field would be deserted in
month.
Ihe Boards are afraid the acAoze system

2oa"d the missionaries agree on.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-10-28

Such style of living costs big money,
anywhere but less in the Eastern lands than
In our own.
Practically all of these missionaries have
their carriages and horses, or their motor
cycles and automobiles.
DR.. William H. Smith defended the mar
tyrs in The Christian Indep, by saying that
they could not live on the food of those for
elgn countries, but had to import provisions
f1Ono 1me15cd.
Is rice any better in this country than in
the East, its natural home?
What's the matter with Chinese fish, poul-
try, hog meat, vegetables, eggs and fruit?
We get some of our finest poultry from
China, and the Poland China swine is pre-
ferred breed with many of our farmers.
There are no better teas and cofees than
these Of the Orient; and nowhere in the
world has the drying and preserving of
fruits been carried to greater perfection.
The home and the table of a Chinese
gentleman, are models of comfort, sanitation,
and good diet 1t is the same with the gen
try of Japan, India, and Korea
Why should our American missionary
demand costlier style of living than that
of the gentlefolk of the country to which
he IS sent!
Besides it's all bosh to say that the for
elgn missionaries import their food They
don't do it.
A few of them may get a sugar-cured
ham, box of cigars a tub of lard. and
barrel Of flour from America, but as a rule
they eat the food of the Orient, simply be-
cause it is so good and so cheap
AS to sick babies, the home preachers
have them, also; and if any of the clergy
should be paid an extra allowance for each
child III should be those home preachers who
dwell IN this tariff-cursed Union where the
cost of living is higher than anywhere else
on earth.
1t is a moclery of our home people to
say that the Baby bounties are right, be-
cause all the Boards have adopted the same
policy.
That's the trouble, moac. All the Boards
have gone crazy on this forei on missions fad.
and they are all doing wrong
If our home congregations are willing
and able to support thousands of schools. col
leges, klndergartens, and hospitals all over
the world, it is their privilege to do So
But the Board and the canvassers for the
funds ought to- tell our people what goes
with the money.
Until The Jeffersonan commenced the
agitation, the preachers themselves did not
know how the Boards were disposing of the
immense sums contributed by the home
churches
How many of our pastors were aware of
the fact that the foreign pastor was being
housed i'll palace, rent free, with regular
salary of 81 200, for self and wife, and S4OO
year extra, if he Glanced to have four chill
dren?
How many members of the home congre-
CATION knew that evangelical work has been
T,ershadowed and neglected, in favor of sec
ular school-teaching, handicraft teaching,
and hospital work?
How many Christians in this land would
have furnished money to sunpOrt oxpori

Yesterday morning the gauge at

The Rock Island and Frisco trains

is up to the bridge on the Santa Fe

will result.
Reports from the north indicate
that the Canadian is subsiding, and

Graham, Young Co., Texas, April 20.
"A storm of cyclonic proportions
swept across this town at $50 o'clock
this morning, doing damage estimated
at $4,000 to $4,000. The path OF the
storm did not lie through the residence
section, due, it is believed. to the
mountains north of town. No lives
were lost.
The roof was blown from the Gra-
ham Mill & Elevator Company's plant
and carried across three railroad
tracks. The company's machinery and
stock of flour were considerably dam
aged A car of grain on a siding near
the mill was also blown from the
track, and the grain badly damaged.
Two sheetiron warehouses belonging
to the b. G. Wick Hardware Company
were wrecked. One was full of bug
gies and implements and this stock
was damaged. The plate glass front
of the furniture department of this
same company was blown in and all
the furniture in the show window was
blown several blocks down the street
and demolished.
Several other business houses suf-

attempting to burn the recently con.
