ARE YOU ENTITLED TO THE
FACTS ON FOREIGN
MISSIONS?


ing Company brought out book OF l5S
pages, handsomely printed, beautifully illus
trated, and priced at about cost.
The name of the same is, Foreign Mis-
sions Exposed" and it sells for the ridicu-
lousy small sum of 80 cents
incidentally, it lay heavily on our shelves
for several years, and the cockroaches ate
off the backs of quite a number of the books,
getting at the paste.
During the last few months, though, a
sudden demand has arisen for the neglected
volume; and we keep one small boy pretty
much on the go, feeding supply into Uncle
Sans mails.
| also observe that the Christian Index
reports steady decline in the ducats which
American boobies give to the education, and
the medical treatment Of China, Japan, and
Korea.
Apparently, the boobs are beginning to
believe that it is not their duty to supply
Oriental nations with school houses, school
teachers, kindergartens, colleges, physicians,
trained nurses, dentists, farm experts, car
penters, blacksmlths, gymnasium trainers
music teachers, sewing teachers, cookery
Teachers type-setting teachers, printing press
teachers and teachers of medicine and
hygiene.
Our people never would have submitted
to this preposterous and un-Scriptural sys-
IcIl, II GiGV HOU EO0 me FUCJS.
But the missionaries, the Boards, and the
denominational papers formed close cor
poration and they kept their oaUn secrets.
Even now, there are thousands of preach
ers-not to mention the millions Of laymen
who do not know the facts.
Being prejudlced, they obstinately refuse
to learn: consequently, they are blind men
who are leading the blind.
1t is pitiable sight to see one of our
home pastors, with hard -Worked wife. and
q houseful of children, dependent on his
credit at the store for his regular supply Of
food-and with perhaps only one nice suit
of clothes, which he must carefully save for
meeting days.
I've seen it too often to talk about
and [ Anoao what hard lives these faithful
home pastors live, and how hard their wives
have to toll.
Yet, they go on, from year to year, tell
ing their congregations that it is their
'duty" to do that for China and their
duty" to do that for Burmah; and their
"duty'to do this for the contemplate little
Koreans-and these home pastors never even
take the pains to investigate qchat goes q0ith
the na0ney they collect from their congrega-
items.
Is it not the pastors @duty" to do so?
Should he not be in position to tell the
givers of the money h0ao 1T as spent?
How much of contribution would the
average pastor get, if he were to say,
frankly
Brethren, it is your duty to educate one
million, five hundred thousand boys and
girls, in foreign lands:
ut is your duty to support 675 hospitals
IN those foreign lands
at is your duty to furnish medicine for
1858 dispensaries to give away to sick peo-
pie, III foreign lands;

how to shoe horse, how to build house,
how to drain swamp, how to clean up
town, how to print book, how to compose
pills and distil decoctions from herbs; how
to plug decayed teeth; how to skin the cat
on the gymnastic pole; and how to play the
piano, the jews-harp, the harmonica, the ac-
Gordon, and the graphophone?"
If your beloved pastor should come at you
in that style, you'd tote your ducats back
home, wouldn't you?
With the exception of the nine words
which follow the word spiano," every single
word that [ suppose the pastor to say, he
could truthfuzzy soy!
Then, you'd keep your money In your
pocket, wouldn't you?
But your pastor doesn't know all the
facts. He has had no chance to learn them.
Those who are teasting on his collections,
while he fasts on his lean salary are care
full to keep him in the dark
And when you try to get him to read
some of the monstrous doing Of our Boards,
and our foreign parasites, he loses his tenn
per- and says something that hurts your
feelings.

In The Missionary Voice, of April, 1915,
I find letter written by Miss Emma S.
Lester, from Soochow, China.
The good lady sends picture Of two
Chinese girls, doing embroidery work, in the
Soochow Mission; and she says that $50
women are employed, of whom 80 board In
the school. Their ages vary from 16 to 60
years
''The faculty consists of three American
missionaries, three native teachers, three as
sistants, three native designers and a native
bookkeeper.
"The average wage is $175 per month,
which fan, 932OTo than tho Chinese yyzarznTC
pay for similar work.
Upon this sum, the worker feeds her
self and family, and never ceases to be
thankful for the opportunity to earn so
much.
Abaut one-third of the women are widows,
third bethothed, and one third de-
serted"
Picture this Dorcas Society to your be-
numbed mind:
Here are $50 Chinese women: so Of them
are grass widows SO are sure-enough
widows, and so are engaged to be mar
ried.
Some of them are 16 years old, and some
60.
Three American missionaries attend to the
coOps OF these Chinese hens; nine Chinese
persons-seX not stated-assist the three
American missionaries, and a Chinaman
acts as booklzeeper.
The $50 women are paid S262.50. which is
far more than $50 Chinese women can get
from Chinese merchants.
Miss Lester adds:
"Once a month worker from the Mary Black
Hospital talks to the women on personal hygiene
the Of babies, contagious diseases, civic and
household sanitation, dangers from mosquitoes
and flies, health precautions for the summer and
similar subjects. These lessons are emphasized
by the teachers all during the month. There are
weekly clinics at the mission and daily clinics at
the hospital"
