wish to do SO. They had just as
well perform their duty, however
disagreeable it may be, and take
the inevitable "cussin" that is
coming to them. The Herald
really sympathizes with them and
would help them if it could. All
it can do, though, is to promise not
to make very loud howl if its
taxes are not placed beyond its a.
bility to pay them.

INDIA PROGRESSING.
No Longer "Stagnant Pool Beside the
River of the Worlds Progress"

Toledo, O., Oct. 26,-How rapidly India
is stepping to the fore was described
last night by Rev John J. Benninga
American missionary to India, in an ad
dress before the American board of COM
missioners for foreign missions, in con-
vention here. Taking as his subject sop
portuntes in India" Rev. Dr. Benninga
said:
mo longer is India stagnant pool
beside the river of the worlds progress.
She is rapidly entering into the world
arena and taking her place beside the
most progressive nations. A new pa
triotism has taken the place of the for
mer suspicion and disloyalty and to-day
india realizes that her interests are
bound up with those of the British en-
pire.
Great progress has been made in the
last few years in industrial matters. In
dia is slowly but surely passing out of
the class of countries that produce only
raw materials and is beginning to do

of his coronation. Two new universities
have been organized Two colleges for
women have been started in Madras and
many high schools and colleges have in
creased their efficiency. All schools are
full to overfiowing with students.
"The new spirit of evangelism that is
animating India is also giving us new
opportunity for work. And India is
worth winning. When her millions with
all their devotion and religious endow
ments come into the kingdom of God
they will show us not only new inter
probation of the deep things of God, but
also a devotion in service that is now
spent in empty ceremonies and in trav-
cling thousands of miles to midas sacred
shrines Help us win India for Christ
and India will then win the rest of the
world.
"The latest mails from India bring
stories of great awakening in the villages
and believe that we are on the eve OF

The schedule will be announced after the

General Sporting Notes.

John McGraw experimental four years
with young Schupp, the pitcher, before
he gave him his real chance in league
baseball, during the mid-season. In 1913
Ferdy came to the Giants unheralded.
McGraw has given the young man his
time to ripen, training him carefully,
and now Ferdy seems to have arrived.
Tommy Leach has been dropped as
manager of the Rochester Hustlers of
the international league Under Tommy
the Hnstlers did not make very good
showing in the pennant race just closed
The team has lost another veteran in
Arthur Devlin, one of the greatest guard
ians of the hot corner that the fans
have ever seen. The Rochester club was
in bad condition when Leach took charge
of it and that is one reason for the
teams bad showing.
Princeton's baseball schedule. as an
nouneed by Manager Donahue, totals 20
games, the same number as last year.
OF these, seven are away from home,
and this number will be increased in
case of ties in the Harvard or Yale Sc
ries. The first championship game will
be played with Harvard on May 10 at
Soldiers field. Two teams of last years
schedule will be dropped and two more
will be added The annual southern trip
will start with Virginia at Charottes-
Vile on April 6. Princeton seems to
have suffered more than either Harvard
or Yale on account of graduation, and
in the box. In case of tie
between either Harvard or Yale, the
playoff will probably be at the Polo

definitely settled as yet
