THE CASE OF
HETTY GREEN.

Until we know what Hctty Green
has done with her fortune OF one
hundred millions or more, it Is loo
soon tn pronounce a final verdict on
her. It may be that behind her APP
parently sordid parsimony, her un-
femin. hardness or lack of sympathy,
there was a great purpose. Il hu-
manity and progress were designed
to be the beneticiaries Of her !aoors,
we can pardon the dedication OF
her energies to great ultimate OBJ
ject, and the ruthless putting aside
of everything which interfered' even
in the slightest degree, with the re-
alization of great aspiration
But if there was nothing OF all
this in her thoughts, if she was the
essentially what she seemed, she was
the poorest and not the richest wo-
man in the world. The Baltimore Sun
suggests, what chance she had and
what chance she threw away!
Some men become the sort OF afro
phied thing that Hetty Green APP
peared to be, but such specimens are
rare among masculine money-mak-
ers. The kings of Wall street ana
of finance may squeeze the unfortun-
ates who get in the push, or may ron
the public by clever schemes and
combinations; but, at their worst,
their blood usually remains
rcd and warm, and the off,
set their business greed by gener-
Gus and kindly actions. 1t seems
peculiarly unnatural when Il woman
Givcsts herself of all the tender
ness and sympathy which belongs to
her sex and develops into mere
human shark, bent wholly on swal-
lowing everything, big and little,
that she can reach, absolutely de-
void of bowels of mercy and COM
passion. The wonderful thing about
Hetty Green, it seems to us, is not
that she demonstrated that woman
could match wits with the sharpest
brains of the sharrcst city in the
world, but that 2 woman could sc
transform herself as to eliminate
from her natIre every womanly inn
pulse and attribute. Women have
made their way many time anc
oft" before this INTO the ranks OF
the immortals through intellect and
character, but few Of them arc rom.
embered because of their S,,perla
tive meanness and h2causa Of tbs
absence of every lcf'.' imn.l-e.

Citations, and elsewhere, on the public stand,
urging his people to read The Index as
Christian literature
All over the region where he labored, he
was an advocate Of The Index, and one Of
the last acts of his useful life, was to paw his
subscription up, in full, to The Index
Messrs. Bell and Graham allege that [ said
Mr. Stowe turned thousands Of dollars into
their treasury, without charge.
[ did not say so, and Bell and Graham
know it, What I said was this:
'1ow many, many times had the deceased
preacher mentioned The Index from his pull
pit and in private conversation?
Don't you suppose that, during the 80 years
of his ministry, he either sent, or Influenced
thousands of dollars toward the treasury Of
The Index?'
This surnai8e was correct, as the letter from
the Eastonollee brethren shows.
AS to The Index protecting it's readers and
itself from deluge of obituaries, it's a false
alarm.
We Georgia Baptists are not dying out, so
fast as all that
Our Georgia clergymen are a reasonably
robust lot, and they don't go to glory, any
sooner than they're obliged to.
And, to be frank about it, I'd rather read
a loving tribute to some fine character man
or woman, than to wade through columns Of
slush about the new China, the outlook in
Brazil, and the happy happenings at the
Southern Baptist Association.
It isn't every dead Baptist that even the
churches can say much for; and when we do
have a livewire preacher, whose heart beats
warm for the people, and theirs beat warm
for him, 1t seems to me The Index might
loosen up bit on its 100 word rule and make
some allowance for the circumstances which
alter the cases.
