Judging the problems of the East by Western
standards, course which is unWse as it is I'M
fair.
But If servant can sell his labor at $165
month, and support a family of four on
1896 a month, why does the humble mission
airy have to be paid $125 month, the amount
which Brother Menzies admits he gets?
He explicitly says that, Gas family we
receive S125 month"
His servant works for $1.65 a month, and
feeds himself, clothes himself, &C., on that
wage.
Even at that, che is 100 per cent better off
than his friends and relatives
This would seem to mean that his friends
and relatives work for and live on 8215 cents
a month.
But the consecrated missionary demands

that his horse vehicle is better than buggy,
and that he has written me letters previous to
Jan. 1916.
Brother Menzies says he means to stop off
at Thomson the next time he passes through
this part of the vale of tears
When he comes, wish he'd fetch some Of
those fine servants who work for, and live
on S1.65 month.
I'm willing to take dozen or So at that
rate, and divide them around with my friends
and relatives.
(6.) Brother M. says that his children go
to the hills to attend school, and that his wife
continues her missionary labors, up in those
higher regions.
ALI right take his word for it, and we
will suppose that Mr.. and Mrs. Menzies agree
upon some equitable division of the brigade
of servants, before the family disintegrates.
The next time Bro. Menzies types four
large pages, and sends them to me from
India's coral strand, hope they will contain
something of Importance.
Of course, I understand that a humble mis-
slonary who employs 8eVen servants, for house
and lot, is apt to be sensitive to criticism.

Journal to lady in Florida.
Mr.. Harmon assured his correspondent that
there was no Catholic flag used in the Navy:
and that the church flag did not On the same
mast, fly obove the United States flag, during
divine service
He is mistaken. 1t has only been a couple
OF years since our irrepressible Richmond
Pearson Hobson made a speech in Congress
In which he pointed In vivid words a most
touching picture of the holy feelings that used
to melt his impressionable heart, every time he
contemplated the inspiring spectacle of the
United States flag being hauled down the
mast, and the church flag run up, above.
l read that speech, and was too full for ut
terance. If Hobson had been anywhere near,
| should have requested brief conversation
with him.
His impulsive, sentimental and thoroughly
goosey speech, must have thrown thrills Of
rapture into every priest, and every K of c..
who heard him.
1t never once occurred to Richmond P that
the Cross is the papaI emblem, that Protestant
Churches have never made any peculiar use of
it, and that the church flag, 06Ove the State
flag, conveys an idea which is absolutely an
tagonistic to Protestant principles.
That idea is popish. No other church en-
tertains it. Every other church opposes that
idea; and contends that the State is above the
church, all the time, Sunday and Monday.
But the Jesuits have already accustomed
the Navy and the Army to the idea that the
State gets below the Church, on Sunday
So complete has been their victory that
brilliant Protestant like my friend Hobson,
can fire off his oratory in Congress, and
never realize that he is making Papal
speech.
Now, let us reason together:
If a church flag is necessary in the Army
and Navy, why isn't it necessary to civilians?
Why shouldn't we have a church flag on every
Baptist Church, every Methodist Church, and
so on?
If the State kneels to the church on the
sabbath, why not do it, every day?
Why must the State flag be pulled down,
when the clergyman begins to officiate?
Does the States flag cut off his view Of
Heaven?
Does the States flag disturb his train of
thought and his flow of language?
The United States flag stands for the prin-
ciple Of religious liberty: the Pope's symbol
represents religious tyra1e'ay and persecution.
0bove that which symbolizes the Protestant
principle embodied IN our Government?
When we haul down the national colors,
and run up those of the church, something is
meant--what is it?
How is true religion, and devout worship
interfered with by flag which represents
freedom of worship?
Why inculcate the idea that the State. at
any time or place, abdicates to the Church?
We don't abolish the Government on Sun
day: we don't surrender the civil to the &C.
clesiastical, when we ego to meeting" We do
not recognize the necessity, in civil life, of
going through this pantomine Of obliterating
the. State.

Rev. George Sandrock of this city
and Rev. w. LANCE of Lebanon re-
turned Friday from a two day con-
ference at Wausau at which discus
sions of the doctrines of the synods
operating in the state were heard.
The delegates listened to an address
OF welcome by Rev. William Spiegel
of Wausau after which the Rev. Schip-
mann of Gaylord Mimi, gave an ad-
dress on the objects of the meeting
which was called for a general dis
cussiOn of the points of doctrine on
which the synods differ in order that
an eventual union of the various Luth-
eran synods may be brought out.
Rev. Sandrock was elected chair
man, Rev. Karpinski of Manawa was
elected secretary Of the Missouri syn
cd, Rev. Lange of Lebanon secretary
of the Ohio synod, and Rev. Henry
Geiger of the town of Berlin for the
Wisconsin synod.
The movement for greater unity
among the synOds began at st. Paul
and as result of a meeting there,
$50 pastors signed articles of faith
that gave them a common ground on
which to work

KRISHNA SPEAKS AGAIN.
Is Backed i'm Several of His Facts by
Milwaukeean.

DR.. N. Krishna of India, who spoke
here some time ago on the conditions
of his country due to English misrule
has drawn forth comment from people
in cities where he spoke. He spoke
in Milwaukee recently. The part of
letter written by Robert Schilling
OF Milwaukee is given as follows:
Lord NOrthcliffe, owner of the Lon
don Times and a large number Of
newspapers in England and Scotland,
admitted to Mr.. Malone, editor of a
paper in Indianapolis, in the Walton
hotel in Philadelphia, in 1908, that the
syndicate he controls owned nineteen
of the most influential newspapers in
the largest cities of the United States
How many more does that syndicate
own now? This same owner of Amer
lean newspapers, during a visit to
Chicago just before the war, stated in
an interview that he had come to this
country to arrange" for news service
DR.. Krishna in his lecture stated
that he gave a high official of the
American Press association facts con-
corning the brutal, beastly and muir
derous treatment of the people of In
dia by the English government, and
was told that they could not print the
statement of every tom, Dick and
Harry"
Have the English secured control
of our news service, too? 1t looks
like it.
