Not only are Inda's mission schools
and churches full. The stupondous
fact is that there stands outside these
institutions a waiting list OF more
than 10000 registered applicants for
baptism who cannot be received into
the Christian church because there
are not churches enough and minis-
ters enough TO give them Christian
leadership, nor schools enough TO
educate them. II Is considered worse
than useless TO receive into the church
thousands of illiterate. superstitlous
persons, knowing nothing but the
barest rudiments OF Christianity. un-
less provision is made for both their
religious and secular education. The
only result OF such a policy would be
to heathenize Christianity.
AS fast as the missionJ can develop
agencies for the training Of the new
converts. those who stand first I'm the
waiting list are baptized and receiv-
cd
The trouble is that the waiting list
is developing more rapidly than the
agencies. Whole villages and whole
counties are turning en- masse to
Christianity. The mayors OF two
hundred villages recently voted I'm con
ference TO use their influence To- make
the entire population OF their villages
Christian The Christian community
In India Is increasing at the rate on
5000 new members every month or
10000 per year
Just as Religious movements have
provorbially thrlvcd on persecution.
so the fact that the Bitterest persecu-
ton assails the new Indian Christians
only seems 10 add impetus to the

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The con-
firmation by the Senate last week OF
Louis ID. Brandeis. who had been NOM
mated by the President for associate
justice OF the United States Supreme
Court, was n great victory. not only
for President Wilson but for Senator
Chiffon as well. Throughout the long
and bitter contest over tho connrma-
tlon of Mr.. Brandeis. Senator Chiffon
has boen his constant champion and
supporter of the President in support
Ing his appointment. Senator Chiffon
was chairman OF tho sub b-committee OF
the Senate judiciary committee which
reported favorably on Brandels and Il
was mainly due to his efforts that tho
Senate finally voted to confirm him.
Senator Chiffon feels that the people
now have champion OF their rights
on th .,SGpreme Bench, and his friends
arc proud of the Senator's part in
placing him there.
