How could he be, when he wouldn't strip
off and jump in?
The allied railroads, by staying in politics,
got what they wanted. The highest courts
have ruled, in effect, that they can water their
stock indefinitely, squander millions on lobby
lists, newspaper Underwriters, and elections,
and then advance their freight and passenger
rates sufficiently to earn reasonable" profit
on all this fraud, corruption, and criminality.
The allied manufacturers have stayed in
politics, and got what they wanted; and their
vaults are bursting with such stupendous
sums of commercial loot, that money is
cheaper in this country than it has been since
the Civil War-cheaper to everybody except
my Uncle Solomon Beeswax.
The allied national bankers had remained
in politics, and got what they wanted.
They compelled the Democratic party to
0. K. and pass the Republican Money-trust
law, which the Wall Street experts had
framed, but which Senator Aldrich and J. P.
Morgan were unable to put over on the Con-
gress of President Taft.
They compelled the Wilson administration
to perpetuate some S75O,O00,OOO of their due
bills, and force them upon the people, as

IS IT THE WAY TO HONOR JUDSON'S MEMORY?

Exhausted by his labors in Burmah, he was
advised to take a sea-trip for his health, and
he died and was "buried" at sea. That IS, the
body of the great and good man was given
to the ocean.
What was Judson's plan of mission work?
What did he do? What did he approve?
What did he condemn?
Those are fair questions at this time when
the Baptists have raised a million dollars as
"Judson Memorial Fund"
The answer to those questions is this
Adoniram Judson stood exactly where j. r.
Graves STOOD and that's where Paul and the
evangelistic Apostles stood.
Judson was opposed to the methods which.
have since been adopted and made the system]
of the Boards.
To devote million dollars to the methods
of the present Board system, and do it as a
Memorial to Judson, is no honor to his
memory.
The Memoir of DR.. Judson was prepared
and published by Francis Wayland, President
of Brown University, in 1858, at the request
of the American Baptist Missionary Union,
and of Mrs. Judson, the Doctors widow.
Rev. Rufus Anderson, senior Secretary of
the Board assisted Mr.. Wayland, and so did
several other eminent Baptist cIergymen.
Therefore, we may safely accept the Memoir
as authoritative and final

TO name national bank after Thomas
Jefferson, is no honor to the states
man who detested national banks
To name beer-garden after John B.
Cough, would be no honor to the memory of
the great Prohibition orator.
In like manner, to name Mission fund
after Adoniram Judson is no honor to the
memory of the pioneer Baptist missionary,
unless that fund IS c0nSecr0ted to the Kind
of aoork eoIach hudson approved.
BY the way, the following letter curiously
illustrates how errors get into circulation:
Milburn, Okla, Jan. 6, 1916.
Dear Sir: 1 am having some contention with a
Hardshell Baptist. He said that Adoniram Judson
was excluded from the Baptist Church. l asked
him for proof and he said he read it in Fox's
History of All Denominations. Is there such
book and where can it be had? Was JudsOn ever
a member of a Baptist Church in America?
When Judson left America, he started East
as missionary Of the Congregationalists;
but during the voyage his studies made him
Baptist, and he was accepted by the Board as
a foreign missionary.
AS he never returned to this country, he
was not, strictly speaking Baptist in Amer
AGA but he remained missionary of our
church during the remainder of his life, and
was never excluded"

FARMERS ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS OF NATIONAL soon D

[ is deeply significant that an enthu-
s1astlc mass-meeting of representa-
tive farmers came together, on short
notice and In midwinter, defying storm D
of rain and the difficulties Of bad roads,

economic demands.
Ever since the Alliance was BETRAYED to
Wall Street by three we'll known leaders
of whom still lives, rolling in wealth, in Wash
lngtOn-the farmers have had oceans Of ad-
vice from politicians whose song was "Donr
SO ipsto politics."
When the lecturers of the Farmers Union
first began to organize, they never failed to
preach about the dangers of going into
politics.
1t was the one thing the farming class must
not do: it was the one thing that would be
sure to ruin my Uncle Solomon Beeswax.
[ used to sit and listen to that sort Of drivel
wondering how the farmers could tolerate it,
and itching to ask the lecturer this plain,
simple question:
How do you enpect to sooino a0ithout going
into the aUater?
The allied railroad interests were aza0ays in
politics, and they were in the swim.
The allied manufacturers and banks were
always in politics, and always in the swim.
Even the negro national societies were in
politics, and always quite good deal in the
swim.
But my Uncle Sol Beeswax stood on the
bank, shivering and afraid, and therefore my
dear old Uncle never was in the swim.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-01-27

Now, then, let us throw aside prejudice, and
try to get at the truth.
What were Dr. Judson's convictions as to
mission work?
He spent his whole life in the foreign field:
he toiled in that field and no other: he broke
down in the harness, and he died at his post.
What acre his opinions, based on has actual
experience?
Surely, Judson ought to have some weight
with the Baptists who are gathering up the
Memorial Fund
1t was in 1918, that Judson entered upon
his labors in Burmah.
On page 157, Volume L. of the Memoir,
President Wayland says

Judson therefore set himself to learn the
language, so that he could preach to the
people. As everyone knows he undertook and
accomplished the prodigious labor Of trans
lating the Bible into the language of The
Burmese.

Dear Sir and Brother;- To

language vas tho language of
the ancient Romans, The
Romans we're the people of
Rome city founded some 600
or 700 years b. G. There never
was any Latain language before
the sine of the Romans for the
simple reason that they founded
the language. Now the tower of
Babel was many centuries be-
fore this Roman or Latain
tongue was in existance, Hence
the absurdity OF your assertion,
do not know what language
was spoken before the time of
big tower. So far as I know,
neither sacred or profane hist.
ory tell Us. But to say that II
was Latain Is a most absurd
assumption. You had Just az

Dear Bro, you have given US no
reason Whatever. that we should

we should acknowledge thai we

The real old latin language"
inorter that we might designate
the language that was used
when the whole earth was of
one language. That is before
the building OF the Tower of
Babe', And we wish to say to
you my Brother, that we had no
reference to the latin language
which was used by the Romans
800 or 700 years before Christ,
or what is called the modern
language.
We must repest that we had
direct reference to the language
used, when the people was all
of one language. And we wish
to say that the same language
will again be used by all people,
For God has said,
For then will l turn to the
people a pure language, that
they may all call upon the name
Of the Lord, to serve him with

Now then Dear Brother if it
will suit you any better for US
to call 1t q pure language, we
will call it a pure language, in
the place Of THE REAL OLD
Latin Language" For there is
no mistake but what the Ian.
guage used before the building
of the Tower Of Babel, was a
pure language. But you say
that you do not know what it
was called. So we repeat that
we shall call it The Pure Old
