A Presbyterian Preacher Writes
Me Touching and Gener-
GUS Tribute:
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. J

He was suffering from blood poisoning in
the hand and forearm, and there is no
hospital within 81 miles of where he and [
live.
This was typical case. Hardly a week
passes without an appeal to the sympathies
of our community in behalf of some afflicted
person who must 90 to a hospital in distant
city, and receive treatment which seldom costs
as little as $50.
The surgeons in these establishments arc
not paid by our Churches, or by the Mission
Boards; they are paid by their patients.
The trained nurses in these hospitals are
not on the payroll of the Baptist Board at
Richmond, the Methodist Board at Nash
Vile they, too, must be paid by the sufferers,
themselves.
So far as [ know, there isn't surgeon,
doctor, or trained nurse in the whole South
who is paid by the churches, or the Boards,
to give his entire time to the afflicted free Of
charge.
My understanding is, that we Baptists have
one hospital In Georgia, and that this solitary
establishment is located in Atlanta.
[ also understand that the denomination
does not support it literally, and that it is
always uncertain of continued existence.
Whether the other denominations maintain
doctors, I do not know; but very diligent
reading of Missionary literature has left my
memory blank on that subject.
Now, think of it
The same churches that fail utterly to meet
the crying needs of charitable educational,
and social work here at home, respond bounti-
fully, when passionate appeals are made for
China, Korea India, and Japan.
Thousands of miles across the ocean, the
Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Seventh
day Adventists, and Episcopalians have built,
and superbly maintain, the most elaborate
and perfect system of charitable work the
world ever saw.
Free of cost to himself, "the heathen" can
send his child to the elegant kindergarten,
where it will be tendery cared for-clothed.
fed, lodged and taught-until it is old
enough to enter the upper school; and in this
higher school the child will be supported and
tutOred until it is ready for the finishing
course at the college, in which the missionary
finishes the student, not only in literary and
classical branches, but also in physical cul-
ture.
Free of cost to himself, "the heathen" can
60 to the dispensary and get the best Of medi-
cine, at any time he needs it for self and
family; and, if he, or any other member of
his family falls sick, there is the open door of
a free, magnificent, up-to-date hospital.
Does he need an amputation of arm, or
leg? He gets ii, free Of charge.
Does he need the intelligent, experienced
care of the trained nurse? He gets it, free of
charge.
Is he down with typhoid, pneumonia,
smallpox, or any other lingering disease?
He is given the most comfortable surround
ings and the most scientific treatment, in
hospital whose appointments are far and
away superior to anything that can be seen in
the average American city.

churches into giving the money, by sending
men into the pulpit to tell the people, that
"G0d" wants it, and that whoever raises a
voice of protest against the mao7a8trous n7epo-
sition, is ''the enemy Of Gods work"
1t is a species of hold up! 1t is the getting
of money by intimidation.
Men who would fight buzz-saw, on a dis
pute about land-line, or a question Of
veracity, will shrink into craven cowardice,
when they are hemmed up in church, and
are bulldozed by fierce preacher who has
been instructed by the Board to produce more
ducats.
The average man, thus entrapped and
browbeaten, will give his dollar, rather than
face the scowls of his neighbors- -neighbors
who perhaps don't give a cent themselves, but
who sternly assess him, in their minds and
in their eyes,
If he didn't wilt, and turn it loose, those
non-paying but inexorably exacting neigh
bors, would probably make some self
righteously disapproving remarks about has
stinginess.
Nay, Brethren, they might even go far
ther; they might buy their next bill of dry
goods, or groceries, from his rival in trade,
and thus he would possibly lose ten cents
Rather than endure the persecution, the
silent accommodation, he surrenders his

price Of ignominious peace.
In his heart of hearts, he k110acS that it is
not his religious duty to support surgeons,
doctors, nurses, dentists and mechanical ex-
perts for the people of foreign lands.
In his heart Of hearts,he hn0aU8 that he is
acting the moral coward, when he gives his
money for any such monstrous purpose; but
the system has him in it's clutches, and he feels
helpless.
"The system" is composed of the inter
locked Board, the denominational "organ,"
the heads of the church hierarchy, the Foreign
Missionary who is relentless, and the local
pastor who is powerless.
The local pastor and his wife are the pack
horses: they bear the burden.
On their patient backs, the real work is
laid; and after they get up the mission
money, it is divided between the other con-
stituent parts of ''the system"
[ see that Bishop Warne, of the Methodist
Church, is throwing more fits in India, and
at each spasm he yells, 'More moneyH
Bishop Warne is the supercilious mission
ary who wrote that soothing explanation of
why the missionaries had to live in such
luxury, and hire so many domestic servants.
The naughty Bishop scornfully said that
the wives and daughters of the missionaries
were not sent to foreign lands "to peel pota-
toes, dust furniture, and sweep the floors"
No, indeed But the salary, which enables
the foreign missionary to employ from three
to seven servants, is furnished by intimidated
American church members whose wives and
daughters do peel potatoes, dust furniture
and sweep the floors

A Railroad Up The Idde River Valley

The recent announcement By the
parties who have under consideration
building railroad TO the Vance mining
property is full Of interest for the people
Of Leayenworth. Surveying the route
will begin within the next few weeks
and If the survey and cost estimate
shall show this to be the best and
cheapest approach to the property : is
up 10 the people Of Leagenworth to
meet the demands of the promoters Of
the road. Their request that Leayen-
worth donate two acres Of land for depot
grounds and the right Of way from the
town limits to the forest reserve is not
unreasonable, nor do We believe it will
be an expensive undertaking TO comply
With their request. Options on the
land required can be secured for a
modest sum, and if the railroad is built
il will be worth all it costs. II it is
not built the time put in and the small
sum Of money expended in securing
the options will not be felt. The
effort TO secure the building Of the
road from this point should be made.
II will not only add a new industry but
it will open up a country rich in timber
and some agricultural land. II will
stimulate the mining industry to have
producing mine at our door. Just now
the sections Of our country where the
mining industry is active is, on account
Of the high price Of metals, very pros
porous. Montana, Idaho, and Arizona
never were more prosperoui. The
opening up Of the Vance mine will
draw attention to this section and no
doubt result in the discovery Of other
mines. Again, it is up 10 Leayenworth
TO make it an inducement for the Vance
people to build their road out Of Leav

Roosevelt Made Republican Success
Possible

BY declining to accept the nomina-
ton Of the progressive party for presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt made 1t pos
sible for all those who believe in the
principles for which the republican
party stands, to consolidate their vote
on Mr.. Justice Hughes. This was
the crowning act Of his career. II
shows that he can practice what he
breaches. That he can subordinate
self for the good Of the country. That
there is no bitterness and rancor in his
makeup. He honestly believed that
the best interests Of this country would
be conserved by the enactment Of the
principles advocated by the republican
party and he slept aside so that pro-
qresslyes, who are republican in prin-
ciple, could vote for Mr.. Hughes. II
was a grand thing to do, and he did II
promptly after Mr.. Hughes had made
il plain that he could endorse the plat
form adopted by the republican party
and was in perfect harmony with it.
A man with a small soul and narrow
mind would never have done what he
did, and the country will never forget

Consistency, Thou Art a level

To make your talk about trading
with the home merchant effective and
convincing you must practice what you
talk. You cannot expect your request
to have effect when you yourself send
out Of town for your stationery printing
and your wife's clothes. In truth,
when you make trade at home talk to
someone who knows you do not prac-
tice what you preach your talk has
exactly the opposite effect.

The Way Paved for Republican Victory

Much the largest number Of those
who will vote for Mr. Hughes next
November were disappointed a Chicago
last week when the republican conYen-
ton refused 70 nominate Theodore
Roosevelt, for president. Those who
have kept in touch with. and measured
public sentiment, know this IS true.
Every time Rooseyelt's name was
inadvertently mentioned in the con
yention proceedings. the gallery which
outnumbered the delegates ten TO one.
showed unmistakeable preference Tor
hin. His plea before the people Of
this country for genuine, robust
American sentiment in dealing with
international questions hit the spot.
Il found responsive minds in every
hamlet and town in this country.
Rooseyelt's supporters have the com
iouing reflection that if the convention
manipulators defeated his nomination
they could not head of his policy,
which was written into the platform BY
the republicans last week and with
notifications will form the chief plank
in the democratic convention at St.
Louis this week.
Those who make any pretense Of
keeping up with the news Of the day
will recall that from the time the Euro
pean war started President Wilson
preached pacifcism. Told us we were
not to think Of the war, that we should
be too proud to fight" and preserve
peaceful relations at all hazards. With
out giving serious thot as to where this
would lead we all fell into Mr.. Wilson's
frame Of mind. Not so the strenuous
one. He had had experience in inter
national relations and knew just where
such a trucking policy would lead,
indeed, has led Loss Of national
prestige, national honor and national
leadership in world affairs. He laid
bare the Wilson policy. Pointed out
what il would lead to and aroused such
a nation vide sentiment in an opposite
direction that even President Wilson
had to reverse himself on pacificism
in order TO get in touch With an aroused
public sentiment. Theodore Roosevelt
and the newspapers and magazines
that took up his cry of alarm at the
way the country was following the
teachings Of Mr.. Wilson, is responsible
for the spirit that dominated the repub-
lican convention last week and will
dominate the democratic convention
at ST. Louis this week.
Theodore Roosevelt was not nomi-
mated bat the open minded men OF
this country will give him credit ior
writing the preparedness planks in both
conventions.
