The Missionary Review of the World
makes the following comparison of
conditions a century ago and now.
One hundred years ago. nearly every
country in Asia and Africa was closed
to the Gospel; there were almost no
missionaries; now, there are $4,000
Protestant Christian missionaries In
foreign lands.
Then, the Bible had been translated
into sixty-ive languages or dialects;
now, into more than 500.
Then, there were contributed a few
thousands of dollars year; now, $780,
100000 are given to foreign missions
by Protestant Christians.
Then, there was no native ministry:
now, over 10000 pastors, evanReltsts,
Bible women and other native Chris
tian helpers. ..
Then, there were no single women
missionaries; now, there are more
than 5000.
Then, there were a few oJssior
schools started; now. there are over
$4,000 Protestant schools and colleges
with nearly 100000 pupils.
Then, there was not one mission
press; now, there are $50 publishing
houses and mission presses, and 400
Christian periodicals published ON the
mission field.
Then. no Protestant denomination,
as such, was committed to. foreign
missions, excepting the Moravians
now, every respectable denomination
has Its home and foreign missions.
Then, there was not one mission
hospital. orphansge. or other charit-
able institution; now, 700 mission hos
pitfalls, and over 500 orphanages and
asylums.
Then. Judson, Carey and Morrison
for first convert; now, there are NOR.
than 10000 Protestant Christians
added to the churches In hesthen lands
every year.

DISTRICT TO EXTEND
CHARITY EFFORTS
Washington Social Workers viii
Cooperate With Maryland
Delaware Conference. !

For the fret time this year Washing
ton social workers will Join with those
OF Maryland and Delaware In a Joint
conference on charities and correc-
lions, to be held in Baltimore Novem-
Der Il. Is. and 1s.
William II. Davenport, secretary of
the Maryland State Conference on
Charities and Corrections, has been In
Washington for the purpose OF getting
Washington workers to cooperate in
this project.
Already five sections have been
formed and two Of these will be con-
Quoted by Washington men. w. III.
Whitaker, superintendent OF the Dis
trict workhouse at Occoquan. will con-
duct the section on corrections, and
John Ihlder, secretary OF the Wilson
Memorial Homes Associati ton, VIII head
the section on housing and town plan
ming.
For the first time the Maryland
state conference is to extend its ac-
| tivities to those portions Of Maryland
contiguous to the District.
To Begin in Prince Georges.
7 Prince Georges county Is to form the
| experimental laboratory for the first
effort to work out the problem Of an ef-
fective social service agency In a
county.
The idea that because people live in
country districts they have no social
| problems Is fallacious." said Mr.. Daven-
port. in explaining the project to the
Monday Evening Club last evening.
Conditions OF Isolation bring prob.
lens just as acute as overcrowding."
Since each county cannot have an as
ISOLATED charity organization, n child
welfare society, and the many other co.
cial service agencies a city affords, Il Is
planned to work out n central agency
| which will control all these phases OF
work In each county In Maryland
Miss LILLIAN Hood has established
headquarters I'm fayetteville, and already
has begun working out the experiment
In Prince Georges county. Later work
| will be extended to MONTGOMERY county.
Cooperation Needed.
TO show how close a relation this
work bears to the District / may say
| that every one of the six cases with
| which Miss Hood already has dealt have
had some rels ZION to the District Eth.
| er the cases we're reported from Wash.
inston or those in question had rela.
! tives in the Capital"
! Mr. Davenport Is urging upon Wash.
ington social service agencies the re
porting to the Maryland State board OF
all cases here which have a bearins
upon Maryland. so that a closer CO
operation may be effected.
