Big Need For
Missionary
Work in China

The crying need for foreign mis-
sionary work was brought out in a
talk given by Miss Cora Simpson,
medical missionary 10 Fu Chow,
China, at the Y. ". e. a Thurs
day afternoon. Miss Simpsons sub
ject was Motherhood in Non Chris
tian Countries" The frightful con-
ditions in China with which Miss
/ Simpson had been brought into con-
tant were wildly portrayed in her
talk.
Women in China up until recent
years, during which Christianity and
medical aid have been introduced
10 some extent, were counted as Of
no use whatever except to produce
sons for the nation With the
spread OF Christianity, this false idea
Is being routed and with the in
creased practice of medical aid, suf-
fering among women and men alike
is greatly reduced.
Miss Simpson cited many cases
illustrating the pitiable, shocking
conditions as they existed upon her
arrival in her territory.
In their ignorance, the Chinese
PEOPLE have looked upon disease
as evidence of the existence of de-
mons in the spirit OF the victim
Fire is regarded as a purifier and
all kinds of inhuman methods are
resorted TO in driving the demons
from the spirit" according TO Miss
Simpson, who herself has seen the
scars and CHASTITY marks left by the
instruments used for this purpose
upon babies and even grown per-
sons.
With candles. holes are burned
into the flesh of the Body or head;
long steel needles, equaling the
knitting needle in size, are heated
red-hot and run through the flesh to
let out the evil" They have no
training and no religion TO enighten
them.
why We must have women's
foreign missionary societies" stated
Miss Simpson. sis for the reason
that the Chinese custom does not
permit OF a mans attending a
woman who is i'll and suffering and
only women medical workers can
them OF Jesus Christ.
Much has been DONE" she con-
tinued, but the Chinese people are
ready for Christianity, since the
great deeds of DR.. Christ have been
heralded and we have not the mis-
sionaries there TO give them the
truth. Territories of thousands Of
people have but a very few physi-
clans. nurses and others who can
teach these people the things they
wish to and should know"
Chinese are first reached through
medical assistance. Particularly
among the women is this so. Wom-
en-. in their great gratitude and
wonder at the seeming miracle
W hich has befallen them, take read
lily to Christianity, the men follow
ing. Nor do they ever return u
their false worship that has been
theirs.
That one dollar donated TO some
foreign missionary fund. will be suf-
fcient to keep a Chinese woman in
comfort at one of the American
hospitals in China for two weeks. |
was an important statement made !
by Miss Simpson. She urged all /
who We're present to give greater /
consideration to the cause and I
to create as much interest in the |
work as possible among the mem /
bers Of the churches TO which they /
belong.

OUR MONEY
-" '''-i NOT WASTED

All Of the emoney being expended for
war purposes is not going to be a
waste Some of II is going TO be shot
away: some OF ii is going to be sunk
at sea; some of it is going to be in
vested in machinery that will be use
less in time OF peace.
But very great portion OF it is be-
ing spent for things that will be as
valuable when peace comes as now,
though not SO imperatively needed
then--ships for instance And as for
the immense amount spent in adapt
ing our manufacturing plants to war
purposes, IL is estimated that 80 per
cent of our war machinery can and
will be used for other manufactur-
ing work after the war.
The invisible and intangible fore
es, the moral forces of the world, the
soul and conscience of mankind are
lighting on our side.

The time seems ripe for such a
movement. 1t is true that every
body has all they can do and more
places to spend their money than ev-
er before, But such is life, the mere
we do the more we find to do and the
moment we let up, we commence to
find sufficient excuse for moi doing
anything.
The idea seems TO be meeting with
general favor, and indications all
point to a generous response for the
project

UNDER THE
CAPITOL DOME

The hours from two to four Of the
afternoon of June 2Sth of this year
will, without doubt, be two OF the
most important hours in American
History. At that time our citizens
will congregate in the various school
houses of this land under the call
of President Wilson and will conse-
crate themselves anew to the cause
OF Democracy ad freedom by indi-
vidually pledging to save certain
amount OF their income each month
and to invest their savings in War
Saving Stamps. This date will be
officially known as National War
Savings Day." II is the intention to
secure Savings pledges sufficient in
those two hours to complete the ma
tional quota on the War Savings
campaign The original amount to
be raised was Two Billion Dollars.
About one half billion has been rails
ed. The national quota has bee dis
tributed among the states and by
them TO the counties and on down
to the smallest political subdivision
President Wilson will soon issue
proclamation to the people of the
people of the United Staes calling
upon hem to assemble in their res
pective communities at that hour
and to pledge to save certain
amount eac hmonth. Already steps
are being completed to arouse such
a interest in the movement that he

or she who stays away from their
allotted place. or who fails to join in
the general saving plan will not be
considered a true blue American.
+ The campaign for this pledge from
American citizens will be different
iiOHi pICSSuiHSt SdhpdiuSs, III pre-
ceding campaigns pledges were Sc
cured from our people to purchase
or to give. In this campaign pledges
will be secured to save and purchase.
Saving is the essential feature OF the
plan. To get each person in Amer
lea to establish margin between
what is earned and what is spent
and to invest that margin in War
SavigS Stamps. II will not be pro-
per to go to the bank and borrow
sufficient funds with which to pur-
chase stamps, the price must be Sc
cured thru saving. By reason of
this Two p. NJ. June 2Sth will be the
time whenAmerica as people will,
under the authority OF the govern
ment, pledge herself to become a
nation Of thrift thru individual mon
thly. systematic saving and prudent
investment.

PETITION FOR
ANOTHER SCHOOL

petition has been presented to
the school board asking that aschool
house be built and equipped for q
school to be established in central
position in township ., 5S.
The idea seems to be that one
school could accommodate the pupils
using the transportation plan.
The petition was circulated BY John
Deala ndw as presented by Mr.. Nor
thup and is very largely signed.
1t asks for teacher or teachers to
cover the eight grades.
The school board is asked to meet
and talk with the signers, and this
viii probably be done.
In remarks made at the time of
leaving the petition, we were able to
| gather little more Of the reason for
Mr., Northup's criticisms. He stated
that the board was being grated.
and when asked TO state in what
way, he said we were paying the
drivers too much and that we were
| paying too much for coal. He may
have other things in mind but did
not mention them then We hear Of
other charges made, but those who
report them do not wish to have their
names used and we can hardly blame
them.
| II Mr.. Northup will be candid
enough to make the same statements
to the board that he makes about
them orfair enough to make his charg-
esagainst the boardin their presence,
or if this has been his course, II peo-
pie will correctly report him, 1t will
be easier to arrive at some definite
conclusions.
AS to the driving. the board en-
deavored to get the benefit of Mr..
Northup's advice in securing driver
er, either himself or some one else
satisfactory to him and the patrons.
On the coal. 1t has been bought
of local dealers, good share of the
co-operatiye company. and we have
believed and believe now that coal is
handled in Raymer at a margin too
low to support an exclusive. coal bus
mess We do not believe that Mr.
Northnp would take the coal bus
ness of Raymer. II he could be assur-
ed of the whole thing and run II for
the margin prevailing in coal bus
mess.
| Mr.. Northup says that he buys
coal at large saving. We do re-
member Just how large he claimed.
but so large that 1t would pay the
community to engage him to secure
the entire coal supply. In fact, we
think that II he can make such a
saving, he should at once be drafted
l
| administrator for the nation.
The school board has made mistak-
es, and it will continue to make them
and il will welcome any and all crit
icism; and further, 1t will try to
profit by that criticism. Honest crit
icism is good for any body of public
servants.
| Mr.. Northup also found fault with
the efforts Of the people OF Raymer
to elect member of the school board
We had supposed that living on the
town plat of Raymer was not rea-
son for disfranchisement We have
not yet been able to fathom Mr.. Nor
thup's reason.
