Others that are not. These others work
In one town and exhaust their trade.
and then go on to another. We had q
crowd in Manila who represented low
moral tome and then they moved on to
Shanghai, and hit as and our govern
ment from there and we knew them
as Shanghai ROSTERS. Now it is too
bad that the cause of Christianity
should suffer from representatives of
that class. Christian missions neutra-
he the influence of those men, through
out The length and breadth of China
and other great non Christian countries
In which foreign missions operate.
Modern Methods are Helpful.
"In the last generations, or two gen
erations ago, you didn { know as much
even Ia your Church as you do now
how 10 make those missions really eff
fective. You relied merely upon
preaching, You relied upon kind of
anssere method of dealing with the ma
lives. / cannot minimize ths great
sacrifice that many of che missionaries
made, yet their approach to the natives
Of these countries was tactless and che
penalties Of caste belief were emphss-
lied too mach, as compared with the
present advantages of the Christian
spirit and the Christian inspiration.
Nov you and the others engaged an
these foreign missions hare introduced
inotitEtional work. You have given
them education, you have given them
hospitals, you have led them On to
show to them WHIST the Good Samari-
tan meant You have given them to
understand the love of fellow man, that
Christianity has as its basis, and YOU
have shown it to them in the works
you have done.
Now one instance Of that sort
spreads over the country even with no
means OF communication such we have.
1t is perfectly wonderful in those ORR
entail countries and among those back
ward people how an idea communicated
at one point viii travel with the speed
of lightning over the country and how
the benefcent influence of a mission
airy center With school, hospital and
church, and a sample of the self
sacrificing missionaries, travel through
the wide expanse of which that is the
center A whisper viii travel with re-
markable rapidity and so it becomes
true that every foreign mission of the
character headed by self-sacrifcing
intelligent, sympathetic, broad men
will exert an influence through that
country that hasn't been measured at
all by the question as to whether those
people that are helped are converts of
Christianity or not.''

APRIL ARDOR AT
EASTER CLASSIC
Spell of the Springtime
Dominates knights of Co
Iumbus Dance AT the
Elks Home.
A MODEST MERRY MAKING
Quiet Dignity Marks Bali Following
Sacred Lenten season--Mirth Con-
ttnues Until Long After
Midnight.
A MODEST MERRY MAKING

The post-leuten social season opened
ultra auspiciously on Monday evening
when the KenoBhn Council Of the
knights Of Columbus gave its annual
Easter Dance in the Lodge Room and
Ladies Lounge OF the Elks Home,
The absence Of garish decorations
gave the affair a quiet dignity, Who'll
ly appropriate to the aftermath Of so
sacred season. And yet the dance
was not without its springtime color
ing. Gowns IN Lilac, hyacinth pink,
American Beauty, pale rose and vern-
al, evaneGeent green's gave the function
an April shading and an April ardor
more artistic, if less realistic than that
moro commonly created by flowers and
fragile greenery.
Especially striking among the dress
es Of tho "dawncers = was creation
Ia lowered crepe over white silk and
another in Liberty Red with simmer
ing sash of French blue.
The music for the ball was furnished
by the First Company" of John
son IS Jazz Orchestra. AS always with
this aggregation it Was sprightly and
"gavottiBh - enough to be inspiring
and yet strangely colored with haunt
ing minor notes giving it whimsicalfty
and Dearclassical feeling Among the
most popular numbers on the program
were "I'm Always Chasing Rain
bows,' "Hindustan,' "Oui, Oui
Marie" "That johnson Jazz'' and
selections from ''The Spring Maid"
Shortly after midnight two
course luncheon was served on the
mez7anine floor overlooking the dance
hall. Appointments here, as in the
Lodge Room, were characterized by
an artistic modesty wholly becoming
TO an Faster dance. The only decora-
tions were clusters Of carnations inter
twined with fluffy runners Of smilax.
Cuisine and service for the collation.
were Of the high standard already es-
tabhshed by previous functions at the
Elks Home.
Following the luncheon the dancing
was resumed with renewed vim and
vigor. As in tie early evening the
one-step was the prevailing favorite
but occasional waltxes gave variety
and brought tender "reminiscences Of
othe Easter dances in the long, long
years before the tango came to sup
plant the two-step and obliterate 'ethe
stately miRuet.''
Had it been Saturday night instead
of Monday the dancers could almost
have gone from the nlerry-making to
early mass, so irresistible was the
music and the spell of the springtime
at the annual Easter Dance.

TAFT ON THE CENTENARY
Laus the Work Methodist Missionaries in Speech
Recently Made in Minneapolis

Il am delighted to be here and to
speak to you because you are met as
understand it, to consider the question
OF raising two great funds for mission
airy purposes. You are here to be back
Of those who GO to spread the Christian
Gospel In backward lands, as well as
to raise fund for home mission. Your
aspirations are high as to the amount
that You are going 10 raise, and have
no doubt that they viii be realized. T
have no doubt of it because of the mill
tant spirit of your Church and its ca
pacity for doing the things that it de-
termines to do. I know something of
MethodiSm. I have seen 1t work in
foreign countries. / have felt what
I may say the pushing impulse and I
know a good deal more ebout foreign
missions than / did before I went on
the missionary purpose of the United
States to the Philippine Islands. That
led mo into the 0rient--the far Orient.
Il counted myself 3 near neighbor TO
China in all her parts, DO India, in all
her parts and ell the Orient and [
came to know the great world import
anee In the progress OF Christian civil
ration that foreign missions and the
Christian churches OF the United States
have. came to know something of
She influence they WELD. I lived among
bishops. They came to Manila There
were al sorts of bishops there.
I became ecclesiastical in my in
terests and spirit. l have been told
/ look like a, bishop.
Numbers not the Best Measure.
What I want to say is that the
work Of foreign missions, while i'm
portant in the conversion of non
Christians, is not to be measured by
the number Of converts. This Is the
poorest measure If I may say so, of
what they are doing. When we are
seeking to spread Christian civilization,
it is just as well that we should have
samples OF our goods that al peal to
those whom we are seeking to encour-
age to do business with us, if I may
use a commercial metaphor. ann
bound to say to you without being
invidious in my limitations, that a
great number of those who claim to be
Christians and who live in the far
Orient, have left the Occident for the
good of the occident, and there has
been introduced into the minds of the
Orientals who have to deal with men
Of that kinds, a contempt for what
they regard as the pretensions Of the
Christian religion, in the samples Of
Christians with whom they have to deal.
II do not mean TO say that there are
not honorable men there, but there are

veterans Of 'o1 were the guests of hon
or at two banqnets spread by the Fred
8. Lowell Post OF the Woman g Relief
Corps and by the McCabe Circle Of the
Ladies Of the @. A. R. It was sur
prise all the way round because each
Of the organizations of patriotic wo-
men had worked Independently of the
other and they were as surprised as the
old soldiers themselves when they met
at the meeting han Of the Grand Army.
The "Boys in Blue, just as they
did in '6i and '65, volunteered to 4do
their best and divided the honors of
their company with the two organiza-
tions. Tn addition to the double ban
quets spread for the veterans each Of
the organization had splendid pa
triotic program which recalled the days
around the campfire.
The feature Of the evening was the
presentation of a new silk '6tars and
Stripes to the Kenosha Post OF the
Grand Army. At a recent meeting Of
the Ladies of the G. A. B., it was no
ticed that the old standard of Che post
had become frayed around the edges
and that the veterans Of the Civil War
might have suitable banner with
which TO welcome the heroes Of the last
war. they gave them a new silk flag.
The speech Of presentation was made
by Mrs. Murdick, the president Of the
McCabe Circle, and the response was
made by Theodore Bcyington, Conn
mander Of the Fred o. Lowell, Post.
A musical program of rare ability
was included in the Festivities Of the
evening. How the blue and the gray
of Civil War days changed to the kha-
XII Of 1913 was the theme of very In
teresting reading by MRS. Murdick.
She was followed by patriotic num-
Der by Mrs. Fairfield which recalled the
patriotism which enthused the boys of

One Of the features Of the program pre-
sensed by the Woman 3 Relief Corps
was a reading of stThe American
Greed'9 by Richard Ohmsted, the eight
year old son Of Mrs William Ohmsted,
which called for GA Place for the
Service Flag as a encore. Short
taaks we're made by various members
of The three orders as ft4ing close
TO The excellent program.
Then followed the call to mess and

the tables decorated with Easter flow

from the comrades thanked the ladies
for the splendid evening which had
been prepared for them and assured
them that the evening wouid be record
