other ark-like chairs filled. with roast
pig, fruit, vegetables, and other food
to be left at the Craze for TIE depart
ed soul to eat. The last Of the pro-
cession were four men bearing a chair
turned backwards. This was the chair
of the dead, and the spirit of the de-
parted man was supposed to be in
that chair. They were taking the
chair to the grave to burn it there for
lit to go on to the other world for the
dead mans use there.
A Chinese funeral is unspeakably
sad, for it is a matter of fear instead
of love, superstiIfUn instead of faith,
despair instead of hope.
A Heather Temple.
Of course we went through heath
en- temple. 1t was the Temple of
Five Hundred Buddhas." In one place
l saw a temple with over five thou
sand separate wooden idols, but this
one had just five hundred gods.
There were four huge ugly wooden
fellows at the door, about three times
the size of a human being, having
pink, green, red, and yellow faces
frowning and shaking their fists at
those who enter These are called
the guards, but are there really to
scare all who enter, particularly the
children. | am so glad Jesus loves
children and does not scare them.
Inside there were rows and rows of
huge wooden idols, every one made a
| little different from the others. Each
represents some particular blessing
which the people might desire. For
example, if man. wants money he
would worship the god who was hold
| ing money in his hand, and if he want
ed learning he would worship the god
holding books in his hand. In front
of each idol is a large incense ial
where people burn thousands of dol
lars worth of incense every year, try,
ing, to get blessings out of these
wooden images.
| One of our missionaries stopped
one of the Chinese Worshippers whC
was coming out of the temnle, azt
ansked him. "Have you ever heard OF
Jesus the living Son of God whom
men Worship"
"No, never Who is he?" was his
reply.
| After we returned to the Com
pound our Missionary Bro. John Lake
said to me Let me send back home

WANTS 1922 CON
VENTION.

Agricultural College, Miss, March
|19-The first over step towards giving
the members of THE Mississippi Press
Association real treat in May, 1922,
has been taken by the Starkville
chamber of commerce. This is In the
form of a resolution adopted to invite
the body to hold the 1922 Convention
in Starkville The purpose behind
this movement is to give to these men
who constitute the eyes Of the people
of the state not only an opportunity
to study economic conditions in this
most delightful and favored spot OF
| the Creators universe-the Jersey
Center 70 the South" but also to af--
ford them an opportunity to visit and
study at close range this great edu-
cational and vocational institution,
with all its adjuncts, at first hand.
At that period of the year, general
lly about midway, every department
and division of the Agricultural Col
| lege is full working order; each fea-
ture is at that time properly func-
tioning, and this would be. to the
members of the press of the state,
| fine opportunity for close up study.
| 1t is also among the tentative pos
sibilities in mind, to so arrange the
schedule that it would be possible to
have the press group visit Columbus
and the Mississippi State College for
Women, by arranging side trip to
the beautiful and attractive metropolis
of the far famed Tombigbee valley.
Or else, as has been suggested, the
Press Association might Of its own
nlo 10 brl 10 moot a
Columbus, and reverse the suggested
order, so that THE side trip could be
made from that center to StarkvlIIe
and the A. and M. College.
The college forces, academic, eXpef-
limenttal and extension divisions would
lbe delighted to have the newspaper
men of the state on their campus for
a DAYS visit. 1t would he in the nat
ure of practical education to them
land give them a better impression OF
the great constructive work that is be-
ing done, than any long distance view
can afford.
The same would be true of the
Woman's College and the work that
President FAINT and faculty are dong
to further perfect and prepare the
womanhood of Mississippi for the
vocational activities to which they
aspire. In fact, the most hard boiled
and materially members of the
press-gang would find such an eX-
rerience an eye-opener ar d a reveal
ton, to be turned loose for day or
two among the young manhood and
young womanhood of the great and
growing Magnolia State.

HOMESEEKERS RATES

Santa Fe, March Restoration
of the special homeseekers' rates into
New Mexico has been asked of the
Santa Fe and Rock Island railroads
by the state corporation commission.
The rates were suspended during the
war. Prior to that time, two Tues
days a month were set aside for spec
ial rates to New Mexico in order to
induce prospective homeseekers to
visit the state.
The corporation commission has
asked that these rates be restored in
order that additional settlers may be
brought in and more of the arabic
land of the state be placed under cul-
tivation. The Santa Fe and Rock Is
land are the two trans-contnental
