CRITICISM APPRECIATED

The Daily Picayune of yesterday published all article from the pen of Rev. J. 4. Sage, in which the writer offered few words of friendly crit iclsm," concerning news item which appeared in this paper Monday with reference to the proposed Sunday ex- eursion to Fl Dorado.
 His article was true and timely bringing to mind the necessity of Sab bath observance, and pointing out the wisdom of a day other than Sunday for the excursion to the Fl Dorado oil field.
 In this. Bro. Sage is right AS mat ter of fact, however, Sunday excursions are not unusual-the people have grown accustomed to these outings" and we dare say that no thought of Sabbath desecration entered the minds of those who were planning the trip to Fl Dorado.
 The Picayune treated the matter purely as q news item. but the para graph objected to by Bro Sage we nc knowledge written hastily and un- thoughtedly, for after due considera- tion we feel and know the great respon- sibility resting upon us with reference 10 a strict observance of the Holy Sab bath, and we happily agree that Gods word should be paramount in the great issue of life
 The Picayune stands for those things upon which rests the safety and perpe tuity of the state and nation. chief among these being. the faithful obSer- vance of the blessed Sabbath

 of Near East Relief.

Cleveland H. Dodge, New York bank CT and business man, director of tho National City Bank, and treasurer O The Russell Sage Foundation and of the Near East Relief, declares that "a nation has been saved by American philanthropy. and the generosity of the American people through the Near East Relief, in its work for the Ar nenians.
 "The lowest official estimate indi- cates that one million persons are liv- ing today who would not be alive had 1t not been for this relief" Mir. Dodge continued, q have an autograph letter from pr. Fl. Ohandjanian. president of the Armenian Republic. in which he writes America literally saved us rom starvation.
 Wholly aside from adults who have been saved from starvation. we today have in orphanages and elsewhere un- der our care 10000 homeless, father less or motherless children who are absolutely dependent upon us. This is exclusive of 63 hospitals with 6532 beds, 128 clinics. rescue homes for girls and unnumbered thousands of refugees who are being helped through our industrial relief and iD other ways.
 "The Near East Relief has during the ,ast four or five years commission ed and sent to the Near East more whom 500 are still In the field, all of them working at great financial sacri- fice-the standard of salary being $50 per month and malntenance-and many of them facing great personal danger and hardship In the perform ance of their life-saving service. A score of them have died from typhus or other diseases more or less related to their fathfulness ID the perform snce of relief service.
 "Nor Is that all We have raised and disbursed during war times and in a war-torn area, in large measure under enemy control more than $41,- 100000 in cash. and, including flour, Red Cross and other supplies admin istered by our agents. total of cash and supplies in excess of $50,000, ,00O.

 Mir. Dodge considers the work of the Near East Relief one of the most stupendous undertakings of dlsinter- ested philanthropy the world has ever seen.
 "lL countries whose population to- tals more than 30000,000 souls, Ameri- can idealism exemplified by the work of the Near East Relief constitutes today a torch of enlightenment and fn influence for peace throughout the whole Near East" he maintains.
