DIR. SUMNER X. yINT0S
REVIEWS PAGAN RELIGIONS

A review of pagan religions was CIV
en- by DR.. Sumner r. Vinton, mis-
sionary and photographer, in Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church last night His
lecture was illustrated with large
number of stereopticon slides, among
which was the recent burning of
Smyrna. The picture showed masses OF
people rushing toward the sea.
"Mohammedanism is fatalistic
philosophy with no message of broth
erhood," DR. Sumner said. Buddhism
is a pessimietic philosophy in which
nothing is thought permanent or real
and which denied the existence OF
God or Of the soul. Hinduism has sunk
10 unbelievable depths of idolatry."
Educa tional work being done by
foreign missionaries was explained
and illustrated with slides. One-hali
the world, the non-Christian half, Is
illiterate, DR.. Vinton declared, ano
it is the duty of the Christian hall
to develop the others.

1t was in late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
was serving as lookout. was in Lake
Superior that Alan first heard OF Jim
Burr. The name spoken among some
other names in casual conversation by
a member of the crew, stirred and ex-
cited him; the name james Burr. oc-

borne opposite ii the legend "All dis

Investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained. had
been able regarding Burr only TO verify

Burr came up and waited there, occu-

never drank; he never spoke to Others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost anc about men long dead.
Alan dec!t1d that there could be no
better place to interview old Burr than
here; he aaited therefore. and In the
early ev2hng the old man came in. He
was s.ander but muscularly built man
