The Future of Missions.
Manchester GuardianD


 Recent developments in Asia and in Africa have in the activities of foreign missions The popular idea of the missionary with his illustrated texts and his white umbrella benigny preaching the Gospel to cannbals anxious only to make a meal of him is now entirely obsolete if indeed, it ever had any foundation in fact. That the missionary organizations of the changed situation and ready to adapt themselves to it is proved by last weeks discussions at the opening session of the Conference of British Missionary Societies The mis- sionary organizations in for instance the new aspirations of Indian Nationalsm and in their fervent expression rather opportunities than an impeachment to their work. They eager to assist the striving of hitherto subject peoples to realize political and cultural freedom, and entirely prepared to adapt their institutions in this sense. The first object of missionary work was to spread the Christian faith-directly by teaching it, and indirectly by undertaking humanitarian work that would demonstrate it's qualities. This object still holds but a certain humility has been added to it. The missionary does not much carry truth to ignorance light to darkness present particular revelation of truth in the hope that it may add to the understanding and culture and moral values of foreign societies. He is not the emissary of an institution already perfected but ready to learn and, at the time, to speak his convictions and to apply them in his manner of life. We know that progress lies not in the triumph of civilization but by the contact of civilization with civilization to the enrichment of both In this connection, the missionary, free he is from political and commercial entanglements, be of immense service.

THE WEST FOR ROOSEVELT?

Chairman James A. Farley of the New York Democratic State Central Committee who is back home from attendance at the Elks Convention at Seattle announced upon his return to New York that the Democratic National Convention ought to be at San Francisco He declared that the whole West is for Gov Roosevelt for President and senti ment for him, he said in Caiofrnia, Oregon and Washington is growing rapidly. He believes that a general movement of Democratic leaders from all sections of the country to the Far West next year would have beneficial effect on the Roosevelt candidacy throughout the Nation.
 Additional evidence of the growing support for Gov Roosevelt comes from letters written by Fred w Johnson of Wyoming to National Committeeman James J. Connors and others in Alaska. MT.

Roosevelt this year. He says most of the rank and file of the Republicans of Wyoming also for Gov. Roosevelt.
 New York Chairman Farley on his trip to Seattle tarried in various Southern and Western Smith in 1928 seems to be for Gov. Roosevelt now and to their numbers must be added thousands who opposed Gov. Smith

Twas a Tragic Day.
(Port Angeles News.)

If 500 Americans were killed in one battle, this Nation would gasp and mourn, yet over Independ- Day 500 people met violent deaths from auto mobile accidents, arpane tragedies, drownings etc. and the Nation remains tranquil The pesky fire cracker accounted for only six of the 500 deaths
 Automobile accidents caused scores of deaths. Cour- tesy on the road and leaving the moonshine home would reduce these. Drownings claimed heavy toll Teaching youngsters to swim well would be a fine antidote. The glorious Fourth certainly tragic day.

Speaking of the increase in the number of dry agents July l, Prohibition Director Woodcock has said that if the dry law isn't brought to stage of effective enforcement within the next few months his Bureau will have "alibi" to offer. That is placing good deal of faith in the character and capabilities of the There 800 of them to be scattered the country. There were 36 323 citizens who voted in the last election and it would be safe to say that half of them, at least, have no respect for Prohibition.
