Remember That—

The more the eChristian were
persecuted the stronger they gr« w,
and that it took forty centuries to
prepare mankind for the bistor c
deveb p of the Cliritianity it en
joys today. The Apostle Peter was
crucified at Rome with his head
downward. Paul was h< headed
by Emperor N»-ro. June* the
Greater was beherd* dat Jerusa
lem. James the L es was thrown
from a pinnacle of the temple and
then beaten to death with a ful
ler’s club. Andre* was bound to a
cross and preached the g( spel to
his persecutors until he died
Phillip was scourged and cruci

iive. Matthews was slain by a
a sw-rd Thsmas was killed with
a lance Simon Zelotes was cru
cified in Great Britain. Jude
was shot to death by* arrows.
Matthias was stoned, and then
beheaded. Mark was dragged
through the streets of Alexandria.
Barnabas was stoned to death.
Luke was hanged on an clive tree
and John was put in a caldron of
boiling oil.
And also remember that civili-

peoples races nr nations that are
up today are d< wn t<morriw.
They contribute tb»ir mite and

did the Egyptians, the Greeks and
the Romai s, whose civilization
was passed on thr< ugh conquest
to the Britons, whose evolution
was of slow growth. This is the
civilization we enjoy t< day, and
which we in turn will improve
and pass on to others.

In marked contrast to the condi

the Latin-Americi n c< entries of
Central America, the end of the
fiscal year in Haiti, which is un
der temporary American control,
shows gratifying and substantial
progress. The fiscal year that
closed on S pi ember 30, accord

ted by the American high com
missioner to Haiti, showed a to
tal income of $6,496,899 from the
collection of customs and inter

$1,165,998 over the previous fis

Haiti is essentially an agricul
