Most of the guests had known the
joys and sorrows of many years,
and it was inspiring to see these
dear old souls, their faces lit with
animation, as they whiled the mo
ments away recounting experiences
of days of yore. Many wonderful
things were told, but theirs was not
the “winter of discontent.” Nothing
was allowed to mar the joy of the
occasion. It was if their mission
had been proved that,
“An old face, laughter wrinkled,
Is the sweetest thing on earth-”
Mrs. Radford was assisted in en
tertaining by Miss Gussie O’Neal,
who in her usual charming manner
rendered delightful music, including
some of the “ever-new’’ old time
melodies.

Fannie Hunnieutt, Mrs. Polly Mc-
Elroy, Mrs, Martha Smith, Mrs.
Peggy W ages, Mrs. Louise V. Rob

"EVERYTHING TO WEAR.”
GOOD ROADS.
We give below part of a letter
written to the National Good Roads
Congress by the fourth assistant
postmaster general. It would be
well for our readers to note what he
says about the delivery of mail over
illy-kept roads:
The argument is frequently made
by some thoughtless patron of rural
delivery that if he is able to get
over the roads for a distance of a
half dozen miles to the postoffice,
the rural carrier can do so, and
there is no excuse for a suspension
of the service. Such an. argument
is wholly illogical and unreasonable,
as there is a vast deal of difference
between the conditions. The car
rier's route may by 30 miles in
length, and must be traveled every
i day upon a fixed schedule, while
the patron may go at his own con
venience and use such by-roads as he
sees fit to choose in getting to the
office. The department will not
insist that because a patron can, by
plodding through muck and mire,
get oyer a road, a rural carrier must
do so, but will insist that if the
people residing on the route desire a
continuance of service or to prevent
temporary suspension of service,
the routes must be made traversa
ble with ease and facility.
The improvement of the highways
means an earlier delivery and dis
patch of mail to and from rural
residents, thus enabling them to re
ceive and take advantage of market
reports; assure them of the relia
bility of the service at a fixed hour
every day, and lessens the wear and
; tear on carriers’ vehicles and horses.
I am thoroughly optimistic in my
views of the good roads question,
and while I know that the prop
aganda is spreading and an added
impetus has been given to it, yet
there remains much to be done in
order to arouse from their apathy
those who should be interested, but
FOUR==SPECIAL==VALUES.
who are indifferent to the subject.
The work which the good roads as
sociations and clubs are aiding
should command the attention and
support of all good citizens, and
assuring you of the desire and
willingness of the Post Office Depart
ment to co-operate in your work to
the fullest extent permissable, 1
am Very respectfully,
P- V. DE GRAW,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral.

WE MISSIONARIES KNEW.
In the Christian church at Craw*
fordsville, Indiana, the Rev. Paul
! Wakefield, of Springfield, Illinois,
I gave a talk Tuesday evening two
j weeks ago.
Among other things, Mr. Wake
, field said:
“There are more missionaries degrad
ed by Chinese men than there are
Chinese converted.
“The tragic termination of the China
town romance of Elsie Sigel and her
two Mongolian suitors has uncovered
! the evils of the system of individual re
: ligious instruction which is almost uni
j versal in the Chinese missions.
“We missionaries have known this
I for a long time and were not surprised
when ve read of Elsie Sigel’s tragic
! death. ’’
Is it possible that the missionaries
1 have known all along that the system
of mission work now in operation
! was causing the degradation of mure,
women missionaries than them were
Chinese converted, and kept the
hideous secret to themselves?
If they knew, why did they not
warn the girls anxious to do the
Master’s work?
Says Watson’s Jeffersonian:
“Did ‘we missionaries’ warn the
girls, who were to go blindly into
that vile association? No. Did ‘we
missionaries’ warn the mothers and
fathers of the would-be missionary
girls? No. Did‘we missionaries’tell
the people about it,in the missionary
sermon? No. Was any hint of it
dropped in the reports to Conven
tions, Conferences and Synods? No.
Did any of the missionary papers
or magazines put you and your sis
ters and daughters on your guard?
No. ‘We misHHAnaries’ had known
it a longtime, but we kept it to
ourselves! Why? Because tho
knowledge of the appalling truth
would have brought the deluded
people to their senses and the mis
sionary collections would have fall
en off!
“Suppose that 1 had charged this
horrible eyil upon the missionary
methods, —would the missionaries
have confessed it? You know they
would not. They would have de
nied it bitterly. But Elsie Sigel’s
dead body, discovered in the bed
room of one of the bright and shin
ing Chinese ‘converts,’ ‘uncovered
the evil of the system.’
“ ‘We missionaries’ knew of those
evils, and had known of them for a
long time! But we kept the lid on.
We saw our Christian sisters walk
ing blindly to perdition and we did
not say one word to save them!
“Merciful God! How could any
thing be more infamous?
“If ‘we missionaries’ could keep
covered up such frightful conditions
in the mission work among the
Chinese of New York, what is it
that they could not keep covered up
in the mission work in China?
“You did not know that Chinese
rakes were wearing Christian clothes
to get the chance to debase Caucas
ion girls. ‘We missionaries’ knew
it, but kept the secret.
“What other secrets are they
keeping?
“The terrible confession of Rev.
Wakefield ought to damn this whole
unscriptural system of foreign mis
sions.
“The missionaries who kept that
awful secret are not much bettor
than the Chinamen who ruined the
girls.”

, days with relatives near Dacula.
