Mexico’s Peaceful Conquest
-A Great Opportunity tost
Nashville, Tennessee, (Special)
• —That Mexico might have been
pacified years ago and a stable
government established, and that
in our present deplorable relations
with that country the people of the
United States are paying the price
of their indifference to Mexico’s
needs in years past and their fail
ure to extend a helping hand, is
the startling opinion expressed by
Dr. W. W. Pinson, of this city,
General Secretary of the Southern
Methodist Board of Missions. Dr
Pinson says;
J;iii;;;V.Thc danger of war with Mexico
which seems imminent, is due to the
'" condition of the vast majority of
the Mexican population. With nin
ety per cent of the people illiterate
and after 350 years of oppression
uncTpoliticnl disorder, stable con
ditions and anything like a popular
government are impossible. The
vast majority of the people are so
ignorant and poor that they are at
the mercy of any shrewd, designing
leader, and the prey of any strong
hand that tatty be laid upon them
Hence disorder, and the impossibil
ity of any coherent, patriotic state
of society.
“This condition could have been
prevented by the Churches of the
United States in the past forty
years of missionary work in that
country if the situation had been
dealt with in the large and liboral
fashion that it demanded. If the
whole country had been dotted
with mission schools and a Chris
tian leadership by that means cre
ated, there would have been no
necessity for war at this time,
Mexico’s revolution would have
been peaceful and effective,
single year of war with Moxico will
cost the United States Government
more than all the Churches of the
country have put into Mexico in
the last forty years. It will cost
infinitely more to kill and be killed
than it would have cost to live and
make alive with the' Gospel.
“Such a meeting us the Congress
on Christian Work in Latin Amer
ica, recently held at Panama, is a
step in the direction of permanent
peace more powerful than any other
that has been taken in half a cen
tury in relation to the Latin-Amer
ican countries. A properly unified
policy on the part of Mission
Boards in the past forty years
would have gone far, even with the
meager equipment and small mis
sionary force, toward the preven
tion of what now seems inevit
able.”
A Million People Starving;
Five Millions For Relief
estimates that it will take five mil
lion dollars to save the lives and
give a new start to the one million
starving and destitute Armenians,
Syrians end Persian Nestorians,
who have suffered the loss of all
their possessions in the Turkish
persecutions that have devastated
their country. For the purpose of
raising this money in America,
the Laymen’s Missionary Move
ment have loaned their executive
staff of sixteen men—most of whom
will give all of their time for some
months to this work. Mass meet
ings will he held in New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago,
Detroit, Boston and elsewhere, at
which addresses will be given by
such able advocates as Ambassador
Morgenthau, Dr. Nesbitt Cham
bers,of Adana; Rev. J. B. Mc-
Naughton, of Smyrna; Dr. James
L. Barton and Dr. Samuel P. Dut
ton. Tito entire oroenses of this
special campaign ($3,000 to $5,000
a month) are being borne by one
man, who thus makes possible the
forwarding of all contributions to
the relief work. The plan is to se
cure the .$5,000,000 in a large num
ber of subscriptions, so many may
have a share in the blessing of min
istering to one of the brethern of
Christ—even the least.
The relief money will be sent to
Armenia, Russia, Syria and Persia
to provide for immediate need, and
especially, to start the destitute suf
ferers on the road, to. self-support
by supplying seed for planting and
materials for manufacture and
trade. This seems to be the only
way in which these races can be
saved from extinction. The call
comes forcibly, not only because
the men, women and little children
are in dire need, hut because they
might have saved themselves by
denying their faith in Christ and
becoming Moslems. Here is an
opportunity to show Christlike
compassion in a practical way, and
at the same time to win these his
toric Christian races to a better un
derstanding ofthe Christ they nom
inally follow. Gifts should he sent
to Charles R. Crane, Treasurer, 70
Fifth Avenue, New York.

Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—“The
second regular session of the pres
ent legislature finds the country
improved, so far as its general fi
nancial condition is concerned”
declared Governor Nat E. Harris
in his message to the Georgia legis
lature today. “Business has con
tinued to advance, and the recent
low prices of - our farm products
have become things of the past.
The merchants are selling for high
er profits and in greater volume.
The banks are thriving; money is
easy, and the people of the Com
monwealth, generally, are in much
better spirits, in every respect, than
prevailed at your last meeting.
“While the .war still rages with
unabated fury across the ocean,
yet our people have escaped its
ravages, aiid our country, up to
this time has been free from attack
by outside foes, save a few incur
sions on the borders of Mexico.
“The call for the National
Guard, it is hoped, ha,s been more
to teach our sister republic that the
United States is not as helpless Rs
our critics have sought to prove,
rather than for the purposes of
serious' warfare. The result has
certainly disclosed the fact that a
eall to arms will be heard as quick
ly and answered as promptly now,
as was the same call in 1847 or the
tocsin in 1861,
“It is a pleasure for me to tell
you that our state met the demand
as readily, and that our guard was
in the field, equipped and officered,
as quickly, as any state in the
Union—that t he Georgia boys felt
the same patriotic ardor as those
in New York, or Massachusetts, or
any other Commonwealth of the
Union. In thirty six hours after
the word came, our ranks were
filled, our organizations completed,
and our men stood at their armor
ies, with guns in their hands, await
ing the word of command from the
National Head.”
Governor Harris also, discussed
the national guard and the army
reorganization act, passed by con
gress, calling attention to the re
quirements placed upon this state
precedent to securing its benefits,
Among other subjects discussed
in the message were the lease of
the Western & Atlantic railroad,
the antiparalleling act, lynch law,
compulsory education, prohibition
laws, local legislation, highway
commission, state warehouse sys
tem, 6tate finances, inheritance tax,
labor legislation, exemption of col
lege endowments from taxation,
litigation with copoer companies,
and four-year term for governor
and statp-house officers.
The governor showed that the
Western & Atlantic railroad is the
best of all the tangible assets [of 1
the state of Georgia. He said the I
prospect of leasing the road seems
very favorable.
Referring to the prohibition laws
enacted at the extraordinary ses
sion of the legislature, culled by
Governor Harris, and for which
Georgia prohibitionists give him
full credit, the governor shows the
great benefits that have followed
its operation of nearly two months.
Bank deposits have largely in
creased in all the cities; the mer
chants are selling more goods to
customers; there is more work in
progress, and a general improve
ment has resulted in nearly all
linos, of business throughout the
state. He points out that the law
is being well enforced, and there
seems to be a disposition to give
the statutes a fair trial in every
county for filing statement of each
shipment of, intoxicating beverages,
as required under the law.
The message of Governor Harris
is of unusual length, as it goes
thoroughly into the various sub
jects that he takes up. It is re
garded by law makers as a partic
ularly strong document and shows
the close investigation which the
executive has made into matters
connected with his administration.
The governor expects to send spec
ial messages on the W. & A. prob
lem and other matters.
