EVILS CANNOT BE CORRECTED
IN A DAY; PATIENCE REQUIRED.
“The houses in their midst,” out¬
ward and visible signs of vice, have
been closed. The inmates, pathetic
in the last analysis, have been scat¬
tered right and left. Regardless of
the wisdom or unwisdom of the plan,
it need not he thought that the mor¬
al obliquity these fleeing creatures
typify has been more than scotched.
As the Constitution pointed out
several days ago, and without refer¬
ence to Chief Beavers’credit, perma¬
nent remedy is deep-lying. Let us
be frank, if we would genuinely pro
gross. The instinct of the hunter
that runs in the blood of many men
has been fed, century after century,
generation after generation. By what
means, and at what terrible, heart¬
breaking penalty, is another matter,
The stubborn fact remains.
One cannot enduringly subdue a
fire without searching also for the
cause that may start another blaze.
Look at our literature. Is it not pos¬
sible to find in that a feeding source
of immorality? Are not hundreds of
looks, each year, turned from press¬
es and allowed to drift into the hands
of immature children carrying the
roost salacious suggestions?
Look at our stage. It is true that
there are many beautiful and uplift¬
ing theatrical productions, it is just
as true that they are probably out¬
numbered by others, bristling with
“double entendre” motives, so-called
MISSIONARY GLEANINGS.
'Those who are still opposed to for¬
eign missions are certainly keeping
their eyes closed to the wonderful in¬
fluence for good tliait Protestant mis¬
sionaries and Christians are having
(in tho affairs of the nations of the
Orient. It is not generally known
that peace negotiations between the
Chinese revolutionists and the lead¬
ers of the Manchu army, were under¬
taken at the instance and conducted
at the residence of a Chinese busi¬
ness man, Mr. E. S. Little, of Shang¬
hai, who was for a time a missionary
and had mastered the Chinese lan¬
guage. When the proposed plan for
a peace conference was accepted, Mr.
Tang and his corps of assistants and
secretaries were the guests of Mr.
Little during the entire period of ne¬
gotiations. His library w r as turned
into a public office from which hun¬
dreds of confidential telegrams were
sent to Penkin by way of cable to
Japan, in order to secure secrecy.
After the commissioners met, and ne¬
gotiations were delayed so long on
account of the Eniporer’s unwilling¬
ness to abdicate, Mr. ’Little became
the object of suspicion. His stead¬
fastly refusing to give out any news
irritated the newspaper men, and

Any other kind are a loss of time, useless hard work for

‘problem plays,” or extravaganzas,
witnessed mutually by mother and
daughter, father and son. Many ot
them, to use a line from Longfellow,
thronging with dances calculated to
“fire the blood of inconsiderate
youth.”
Look at our magazines. They
carry stories and pictures the under¬
lying motive of which is the sex
problem in its most false and allur¬
ing details.
iSo far as that is concerned — and
almittedly the subject is a delicate
one—think of the street and house
costumes of the day. In many cases
they are of such mold and manner as,
twenty years ago, would have caused
v/holesale prosecutions.
These are issues that lie deeply
imbedded in the social fabric. How
they are to be handled, we do not
assume to say. We do know that
they offer food for thought to men
and women really in earnest in fight¬
ing immorality in all of its forms—
and they are all more or less mute
witnesses to the fact that the evil
we all agree should be eliminated
must be cast out by patient, intelli¬
gent and searching education. The
pioblem is not one that can be set¬
tled in a single day. The Bible
speaks of some sorts of devils that
come out “only by prayer and fast¬
ing.”—Atlanta Constitution.
the 'nsinuation went abroad that he
was trying to betray the revolution¬
ary cause to the Manchus. His life
was threatened, and his house had
to be guarded against dynamiters. At
last they succeeded in convincing the
Manchus that abdication was inevit¬
able. Thus was prevented the break¬
ing out of a bloody civil war. What
a war might have led to, no one can
know, but it would have been incon¬
ceivably disastrous. Yoan and Tang
and Wu should have all possible cred¬
it for preventing it, but the initia¬
tive taken by the modest Christian
business man should not be over¬
looked. What Mr. Little was able
to do for the cause of humanity, is
typical of the influence Christian bus¬
iness men might exert in all parts of
the world if they would. Umfortun
afely too many American traders do
ing business in heathen lands, are
far from being' Christians, and so Jiin
I cer instead of help the onward step
of peace and good will, and the com¬
ing; of the kingdom of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ.
