OLD JAPANESE ART
Swords of Perfumed Steel That
Cannot Now Be Made.
MARVEL OF A CRYSTAL BALL
Rubbed Into a Perfect Sphere by Hand,
It Would Bo Difficult to Duplicate It
With Modern Machinery—Legend of
the Secret of a Swordmaker.
Stool muik» more tlmn KOO.yours ago,
with tt sweet odor put In so tlmt the
metal still retains the scent— that Is
one of the secrets of nil old .lupnnese
sword maker described by Reginald F.
St. Fere Valle of London. Mr. Valle
la nit amateur collector and bis en
thusiasm for the beauty of old Japa
nese art has carried him fur back
Into the centuries.
Mr. Vntle actually-owned a sword of
scented steel one time, hut It was
stolen from the office of Ids lawyer
several years ago. He regards this
loss ns the greatest a collector could
fape and feels sure that he will never
get that sword buck again.
"The perfume was delicate and
pleasing." he said. "It Is not the only
sword of the kind in the world. The
royal collection at Vienna has one, and
thero are two or three more which
have retained their fragrance for ull
these hundreds of years.
"The scent Is actually a pnrt of the
steel. The sword was IncuHed In a
wood sheath, which gave forth no odor.
The handle of the sword was of wood,
which was enslly removed and which
gave no odor. The makers' names,
father and son, wore on the steel of
the handle.
“1 entertained a group of Sheffield
steel men at m„v home several years
ago and Just as a surprise for them I
bad the sword on the table. They were
boasting about what great steelmak
ers they were, snd then I asked them
to smell the sword. They were the
most surprised men you ever saw.
“'Steelmakers.' I said. 'There Is
some real art In making steel; let us
see yon equal that.' They could not, of
cOnrse.”
Mr. Valle said that there are bun
dretls of mechanical tricks of the Jap
anese artisans of hundreds of years
ago which have been lost. These men
have made many articles which can
not be duplicated with modern machin
ery.
"I have In my home a crystal ball six
Inches In diameter," he said. “It Is as
round ns a billiard ball; It will stand
any test for roundness. That was made
by band several hundred years ago. It
would be difficult to make It now with
machinery. If It 1s possible; but think
of the years of toll and tho special abil
ity required for a man to rub a block
of crystal Into a perfect sphere."
Mr. Valle said that old Japanese
princes kept hordes of men at work,
paying them fairly well. These men
had food and lodging assured for tho
rest of their lives, and they didn’t have
to hurry with their work.
He told of one cabinet started by one
man for the prince who employed him
but who failed to finish it. lie died
and the prince died. The son of the
artisan took up the work, expecting to
finish It for the sou of the former
prince. They both died, and the cabi
net was finally finished by the grand
son of the original cabinetmaker and
presented to the grandson of the orig
inal prince.
“There was one swordmaker who had
the trick of making a dagger with a
very hard steel point which gradually
grew softer toward the handle. He did
this by tnkiflg a dagger blade of uni
form hardness, packing Itln.qloy which
wbs thhjker toward the handle. In this
way -when he heated the pack the heat
was graded, being strong at the point
and soft near the handle.
"The secret lay in the temperature of
tho water he put It In after heating
It. No one could dlscovet\how hot the
water was or how long he kept the
mass In the water.
"So had several young men working
for him, and one of these men, a trick
ster, was anxious to learn the secret.
The old man prepared his bath In a
private tent One day he was coming
oit of the tent with a newly finished
sword under his arm wtjen the young
man darted past him and stuck his
hand In the water. ,
“The old man wheeled and struck
out with his sword. He cut so quickly
that he severed the young man’s arm
before the young man’s nerves could
convey any Idea of the temperature of
the water to his brain—or so they
say.”
One of the old swordmakers had the
peculiar knack of making swords
which, of themselves, continually
searched for trouble. “Blood drink
ers,” these swords were named. There
wns one of them In the Bowes collec
tion. which was sold In England seven
or eight years ago.
"One of my friends bought this
sword." said Mr. Valle. '“He was ex
plaining Its peculiar nature to some of
us. One of the men laughed at the
superstition. Just as he was In the
middle of a guffaw the sword slipped
out of Its sheath, the handle struck
the floor and the point fell against his
leg. He was severely cut I snw this,
and. while I myself don't a ach any
supernatural power to the sword, that
series of facts keeps me from laughing
at it”—New York Sun.
IMMIGRANTS AND MISSIONS
America has manifested an unpre
cedented ability to assimilate diverse
alien races. Nearly 40,000,000 of our
population are either Immigrants or
the children of foreign born parents.
Not all of these, however, are really
assimilated or Americanized.
The historic problem of the South
lms boon the Negro. The problem Is
real und great, fraught with even
more danger to the whites tliun to
the blacks, for the stronger race will
suffer more If It deals out Injustice to
tho w-ouk race, than the weak will if
It must aulTer Injustice. If we deal
unjustly with Negroes, our children
will deal unjustly with one another.
There Is no escape.
The religion of Jesus Christ and
not politics is the solvent of the race
problem. Christ has taught men the
one way In which we may touch weak
er groups tlmn our own without being
lowered to their level—the way Is by
helping and loving them.
Trying as Is the Negro problem,
there has been a compensation In It
for the South. The North has In the
hordes of onasslmllated. uii-American
ized aliens In her cities and factories,
a problem oven more trying and dan
gerous than the Negro problem. The
Negro is good-natured and not venge
ful; not so with many of the South-
European horde lately come to Amer
ica. The Negro race Is separate; the
European, however diverse from the
older groups from Northeast Europe,
which compose the American stock,
want It cheaper than Americans will
do It, and the Catholic churah. Thero
are Indications that the hierarchy,
which openly declares Its determina
tion to Romanize America, Is more In
fluential than all other forces In flood
ing this country with Immigrants. Mora
than sixty por cent, of them aro Ro
manists. Roman Catholics, who teach
that the pope lms final authority, con
cerning what Is rendered unto Caesar,
us well as unto God, are apparently
seeking to gain a dominant Influence
lu the American government. In the
American atmosphere they have nota
bly faded In winning converts; there
fore tholr Interest lu immigration. It
Is significant tlmt the hierarchy has
set Itself aguInHt the bill to restrict
Immigration, which has recently pass
ed the House of Representatives at
Washington, if the Soimte passes the
bill, great Interest will be felt In
whether President Wilson will sign It,
and his action cannot escape Interpre
tation based upon the known activity
of Romanist tnfiuences against the
proposed law.
There Is every reason why Christian
bodies should Christianize these new
comers. They are far more open to
sympathetic approach and freer from
prejudice than they would be In the
rooted environment of their father-
lands. They long for love and will
respond to.ktndness. Their Christian-
liatlon Is essential to their Americani
zation, If they remain here, and 1b
making the most valuable foreign mis
sionaries possible, If they return to
their -----
fifty
native home. To Christian!*** these

tian country would be to send across

America needs immigration to an ex- £ ~“‘ t ” waters" a““fo7efgn ''mission
tent, but In the face of 1,400,000 oUeos
who cams In the last fiscal yeac, and
as many more coming In the pres
ent year, it is time to remark that we
need fewer and better. How patriotic
statesmen can look undismayed and
with Beaming unconcern upon this
gate-open-to-all policy of the govern
ment many of the best citizens of this
country fall to understand.
Our country seems to liavo an opti
mism that is alarm-proof. While we
speak with cock-sure confidence about
our power to assimilate all sorts and
sizes and numbers, already the larg
est cities of the country are flooded
with tens of thousands of unasslmflat
ed fqrelgners, many of whom do not
even know the name of George Wash
ington or of Jefferson. They are ig
norant of our religion, of our Instltu
tions, of our traditions and ldoals
New England, rich in the lore of Puri
tan Father tradition. Is no longer elth
er Puritan or American. It has a for
eign citizenship and most of Its people
have a foreign religious faith. The
chief advocates of an unrestricted Im
migration are transportation compa
nies, large employers of labor, who
army that would shake the world.
While most of the forelgnars so far
are at the North, their Christianiza
tion and assimilation concerns South
ern people, for the fate of our coun
try Is one fate, and a corrupted! North
would vitiate Southern liberty and in
stitutions.
The South may thank God that the
Negro limits the coming of the Immi
grants In this direction. He is the
sandbank through which the cannoo-
ball is unable to penetrate. The Negro
is Protestant and religious. His faith
Is the faith of the Southern whites. We
should also thank God for the opportu
nity which we have of preaching the
gospel to the Immigrants. On every
account we ought to do It. It Is for
eign missions, picked up by world
movements which are In God's hands,
and put down before us at our very
doors.
The Home Mission Board of South
ern Batplsts, with offices In the Hea
ley Building at Atlanta, Georgia, has
forty-five mission workers among for
eigners In the South. It Is worthy of
liberal support in this great benefi
cence.

HOUSING THE CHURCHES
By the religious census of 1906 the
Presbyterians, Methodists and Bap
tists In the South have a total of
$88,000,000 In church property. The
Methodists In this report of the gov
ernment are credited with $37,000,000,
the Baptists with $36,000,000 and the
Presbyterians with $16,000,000. A larg
er relative number of the Baptists and
Methodists are in the country as com
pared with the Presbyterians, and
therefore the average value of tho
Presbyterian church buildings ($7,000)
Is greate# than that of the Baptists
($1,800) br of the Methodists ($2,300).
The figures above are the last availa
ble, but the church property In the
South of these three bodies alone Is
now much above $100,000,000 In value,
while other religious bodies would
largely increase the total.
It is said by experts in religious
work that the way to keep a church
growing Is to keep It In debt. As a
matter of fact ordinary commercial
principles do not move men In relig
ious activities. The mainspring of com
merce Is gain. The mainspring of
church business Is conscience and the
desire to do good. Most peple do more
when the need Is thrust upon their at
tention as a direct and urgent appeal.
Notwithstanding all this wealth In
religious plants, the average value of
church houses In local communities Is
small. In rural districts perhaps $1,-
200 Is more than the average value
of the house which men dedicate to
the worship of God and to the service
of the deepest human needs. In faot,
far more communities are suffering
from niggardliness In equipping
churches with comfortable and ade
quate workshops, tor the Master than
are suffering from too much money
spent In vain architectural display.
It is also true that there are hun
dreds of'communities In the South In
which there is no house of worship.
Equally startling la the demonstrated
fact that there axe thousands of or
ganized churches which have no build
ing at all, but are limping along meet
ing In sawmill sheds, brush harbors,
school houses, private residences, etc.
It goes without saying that no such
church ha’s any fair prospect of being
able to impress Itself upon Us com
mnnlty with permanency and effect.
A survey has recently been made by
the Baptist Home Mission Board of
Atlanta, Georgia, which shows that
Southern Baptists alone have 3,600 un
housed churches and 3,600 more so In
adequately housed as to badly need
the stimulus of outside aid In erect
ing an adequate plant. Most of these
unhoused and needy churches are In
the Southwest, where the population
Influx has been rapid and where the
Institutions of society have not yet
had time firmly to establish- them
selveB. But even the older states of
the South Atlantic region show great
lack.
To meet this need the Baptists of
the South are raising a mllllon-dollar
Church Building Loan Fund. This
largo sum will be loaned at small In
terest for a period of years to needy
churches to help to build houses of
worship. Thero Is no benevolence
which will commend itself more to
thoughtful people who want to put
some money Into a great fund which
will be Inviolate and permanent In the
one work of establishing lighthouses of
faith In needy communities all over
the land. Texan alone Is raising $250,-
006 for this fupd, and Georgia Baptists
have determined to give largely to It
WORK AND IDEALS tf A
HOME MISSION BOARD
One of the largest nnd inoBt povvpr :
ful religions ngcuclos tlmt serves the
cause of Christianity in the South, Is
tho Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention, with
offices lu tho Henley Building, at At
lanta, Gn.
The field of action of this Board ex
tends from .Maryland to New Mexico,
embracing Southern UllnolH and all of
the South. The Board also lms in
Cuba and tho Canal Zone, Panama,
about forty missionaries and as many
churches. Altogether It maintains
wholly or In part 1,500 missionaries
and workers, at a cost of approximate
ly $460,000. This mlsslq£ work in the
South by the Baptists la In addition
to the $660,000 raised in the various
states for purely state Mission work,
making a total of $1,000,000 a year
expended by Southern BaptWta In mis
sion effort In the South.
The work of the Baptist Home Mis
sion Board embraces Go-operative Mis
sions In various elates with 1,300 mis
sionaries; an Evangelistic Department
with twenty-five evangeUeta; ,a- Coun
try Church Department with twenty
field workers (la the first year of Its
work); a Mountain Mission School
teachers, Uilrty-
and a prop*
erty worth $600,000; an Indian Depart
ment, with twenty mtsalanarloe; a For
eigner Department with forty-five mle,
slonarles; a Church Building Depart
ment, which Is now raining a $1,000,-
000 Church Building Loan Fund; a
Negro Department with forty mission
aries, and a Publicity Department,
which distributes yearly about IV
000,000 of free tract literature, be
sides as much more material through
its monthly mission magazine. The
Home Field, and through books and
newspapers.
The fiscal year of tho Board endb
on April 31, and more than $300,000
must be raised before then to enable
it to pay for tho great activities which
this agency conducts for a Southern
religious body. Baptist churches
quite generaly make special contribu
tions to Home Missions Hi March and
April. Tho quota to bo raised In Geor
gia la $60,000. The Baptist churches
will In the next few weeks give great
attention to meeting their apportion
ment te this great and Buecessful be
neficence.
One of the strongest Incentives on
the part of onr churches to liberality
la supporting Home Misstons, aside
from the good it does In making men
and society better and buDdlng up
not only a hope for the future life,
bat a life here that 1b clean and pure—
Is that the Impact of our American
life on other nations niny not give tho
-lie to the words of our foreign mis
sionaries. There is an Incongruity In
sending American missionaries and
American rum on the same ship to
Africa. And whon Chinese point to
corrupt American politics, corrupt cit
ies, and an Industrialism which grinds
up human hope and life in Its wheals
as evidence that Christianity does not
really save a nation, the missionary
is up against one of the most dam
aging deterrents to the force of his
message.
Then, too, Home Missions through
the 300,000 foreigners who return from
our country annually to their oWn
lands, haB the opportunity, if It will
reach these people with our religion,
•to send 300,000 missionaries a year to
preach the gospel of Christ to the ends
of the earth. These win go at their
r>wn charges and without Balary, and
will understand their people better
than our missionaries can hope to un
derstand them. Certainly Foreign Mis
sions has a right to expect that Amer
ican churches will so support Home
Missions that the Impact of America
shall confirm and strengthen them in
stead of weakening them.
Modern Industrialism has greatly in
tensified our Southern life. The good
old days are gone. The South has
been great enough out of ashes, and
with a minimum of outside aid, which
has been more than counterbalanced
by outside encroachments, to rebuild
her lost fortune and to forge to the
front as a part of the nation. Our
great wealth Is becoming greater dally.
Will the men who were strong enough
to conquer almost unparalleled misfor
tunes—will they and thalr children be
great enough to conquer their wealth,
so as to use It for God and righteous
ness, Instead of letting It use them
In Indulgence and pleasure? This la
a question Southern manhood of to
day has not yet answered. The crux
of Home Mission Ideal today Is to
help the South answer this question
In the fear and service of God.
