Report Thursday Will Show How
‘Greatest Trouble Maker in History’
Stirred Social Unrest and Helped
Heathen Nations to Better Things.
By REV. CHARLES STELZI.E,
Tim foreign mission board of the Northern Presbyterian As
sembly will report on Thursday morning that the total appropria
tions and disbursements last year amounted to nearly $2,000,000.
The tine thing about tiie se
•uring and spending of this vast
sum is that it stands for the
democracy of the human race.
it means that the ties of human
love and sympathy have bound to
gether the peoples of every race. In
>pile of inequalities in- mental and
physical endowment, this work means
that the spirit of real brotherhood has
girdled the earth.
It is a far cry from that little sew
ing circle back in the country church,
made up of sincere, tender-hearted
women who worked diligently on
Friday afternoons, sometimes with
the babies comfortably tucked away
on one of the church pews, in order
to supply the “heathen" with com
fortable garments, to the great for
eign mission boards which annually
spend millions of dollars for work
among the backward races.
Close Relation Between Them.
Rut there is a mighty dose rela
tion between the two—more than
either <*f them sometimes suspect.
For here the women learned of the
great human proems of the people
for whom they worked and often sac
rificed.* It was here that the “mis
sionary talks" gave them a glimpse of 1
the n'*eds of men and women and
children, the picture being hung in
the halls of their memory, to be
viewed anew as each fresh reminder
told them of the sufferings of a be
nighted people. And when wealth in
creased they gave more generously to
help in the great task of “evangeliz
ing" the folks who had become to
, lbem real human beings, instead of
mere myths.
These great sums spent for mission
vyork come mostly from comparative
ly poor people. Sometimes a gener
ous man or woman of wealth con
tributes a large sum. but in the main of this
the money is secured from those who
Have learned from the pinch of pov
erty what it means to go without
the necessities of life, to say nothing
about its*luxuries.
Mission Boards Roused China.
When China awoke the mission
board became busy. Indeed, it was
because the mission boards of the
World had been busy that China
tivvoke.
r The church is the greatest trouble
maker in history, it is not organized
to keep down social unrest. The chief
business of the church is to create
social unrest. Its missionaries go to
a country where the people have long
been satisfied with low physical, men
tal and moral ideals.
The missionaries point out these
low ideals and then show them the
possibilities of a life lived with the
Christian ideal constantly before it.
As they catch something of a vision
of what this way means to them,
there comes to them a spirit of social
unrest which will not be satisfied un
til it breaks the bands which bound
them through many a century.
Turns World Upsid: Down.
This lias been the history of the
church in every generation. Even the
earliest disciples of the Nazarene
were accused of preaching a gospel
Which was “turning the world upside
down.”
Just this- has happened in Chinn.
' With a view to meeting this new sit
uation. the last General Assemo..’
voted to send out 100 extra mission
aries. and the foreign board was au
thorized to raise an emergency fund
for this purpose. Three hundred thou
sand dollar- 1 has been raised for this
purpose during the year. It was esti
mated at the beginning of the year
that the receipts from churches. 'wom
en's societies, Sunday schools and
. young people’s societies would amount
* to $1,300,000. There was received from
these sources $1,234,698.42, showing
a deficit of $65,301.58. The increased
appropriations were made necessary
by the expansion of the work.
Gifts Set New Record.
The total amount received from the
churches during the year, which is the
stable source of income, was $706,-
251.1*6. This is $12,695.83 more than
has ever been received from this
source in its 7§ years of history, in
1003 the board received from the
.churches only $349,185.78, in 1913
$706,251.16: thus the receipts from
this source alone have more than
doubled in the ten years. Receipts
10.3.82. being an increase of $11,165
over the previous year.
To the above amounts should he
added the receipts on the field from
native sources, such as educational
medical and evangelistic work, the
sum of $501,192.
The investment securities of the
board purchased and acquired during
the past year amounted to nearly
*$500,000, making the total net amount
of securities owned by the board at
the present time $2,950,909.40.
The board has^sent out during the.
year to the foreign field 89 new mis
sionaries. The total number of mb -
r-ionaries now engaged in the work of! — „ - T ^
t>^ b.~rd on the foreign fi- d is 1.157. | White City Pai’K NOW Opeil
to this must be added 315 native i 1
preachers and 4.970 other native help
ers The communicant membership!
of the native church is 122.000. To
this should be added 69,770 who have!
confessed Christ and are under in-l
si ruction preparatory to being re -4
reived into full communion in the!
church.
Aids Thousands to Health.
The board has upder its care 7
hospitals and 118 dispensaries. Pa
tients ‘treated, 456,658.
There are nine pr sses in the mis
sions. under the care of the board, one
in China, one in Mexico, two in Per
sia. one in the Philippne Islands, one
in Siam, one in Laos, one in Guate
mala, and one in Syria. These presses
printed 155,773,673 pages last yea”.
From the beginning the number of
pages printed has been 1,232,855.985.
Under the care of the board, in
non-Christian lands there are about
1,800 educational institutions, from
the village school in Africa and the
kindergarten in Japan* to great in
stitutions like the Shantung Univer
sity at Weihsfen, China, or the Sil-
liman Institute at Dumaguete, P. T.,
or the Forman Christian College at
Lahore, India, one of the leading edu
cational institutions in the Punjab.
More than 100,000 pupils, hoarding
and day. receive instruction in these
various schools of learning.
The revolution in Mexico and the
disturbed’ condition in the Turkish
Empire and the changes growing nil
of the relations of Russia and Great
Britain in Persia have interfered
somewhat with the work in these
lands. The arrest, trial and convic
tion of more than 100 Korean Chris
tian leaders, most of whom were
members of the Presbyterian
Churches, caused no little anxiety to
the board and interfered somewhat
with mission activities in Kor . .
However. 99 of the 105 convicted
Koreans have now been acquitted, to
the great joy of thousands of Korean
Christians.
Arrests Fail to Hinder.
Notwithstanding the anxiety ana
unrest caused by these trials of the
Korean Christians, there were added*
to the churches ip Korea under care
of the boar 6,400 communicants, an i
at the present tiipe there are 22,503
catechumens under instruction, ready
to be received into full membership
after due examination.
The first General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in Korea was
organized in September. 1912. the As
sembly consisting of Australian.
Canadian, Southern and Northern
Presbyteries. fme -of the‘last* acts
Assembly was to pass a reso
lution authorizing the raising of
$1,000 to send two missionaries to
the Province of Shantung, China, to
help evangelize the Chinese'.
The great political changes whicn
took place in China during th* year
gave a new* impetus to mission work.
It is suggestiv e that there were add id
to the membership, in connection with
the seven missions in china under
care of the board 2,400 members
The schools and churches have been
crowded, with pupils, and many thou
sands have listened eagerly to th-
Gospel message.
Recognized in Japan.
One of the striking events was the
calling of a conference by the Vice
Minister of Education of Japan. He
invited all the Christian leaders to
meet with the leading Shintoists and
Buddhists to ci-nff * how best to con
serve the morals of the Japanese peo
ple. This was the first official recog
nition on the part of the government
of Japan of Christianity as one of the
religions of the state.
In connection with the Church of
Christ in Japan. with which our
Presbyterian Churches are affliaUd,
there are now 66 independent self-
supporting congregations, with 127
mission churches, and 55 additional
preaching places conducted by those
who are recognized as affiliated with
the Church of Christ. The number of
church members is 22,000, and then
are nearly 1 4,000 Sunday school pupils
in the various schools.
It Is worthy of note that the* Jap
anese Christians connected , with the
churches in the United States under
care of the board contributed during
the last year some $11,000. this being
double tb<- amount spent by the board
in connection with the work for th<
Japanese in (he United States.

Judge Grubb Overrules Demur
rer and Gives Construction on
Contempt Question.
MACON. GA.. May 21. -Th.- trial of
Colonel* W. A. Huff for contempt will
begin strictly on its merits late this
afternoon. It is expected that Judge
Emory Speer, against whom th*- con
tempt is alleged U) have been com
mitted, will be the first witness for the
Government.
Judge' \Y. !. Grubb overruled the
demurrer of the defense tills morning
and ordered the trial to proceed. In
making this decision, Judge Grubb
said:
“A judge after he leaves the court
house is as an individual, no more
than any other man.
“A Jtidge Is not exempt from per
sonal criticism if that criticism is not
intended, and does not possess a ten
dency to Influence a decision of the
court Or otherwise obstruct or defeat
Mie ends of justice; If the criticism
is directed fo the judge as a man,
and affects him only as a man. no
matter how severe or abusive th**
criticism, it Is not contempt of court.”
The point was as to whether an
abusive letter sent to the Judge at his
residence was a contempt committed
“in presence of the court or so near
thereto as to obstruct the administra
tion of justice."
When court converted this morning
at 9:36 o’clock, vVlth hundreds of per
sons in attendance, arguments were
renewed on the point of law as to
whether the sending of the letter to
the Judge at his residence constitutes
contempt of court, granting that the
letter oidinarily is contempt matter.
Attorney T. S. Felder, representing
tile aged defendant, had already ar
gued that a contempt was not eom-
.niitted by sending tlie communii ation
to Judge Speer at 'his home, and the
special prosecuting attorney. O. I>.
Street, of Birmingham, replied.
Judge Grubb had previously heir!
that a judge at home and the
judge at court are distinct entities,
but it is argued by the Government
that the letter deals nut only with the
judge as a man. but as a judge, and
also threatens him and abusVs the* of
ficers* of the court.
It probable that to-dnv tin* other
letter sent Judge Spe.-v by < V. •»n. (
Huff last year, and which was' so
vitriolic and personal that the Judge
did not introduce it in court, will now
be put in the records. In that event
it .will be open to publication. This
letter is addressed “To wflom it may
concern.”

PAR]#, May 21. After the brilliant
colors In vogue till now. the lt ap-
I pearance of numerous gowns of soft
shades, such as Nattier blue and pale
lemon, which enjoyed popularity last
season, are proving a welcome feature
of the fashion display at Longchamps.
A distinct characteristic of the
summer mode appears in trans
parent bodices, generally made of the
thinnest mousseline do sole, the only
opaque material used being a silk
sash around the waist. The rest, the
sleeves Included, is absolutely trans
parent in some cases so much so as
to indicate a wish on the part of the
wearer to outdo the most daring
fashion***!' the direCtoiro period. Rose-
tinted tulle bodices with very short
sleeves are exceedingly popular.
Fashion experts predict that their
vogue will-Increase as the season ad
vances.
The mania for the new silhouette is
showing . ru>. sign of abating. The
draping* of skirts is more confined,
bringing the fullness from the hips to
the fropt. so to epnphasize the
straight line and give the “1913
stylish droop." The lower part of the
skirt is now left quite plain, clinging
closely to the figure.
The movement in favor to lower
heels setms to be making headway.
Very few* of the fancy Louis XVI.
jeweled or lacquered heels, which
caused a sensation by their extraordi
nary height early in the season, were
seen. At the same time the classic
cothurni or buskins, laced high on the
leg, are more fashionable now.
