Gepyrlgtit, 1913, by International News Service HUFF CSSt TO OF £ v / / 1 A’ 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. . i't.-.UmwA u;1 WA5HiN5na* 4 t k ^ A.v'7y - \ ^ i y'< * v 'k*- / 't/t ‘ . iv % 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.

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.
