The Place That Missions Should Have in Our Thonghts and Affections. Madam President, officers, members and friends of the Missouri Branch Women's Mite Missionary Society:— The place that missions should have in our thoughts and affections" is a subject that should receive our very deepest thoughts and share much of our time. A general call to Evangelism is made by Isiah in the 46th chapter, 9-11 verses. He prophesied about 750 years before the coming of Christ, in the following language. "O Zion that bringest good tidings, get the into the highest mountains;" "O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings lift up thy voice with strength,—lift it up;" "Be not afraid." Sav unto the cities of Judah behold your God, Behold the Lord God will come with strong hand and his arm shall rule for him behold, his reward is with him, and his works before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd he shall gather the lambs with his arms, and carry them in his bosom shall gently lead those that are with young. Then according to Isaiah's prophecy the Lord did come as was spoken of him with full authority, as is recorded. And in our Lord's Gospel by St. Matthew 28-28-20. After his resurrection he spoke unto his disciples saying;—"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth Go, ye therefore and teach all nations baptising them in the name of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you alway even unto the end of the world. Amen. Herein the Saviour makes the thought of Mission his first thought; and being actively and faithfully carried out, it is the very condition and the pledge of his presence and effectual working with the disciples and the church. It is plainly to be seen that the Missionary Spirit or enterprise should not be the church's after thought; when it is Christ's forethought. It should not be secondary and optional with men and women but with every man and woman who professes to know Christ and follow him him as their Savior, the thought of Missions should be primary and vital; for Christ has put it in the heart of His Gospel. And for this reason the Spirit Missions has always been the saving and purifying power of Christian brotherhood. It carries with it the thought, 1st Of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; or "Thou shalt love thy God Supremely, and thy neighbor as thyself. This brings cleat to the minds of every Christian his or her duty, or the place missions should have in our thoughts. God is first and thy neighbor second or as thyself. Then let us notice the original and sole Master Missionary who is our Lord Jesus Christ; and who is our Lord of His kingdom. He has put his own divine commission upon his followers. It is "come and go": two commands in one. "Come learn of me"; and "Go preach my gospel" His first command to his disciple was, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." His last command is 'Go ye and many disciples of all nations and as he was sent or come into the world of mission to save sinners or bring good and glad springs unto all people seven so that we sent as the disciples were sent and the commission is identically the same to day. It is in virtue of that final command and according to our fulfillment of the final promise, a promise made to a militant, Missionary Church, but not to a church that is at ease in Zion. But just so far as his church accepts her responsibility for teaching all nations to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded her. I say if she obeys this command by and by she will hear the voice of Him to whom all authority has been given in heaven and on earth, saying, lo "I am with you always even unto the end of the world." Thus, Mrs. Chairman, Christ is at once authority and pattern inspirer and organizer, author and end of missions, and apart from him we can teach all men to do all things, which he has commanded us: Then so long as the church is faithful to her mission as the bearer of good tidings about God to men. She will be prosperous and powerful in the redemption of the world for Christ. Therefore our whole mind is described in God's word to evangelize and teach all nations or preach the Gospel to every creature. We are to tell of the good tidings of the Gospel of Christ. Our thoughts must have a place in our hearts and out of the very depth for the prosperity of missions and the redemption of the Souls of men and women. We must not only think but labor and pray for the advancement of the kingdom of our God. Labor until his Gospel shall be heard by every creature; but how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things Romans 10-11-12 verses. Oh, Brethern, Brethern, christian men and women. How shall the unsaved be saved? You tell me by hearing the Gospel "But how shall they hear with out a preacher?" And you say the Preacher must go into all the world and preach the Gospel. But how shall he go except he be sent? O. Brethren, learn your highest vocation and your solemn responsibility. For what do you receive the word of God? For the same reason for which you have received every thing else, which you possess—that you might share it with brethren. How did you receive it? It was a Gift, unmerited, that you might feel bound to Spread the free divine gift by cheerful human work of distribution. From whom did you receive it? You received it from Christ who in the very act of giving Himself for our redemption, binds us not only a few hours of our time, or to labor amid the flowers and sunshine of Spring and Summer, give our influence, our time, our labor, and if we can not go we must send others by giving our money. My brothers and my sisters you have already sent men and women far and near, at home and abroad and the results can now be seen. For mountains of ignorance and error are dwindling away. Paths M.

THE NEW SOUTHERN STAT. SMANSHIP. RY STANNARD BAKER IN THE AUGUST NUMBER OF THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE SUBMITS SOME FACTS OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. NEW WORLD IDEA OF EDUCATION The idea of Hampton is the new world idea of education, and white people in the South, and in the North as well are now applying it everywhere in their educational movements. Agricultural and industrial schools for white boys and girls are spreading throughout the South; schools to teach work, just as Hampton teacher it. Only last year the state of Georgia provided for eleven new agricultural schools in various parts of the state, and there is already talk in the South as in the North, of agricultural training in high schools. These men, white and black, who are educated for democratic service will in time become masters of the state. The new leaders, then, of whom I have spoken, do not oppose Negro education; they favor it and will go forward steadily with the task of bringing it about. So far, the Negro public schools have felt little of the new impulse in some states and localities, as I have shown in other articles, the Negro schools have actually retroceded, where the white schools have been improving rapidly. But that is the continuing influence of the old leadership; the new men have not yet come fully into their own. I could quote indefinitely from the real statesmen of the South re Phone: Bell 1452.

Senator Lamar of Mississippi once said: "The problem of race, in a large part, is a problem of illiteracy. Most of the evils which have grown up out of the problem have arisen from a condition ignorance, prejudice and superstition. Remove those and the simpler elements of the question will come in to play,..... I will go with those who will go farthest in this matter." No higher note has been struck in educational ideals than in the Declaration of Principles adopted last winter 1907 at the meeting of the Southern Educational Association at Lexington, Kentucky, an exclusively Southern gathering of white men and women. Their resolutions, which for lack of space cannot be here printed in full, should be read by every man and woman in the country who is interested in the future of democratic institutions. I copy here only a few of the declarations: 1. All children, regardless of race, creed, sex, or the social station or economic condition of their parents, have equal right to, and should have equal opportunity for such education as will develop to the fullest possible degree all that is best in their individual natures and fit them for the duties of life and citizenship in the age and community in which they live.

Anamosa, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR ASSEMBLYMAN. 2. To secure this right and provide this opportunity to all children is the first and highest duty of the modern Democratic State, and the highest economic wisdom of an industrial age and community. Without universal education of the highest and best type, there can be no real democracy, either political or social; nor can agriculture, manufactures, or commerce ever attain their highest development. 3 Education in all grades and in all legitimate directions being for the public good, the public should bear the burden of it. The most just taxes levied by the State, or with the authority of the State by any other political division, are those levied for the support of education. No expenditure can possibly produce greater returns and none should be more liberal. THE NEW SOUTH ON NEGRO EDUCATION Concerning Negro education, I am publishing the resolutions in ful, because they voice the present thought of the best leadership in the South: 1. We endorse the accepted policy of the states of the South in providing educational facilities for the youth of the Negro race believing that whatever the ulti G. W. A REPUBLICAN NOMINEE mate solution of this grievous problem may be, education must be an important factor in that solution. 2. We believe that the education of the Negro in the elementary branches of education should be made thorough,and should include specific instruction in hygiene and home sanitation, for the better protection of both races. 3. We believe that in the secondary education of Negro youth, emphasis should be placed upon agriculture and the industrial occupations, including nurse training domestic science and hone economics. 4. We believe that for practical, economical and psychological reasons, Negro teachers should be provided for Negro schools. 5. We advise instruction in normal schools and normal institutions by white teachers, whenever possible, and closer supervision of courses of study and methods of teaching in Negro Normal Schools by the State Department of Education. 6. We recommend that in urban and rural Negro schools there should be closer and more thoro supervision, not only by city and county superintendents, but also by directors of music, drawing, manual training, and other special topics. 7. We urge upon school authorities everywhere the importance of adequate buildings, comfortable seating, and sanitary accommodations for Negroouth. 8. We deplore the isolation of many Negro schools, established through moves of philanthropy, from the life and the symyathies of the communities in which they are located. We recommend the supervision of all such schools by the State, and urge that their work and their methods be adjusted to the civilization in which they exist, in order that the maximum good of the race and of the community may be thereby attained. 9. On account of economic and psychological differences in the two races, we believe that there should be a difference in courses of study and methods of teaching and that there should be such an adjustment of school curricula as shall meet the evident needs of Negro youth. 10. We insist upon such an equitable distribution of the school funds that all the youth of the Negro race shall have at least an opportunity to receive the elementary education provided by the State, and in the administration of State laws, and in the execution of this educational policy Anamosa, E FOR ASSEMBLYMAN. we urge patience, toleration, and justice.

To see Chicago at play one must go to Biverview. Great cities are attractive in gay moods and "the metropolis on the lake and the marina when disporting itself in the wonders of the world." The Roman hippodrome cannot be compared with this great park, either in magnitude, fabulous investment or attire. Frequently 250,000 men, women and children are within the enclosure of the vast and beautiful resort. Instantly one can see the magnificent memory of the gate and till he emerges, the tuffed, bewildered, entranced. Broad vistas lead everywhere to turreted pavilions, circuses, theaters, ballets, "Streets of the City," theaters, chutes, cascades, electric launches, miniature railways, "Wild West Shows," aerial coasters, menageries, Japanese pagodas and air concerts by the world's finest bands. A riverview is a festival city, with its chimes of bells, peals of organs, roar of trains, cooling swish of waters, dashing of foaming lakes, boat whistles, stringed instruments, "tom-toms," euphonies of bagpipes, chanting of Indians, hymnals of riffles and crash of artillery, roaring of lions, vocalizations of a million birds and animals, jubilee singing, shouts and laughter, and sounding above all, the tactile strains of Bohumir Kryl's great band. Its Chutes cascades, 500 feet in midair, spray crystal waters in continuous clouds, spraying a cloud of mist, dashing downward until they skim the surface of the lake, lashing its transparent water into foam, and the clouds of mist, the sanguine sengers accompany the musical murmur of the falling cascades.

A Timely Discovery A Timely Discovery There is one grave danger that the schoolboy who works is apt to encounter, sometimes with disastrous results to his school work. His wages look mighty good to him. Balanced in the scale of learning, the money seems a bigger thing than the less tangible results of study. As he grows older, he is very apt to feel that going to school is a foolish waste of time that earning money is by far the more profitable occupation. Boys, much more than girls, are too inclined to leave school long before their teachers and parents consider them sufficiently equipped with knowledge. The graduating class of any high school bears witness to this fact. In almost every instance the boys are largely outnumbered by the graduating girls, though, during the past five years, matters have somewhat improved in this respect, owing to greater effort on the part of teachers to hold the boys. One ambitions lad, with some little knowledge of drafting, having accepted a position as a mining engineer's assistant rather late in August, flatty declined to give up his forty-five dollars a month at the beginning of the school team. Those forty-five dollars looked very large indeed to a boy who had never before earned more than three dollars a week.

SEDALIA, MISSOURI labor, however, this rather thorough boy awoke to a realizing sense of his own ignorance. In school, he had looked with youthful scor upon geometry and physics, geology and chemistry. But now he made a discovery. He found that he needed them all in his work in the mines, since he aimed to be something more than a common miner. Thereupon, he voluntarily gave up his position and returned to school, where he studied as he never studied before. He had discovered in time that there were still lessons to learn—all boys that leave school too soon make this discovery at one time or another, but, unfortunately, ninety-nine times cut of a hundred the discovery comes too late. In this instance, it came in the nick of time. The boy graduated not only from high-school but from a mining college. When he was again ready for a position at the mines, he started in with a salary of twelve hundred dollars a year because what he had learned made him worth it. The lad who had succeeded him at his first job, and who had remained steadfastly with it was now getting only fifty dollars a month. And will probate he never much better than that.

The Lord God, Omnipotent What Is The Aim,of The Missionary Society? The missionary work is one of importance and to understand it we should it is necessary for us to live in close touch with it. The aim of missionary work is to change the desires of those who do not realize the necessity of becoming acquainted with such things. The missionary represents. There are many kinds of missions for us to engage in. The greatest mission field is that of satan. The missionaries in this field represent all kinds of sickness and broad is the road that passes through it and many travelers are found there. But today we are striving to represent a different mission than the one that recognizes wickedness of all kinds and varieties. The straight and narrow path leads through the true mission field but few are found walking therein. What is the aim of the missionary society? The aim of the missionary society is to point those who do not know, to the Lamb of God Who taketh away the sins of the world. Another aim of the missionary society is to persuade those who are reveling in wickedness to no longer be a drunkard, a gambler, a liar or anything else that is pleasing to satan. Many people believe that missionary work should only be done in the tropical regions of Africa, in the jungles of India or on the tropical isles of the mid-oceans. Oh! what a mistake. Here in our country, whose citizens boast of Christian morality and all manner of civic righteousness, we greatly need the influence of the true missionary. In our larger cities and towns, where a church is found in almost every square, where the church steeps upon them to say, "We point you to the Great Jehovah." "Love! Be believe and live." Yes, here at our homes is a demand for missionary work, because it will reach all who feel that they are not properly attired to attend church or fear that they can not afford to pay church dues and many other things, real or imaginary, that keep them away. They will stop so they pass by and while a sergeant is preached, a prayer is swoked or a hymn chanted by a salvationist they may be caused to think that Christ died for the vilest of sinners and why not for me. A still small voice will follow them and persuade them until they fully realize their condition. Then will confess, profess and what is best of all possess an abiding and lasting hope. Still another purpose of the missionary society is to better the condition of the poor heathen. Let him be found wherever he may on this earth, he must be saved. We have long ago learned if a man or woman who possesses Christian inclinations are right most all other desires will be all right. Those who worship idols of wood and stone and animals of various kinds need the influence and protection of the true Missionary Societies. It not only calls for a sacrifice of money to accomplish the desired result we mentioned, the poor heathen who worships idols. The question naturally arises in our minds have we heathens in this christianized country of ours? If not heathens in one sense of the word we certainly have idol worshippers. It may not be the inanaimate wood or stone, the golden calf or the brute with mere instinct, yet the omination in such things as are only cherished by some who may beat this time our associates, is greater than what we find in wood or stone. The young lady who would become a christian if it did not make her pleasure less. The young lady who does not want to give up the world's pleasure to be found in the ball room where the music causes her to feel as if she is enjoying all the pleasures of paradise is a heathen in one sense of the word and she is an idol worshipper. The young man, who says, "Oh if I become a christian I will loose all my pleasures; yes the church and living a christian is well enough for the old and aged ones but Jam too young, I have not seen enough pleasure." What is he but an idol worshipper? I will now in conclusion say the aim of the Missionary Society is to better the condition of mankind in general and I hope whenever it is organized it will continue its good work and that new organizations will be established in different sections of the State. -MAYME BROWN, JEFF.

A white parson who resides in old Ben Tillman's state, recently wrote a letter to a respectable colored girl, and she, in turn, handed the letter to the editor of the white paper, and its contents were published. The parson naturally denied the authorship, and to make his bluff strong, he sued the paper for libel, but a jury quickly rendered a verdict against the parson. At the trial it was shown that the parson had been a persistent masher of the girl, but his advances were spurned. The occurrence is the sensation of the hour. This is one of the thousand cases that are transpiring in the South, where Negro social equality is railed against the loudest.—Ex.

A HOME FOR INCORRIGIBLE GIRLS. WAYWARD GIRLS SHOULD BE PROTECTDD. Sedalia a Good Place for Such An Institution.—To Set Up a Clamor to The Legis- lature.-Good White Men. Favor The Idea Much. We feel the need of a home for incorrigible Negro girls in the state. Much has been said along this line, but nothing of consequence done. It is true that the Missouri legislature made provision for such an institution at its last meeting, but for some can care or other the law has never been enforced, and we are still without the home. So we, as a mouthpiece of the race, having everything pertaining to its interest at heart, feel called upon to advocate this cause and insist upon such an establishment until the work is accomplished and the unfortunate or wayward colored girls of Missouri are safely protected and sheltered within its walls. It is for the sake of humanity as well as the good of the race that we urge this. If the Chillicothe institution is full and the increase of criminal or wayward girls among the whites has become so great that RIDER AGENT IN EAGAN TOWN and district to ride and exhibit bicycles furnished by us.

The reform school is at Boonville and Negro boys are well cared for there. But we feel that the girls should be protected and trained, morally and industriously and otherwise, as well as the boys. We hope to hear a prolonged and loud cry in behalf of this worthy cause. If the clamor is continuous and sufficiently strong such a movement can be gotten on foot at our next legislature. And we are quite sure that the good white citizen of the state will support us. We should see to it that prominent men seeking nomination and election at the hands of the people are in favor of the idea and will lend their influence and vote, wherever it is possible, to bring about the desired result. Let us set up a clamor for an Industrial Home for Incorrigible Girls in the state of Missouri, and we will get it. K. C, Signal. The Child's Right to Individuality The child has a right to his individuality; to be himself and no other. No two children are alike. No father, mother, or instructor, should try to have this otherwise. The older ones should try to underst'd the fact for which the child stands, and interpret those conditions, rather than strive to turn it into other ways. If the originality of the child is changed, either gradually by education or suddenly by will power, who can tell whether the life so warped will fulfil its mission? Who has the right to change what is of divine origin? Nature loves surprises, and will not guarantee that the children of her poets shall sing, or that every Quaker baby shall be born to the drab or wear a broad hat. You cannot make a musician out of a born mechanic nor a mechanic out of a born musician. In the very naming of a child the matter of his individuality should be recognized. He should not necessarily be named after some ancestor long gone to his rest, or made to stand in the shoes of Napoleon Bodaparte when he loves not war, or be a Julius Caesar while clerking in a country store. Why not a name standing for history yet to be written? ```markdown ``` Every child has a right to ask questions and be fairly answered In this way he gets his education. Don't treat questions as if they were impertinence, or a matter of small moment whether the correct answers are given or not. It is most important that the desire for information bn fostered, and that a true impression be made. —(Thomas Lloyd.) Mothers Magazine
