Dr. Faunce's own observations at nu other. side of the world over a year before the war began. Globes Better Than Maps. He spoke: of the superiority of using a globe rather than maps. ' We believe ‘what we live in and when we see that other peoplés live in the same globe it tends to develop the international mind. The flat maps do Dot do this as they are on different pages and of different scales. For 40 million people the map of France comes first—not the state of ne, as one man thought in every geography it should. For other millions Russia comes first, or India or China. This world consciousness is impor- tant and globes should be in every chufch and school. The war is. com- pelling people to think about the other places on the globe as never be- fere. The papers are having to give us news from all the capitals. For- merly it was difficult to get any foreign news in this country or, when one was And what one did find one was shamed of, as only.the outre, degrading, dis- cordant ~items were published then “Apythiug ‘we can.do to spread jmews is-a—help. The ends of/the earth ‘are drawing together today physically and there will be disastrous results if they do not also do this soclally and spiritually. The prodiem is to match this’physi- cal contact .with spiritual understand- ing and sympathy. The former makes the journey to the Orient today an easy and comfortable one. i No Hotels in In Thére are fine hotels everywhere ex- c=pt in India. Here the English enter- tain in their homes or at their club and do not patronize hotels. There is a hotel in Calcutta which is a combi- pation of ostentatiousness and misery. In traveling, every man looks for ‘the the thing he is most interested in and so, though the temples are beauulgul Dr. as monuments of a ruined past, Faunce was more interested ein the creation of the future, in the schools ;ba.t are creating the world that is to e. Three Classes of Schools. These are of three classes—the na- tive schools which have changed for centuries, the mission schools, and the government schools. Here shows the chasm between the east and west. It was not there in Pzul's day or in Roman times, but has been ever since the days of Mo- med. been un- Educational Contrast. In the east, education is devoted to maintaining things as they are, to pre- serving the status quo, to adapting oneself to one's environment. In the west, education strives to make things as.they should be, teaches to over- come environment and equip one to solve the problems of the future. This contrast presses upon you everywhere in the Orient. Vociferous Learners in Egynt. The native country schools in Egypt | are mud huts with one door and one | window. They can easily be found| from their uproar. The teacher sits | on & mat in the center. The brignt faced boys—never a girl—sitting around him .on their mats, have each & reed pen, a sheet of tin -and some purple ink. Each writes the separate task assigned him, then memorizes it by shouting aloud, at the same time swaying back and forth. These tasks are pasasges from the Koran. Nothing i else is-ever taught. The chief reason is that memorizing the Koran exempts one from military service. Mothers even mutilate their children to avoid military service. The Fossilizing Koran. And’ this Koran is a fossilizing docu- ment. - Even in the great University of Elcazar it is the same. The Koran has paralyzed Mohammedan civiliza- tion. It makes all life accord with a uomadic tribe of the seventh century. ‘he great need in Egypt today is industrial training, manual training, a | voeational education. They dor’t know ‘he use of a wheelbarrow, a spade, a hovel or a windmill in a country 4 7here these things are of great use. ‘Ihey also need a college near Cairo— ;2 college like Rcbert college at Con- { stantinople. .

Going from India to China seems like getting out of prison . In China there is no caste—no veiled women. The atmosphere is democratic and the reverence for scholarship is unique. It may be a queer kind of scholar- ship perhaps. Two poles in front of any house means that someone in the family has taken the degree of A.-M. The most im sive sight in China to President Faunce was the view of the old govermment examination halls Nanking. There were 30,000 of thesa cells where men were shut in for nine days to show what they knew of the classics of 2,000 years. The abolition of ‘all this by the empress dowager marked an intellectual revolution such as the world had never seen before, . Eager About American Schools. President Faunce told of speaking to government school students at the ¥. M. €. A. and their éagérness to hear about American schools. “Many Jjoined the Bible classes—not to be- come Christians, but to learn the se- cret of western power and civilization. ‘Thelr eagerness is pathetic. The Chi- nese language -is an impediment to learning. They have no alphabet. It is really picture writing. Another is the difference in language in various parts of the country and the ignorance of what is going on which makes no national mind 'possible. There is a great need of schools for girls. For- merly the standard length for a wom- an’s foot was 3 1-2 inches. Athletic sports are helping to free the minds of the boys. He spoke of the heroeu of education tin. He compared the Chinese tc the Romans and the Japanese to. the Greeks of ancient times. China ,is sound and wholesome and .in the tenth century was the most.civilized nation. The old is going, society is breaking. up and the great danger is that the old will go before the new is ready. The maxims of Fonfucius are being swept away. as- good to take their place? Aifred Noyes’ poem beginning, The spirit that moved upon the deep, sums up the question. “Our Quty is to furnish them with leadership. We give them. ma~ terial things. They need our ideals as well.

Its The twentieth birthday anniversary of the Progressive Missionary club of the Central Baptist church was ob- served in_ the church ' lecture room Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when a specially arranged programme was carrived out. Mrs. A. T. Utley, a for- mer president, occupied the chair in the absence of the president, John E. Post. Three papers, read by Mrs. John H. Ford, Mrs. A. T. Utley and Mrs. George ‘W. Hamilton. gave interesting glimpses of thé spiendid work done by the club during the 20 years of its existence. ~ The First Ten Years. A very interesting paper on the first ten years of the club’s history was read by Mrs. John H. Ford. The paper in_part follows: The first meeeting of the Progres- sive Missionary club met with Mrs. Mabrey. November Sth, ,1895, 20 years ago today. The meeting was opened with the reading of -Scripture . and rayer was led hy Mys. Herr. A mos on was made and carried. that one the ladies present should .act as secretary pro tem. THe first.topic pre- sented was whether. it was best to have a constitution_ and after seme discussion it was thousht advisable. Mrs. Mabrey and Mrs, Myers were ap- pointed a committee to draft a consti- tution and report at the next meeting. A quilt was asked for and was given by Mrs. Julia ;Allen and Mrs. Mabrey. The following Thursday we met in the church parlor and tied the quilt and gave it _to Mrs, Beckwith to be sent in the Rarrel té6 Beaufort, N. C. This was the. first work of the club. Nov. 29 the club met with Mrs. Charles Gallup. After the devotional exercises the constitution was read and adopted. This was followed by the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, Mrs. Myers; vice presi- dent, Mrs. Mabrey; secretary, Mrs. Miner; tréasurer, Mrs. Annie Bentley. The charter members were: Mrs. Julia Allen, Miss Nellie Arnold, Mrs. Eliza beth Cruttenden, Miss Anna Goodwin, Miss Ella Myers, Mrs. Francis Miner, Mrs. Abby Arn Miss Annie Bentley, Mrs. Minnie lup, Mrs. Nettie Ham- lnl‘!on. Mrs. Lizzie Mabrey and Mrs. Mrs. been sent to China, .

Certainly the eariy wark of this club was begun with much prayer for guid- ance and direction, that our ladies might become educated in the cause for missions. In looking m this worls{} 50-inch Diagonal, in dark green only. as I have, it has been re to note at the stated time of our meet- ings the number of our loyal women present with work in hand. One of the ‘opportunities which came to us was the sewing for a little girl whose mother was slowly passing away with tuberculosis and the father one of our missionaries on the Home field. We cared for the child until the mother was called home and I think the most of us felt that she be- longed ‘to_us. Reference: has been made to our pledge to raise $100 in three years towards. the church debt, which was cheerfully angd easily cancelled during the year 1906. During the years that followed we made the same extra ef- ‘'fort for missions. our beloved Owing “to il health, Ella G. Myers, felt it amd president, Mrs. necessary to lay down her work on Oct. 24, 1906, I was asked to fill that vacancy. With much hesitation I took up the work. I had been assoclat- ed with"Mrs. Myers as secretary for ,slxl )‘eun and lf‘th:re :.I: t:ea -gy gain in strength it has been given by || Him who giveth liberally. Dec. 19, 1908, after much suffering, our Heavenly Father took our beloved worker, Mrs. Myers. to be with Him. ‘We' gustained a great loss, but what was our loss was her gain. ‘We were lalso_called to_part with one of our ‘esteemed members, Mrs. Hattle Hollo- way.

The Last Five Years. The work of the last five years, which brings the history of the club up to the present day, was told by Mrs. George W. Hamilton. In part her paper was as follows: The work of our circle during the past five years has been similar to the work of the previous years. During the year 1910-1911, 18 meetings were held. . The membership that year was 81, Seven quilts were made and two left over from that year. The readings were along the lines of colportage and chapel car work and were extremely interesting and instructive. The read- Ings during the year 1811-1912 were varied, some being on chapel car work and others interesting missionary sto- ries. Nineteen meetings were held. During the vear 1912-1913, 18 meet- ings were held” The readings were from the magazine Missions, and oc casionally a lefter from some mission~ ary, and from literature obtained from the missionary rooms in Eoston. Nineteen meetings were held during the year 1913-1914, Mrs. Utley, who had served as. president so well for seven years, was obliged to decline a re-election, much. to the regret of the circle, and for a year we were with- out a leader. Our vice president, Mrs. Franklin H. Brown, filled the chair duriy that time. The readings were mostly from. the book Anne of Ara. During the year 1914-1915 our circle held 19 meetings. At our annual meet- ing in November, 1914, Mrs. John E. Post was unanimously elected presi- dent, The readings were very inter- esting, being mostly from the magazine Missions.. During the five vears our hearts have. been saddened by ‘the death of four faithful, loyal members: Mrs. B. B. Miner, Mrs. Sylvester Arnold, Mrs. Gi;‘:rxe Brooks :and Miss Anna Good- win. In summing up the work dane by the cirele isince its'formation, we find that we have given away $911.11. Through the 20 years we have worked together I think I voice the opinion of the members of the circle when I say we feel that God has blessed our efforts and that we have increased our know- ledge of and - interest in ' different phases of missionary-endeavor and the furthering of the Master’s kingdom. The programme included a solo by Mrs, Sullivan, a reading by Miss Juliette Doane. and a poem, The King’s Highway, by Mrs. Joel B. Slocum. A historic quilt, made by Mrs. Dan- iel M. Lester, was on exhibition and attracted favorable comment from the many present. After the meeting & social hour was | w, enjoyed and refreshments were served.
