Missions Are Worth While on Ceylon’s Spicy llsie

Colombo, Ceylon.—Reginald Heber has taught more people than have the geographies that there is such a place as Ceylon, and he has determined their fmpression of it. For everybody knows his hymn, “From Greenland's Icy Mountains,” which runs: .

: “What though the spicy breezes ‘ Blow soft o’er Ceylon’s Isle, . Where every prospect pleases, - ry And only man is vile.” . * That is a trifle hard on Ceylon, but it has forever marked this island as identified with Christian missions. And they are here, not so apparent, perhaps, as the pieasing prospects, for this is a singularly beautiful land, but still easily discernible to a seeking eyé. The first signs of Christianity, in this land of palms, spices and tea, are the: lofty church spires of Colombo; the next, the silver crosses about-the uecks of the diving boys. : The Diving Boys of Colombo.

tive boys crying, “Dive! Dive! Ten cents! All right! All right! .Dive! Dive!” And wonderful little amphibious animals they . are, following the glitter of a far-flung coin clear to the bottom of the, bay, or indulging in a fight under water for the possession of it. Given the“opportunity, one of the lustrous-eyed urchins with the sunbleached hair will dive 30 feet from the ship’s rail in pursuit of a coin. Long after the passengers have wearied of the amusement the boys will still surround the ship with their cries afd their oft-repeated song, “Ta-ra-ra-ra-boom-de-lay,” until the traveler is quite ready .to assent to the hymnwriter’s declaration that the Singhalese are ‘“vile’”’ -

These boys are mostly Roman Catholic, as are nine:tenths of the Christians in the island. So effective -has mission work been that Christians are always included by the natives in any enumeration of the religions of Ceylon. Tean per cent. of the island’s population of three and a half million people is Christian. The prevailing faiths are in this numerical order: Buddhist, Hindu, Mohammedan and Christian.

Under the Sacred Bo Tree, the Y. M. C. A, at Colombo.

scapulars (the natives do not wear clothes enough to conceal their scapulars) the Christians may not be known by any outward token. In the case of men, they commonly wear long hair and the. comb on top of their heads, which gives them a Mephistophelian appearance; the poorer people are naked to the waist or wear only a breech-clout. The same is true of the Buddhists. The Hindus are Tamils, from India; and they are smeared on face and body with various sect marks in ashes, The Tamil women wear nose rings, bracelets, finger rings, anklets aud toe rings. The Mohammedan men ‘wear turbans or fez caps and ‘their women, at least of the better class, go velled. | T The Binghalese are a fine-looking, but

somewhat feminine people. With good features, an erect_’ carriage and lithe, well-formed bodies, shining in the sun, these soft-eyed men look like philosophers; it is distinctly a shock to find that practically everyone you meet is either quick to beg a gratuity or skillful in cheating you.. The children, veritable black cherubs, run after your carriage, touching their. foreheads and crying, “Got no mommer, got no popper. Please, master, penny.” It is not wailing mendicancy; the persistent little. beggars are all the while trying to smile the money out of your pockets. But the spirit of servility seems general; self-respecting independence is a quality chiefly notable for its absence. : A False Tooth Worshipped. - This is a center of Buddhism. It is to Kandy, the ancient capital, that Buddhists make pilgrimages from all over the island, and also from India. Our Buddhist guide naively informed us that “All the world comes to Kandy

every full moon.” For at Kandy is the famous shrine containing Buddha’s tooth. The tooth that is annually displayed is bogus, the original having been taken away and destroyed by the Portuguese, although the temple attendants deny this. Said one of them: “Of course this is the real tooth, else why would millions of people worship it?” This reasoning satisfied him, as it 'did the, other devout worshippers whom I saw at the shrine. ; The Bo Tree and the Cricket Match. Ask the driver of a Colombo ghari to take you to see a banyan tree and he will drive you to the Young Men’s Christian association grounds, where a large and- beautiful specimen of the famous tree shades the imposing red brick building which represents America’s interest in the young men of Colombo. On the other side of the front of the building ils a sacred bo tree, which imparts sanctity to the site, in the eyes of the Buddhists. The original location of the association building, given by the city, took in this bo tree, but as it could not be cut down without a riot, the building was finally erected.between the bo and the banyan trees. . v

ketter proof of the worth of the association than these environments, in the eyes of the foreign community, at least, is the fact that its dusky members make such a good showing in athletics. It was my fortune to sée the Y. M. C. A. team defeat the proud English cricketers, on the latter’'s own grounds, to the music of 147 to 62: The- Englishman is a good sportsman and the victory was greeted with cheers from the clubhouse. The whole: situation .is extraordinary, considering the white man's attitude toward the native races, and it is a fine tribute tc the association. As throwing light on the old charge that native Christians are thieves and liars, and the least desirable employes, I was informed that the erack bowler on the association team is the only native clerk em:

ployed in the government stores wha is permitted to go and come as he pleases, without inspection at the door. | A Polygtot Institution. The vigor and popularity of the association in Ceylon are attested by the fact that there are 19 branches scattered over the island, with 1,250 memnbers, of whom 350 are members of student associations comprising Burghers (as the half-castes, or Eurasians, are called here), Europeans, Singhalese and Tamils. Religiously, these are divided into Parsees, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Hindus and Christians. In one of the small branches four men lodge;: one of these i 8 a Canadian, one a Burgher, one a Singhalese and one a Tamil. Altogether, the association provides residence for 22 men. A strong body of leading European resi dents direct the work, and there are meany Europeans in the membership, but these are such principally from altruistic motives; the membership that enjoys the privileges of the association is clearly native. I found the readi§g room and restaurant and game room being well patronized. The distinctively religious work is well developed, 14 weekly classes for Bible study being maintained. A young Canadian, Mr. C. A. Adams, of Magill university, is the secrethry in charge of the Y. M. C. A. work throughout the islands.

Young Women’s Mission Work

It is somewhat noteworthy that in this old and famous mission field so prominent a place should be occupied by those modern organizations, the Young Men’s Christian asso®iation and the Young Women’s Christian association. Of the latter there are 13 branches in Ceylon, Miss Campbell, of Kandy, an English young woman, being general secretary. A young woman from lowa, who was for some time secretary of the Y. W..C. A. at Germantown, Pa., Miss M. F..Cross,.is in charge of the association in Colombo. In a charming palm-shaded bungalow a home is provided for young women, and a social and religious center maintained. While more than a little social ‘work is done among young women, the success of the religious department has overshadowed all else. Fourteen weekly Bible classes for young women, 12 in English, dne in Singhalese and one in Portuguese, are maintained in Colombo alone. The . refined, unprofessional atmosphere of the Young Women’s Christian association work commends it in a peculiar manner. ; : Dusky Salvation Army Lassies. - Like, and yet unlike, home are the native Salvation Army lassies, in ‘the familiar red waist and wearing the nickel shield badge, whom one meets in Ceylon. They do mnot, however, wear the hideous poke bonnet, but, like all native women here, go bareheaded. In traveling into the interior one finds them at almost every station offering, with the melting smiles that make all Singhalese women attractive, a subscription book, in lieu of the “War Cry.” The report is that very good work is done by the Salvation Army among the lower classes of natives. . :

Caste obtains here, as in India, and is a barrier to religious work. The schools do more than a little to overcome it. While these articles are confined to American and Canadian missions, the excellent work done by the many British societies is met with at every turn. Most of the missions that dot Ceylon are British; it is to their praise that there is very little criticism of missions here, and most of that is a- mere echo of the prejudice against missions-which exists in the world of travel. The educational side of missionary service has been emphasized; there is less need for medical missions than in some other lands. This is a British crown colony, and the government maintains a system of medical dispensaries, these being, by the way, a development of ' medical missions. The only two missionary hospitals in' Ceylon are maintained by the American board at Jaffna. - It is claimed ° that “India’s coral strand” is really at Jaffna, northern Ceylon, where the coral formation is extensive. Probably that had nothing to do with the planting at Jaffna, 90 years ago, of the American board’s second oldest mission. This mission, the only strictly American one on the island, was established in 1826, and it has maintained a successful exgistence ever since. The oldest mission school for girls is at Jaffna, having been in continuous existence since 1823. It now has 200 girls in dormitory. The students are chiefly high caste natives, as are most of the Christians, and recently a notable victory has been won by the missionaries in requiring the high caste pupils to associate closely, on a basis of equality in all things, with a number of low caste students who have been admitted. In the school there are no caste lines whatever. Despite this fact, and despite the fact that the school is strongly Christian in-charae-ter, nine-tenths of its pupils becoming members of the church, high-caste heathen Hindu parentz continue to send their daughters, paying a higher tuition than elsewhere. . Jaffna district has a Protestant population of 4,499, of whom half belong to the American mission, the other be: ing divided among several English missions. There are 27,161 Roman Catholics in 1,266 square miles. The whole population is 300,851. The American mission, when all its workers are in the field, has a force of 14 missionaries, 18 churches, 10 ordained pastors, 23 Unordained catechists, 39 Bible women, § higher educational fnstitutions, 128 lower schools, and 1 T R v,

Its smooth, rich, satisfying smoking qualities are a delight both to the palate and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs everywhere. In spite of the fact that the Lewis factory employ no traveling men the sales this year will exceed 9,000,000, the demand being cre ated solely on the high quality ef the tobacco used. :
