= = : - ” 1 ON THE TRAIL OF THE O AMERICAN MISSIONARY - By WILLIAM T. ELLIS ‘ : No “Khock’ers”‘ at Mission ih_the Philippine Islands

Manila, P. L—“ There are no knockers at missionaries in the Philippines.” Thus ‘a Manila newspaper man colloquially diagnosed the missionary situation in the islands. My own investigations verified this opinion; the criticism of missions and missionaries which is so general in the port cities of the far east is conspicuous for its absence in Manila. The missionaries appear to be on the best of terms with everybody, from the governor general down. ’

One of the most popular dinner clubs in the city fs the Quill club, to which most of the prominent men in Manila belong, and which was organfzed by two missionaries. Not until. the recent visit of Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall and Secretary Liloyd,.of the Protestant Episcopal board when they were guests of the club, was anything like a religious topic even treated in the after dinner speeches. This suggests a notable fact about the Philippine missionaries. The man if not swallowed up in the minister. So far as I met them personally, I found the missionaries sharing the characteristics of most of the other Americans in the islands; strong, ~sensible, symmetrical men, seriously engaged in the business of making the best nation possible out of the Filipinos. | Catholic-Protestant WNeighborliness. Inasmuch as the Roman Catholic church has been in the islands for 300 vears, and most of the natives are, at least nominally, members of that communion, I expected to find bitterness and acrimony between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. But this is not the case, and for two reasons. The first is that the Protestant missionaries have worked with' tact and quietness and have endeavored td

avoid arousing antagonisms and sectarian bitterness. [ The second is that the old church organization has its hands full with the Aglipay schism, which claims not only more than 2,000,000 adherents, | but also a large part of the churc‘h‘ property in the islands. This que.-] tion is now being fought out in the | courts. In the meantime, the two wings of Catholicism are manifestiq’g] no little bitterness toward each other. -Arehbishop Agius, the Apostolic dele- | . -_gate, could not find terms with which to characterize Aglipay, when 'I broached the matter to him. f { And from what I could ascertain’l suspect that he is pretty nearly cq,r-I rect in regarding Aglipay as a selfish 1 schemer, an opportunist, and a politician. Aglipay, who rose to power on .the tide of opposition to the friars, | merely represents the idea of revolt against old and evil conditions.” He' seems to stand for nothing—or rather for anything and everything—in “a theological way; in one district he professes himself as steadfastly devoted to all the historic teachings .apd practices of Rome; in another, he’is .-__practically a Protestant, attacking church rites and distributing Bibles; ~~ So bitter is the strife between the Roman Catholics and the Aglipayans that neither pays much attention to the Protestants, who go unmolested on their way, adding great numbers to the Protestant churches. Many recruits, I am told, come to the missionaries from the Aglipayan fold, having discovered the unsatisfactory condition of the latter. Not a few of the earliest adherents of the Pro- , testant missionaries became such ' from pelitical motives; anything 'to < “ show g‘ebellion against the Spanish friars. | Many of these early fell away, but some have become intelligent workers in the Protestant churchel Good Words for the Filipino. | A further word should be wrlt{en concerning the Roman Catholic clm;‘-ch fn the islands, before passing on| to the distinctively missionary propaganda. It is to be horne in mind that the superiority of the Filipino to the * Asiatic—and he undoubtedly is superior to Japanese, Chinese, Malay or fndian—is due to the civilizing influ_ence of the Roman Catholic church. That the umudmmbwaqu to d» more for the islands politically: ~ in less than ten years than Great Britain has done for India in a hun%’f’ e e e the 2 “

the Filipinos revolted. On all sides it is agreed that the church in the islands should be brought up to the American standard. Concerning the handful of American priests who have gone to the Philippines, I heard only, praise, from Monsignor Agius down to the civilian “man of the street.” There is a great need for more. Failing this, the church authorities look with most hcpefulness to the present movement for the education of young Filipinos to the priesthood in the- United States. Lack of suitable priests is the chief need of the church in the islands, in order to remedy conditions which cannot exist in the light of the increasingly-circu-lated newspapers, of widespread popular education, and of a steadily growing American spirit. Next comes the need for the rehabilitation of church edifices, which are still in a ruinous condition, as a result of the war. Apparently none of the money paid by the American goveranent to the friars for their lands is being used for the churches in the islands. : - Looking Out for the American. A peculiar situation was created in Manila by the advent of so many American men, mostly Protestants. In behalf of these,.churches have’ been established in Manila by the Presbyterians, Protestant Episcopalians, Methodists and Disciples. All of these are centers of vigorous religious influences. Dr. S. B. Rossiter, the Presbyterian pastor, has won for himself an enviable place in the life of Manila, and Bishop Brent, of the Episcopal church, is by all classes regarded as one of the great men of the islands. The Methodist pastor is a voung man and new-comer, but the church is a popular one. Dr. Homer

Stunz’s return to the states because of illness removed a forceful personality from the Philippines. The Episcopalians have built St. Mary’s and St. John’s cathedral, the finest modern ccclesiastical structure in Manila. An adjunct of this is the Columbia club, a bhandsomely equipped clubhouse, run on liberal and gentlemanly lines by the members, and having about it no taint of patronage or the eleemosynary spirit. Its members are men from all walks in/life. It differs from other high-grade clubs chiefly in that gambling and drinking are tabooed. Altogether it is by far the most successful institution of the sort I have ever seen. Bishop Brent has 15 workers associated with him, and services for Americans are maintained in several places. The distinctively missionary work of the church has been almost wholly confined to the non-Christian tribes. ’ : For Manila’s Men. . Somre interesting statistics concerning the American men in Manila were recently gathered by thegoun‘g Men’s Christian association. f the 3,482 American young men in Manila, 83 1-3 per cent. are unmarried. Of the total number, 351 have Filipino wives or live with Filipino women.:» The others are distributed as follows: Five hundred and sixty-five are’ living in American homes; 627 are living in messes; 813 are rooming in Filipino families; 203 are living in hotels; 862 are soldiers; 61 are in Bilibid prison. Apparently, the average American does not find the atmosphere of the islands conducive to church-going. A count was made, upon a recent Sunday, of all the American, men in attendance upon the city’s 20 churches, Roman Catholic and Protestant, and the aggregate number was found to be 416. At the Columbia club were 81 and at the Luneta sacred concert were 395. Over against these 892 (among whom were doubtless many duplicates) who were under religious or “wholesome” influences, may be placed the count of 1,695 in attendance upon baseball games, races, etc. At two similar resorts where the count could not be made, the estimated number was 250 more. =

This does not mean that Manila is an immoral city; in truth 1 was amazed at the quietncss and orderliness of it, and at the manifestly high character of the people. So far as I could ascertain, the attacks upon the morality of Americans in the Philippines have been cruel exaggerations. While they apparently do not lean strongly to church-going, the men of. Manila yet manifest an alert interest in the moral welfare of the city. The

project to build a hundred thousand dollar Young Men’'s Christian association building, with lodgings for a hundred men, ‘was made a civic matter, and pushed through enthusiastically. Jhe Y. M. C. A, by the way, was the first Protestant agency at work in the islands, and its splendid service for the soldiers, now supplemented by work for civilians, has continued to this day, winning warmest praise in all quarters. S ‘ . Churches Get Together. : The first outstanding fact concerning the distinctively missionary work of "the islands by the Protestant churches is the plan of cooperation which was' lately adopted. Profiting by the experience of other mission fields, the denominations early got together to apportion theterritory, so that duplication and conflict might be avoided. In order also to present a united front for Protestantism, a common name, “Evangelical churches,” was adopted, in place of the varied and confusing denominational appellations. 7

In the division of the islands among the denominations, the . Methodists have the greater part of Luzon, north of Manila, and the Presbyterians the southern portion of the same island as well as four other islands. The Disciples of Christ also have four staticns in the most northerly part of Luzon. Since 1900 the Baptists have occupied Negros, northern and southern Panay and the Island of Romblon, with 17 missionaries and 17 native congregations. Congregationalists are located on the Island of Mindanao, where they work in close cooperation with the Presbyterians. The Episcopalians have a work for the pagan

Igorrotes, and also for the Chinese. Methodists likewise have a mission among the Chinese. The United Brethren are strongly established about San Fernando. Spiritualists and Christian* Scientists have work in Manila. L

The total Protestant membership of the islands, reported to the Evangelical Union last year, was 15,000, exclusive of 10,000 probationers:recorded in the Methodist church. - The lastnamed body is witnessing an extraordinary growth; with only nine Americans engaged in the . Filipino work—it now reports, according to Rev. M. A. Rader, presiding elder, no less than 18,000 members, including probationers. A curious fact about its congregations, and those of the other missions, is that two-thirds, of them are men, and of this number threecuarters are young men. There are 300 licensed: native workers in the Methodist church, only a few of whom receive any financial assistance. This characteristic of independence and self-support runs through all the Protestant missions. The great bulx of their churches throughout the islands has been built by the natives themselves. - T

' Educational and eleemosynary effort on the part of the missions includes the Presbyterian hospitals at Iloilo and Demaguetesand the Silliman Industrial Institute for Boys at the latter place, the Protestant Episcopal Dispensary and Settlement House in Manilag the Methodist hospital and schools, the Jaro Industrial school of the Baptists with about 300 students, and various training schools for native workers and periodical religious publications maintained by -the different denominations. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) WIRELESS BY DAYLIGHT. Prof. Fessenden Announces the Dis covery of a New Impulse. In-a recent communication to the Electrician of London, Prof. R. Al Fessenden states that he has developed a new method of sending wireless telegraphic messages during the daytime by means of a different type ‘of electrical impulse from that which he had previously employed. Thig impulse has made it possible to cut down the absorbing power of daylight to a small fraction of its previous amount. The system has been tried from Brant Rock, Mass, to the West Indies, the * distance being approximately the ®ame as that from Newfoundland to Ireland. The success is so noticeable that Prof. Fessenden believes that transatlantic wireless telegraphy during daylight is assured. The new impulses are less efficient during night time than the old ones, but they give results which are equal: ly good by night and by day. A comparison between the effectiveness of transmission obtained through their use and the use of the older type is about as follows, the distance being from Bra’.’x'_lt Rock to Washington, D. C.: : When the old irmapulse produces an effect equivalent to 1,200 between the hours of 10 and 12 at night, the same impulse would give a strength of signal between 12 and 12:30 at noon of only 30. The new impulse under the same conditions will produce an effect at the receiving station of about 80 between 10 and 12 at night and of 76 between 12 and 12:30 at noon. | The fact that the newer signals are weaker in daytime than the old is thought to be of no consequence, it being much more important that there should be no marked difference between the transmission during the dayume and at night. Rongh measurements over long distarnces seem to show that the new type of impulse does fall off somewhat when transmis ting 1,600 miles s@* ‘but that the rute of falling off does fot compare with that of the old type of impulse, 20 that the signals reccived are much

Begin Early and Be Very Patient in ‘the Work. When a colt is coming two years old I put a bitting harness on it and turn it out in a lot, away from other horses 'and colts, says a writer in Farmers’ Review. I then train him to be guided by the use of lines run through rings low down on a wide strap surcingle, which I use for this purpose. I then drive the colt around the lot for a short'time. When I desire the colt to turn I pull one line firmly, at the time tapping the colt gently on the opposite side with a light whip. ‘I then train him to back and also to stop by the use of the word whoa. : . I then hiteh the colt in with an old steady horse that is not afraid of anything. I wish to say that a colt never should be broken with a blind bridle. Colts that are being broken should be permitted to see everything that is going on around them. When something occurs and the colt sees that the mate it is being driven with is-in no way concerned, it quickly gets over its fright. s There is a great difference in breeds as ‘to the readiness with which the colts become trained to daily work. I find the Percheron by all odds the easiest horse to train. A Hambletonian, I think, requires more time and patience to train, than any other breed with which I have had experience. The Hambletpnian is naturally nervous and skittish. I have broken and trained a great many of them, bu* have never found one that 1 did not have to watch very closely. They are always on the lookout for something strange.

On the part of the trainer, the most essential elements are patience, firmness and good judgment.

THE LIVE STOCK. A man can’t drive a balky horse and Pe a Christian. The stable for all animals should be well lighted. , Don’t mix the salt with the feed. Let the stock use it as they wish. Any one is a monster of cruelty who will dock a horse. The horses’ tails are given them to protect themselves from flies. } It costs no more to raise a colt than it does a calf, and a three or four-year-old grade draft horse is worth four times. as much as a grade dairy cow of the same age,'and the labor involved in caring for the colt is comnsiderably less. : Don’t forget to buy the boar as early as possible and by all means plan to get one of pure blood. A few dollars difference in price between a good registered boar and a scrub boar will be more than made up on one litter of pigs. v If you are crowded for pen room during the winter a cheap shed banked and covered with straw will be found quite satisfactory as a sleeping place for the brood sows. However, they should not be ‘allowed to remain in this shelter throughout the day.

A creamery manager who does a lot of driving has driven his horse for six months without the use of a'bit. A special bridle is just as effective to hold and guide the horse and saves it the discomfort of a bit in its mouth. This same chap used a buggy which has tires made with beveled surfaces which do not throw mud or dust. He says they are great success.

Choking of Animals. Hardly a farmer has not had more or less experience with animals being choked. This can be remeédied to a very great extent, or can be relieved. While animals will get choked once in a while it can be helped. The simplest thing to do which may save the life of a valuable animal and will not hurt it, is to insert a piece of common rubber hose about six feet long down the cow’s neck; perhaps it would be well to hold the animal's mouth open with a cord until you strike the apple, or whatever it is that chokes her. Often the apple is so swelled, or so firmly wedged, as to be difficult to stir. Run a buggy whip down this rubber pipe.. The pipe will fit against that apple, so there will be no danger of making any hole in the animal’'s gullet. Press the end of the whip carefully down until it reaches the stomach. The gas will - escape quickly through the pipe and the animal will be r,dlkv:d.--nr, E. E. Towaer.

~ VARIETY IN HOG FEED. \ The Animals Do Better When Given : Many Kinds. : There are some very important congiderations in feeding swine which should not be lost sight of. The hog by nature is' an omnmiyorous animal and readily eats a great variety of food. Though domesticated for many years he has not lost his natural instincts and loves to roam the fields and woods in search of various roots and plants and is not averse to eating meat of various kinds whenever opportunity affords. This love of a great variety of food is so deeply rooted in the hog as to have made a permanent impression upon the character of his teeth whici are adapted not ‘only to the grinding of grain but also to the tearing asunder of flesh. This of itself should be sufficient to gonvince the feeder of the advisability of variety in the ration of the hog, but the general cultivation of corn in the corn ‘belt and -its cheapness in years gone by have led many farmers to lose sight of this essential matter. Moreover a variety of food while essential to the satisfaction of the animal consuming it stimulates ‘the digestive organs to greater activity, which is a most desirable end to attain, and this of itself would amply reward the feeder for taking greater pains and effort to provide the hog with a greater variety of food suited to his nutrition. A

The mere fact that the hog has a ravenous appetite and will eat practically anything that is placed before it should not render it insensible to the value of a variety of food. ' The instincts of the human being are so ‘deeply grounded in this respect that they should teach us to have more regard for the dumb animals placed under our control and which cannot help themselves by reason of their domestication te secure many of the things which the system naturally ‘craves.

We generally regard the needs of the animal satisfied when we have given a theoretical proportion of' protein, carbohydrates and fat, trusting to luck that sufficient mineral matter will be supplied -in the foods fed to meet the requirements of the animal body and it is in this respect that a greater injustice is done the fattening hog as a rule than in any other particular—Experiment Station; Bulletin. L BAD TEMPERED HORSES:™ Try the Sugar Treatment Suggested | “in the Article Below. - About 30 years ago one of my neighbors had a cross stallion. He began to give sugar to the stallion ' rigst out of his hand; very soon the man could do most anything with him,

.Twenty-five years ago I bought a high-spigited mare; she was so restless that I could hardly hitch her up in the -buggy. 1 coaxed and petted her, fed her on apples; but I had to jump on the buggy while she started oft. I went to using granulated sugar. I put some sugar in my codt pocket, and whenever I hitched her up or untied her from a hitching post I would take a handful of sugar and let her eat it out of my hand. If you hold the sugar in° your hand till it gets warm s 0 much the better. While she was licking off the sugar*l would talk to her, and also pat her on the neck, or scratch her lightly right behind the ear, and in a short time I could hang over the dash-board, help my wife and daughter into the buggy, tuck in the blankets, get in myself at leisure, and when I took up the lines and gave the word to go she would walk off, and not start on a run as she formerly did. ‘lt was the same with her when 1 hitched her to a plow. She wanted to start by jumps, but by giving her sugar and kind talking, I soon had her gentle.. A pound of sugar is better than a dozen whips. Many horses have beer¥ spoiled by the cruel and generally inconsiderate treatment to which they have been subjected by ignorant - and brutal owners and drivers. : Very often a bad tempered or spoiled horse can be bought very cheap and by feeding him sugar as above described he can be made very docile in a short time and can be sold at a large profit. With kindness you can do wonderful things. When I was a boy my father gave me a colt. I trained him so he would follow me wup a pair of steps, would come and put his head through a collar, or would come and take- the bridle bit into ‘his mouth and slip his head into the bridle, and besides this would do many other tricks. At the age of two and a'half years I was offered $250 for him. Kindness does a great deal with all stock on the farm. ¢ .

DISINFECTING THE ONLY PREVENTIVE e — Borax, a Simple, Safe and Sure | reaT How tb keep our homes clean, sweet and free from germ influences is a question. While there is no occasion for alarm, it is always well to be forearmed on the theory that “An Ounce of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound of Cure,” and no ounce of prevention has yet | been discovered that is more simple, more direct and more effective, yet harmless to the human system, than Borax. : : : Borax has been known and used for generations as a purifier and preventive against epidemic influences originating from uncleanly conditions resulting from unsanitary sinks and drains, and when used as a hot solution in the proportion of two table"spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water flushed through the offending locations, removes every trace of disease germs and renders the pipes clean and wholesome. ;

Borax in addition to its ' hygienic qualities, is a household necessity, and can be used for numberless domestic purposes. It softens the water, makes linen dazzling white, will cleanse every article in the kitchen or dinfng room and make it bright, will prevent moths, soften and whiten the skin, remove dandruff and cleanse the scalp, and for cleansing and sterilizing baby’s milk bottle '‘and nipple has no equal. Borax, unlike every other cleanser and disinfectant, is absolutely harmless to the system, and is safe, simple, economical, and can be purchased at any druggist or grocery.
