friends In Temple; and to those In-
terested In woman'a suffrage, It will
be of especial Interest. We used to

pretty poems that fell from his pen,
In ante-bellum days but there Is
more truth than poetry In these time-
ly lines.
Really, I don't fell qualified to say
anything that would be of Interest.
One who has been In France for some-
thing like a year naturally feels very
much behind times here, and more
like asking for Information than at-
tempting to express his own Ideas.

you good people are over generous In
giving credit to ua boys who have
been over. You know it hasn't been
a 'soldier's war" only. Without tha
wonderful backing and co-operation
the folks at home have given, our
efforts would have been practically
worthless,. so we want all of you to
know that we are Just as proud of
the "drives' the homeland had made

anything in so long that I haven't
any "stock arguments" on the sub-
ject, and I* must therefore answer
briefly. We do know, however, that
the times always move iui forward,
and that with the "times" has come,
in many sections of tho stales, equal
suffrage. We also know that the best
example of successful legislation is
permanency of its enactments; thus
the fact that equal suffrage has al-
ways stayed when once It came should
be a better endorsement than iry-
thing I could say. I think we all real
ize that It is Inevitable.

FOREIGN MISSIONS
PAY BIO DIVIDENDS i
Few people realize that missions are
a commercial asset—that missionaries
are, to a certain extent, commercial
agents, said a statement recently given
out by a prominent Methodist. Yet
that is what they are. A few years
ago the Belgian Congo, located in the
heart of Africa, was merely a dot on
the map of the commercial world.
But a missionary, George Grenfell,
sailed up the Congo, established a
mission station among the natives and
"business picked up." Today, the an-
nual trade with the Congo state is
more than fifty million dollars. The j
'air"> thing has taken place In every
foreign country which, until the mis-
sionary paved the way, offered no
market to the commercial world.
These missionary people carry with
them the things »f civilization—sew-
ing machines, typewriters, standing
collars, steam engines. At first the
natives are usually terribly afraid; but
afterwards, when they find the steam
engines and sewing machines are not
death-dealing devices Invented by a
tyrannical devil, they lose their fear,
and, finally, enjoy the use of them
like civilization the world over. And
the point about the whole thing Is that
the missionary did what no mere com-
mercial agent on earth would have
done—voluntarily left a life of com-
fort, the people who went to make
that life worth while—and set his face
towards Jungles and strange peoples
and years of utter sacrifice. No man
ever did a thing of that kind at the
call of a dollar. Heroism, sacrifice,
heart work—these things cannot be
bought, It takes a great cause—a tre-
mendous Ideal—a faith In things be-
yond the three-KCore-years-and-ten
mark—to make these missionaries the
kind of commercial "agents'' that they
are.
Because of the things which mis-
sions have done for business, Williard
Price, editor of the World Outlook,
recently declared that American busi-
ness men could afford to pay all the
cost of foreign missions for the sake
of the business that comes home to
roost on American bank books. Mr.
Price was speaking in behalf of the
centenary campaign of the Methodist
church, which will conduct a finan-
cial drive for home and foreign mis-
sion work May 18-25. But his argu-
ment Is sound enough to apply to all
mission work and to the business In-
terests of the world which profit
through the sacrifice men and women
are making every day In the mission-
ary fields.
