MY P. V. FRANCIS.
NEW TORK, 8ept. :.-(Spei.lal (o The
Bee.) The nilasionary movement as an
oraanltatlon movement la Just 100 yean old
thin year and the centenlal of the formation
of the American Hoard of Foreign Mission
aries tlio oldest of the American societies
will lie duly celebrated at Boston next month
In thiH country the I'nlled States has taken
the lead of all nations in foreign mitsi-ion-ary
work.
Contributions of the Vnited Btates have
come to lio.ooo.ooo in a total of J.'I.OijO.Ou) a
year. There are 6.117 missionaries who are
supported by American gifts, and they em
ploy almost 30,000 native teachers and
preachers. There are 700,000 membrrs of
Christian churches In heathen lands.
The present measure of Christian unity
is tald to be largely due to the reflex in
fluence of the mission fields. It is noted
as remarkable by ministers that foreign
missions have always been condemned,
and yet have always thrived. Commercial
men in the east have almost universally
opposed the missionary and his work, and
yet It is argued by church pupil thai the j Bejf
missionaries ana noi hip auvanea seems oi
commerce have brought to A inertia the
Oriental trad as she enjoys. Such men
as Hishop Brout. the Rev. l.r. John P.
Jones, the Rev. Dr. Daniel C. Uieene ami
many others, are credited with liming
shown to the Orient. American civilisation
In its best form.
The rtrsit century of Christian minimis
In foreign lands has been spent lu open
ing doors. In learning languages, and in
building colleges and t hutches.
u More (be Old sou.
The old missionary hymn "From Unin
lands ley Mountains." has been dropped
fio.n a mission hymnal which is to be sub-
m. lied for approval to the convention of the
position in IMP, has been the slogan of the
missionary movement, and which has been
accepted nnd adopted by practically every
I'rotestant sext. The objection of the com
position. It Is anid. is that, although written
by an Knglish bishop. It emphasises "nat
ural rather than revealed religion, apos
trophising mountains and winds and
waters." This heterodox and tendency has.
however, hitherto escaped the notice of the
devout for nearly a century.
Always Poimlar,
The small tempest stirred up among not
only the regular church-going people, but
among some who are not so regular in their
attendance by the abandonment of "The
MiHnloiiujy Hymn," as it is called, seems
T to be the last flash of sentiment connected
with the old time custom of gathering
around the piano or the foot organ to sing
hymns. Few people nowadays In the flood
of cheap, popular music that now sur
rounds us, remember that up to 1K40 hymn
sinking was not only a devotional exercise,
but represented the only form of music
available for the great mass of those out
side the large cities. Even then the sing
ing was conducted under difficulties, be
cause thera was no plao or organ not only
in homes, but for the meeting houses as
well. The ordinary procedure at meeting
wua for the leader to sound the pitch with
his tuning fork. The congregation then
sang In as many parts as it could, and only
too frequently In several keys at once.
Advertising H tkureh.
It pays to advertise. If you don't believe
It ask Christian F. Relsnrra, successful
bulness man. ..Not a bit of it. He Is a
Methodist minister, und a good, old-fashioned
one at that, a strict trlnitarlan, who
preaches ihe fatherhood of Uod and leis
the brotherhood of man take care of lt-
Kev. Klesnex believes heart and soul In
his religion, in his church, lu his work that
he is doing. It Isn't all up In the air he
says. "lVople come to me In the middle
of the ninht sometimes, and gel me out of
bed to tell me their troubles. And I am
often able to help them out and comfort
them. That s practical enough. Isn't It?
"The trouble is, people uon t know when
they need religion. They don't know what
they want," thinks Mr. Meitmer. "They
are too busy making money. The business
man has learned that It pays to tell the
people what they want. In the way of ma
terial things. Why shouldn t the church
auk the mitiiMer. bring its light under a
KpUcopM church when it meets In ti-!h'.'M nd "niind the people that they
cinnatl next month. Stme the news
reached the regular church going public a
!!tt wl.tle ago there has been some in
dignation and surprise expressed.
Protest have been sent to chuiih vriod
icals and to all the delegates and commis
sioners to the convention of the ri;iisc ipal
church, when it meets in Cincinnati nexi
month. Since the news reached the regu
lar church going people a Utile while ugo,
there has been some Indignation and sur
prise expressed. HUhop Heber'a famous
old hymn Is cast out by the committee of
bishops, priests and laymen In charge of
the new hymnal It won't be because public
opinion has not been expressed. In pro
posed mission hynmal there are 172 selec
tions, all of which th committee has pie
ferret to the one which, since Its cont
ains want spiritual things?"
So he la advertising his church. Just as
a business man would advertise bis make
of shoes or bland of tobacco. For example,
when he is (reaching In IH-nver he sendu
out word to all of the papers one week in
midsummer that lie was going to deliver a
snow service the following Sunday. Half
the population of Uenver tried to crowd
Into the church of lute Sunday to see the
wugouload of snow iiat had been brought
down from the mountains and piled up In
front of his pulpit. And it is a fair gueVs
that none of them ever forget that sermon
and its text, "As snow In thw lime of har
vest, so Is a faithful mtMtsenger."
Mill mm tilirrllirr.
Since coming, to this ctty last April to
become pastor of Uraco Methodist church.
he has extended his policy of advertising.
Ijist year he held a "rose service" at which
everyone in the church was presented
with a rose. Every week he has hundreds
of cards printed with catchy headlines,
giving the gist of the next Sunday's ser
mon. Mr. Meisner's policy of advertising has
been successful! So successfully that Ityat
traded the major of lienver and many of
the high public, officials to his church
when he was lu Colorado; so successfully
that a large business house has made, him
a very lucrative offer if he would go on
the road and advertise their goods. But he
does not want to deliver the goods for any
business house. "1 want," lie says, "to
deliver the goods for the glory of God."
Consecration of Catholics.
Aside from the three princes of the Cath- I
olio church who will participate In the con
secration ceremonies of St. Patrick's ca
thedral in New York on October 6, Arch
bishop Dlomede Falconio, apostolic delegate,
und a host of archbishops und bishops from
abroad und this country will attend. Fifty
four already have accepted the Invitation
of Archbishop Farley. Every archbishop
and bishop In this country has been invlbed.
Monsignor Falconlo will be the celebrant
of solemn pontlficial vespers.
Cardinal Vannutelll of Home and Cardinal
Log ue of Ireland will be present at the
solemn pontiflciul mass In the morning, at
which the celebrant will be Cardinal Gib
bons. After the high muss there will be a dinner
at Cathedral college, Madison avenue and
Fifty-first street, for all the clergy. The
program also includes a requiem mass for
all the priests of the diocese who have
died in the last 1"0 jeurs and u children's
service. The time for these and for the
reception at the Catholic club to the three
cardinals has not yet been fixed.
IUlouar oi .Northwest,
"As Uod is my wltntss. If you have this
young mull shot you're Ilia muiderer." The
young clergyman who thus remonstrated
with the half-breed Riel, forty-one yeurs
ago, on the cold, grim morning that Thomas
Scoli was led out for execution, died the
oilier day at Toronto. Rev. Ueorge Young
was Hie first Methodist missionary In Mani
toba; he was a skypilot of the trails; lie
belonged to the weet of the past like Rob
ertson, the Prtsliylei lap, to the days when
bud men were picturesque horse thieves,
w hisky smugglers and alcohollsed red men.
Fort Garry waa Dr. Young's mission. Hers,
as a young man, lie began by ministering
to the prisoners whom Riel gathered In
on his rampage back in 'lis; he comforted
Thomas Scott in his last hours. Dr. Young
was a great Canadian missionary. He canie
to Fort Garry as a humble emlstury of his
church, he lived to. see it Winnipeg; a city
of churches.

WASHINGTON. Sept. There were fct
deaths from acute anterior poliomyelitis, or
Infantile paralysis, 1 1 ti from pellagra, fifty
five from rabies, or hydrophobia, and nine
deaths from leprosy In 1908, in the death
registration area of continental United
States, which comprise! over Im per cent
of the total population, according to the
census bureau's forthcoming bulletin on
mortality statistics for 1!X submitted to
Census Director Durand by Dr. Cressy U,
Wilbur, chief statistician for vital statistics.
It Is reported that, of the 569 deaths from
Infantile paralysis, 552 were of white and
only seventeen of colored persons. There
was a somewhat greater Incidence of
disease among males and an Increased
mortality In August, September and
October.
The bulletin states that no statistical
segregation of Infantile paralysis as a
cause of death has been made heretofore,
but the increasing importance of the disease
and Its wide prevalence throughout the
country In the form of local epidemics
render a statement of the mortality Im
portant. IJke meningitis, which it some
wnat resembles, It Is difficult to obtain an
exact separation of the deaths from the
specific Infectious disease, acute anterior
poliomyelitis, from other Infections of
similar nature. Acute anterior poliomyelitis
Is described by the bulletin as an acute in
fectious disease chiefly affeoting children
in the first five years of life, and while
not infrequently fatal Is of even more
serious consequence as the cause of more
or less permanent paralysis and atrophy
of muscles. Numerous outbreaks have oc
curred in tills country,-the most Important
of which were those In Vermont, in ls!4.
and In New Vorit and Connecticut, in 17.
The tx'.9 deaths compiled tor the registration
area for 1109 were widely distributed, and
-Indicate endemic or epidemic prevalence In
many parts of the country. It should be
i remembered, the bulletin points out, that
' the census data relate only to registration
.sources, and that for the nonrei,-lsirarion
! states the deaths are only those returned
j from the registration cities contained
therein. The deaths from acute anterior
poliomyelitis In the registration states num
bered as follows: California. 12 (1 In San
Francisco); Colorado, II In Denver); Con
necticut, (1 in New Haven); District of
Columbia icily of Washington). 1; Indiana.
14; Maine. ; Maryland, 4 U in Baltimorei;
Massachusetts, C2 C.'l In Boston and 1 In
Worcester); Michigan, It (2 In Detroit),
New Hampshire, 11; New Jersey, 24 (2 in
Jersey City, 6 in Newark); New York, 115
2 In Buffalo, 64 In Greater New York, 2
In Rochester, 1 In Syracuse); Ohio, 16 (1 In
Cincinnati. 2 In Cleveland); Pennsylvania,
76 (8 In Philadelphia. 8 In Pittsburg. 1 In
Scranton); Rhode Island, 4 t3 In Provi
dence); South Dakota, 6; Vermont, 2; Wash
ington, 5, and Wisconsin, 51 (1 in Mil
waukee). The disease does not seem particularly
to affect the large cities of 100.000 and over
population In 1900, as given in the preceding
l!st.
For the nonregistration states there were,
in the registration cities only, deaths num
bering as follows: Alabama, 2; Illinois
(17 In Chicago); Kentucky. 2 (1 In Louis
ville); Louisiana. 1 (New Orleans); Minne
sota, 82 J21 in Minneapolis, 63 In St. Paul);
Missouri. 6 (1 In Kansas City, 4 in St. Louis);
Nebraska, t (Omaha); North Carolina. 1;
Oregon. 2 (Portland); South Carolina. 1
(Charleston); Tennessee, 1; Texas, 2; t'tah.
2. and Virginia, 3.
The duration of illness prior to death was
reported only In 292 of the 569 cases. In 19
of these It was 1 year or more. 1 each be
ing reported as of 10. 14, 16, 18 and 20 years'
duration. These may reoresent the results
of old attacks or perhaps may Include,
deaths from other forms cf poliomyelitis.
There were 40 cases of duration of illness In
excess of 1 month but less than a year, 21
of which were under 2 months. The great
majority of the fatal cases returned were
of very brief duration, 2-13, or tl per cent,
being of less than 1 month. Of these there
were 20 stated to be of 1 day, 22 of 2 davs,
30 of 3 days, 31 of 4 days, 2 of 5 davs,
IS of 6 days. 24 of 7 davs. 10 of fn-s.
6 of days. 22 of 10 days, only I of 11 days.
The tendency to report n round num. era
or to give even weeks someWLbjit vitiates
the exact statements; the average duration
of all the fatal cases with duration ot
under 1 month Is 7.2 days.
The bulletin states that among the rarer
diseases included In the epldem c group
may be found some whose occasional oc
currence awakens more Interest and popu
lar fear than many hundred times as manv
deaths from more accustomed caoses
Among these there were, during the year
is. 3 deaths from typus (typus fever).
In deaths from small pox. 2 deaths from
plague, and deaths from leprosv. No
deaths occurred from Asiatic cholera or
from yellow fever.
In the second subdivision of the class
of general diseases there were compiled 8
deaths from glanders. 14 from anthrax
(malignant pustule), .Vi from rabies (hydro
phobia). 38 from actlnomycos's, trichinosis,
etc.. 116 from pellagra. SO from U-Hd pnlson
in and 6 from other occupational poison
ing. Pellagra is a new disease in the mortality
stat sties the bulletin stales Only 23
