The American Broad of Com- missioners for Foreign Missions is holding its 113th Annual Con- vention in Evanston this week. Of the many conventions which have come to our city none has a more interesting history or a wider influence than this great board of the Congregational Church. Organized at Bradford, Massachusetts, in 1810, by men of world-wide vision, it is the pio- neer of all the large boards of both foreign and home missions now operating in the United States. A review of the names of the men who have made up its member- ship during its long period of ac- tivity would reveal many familiar to us as statesmen, scholars, edu- cators and soldiers, but whom we have perhaps not thought of in a wider connection, so little do many of us know of the opera- tions of this vast international force, with its missionaries, its churches, schools, colleges, hos- pital and other activities in every section of the globe. Probably no one can speak with greater authority on the Near East question than this board whose missionaries have labored in Eastern Turkey since 1836, and in the Balkans since 1859, and who have stood at their posts or followed their flocks into exile through all the horrible years of war and massacre and pestilence and famine which have desolated the birthplace of Christianity. It is not strange that the advice of these men should be sought in in- ternational matters but passing strange that their wise counsel is not more often adopted. Evanston is honored in being chosen as the meeting place of this body of consecrated men and women. Profitable and interest- ing hours may be spent in attend- ing the daily and evening sessions of the convention and in viewing the quite wonderful exhibits. They will teach us that A. B. C. F. M. is not a mere cryptic ar- rangement of letters of the alpha- bet but stands for lives devoted to the carrying out of the Great Commission as given to the world by the Master Missionary. "INEVITABLE" One wonders at the warp in the moral nature of a man who can phrase his philosophy of life as Charles Garland, the millionaire farmer of Massachusetts, gives as his: "I live my own life in my own way and if it brings hurt be- sond bearing to other people I can only say that I am sorry, but it's inevitable." A theory that leaves out of its body such things as duty and self sacrifice is a poor one upon which to erect a structure of life. Itis small wonder the "soul mate" is succeeded by "mental mate," that the wife of his youth finds the "hurt to be beyond bearing." Deep underneath the many, many cults with which people of today seek to satisfy their dis- satisfaction with life as it is, or as they have made it, is selfishness pure and simple. The determina- tion to escape the obligations that are put upon the conscientious brings up always the develop- ment of new theories that leave out the hard things in life. It may work for a while, but there will come the end when the empti- ness of living for oneself alone is reflected in loss of all those nor- mal ties that bind even though they may chafe at time. This it is that is inevitable. Rit yt A WAR GAIN To make Camp Grant into an industrial institution wherein morons may be segregated and taught how to perform set tasks satisfactorily enough to warrant wages would be to bring one good out of the war which we had not counted upon. It is one of the crying shames of the times that persons who are mentally irresponsible for what they do should be permitted to exercise the same liberty of action and the same privileges of citi- zenship which normal people enjoy. Protection of society from the taint which shows in the ab- normality of mental development ought to be a duty of the state. If the government is actually to un- dertake that obligation to the public through the conversion of the training camps into industrial slants in which vocational train- ng shall be given to the unfor- .unates, there is hope that the time is not far distant when there will be general recognition of the evil of the present easy-going way and proper care provided for all who are unfit for free intercourse 'with their fellows.
