. CLZ CARLTON TALKS ON MISSIONA R Y TO Y. W. C. A. Secretary Of Student Volunteer Movement Exposes Prob lems of Mission THREE YEARS IN TURKEY "The three big moving facts that make missionary work a success and make it possible are, first, the big body of missionaries themselves; second, the belief between missionaries and converts that Clhri.st is universal, and that all the lands are to work together for common goal ; and third, the power of Christ Himself in missionary work," said Alfred Carleton, traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, while speaking be fore the Y. W. C. A. last week. Mr. Carleton is himself a missionary, having spent three years in Turkey as a teacher and missionary, and he is well acquainted with all the problems that are facing work in foreign fields. "I guess the two things that people don't want to be are missionaries and Turks," said Mr. Carleton. "I remem'>er being introduced at a meeting once, and when I was mentiot,ed as a missionary, someone in the crowd murmured, "I thought he looked kind of queer." Mis sionary work would not he worthwhile if there were not resources, but there are; the best one is the bunch of mis sioI,aries themselves. I suppose there are had ones just as there are had butchers, grocers, preachers and teachers, but it has been my good fortune to meet only the good ones. I know one man who stayed in Turkey to teach a hun dred and fifty '1'Trks instead of becoming president of the University of Minnesota. Medical missionaries are doing marvel. ous good. I know one who handled forty-one thousand cases in one year, four htndred of them major operations. "Christianity in Tnrkey is overcoming nary obstacles. The church is a bare hack, no roof, no chairs, cold. The -tverage inoome of a member is fifteen (lts a day, and many a man lives on Iread and water on Monday because he did not work on Stida.4 And over 'here is free hatred. '-he ''urk and the Armenian cordially hate each other, but they are living together, and are over coming this condition. The majority of them are Moslems. There are many good things in Mohammedan reli gion that I like," said Mr. Carleton, "and I would rather he a Moslem than any. thing else if Christianity did not exist, but there are two things against Moham imedanism. In the first place, their be kef in fatalism makes any progress al most impossible, and in the second place their religion is pirely selfish. ".\ issinnary work,'' concluded Mr. (Carletoni, "is tIhe b)ig task of spreadling Chbristiuanity thiroughoutil the enitire world. It is liecessary that we give them Christ while the nat ion is ill the biuilding."

Only four southern colleges were rep resented: Carolina, University of Geor gia,, University of Florida and Hollins College, Virginia. The conference encourages play days among girl's athletics rather than inter collegiate and class competition, and urges games in which everybody plays with everybody else instead of against them. It also sponsors outing clubs, and many novel and practical ideas were con tributed for this promotion. Aside front business there w-is a round of social life, a tea being given in the afternoon and a banquet in the evening, followed by dancing. The Dra matic Cluh put on three one-act plays for the benefit of the delegates. Last year the nattional convention met at Cornell, at which the University was representeed by Eirene Mayers.
