Falmouth Outlook Friday 4 Mar 1921 Vol. 14 No 39 Pg. 3 Col. 2 Letter from Granbery College, Juiz de Fora, Brazil 16 Jan 1921 Dear Outlook Readers: – The last time I wrote, I tried to give some general ideas of this country, its products, etc. This time I will write a bit about the money situation. Perhaps it will be of some interest. Of course, the money sent from the U. S. to Brazil has to be exchanged for the money here before it can be used in Brazil. The rate of exchange varies greatly from time to time. The milreis is the standard here. The money of the missionaries is sent every month which give us a change to know the variations. One time since I came the dollar brought only three and one third milries. That was a year ago. Within the past year it has been steadily growing more, until now it is almost seven milries. The result of this is easily seen. The Brazilians who sell things in the States, such as coffee, rubber, etc., get a miserably low price for it; whereas when they buy things here and Brazil has been buying much here, they have to pay two prices. This situation greatly cripples the commerce between the two nations. I am told that there is much merchandise from the U. S. in the customs houses at Rio de Janeiro and Santos, the two great port cities of Brazil. The duty has to be paid on the value of the goods in milries which now makes the duty unbearably high. Coffee is the main crop of Brazil and the United States is one of the largest buyers; so Brazil has been hit hard by this condition of the exchange. Some men here have told me that they think American businessmen are largely to blame for this bad condtion, but I do not know how far this is true. It was reported not long ago that Brazil was borrowing a large sum from the U. S. but it seems that it did not materialize. Such a loan at this time would be disastrous to Brazil. The English Pound is really the basis of the exchange values in Brazil, but the pound has been very low within the past year. It seems that the center of the financial world is shifting from London to New York. This appears inevitable as about the whole world owes the U. S. since the war. This condition is undoubtedly the cause of a part of the criticism that is being heaped upon the States. The denominations of the money here are not very different from those at home. The nickel coins are two and one half, five and ten cents. The silver comes in twelve and one half, 25 and 50. These are the values when the milries is worth 25 cents, but now it is worth about 15 cents. Much more paper money, however, is used here than at home. The paper bills come in the 1 milries, 2 milries, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 milries; the latter being called one conto. This amount is $250 when the milries has a value of 25 cents. Any large amount of money here is said to be so many contos, just as it is called so many dollars at home. I do not know why but it seems that about all the paper money here is made by the American Bank Note Co. of New York. It is surprising the amount of American made articles that are sold here, and now it is also surprising the amount one had to pay to get them. Another time I will say a bit about the customs in the business world here. Anything however that may be said will not be in the spirit of criticism. Perhaps we can help Brazil some, but it will not be by criticizing the life and people here. May I say one word more, with the hope that I may not be misunderstood? The postal laws between countries are exacting as well as other laws. When a letter is sent out of the U. S. to Brazil with even four cents on it, five cents have to be paid here to get that letter. Many are sent with two cents, some with three, others with four; but it takes five cents to bring a letter here or to take it to any other foreign country. I am very glad to get letters here, even if I have to pay five cents to get them out of the office, but I am sure those sending them would be glad to put the required amount when they remember that it is five cents and not two, three or four. It often happens that bills come and we have the privilege of paying for the letters to get them as well as paying the bills. One other word, it is next to impossible to get anything sent here by parcel post from the States, and it always pays a high duty. This I will try to explain. First class registered or ordinary mail seems to arrive all right. This is our summer and rainy season. There is more rain this year than last. Fall begins in March and then the rain largely stops.

Early Cummins for County Judge Squire Early Cummins, of near Antioch Mills, at the earnest solicitation from friends in nearly every sections of the county, has decided to enter the race for County Judge of Pendleton County, subject to the decision of the Democratic party at the primary election to be held August next. His announcement will not come as a surprise, as he had been identified with the affairs of the county for the past several years, and is also an enthusiastic school man. Mr. Cummins has ably filled the office of Magistrate from the McKinneysburg district, to which office he was appointed in March 1919. His record as a member of the Fiscal Court has proven that he is competent to fill the office to which he aspires. He began to advocate progress at once, and in less than sixty days he had a committee appointed, of which he was one, to erect a ladies' restroom in the courthouse yard. His efforts did not cease until it was completed and a matron appointed to take care of same. He was placed on some of the most important committees and has served with credit and ability. He is a deep student of the road question. He has had a great deal of experience in builiding and repairing roads, and would be of great assistance to the Fiscal Court and Road Engineer. Mr. Cummins has been a life-long Democrat and a voter in the McKinneysburg precinct for the past twenty years. J.W. Elliott in race for sheriff of Pendleton John W. Elliott, of Anticoh Mills, has announced his candidacy for Sheriff of Pendleton county, subject to the action of the Democratic voter in the primary election, Saturday August 6, 1921. Mr. Elliott is a life-long Democrat of the old school, and has spent his whole life in Pendleton county, where he has held many minor offices of honor and trust, and has always given a good account of himself. Mr. Elliott has served two terms as Magistrate from the McKinneysburg precinct, and was a valuable member of the Fiscal Court during his incumbency, voting always for those measures which were designed for the best interests of the taxpayers. During Mr. Elliott's incumbency on the FIscal Court, he was also active in promoting any good and constructive movement in the county. He would make a Sheriff in whom every one could place their confidence and trust. Mr. Elliott has been a farmer all of his life, and by reason of this he better understands the needs of the farmers. For the past several tobacco seasons, Mr. Elliott has been connected with the Burley Tobacco Company on the loose leaf floors in Falmouth, and by his courtesy has made an army of friends who will be only too glad for this opportunity to reciprocate. .,.,Bracken County News Nim Andrew Turner, 29, and Miss Maude Taylor, 20, were united in marriage Jan. 1st at Mt. Olivet. The groom is a resident of Harrison County the son of Bela Turner, is a farmer and quite a worthy young man.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 9 Nov. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 23 Pg. 4 Col. 4 HOW CYNTHIANA SECURED ITS NAME IN EARLY DAYS Visitors laugh to learn how the little city there (Cynthiana) got its name. They are told that Robert Harris, the founder of the town had two daughters, one named Cynthia and the other Anna. When he cast about for an appropriate name he combined the names of his two daughters there he had it. – Maysville Independent Cynthia and Anna ere daughters of Robert Harrison, not Harris. Their father, says the historian, was a blacksmith, a good workman a gay, healthy, rollicking son of the wilderness, just the man for the times and his blooming young daughters, not then grown, were the favorites of all their father's customers and neighbors, just as the blooming girls of the city today are the favorites of all who like pretty, wholesome youthfulness. The name Cynthiana continues the historian, of course gave general satisfaction. But Robert Harrison soon sold out his rights to the soil, for his farm was already, in 1793 “laid off into convenient streets and alleys,” and before Cynthia and Anna reached womanhood the family removed to Portsmouth, Ohio. There he flourished in business; his family grew up and one of his daughters married a successful young merchant of Philadelphia and became an honored matron in a prosperous family of that city. When the town was “laid off into convenient streets and alleys,” pity the streets were not made wider. But the rugged blacksmith and his neighbors could not of course foresee the foray of motor vehicles that would clog traffic in 1923 any more than we can forecast the demands that will be made on a town a hundred years from now; or ten years for that matter. The Act of the Second General Assembly of Kentucky establishing the town of Cynthiana was approved Dec. 10, 1793. Isaac Shelby was then the first governor of Kentucky, George Washington was the first President of the United States; Napoleon had not been heard of; John Wesley had been dead only two years; Alexander Campbell was only two years old; Henry Clay was a youth of sixteen writing in a law office in Richmond, VA; Indians yet disputed the soil of Kentucky and the battle of Blue Licks had been fought two years before. A house built in 1790, directly in the rear of the court house yard on an alley, for years occupied by Hope Redmon, photographer, still stands and is used by the county as an office for road engineer and supplies. In olden times it was used successively as residence, court house, law office, printing office and perhaps church. Guthrie’s old arithmetic is said to have been printed in that house. Henry Clay there defended a fellow named House, accused of murder, in 1806. At the close of Clay’s brilliant speech says the historian, House’s wife, anything but a beauty, jumped up and kissed the orator, much to his embarrassment. Let’s hear how Maysville got its name. – Cynthiana Democrat ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Sept. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 15 Pg. 4 Col. 2 Letter From China On the 27th of this month a year will have passed since I left “My Old Kentucky Home” and so full has the time been with new and interesting experiences that scarcely can I realize that is has been so long. Our first six months spent in Peking, the historic center of China gave us a most favorable introduction into this foreign county. We were there mainly for our language study and every day from 8:15 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. minds were centered upon Chinese and what tone a certain word was. To relieve our minds from too much strain, social hours and sight seeing trips were arranged for us. We were privileged to meet many interesting people from all parts of U. S. A. and England, all of whom were preparing to go out into Evangelistic, Educational, Medical, Literacy or Industrial work. Our sightseeing trips took us to all places of historic interest in and around Peking. From the point of view of the history of religion, the Temple of Heaven is the most strikingly interesting place we visited. It was built in 1420 A. D. in the time of the Mings. For granduer of conception and plan, it ranks with or surpasses the cathedrals of Europe in the expression of man’s religious instinct crystallized into architecture. This piece of architecture is a monument to the one true God of Heaven. The white marble Altar of Heaven for the worship of Heaven, set with a low circular, blue capped wall, pierced by four white marble gateways leading the the Altar from each direction, fills the tourist with awe and wonder. It is here where the Son of Heaven (the Emperor)ascended once a year to intercede for the sins of the people and here amid the quiet stillness of the open sky who can say the true God of Heaven never heard and answered the sincere prayers of the Son of Heaven (the Emperor)! Since the revolution of 1911 no emperor has worshiped at the Altar of Heaven. After visiting the Temple of Heaven one does not dare say that the Chinese have no sense of the infinite spirit of the universe. One of our other trips was to the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. From Peking we traveled by rail for two hours then after reaching the station some of us rode donkeys, others walked to the place where we mounted the wall and there viewed the ruins of the past in all its majesty. It is said that the only man made monument upon the face of the earth which could be seen from the moon is probably the Great Wall. It stretches, as one huge dragon, over plain and mountain for 1700 miles. It is 20 feet wide at the base and 12 feet at the top and from 20 to 50 feet in height. It was built 21 centuries ago, requiring the labor of 20,000 masons and millions of other workmen ten years to construct it. Who can compute the number of lives that were devoured in its making! The entire wall contains 160,000,000 cubic meters. Only when we consider that every fifty miles of the wall would build one of the largest pyramids do we begin to realize what a prodigious mass it is. It was built for protection against the outside world, but today it is the crumbling skeleton of a dead dragon. To tell of the other pieces of interest we visited would prolong this indefinitely. We left Peking throughly fascinated with the city. It has a charm which seems to defy definition, but it is there. And why should it not have a wonderful charm, a city whose history covers a period of about 3000 years? Today we are in Pingtu, North China, Shantung province where we hope to be able to enter the work and help carry it on. Indeed a great work has been started here, but we feel the future has a promise of being much greater than the past. No other mission is doing work here, so the entire field is ours, and a big responsibility it is! Today we have 7,000 native Christians, 10 pastors, 29 churches and three more being built, 100 Bible women and colporteurs, 150 day schools with 4,000 enrollment, one boys boarding school with 200 attendance, but by means of the new buildings which are now under construction the enrollment can be increased next year, a girls boarding school with 125 enrolled, and a new hospital in charge of two foreign doctors and two foreign nurses assisted by the native doctors and nurses. Thus you can see we are carrying on work along evangelistic, educational and medical lines. There are boundless opportunities for work here. Every door is marked with the word “Push, ” and it is our duty to enter with the gospel message. We have a church here in Pingtu which will accommodate 400 or 500 people, but this is without the city wall. Within the city we have several Christians, but find it a difficult task to get the rich and higher class to be willing to give up their opium smoking, drinking and other immoral practices to accept the religion of the one True God. They are not hostile to us, often come to church and outwardly favor our religion, but inwardly they are still heathen. We hope to gradually gain a fuller entrance within the city walls and build a church there whose doors will be open at all times of the day and where wanderers coping on the darkness of sin may enter and hear the words of eternal life. Our rural evangelistic work is one of the most promising features of our work. Each of the 29 churches are visited every year by our evangelistic workers who spend several days with each church, teaching and encouraging the Christians and telling many of the true God, some of whom have never heard the name of Jesus. Everywhere they go a most hearty welcome awaits them and so eager are the people to hear that they are some times unwilling to leave long enough for the workers to eat their meals. Rural evangelistic work is not easy and one must often endure many hardships, but results are so gratifying that one is willing to spend his life going from village to village as our Master did, telling those buried in superstition and sin of Him who came and died for all people. The religious life of the students in our boarding schools is under the direction of those in charge of the school. The pupils attend Sunday school and church every Sunday and prayer meetings each week besides the special training by their instructors. Many of our students from the boys school go to our Seminary in Hwanghsien and prepare for the ministry. Into whatever walk of life the enter, is is our prayer that they will carry the teachings of Jesus with them. All forms of our work are mainly evangelistic, and if our school did not carry this aim foremost, our purpose for coming here would have been defeated. Every Sunday afternoon our women have their meeting and even though I can’t understand much they say, I enjoy going and always feel encouraged by their eagerness and earnestness. Their sacrificial spirit of giving could easily be followed by many of us. At the hospital every one who enters is told, by our evangelist and Bible women, of the Great Physician who can heal his soul as well as his body and it is the joy of the workers there to see many accept Him. In working among the Chinese one must be willing to put forth his best efforts and be patient to wait and watch for the results. As a race they are slow moving and this trait characterizes their every action. How directly opposite to our American race! When one first reaches China he is impressed with the number of walls which he sees on every side. Walls, Walls, Walls! Our imaginations are quite active in wondering what are behind them. Some are made of brick and are highly colored, others are of mud and resemble a pile of debris more than a wall. As one rides along the streets in a ricksha the occasional open doors are loopholes through which one may have fleeting visions of the Orient on all its majesty and fascination. Sometimes it is the glimpse of the flower garden of the rich, sometimes the squalor of wretched homes and courtyards which meet your eye. Often times it is an elaborately carved stone wall which cuts off the view of everything past the first court. The walls are typical of the Chinese. They all live behind the wall of their exterior, behind a wall of conservatism and appearance. To “lose face” is one of the worst things that can happen to them. They are always acting the part which will help them best preserve the desired exterior. But the walls of China are old and of an approved standing. It is not for us foreigners to hope to tear them away in order to know how to deal with the Chinese, but we must watch for loopholes through which we may get a glimpse of their hearts. During the past year we have given our time to the study of the language and of the characteristics of the Chinese people. One striking noticeable trait of these people is the inherent tendency to do things exactly opposite to the foreigner. A foreigner once made this statement to a Chinese and he immediately replied, “Sir, who was doing it first?” Of some of their customs and habits I shall write in another article.
