Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 2.—In an in-
terview on the relations of Mexico
and the United States, Dr. S. A. Neb-
lett, one of the secretaries of the Cen-
tenary commission of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, declared
that there is very little anti-sentiment
in Mexico, and that the masses of the
people have no desire to get into war
with the United States.
Dr. Nebltt has just returned from
Mexico, where he has been on a mis-
sion for the church. He has lived
for many years in Cuba and is thor-
oughly conversant with all the affairs
of Latin America.
“I talked with people of all classes,”
said Dr. Neblett, “and find no anti-
American sentiment nor desire to get
into war with us. The masses of the
people are going about their business
with no thought of taking up arms
against their big neighbor. I read

You don’t take a position or hold
an opinion without believing you
have good cause, do you?
Give the other fellow credit for sim-
ilar sincerity.
You think he ought to keep still
while you talk. You think he ought
to hold his mind open to conviction,
You think he ought to yield if it can
be shown that he is wrong.
Do you imagine he doesnt’ think the
same about you?
Do you imagine that he has not
reasoned his side of the case out by
the same process you yourself em-
ploy?
Do you imagine that you hold a
mortgage on all the logic in the dis-
pute?
He walks on two legs, just like you,
doesn’t he, and sees out of two eyes
and hears with two ears and has the
same kind of a think tank?
Don’t start off with the supposition
that he is a fool, or an imbecile, or a
lunatic, because he happens to differ
with you.
You may be wrong yourself. You
have been wrong before, and you ad-

self.
The other fellow may be wrong, too,
but, take it all in all, you and he are
about equal when it comes to making
mistakes.
You think him obstinate and unfair
because he wants the first word, or
the last, but how about, yourself?
You consider him something of a

you have hollered yourself hoarse,

if we are to have peace with Mexico ,
and a stable civilization in that coun-1
try. Seventy-five per cent of the
Mexiacns today are unable to read
and write. It is for this reason any
democracy which is established is
more or less unstable, but the schools-
which the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, have established in the north-
ern sphere of states are edlcating
the people, and with this education
comes ability to manage governmental
affairs.
Though the Centenary Commission
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, all of these schools will be
enlarged and equipped for their work,
More missionaries will be sent,
churches will be erected, and a gen-
eral scheme of social service will be
inaugurated.
As a result of the Centenary Move-
ment, which has recently raised
$53,000,000 for missionary work in the
lands of the world, a great forward
step will be taken in the civilization
of Mexico. 1'
Of the Centenary fund more than
half a million will be spent in Mexico
and several hundred thousand dollars
' will be spent among the Mexicans on
1 the American side of the border.
