GREECE has within her borders
little more than 1000, 900 people, but
there are some 100000 Of Greeks
In the world, chiefly in the Turkish
Empire or in countries bordering on
it. Epiras and Thessaly and the ISL
and of Crete are decidedly Greek in
race, language and sympathy, while
conflicting claims are made by Greeks
and Bulgarians for preponderance in
Macedonia and even in parts OF Rou-
mania. Greece's great past makes
her people ambitious Of great future
and they never cease to dream of
once more having Constantinople as
the national capital. That will prob
ably ever remain dream, for Russia
and Austria bar the way. But the
present crisis at Athens probably in
wolves some secret move regarding
the carving up Of Turkey which will
be revealed before long.

OUR DEBT TO MISSIONS.

Whv shonld YOU feei q special interest in
foreign missionsP Because Of your special
indebtedness to them. This Is one OF the
MANY replies which may be given to that
question. Perhaps it is reply which many
have never considered. You may thank God
for the long line of Christian ancestry from
which you have sprung. You may 20 PACK
to the very times Of the Reformation, ana
count among the heroes OF those days some
whose blood is still coursing in your VEINS:
Rut 90 farther than that. Imagine btty OF
IN YOUR own home. Let them stand side by
side around the walls Of one OF your rooms; ;
first YOUR grandfather, and so on to the most
remote. Now what group have you before
YOU? While the nearer part of the line en-
braces the Christian ancestors OF whom you
boast. at the farther end they are line OF
sayaees, ignorant, degraded worshipers of
Thor and Wooden and the other gods OF the
Holland marshes, the German forests, the
Scandinavian mountains, or the brltsn
Isles. Never were there more al'soiute
heather beneath the sun. And what mas
transformed that line into the oeauiles ana
graces of Christianity which you enjoy! IL
was the arduous, perilous. ses-denylng
lnbors of missionaries from the shores OF the
Mediterranean, travelling the entire breadth
of Europe on foot, clamberlng over IFS
mountains, toiling through its weary forests,
sacrificing comfort and often fife, that they
might proclaim to those wretched savages the
love of Cod in Jesus Christ. Never were
there more devoted missionaries. Some OF
them have left their names on the scanty
annals of the church, but the most OF them
left no record on earth, but shining one on
high.
from their lips the debt of gratitude you owe
the foreign mission work they wrought,
whose influences have reached even down
to your salvation. How can you repay that
debt better than by doing what you can to
bring other h-athen to the same sweet hope
IN Christ hch you enjoy? Freely ye have ~.

Trees Growing on Court House Tower

Trees Growing on aCOurt-nOuSo AVHo1
A number of fine young naples ara
growing and hourishing on the court
house tower at Greensburg, Ind, 1S5
feet above ground. For years they havo
grown and multiplied, and recently began
to I put forth the first leaves OF returning
spring. There they have stood unpro-
tected from the scorching rays OF the
summer sun and the cold and freezing
blasts of winter. No human hand has
ever watered or cared for them. They
have depended solely on the elements
for their nourishment.
A short time ago, says the New Xork
World, the courthouse was repaired,
and the architect decided that the roots
of the largest tree, which Is about twelve
feet tall and three inches In diameter at
the butt, were lroseaing the heavy sand
stone cappings Of the tower. lie ae-
clarcd that in the interests OF public
safety and the future welfare OF the
tower the tree must be removed. As
soon as the intentions Of the architect
became known the citizens protested
against the proposed action, aud in re-
sponsc to the popular wish the grove
was left untouched.
