A BAPTIST MISSIONARY IN CHINA

Ernst Won Hesse- Wartegg, In pa

We're compelled to abandon our west
ern dress. When he first came to Chi
ma to preach the gospel he considered
it hardly compatible with the dignity of
an American citizen TO wear piBtail
and felt slippers. Moreover. the west
ern dress appeared to him an advan-
tage in his mission, more liable to at
tract the attention and respect of the
population in the different places he
visited In fact, no effort was needed
to get an audience together, for great
crowds usually collected about him,
anxious to learn what the tall stranger.

between their fingers, touched his boots,
and interrupted him continually with
all sorts of questions--how the leather
boots were put on and off, where he got
the trousers, how much the materials
cost and where he had learned their
language-as II the God Whom he
preached interested them but little.
Tired of these continued Interruptions,
he at last determined to satisfy the GU
riosity of his listeners from the very
outset Arriving in the next village, he
addressed the crowd assembled about
him as follows: Brethren, hall from
America; my trousers are made of
wool stuff, to be got al Shanghai for
two tao per yard; my boots are made
of calfskin, and are put on in the same
way as the socks you are wearing;
your language I acquired in Pekin,
and I have come to tell you about the
true Cod" etc. This, however, salts
fed the audience but little. They wait
ed patiently till he had finished, and
then instead of approaching him,
crushed by the eternal truths, in order
to ask for baptism, they again began
questioning him about his trousers.

period of time given UP to digestion is
one of almost total eclipse of mental

In this day and age of concentrated

use a food especially adapted for re-
building the brain and nerve centers.
Grape-Nuts food was invented by an
expert especially for that purpose,

tanned in the grains and how to pre-

The proof can be had by any brain
worker who will take the trouble to use
Grape Nuts for a few days.
