In spite of the early hour there was

II was once in a little Texas town
town where there was large cow
puncher<, leaning against wall, and
a little dapper fellow standing near
with the little-nickel-plated revolver
in his hand. By some means it went
off. The eow-puncher looked at him
a moment, and then remarked: Now,
If you shoot me on purpose l may for
give you; but if you shoot me by
accident, / may kick you out of town.
Now don't let us shoot ourselves by
accident, and put up the excuse that
we did not know it was loaded. Do
not go back to the old condition. Now
we have tried the experiment, we
have got good thing, and we should
stand by it. There are just two types
of men who are our opponents-ono
is the short-sighted foolish, and the
other is the unpatriotic type. Every
man who is worth his salt is proud
of his country. Every man who feels
keenly the honor of the flag, who re-
alizes the debt that all of us owe to
those who upheld the honor of the
flag in times gone by, should stand
with us to-day"

semi Chinese policy. "China built q
great wall about ITSELF" he said, "and
a similar attempt on the part of the

same arrested development. The
world was made for one people; the
people of various natioalities are
spreading over 1t; there must be open
doors. No one part of the earth
should be shut up for any race"
Rev. Thomas B. Neely, general sec
retary of the Sunday-Scheol union, in
an address said:
81 believe we will keep the terri
tory we have taken. But whether it
remains a part of the United States
or not, we have gone into those coun-
tries and we intend to remain. 1t is
not a matter of politics, but of provi-
dental duty that sent us there. II
God ever did anything for our benefit
it was when He gave us those islands

navy will stay in China until perfect
order has been restored, and the lives
of Christians have been insured for al
future time"
