general, emerging from the chaos of

How Christ Would DO il.

SCme one writes an article IN the
Brooklyn Eagle and says: =! read
so much in different papers about how
Christ would run things if lie was on
earth. that will give You my idea
how Christ would run church.
He would drive out ali hypocrites.
He would demoiish the places called
churches and built to cater 10 the
rich only.
He would try to redeem the sinner.
visit the sick anG feed the hungry.
He would preach in places where
the poor As well as the rich would be
welcome.
He would arrange to have it 81 the
poor mans seat would be as good as
the rich mans.
He would mind his own business
He would leave politics ont of the
church.
He would purify the church, then
politics would purify themselves.
He would have around him men OF
character aud not men known for their
wea lth alone.
He would make such changes in the
running of the church that it would
make the hair of some ministers curl.
He would drive out of the church
all lottery and grab games.
He would object to ministers who
claim to have faith in God to keep
and feed them. and at the same time
demand from $1,000 to $50. 900 a year
salary.
He would make the church so that
sinners would flock TO it instead of
going the other way.

The Great Ii Talks.

The following from Ii Hung Chang
is worthy of careful perusal. If We
We're pinned down closely We might
have to admit that there is much
truth in what he says:
You speak of the persecution ot
christians. Well, let us ass ume that
a couple of hundred of our Buddhists
went TO your country to convert your
people and 10 preach that, for in
stance. that unless they wanted 10 be
eternally damned they must refuse to
submit to compulsory army service,
merely because the new religion they
have imposed upon them says so.
Your missionaries ask our people
every day in the year 10 break the
laws Of this country and refrain from
obeying the laws. As TO the persecu-
tion of christians. our government
has never engaged in any nor encour.
aged any. Christians have been
killed just as Chinese are
killed in san Francisco. New York.
in the Dutch Indies and where not.
We employ no missionaries. no
proselyte makers of any kind. We
are not proud, but We are too smart
to prescribe to anybody the fashion
in which ne should pray to his God.
We never ask living being to wOr-
ship as we do. One of the most per-
nicious and dangerous of your lido
syncracies is to ask and to force peo-
pie TO subscribe to a certain mode OF
worship. We never do it,

MISSOURI CROP CONDITIONS
crops IL Some Localities are suffer-
ing For Want Rain.

| In portions of the northern and
western S'c'lons, particularly in the
northwestern counties, all growing
crops ale beginning to suffer from
lack Of moisture.
The greater part of the corn crop
has now been laid by in good condi-
tion, and the early fields are in silk
and tassel. In many of the north
western and a few of the northeastern
and southwestern counties corn is
badly in need of rain, and will be cut
short unless rain comes soon b,,
elsewhere the crop continues unusual-
ly promising except in some of the ex-
treme southeastern counties. where
many fields have been lost owing to
the recent heavy rains. Chinch bugs
are doing considerable damage to
corn adjonrning wheat fields in few
counties.
Cotton in the southeastern counties
has improved somewhat during the
week, but Is generally in poor condi-
ton. Some Is now in bloom.
Wheat stacking and threshing. oat
harvest and haying have progressed
rapidly under very favorable condi-
tions, except that in some of the west.
ern counties high winds ripened tim
othy prematurely and made it difficult
to handle Wheat is generally turn
ing out we'll, with grain of good quail
lty. Yields of twenty-five bushels Der
acre are reported in some localities
Oats are also a heavy crop as a rule.
though considerable damage by rust
Is reported in few northwestern
counties.
Apples and peaches continue dron.
ping, and the outlook for the frnit
crop grows less promising with each
succeeding week.

The w heat crop.

Dun's Review: The crop year for
grain is over, and the outward move
ment of wheat has not been stopped.
although somewhat diminished BY the
vagarles of prices. While exact fig
ures for the year will not be known
for some days to come. they differ
very little from 400, 600. 600 bushels of
wheat and corn together. which was
almost exactly the quantity exported
last year. while in ls9s it was slightly
larger. 1t is now asked by the most
conservative whether Indian corn has
not at last crept into such favor. in
place Of other grain. that a larger
quantity of it will be required hereaf-
ter. lessening the strain in this conn-
try when wheat is in short supply.
and without curtailins the supply to
the world needs or the sum due to
this country on balances. 4 single
moderately short wheat crop might
change all calculations in this respect
for the future.

Cairo Citizen: Up to The last three
weeks the wheat never vas better in
yield and quality, out the rain mas
made the grain eprout in the shocks.
Sprouted wheat is worthless. All the
life goes out in the sptout. the farmer
who is careful to separate his wheat
and lay aside the cap bundles which
always sprout first may receive for
his grain much higher grading. than
where il is mixed. me good and the
sprouted. Then the wheat will scarcely
grade at all. All the wheat in this
