of his experience. He was gradually
working out plan FOR his business re-

opening up a new world to him and
them A few of the younger men told
of special attempts to answer the ques-

There was almost general consent
over the fact that the application of
the Jesus spirit and practice to every
day life was the serious thing. It re-
quired knowledge Of him and an in
sight into his motives that most of them
did not yet possess.
When they finally adjourned after
silent prayer that marked with grow
ing power the Divine presence, they
went away discussing earnestly their
difficulties and seeking light from one
another.
Rachel Winslow and Virginia Page
and Milton Wright became SO interest
ed in their mutual conference that they
walked on past Norman's home and
came back together. Jasper Chase and
the president of the Endeavor society
stood talking earnestly in one corner of
the room Alexander Powers and Henry
Maxwell remained even after all the
others had gone.

shops tomorrow and see my plan and
talk to the men. Somehow feel as if
you could get nearer to them than any
one else just now
ST don't know about that, but will
come,' replied Henry Maxwell, lit
tie sadly. How was he fitted to stand
before 900 or 800 workingmen and give
them a message? Yet in the movement
of his weakness, as he asked the ques-
ton, he rebuked himself for it. What
would Jesus do? That was an end to
the discussion.
He went down the next day and
found Alexander Powers in his office.
It lacked few minutes of 10, and the
superintendent said, "Come up stairs,
and I'll show you what I've been try

ing the positions of the Chinese army
and the fact that the advance upon
Pekin is made by two columns, one on
each side of the Pei river.
The international force, as given by
General Chaffee, would aggregate about
$4,000 men, while the other dispatches
say 5000, but this difference can easily
be accounted for, as more men might
have been available when the move
ment began than when the conference
was held on the Sd inst. This, confer
ence is supposed to have been between
the several command ders present at Tien
Tsin. It is evident that the foreign
commanders do not underestimate the
task which they have before them, as
the dispatch shows that q thorough
reconnaissance Of the Chinese position
had been made and that even before
the advance Of the international force

Chanosllor OF the Exchequer Explains
Early cloaing Of subscriptions.
LONDON, Aug. Sin the house Of
commons Mr.. Benjamin Louis Cohen,
Conservative member Of the east divi-
sion Of Islington, asked the chancellor
Of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, the reason Of the
early closing Of the subscriptions
for exchequer bonds. The chancellor
said the lists were closed as soon as the
bonds had been subscribed for. He had
received an offer from an Anglo Amer
ican house TO place half the issue in
America on the same conditions
as issned here. This, he added,
assured the success Of the loan.
But, there was another reason.
Last Thursday, the reserve of the Bank
Of England stood at the lowest point for
years, and he was advised that great
relief might be afforded here by the
movement Of gold from the United
States if large part Of this loan (e10,.
