we DO not realize the condition OF af-
fairs In the far of countries OF China,
Arabia and Persia and that the natives
OF those countries regard us unci-
vilized and barbarous as we consider
them. He remarked that In many in
stances we think only OF the commercial
side, when we should realize, that the
people don't care for our wares. but de-
sire our love, sympathy and compass
sion. Men can exist without love and
