There are about half a dozen men
living somewhere in the interior of
the big African continent that the
English military authorities would like
to interview. And it wouldn't be q
long interview, either.
One Of these much-wantcd individ.
uals was formerly. a colonel in the
Russian army. but had to leave it
under disgraceful circumstances. An
other is Prussian ex-sergeant, who
also got into trouble at home. The
rest were European soldiers of various
cationalities.
All of them drifted into Egypt,
where they abjured Christianity, pro.
fessed Mohammedanism and joined
the forces of the Mahdi when that
strenuous party was at the height of
his power. Their military experience
made them valuable, and as the Arabs
thought their converts were sincere
and looked upon them with the utmost
favor, all obtained responsible posi-
tions in the army of the Mahdi.
The Mahdi and his followers were
cot inclined to deal any too gently with
Christians who fell into their hands,

aious Connections.
Admitting that knowledge Of Pres.
byterianism is far less important than
knowledge of Christianity and the
evangelical truths, We still claim that
1t has an Importance of its own kind.
How can we hope to keep. within the
membership of our own church those
who do not know anything about our
distinctive principles and history? II
we allow them to think that one
church is as good as any other, that
it is matter of Indifference to what
church they go. that the differences
of doctrine, worship, and government
which distinguishes our church from
others are all trivial differences, not
worth teaching publicly or privately.
why should they not let their church
connection be determined by their
social associations. or chance whims,
or the toss of penny? Is it strange
that the daughter follows her husband
out of our church. and the son also
respects the preference Of his wife
for another church? Is it strange
that the Presbyterian family, moving
into new locality, passes by the
Presbyterian church for no other rea-
son than merely social reasons? What
reasons do they know for adhering to
their own church?-Pittsburg Banner.

In these days of fast motoring and

to recall that it YVES in july. 1929,
some little time before George Ste
phenson had solved the problem OF
steam transport, that Sir Goldsworthy
Quincy made his famous journey in a
''steam carriage" from London to
Bath and back. Quincy was surgeon
in Marylebone, greatly given to the
working out of inventions in his spare
time. and it took him some years to
complete his first motor" in his
backyard in Albany street. He &C.
complished the journey to and from
Bath at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour, and there was only one disturb
ing incident. when crowd assembled

farming for his own profit, says the

of the farmers OF the entire country,

experiments by the experts in the enl-
ploy of the government.
For more than a year laborers have
been engaged in clearing the land and
preparing it for crops. Modern build

within short time the farm will be
in full operation. Breeding Of superb
