ETY. is worthy the support of every.
American. 1t is the Bible that today
has made us what we are. No one can
estimate the good that will come to the
country from these books distributed
to these 100000 emigrants at the mos
ment they land upon our shores.
Best Blood in Service.
The best blood in our churches and
in our schools is consecrating itself to-
the missionary work The Y. M. G. A
lis doing magnificent work. Every
where in the world there are signs of
a great religious awakening. China is
perhaps on the eve of the greatest
awakening. Every once in while
God baptizes his people with the blood
of martyrs. China has had her bap-
tism. There is more demand now for
Bibles from China than anywhere else.
Commerce will be the great inflr-
ence in awakening and evangelizing
| China. Within the empire there is
enough coal and iron to supply the
whole world for a thousand years.
| With this as lodestone, drawing the
trading and commercial instincts tow
ard it, no power on earth can long
keep the Yankee and British trades
man out There is no flag in the
world today that is respected as is the
American. The United States does not
realize its tremendous opportunities
in this country.
| l prayed for the Beers in South Afri-
ca and would gladly have seen them
win, but verify believe that had they
driven the British out of the country 1T
would have put back civilization and
Christian missionary work at least half
century. In Porto Rico the Bible is
doing a great work in ameliorating the
condition of the poverty stricken peo-
pie, who have been under the bane OF
robbihg church system for 400 years.
The work of the American Bible soci;
ETY. is universal. In every land and
cline, among every people, wherever
a missionary society is working, wher-
lever school is planted, there our So
ciety is working, alike with Protestant
land Catholic.

has filed suit in the Wapello county
district court, in which he asks for
$3.50 damages as the result Of alleg-

states that the plaintiff, while employ
ed in the Morrell packing house in this

of an accident which resulted in the
fracture of his left leg about half way
