CHRIST CALLED POETS POET.

u
Shakespeare, Browning, Emerson,
these write for the choice souls, the
leaders of mems thought. They are
not fascinating to the crowd.
But Jesus. WHO came of race of
poets as well as of a race of kings,
could speak in music which has been
ravishing the world ever since, en-
chanting the ignorant, while inspiring
the greatest geniuses among men.
His great ancestor, David, had this
gift, and His mother, Mary, ia mo-
ments of ecstasy, sang sweetly, but
Jesus invented a new method of ex-
preston, through which He poured
the sunshine of a new day upon the
deepest. loftiest problems of the hu-
man soul
He did not speak =. verse. He did
not need that aid. dis talk was poetry.
His life was a poem. Only "A born
poet could have seen Nature as He saw
her.
As He talks you hear the wind blow
and the sound of the storm and the
voice of the shepherd on the mountain
and the scoff and scum of life are
ma Ie to teach lessons of infinite beau

Influential officials continue in their de-

connection it is noted that the Chinese
board of war has ordered the yiceroys
TO furnish full information rs to the
number . f foreign-traiued troops availa
BILE for active service.
The viceroys of three Of the central
, -ovinces have reported that 5000 such
troops are in readiness. This tnques-
tionably is an exaggeration, as the great
majority Of the foreign-trained troops
exist only on paper
The Russian government is noting with

shown by the Chinese in making warlilse
preparations. under the guidance OF a
large number OF japanese instructors. ca

WHERE DOES CONVERSION END?


A clergyman has stated that statis-
ties show that conversion practically
ceases at the age of 3D. and has backed
up the fallacy by tabulated statistics.
That more children than adults were
converted simply reveals the weakness
of the church Comparatively little eff
fort is made to convert the adult, and
we are falling back ON these statistics
to ease our consciences.
In my own experience those over 20
are far more approchable and thought
full than the young. | recall time in
my ministry when fifty united with the
church on profession at one time, not
six of whom We're under 20 years of
age They are for the most part
heads of families, and the most marked
conversion was of a man nearly 20
years ef age. In the past year ninety
two have united with our hurch
Fifty of them Were on confession and
thirty-two were adults. Less than
one-half were under 20 years of age.
The bottom of these statistics will
drop out when we hold classes for
adults and have personal interviews
with them. as we dc for children, and
there is the vigorous Goctrinal preach
ing that influences a thoughtful man.

COMMERCE is ON GAIN.
Big Increase Shown In Practically
All Exports and Imports.


All Exports and Imports.
Details of eleven months commerce
Ior 1908 show an increase in practically
all exports and imports. Agricultural
products show an increase OF $4,000
200; forest, S10.0o0,000: mines, $S,OG0,-
600; manufactures. S50O0,000 and mis-
cellaneous articles. $1,000 900. Fisheries
show decrease of $1,000000. Manu-
features export figures for November
show $34,093.639, against $30,513,512
last year. Agricultural products show
S114, 112.255, against $50, 035 $50. The
increase in agricultural exports occurs
chiefly in cotton. The value of iron and
steel manufactures exported in Novem-
her was $T,9SS, 4l5. against IS, 110.924 in
November, 1902; So. 100 1913 in 1901, and
S10112,721 in 1900 For the eleven
months ending with November the ex-
ports of iron and steel manufactures are
$S9,6S5, POI in value, against 800 1876, 124
in the corresponding months Of 1902, and
S94, 112,7S2 in 1901. The total of all
manufactures exported during the eleven
months ending with November is $685.
76s, 1917, against $37T,757,3T6 in the cor
responding months of last year.
Imports for November show a decrease
of $S,000,000, compared with November
of the preceding year. Iron and steel
importations for the month were s., 300,
233, against $4T79,093 last year.
These figures would indicate that the
total commerce of the United States dur
ing the year will be greater than in any
preceding year, but that the total exports
viii fall few millions below those of
1900 and be about equal to those of 1901
but materially in excess of those of 1902,
while the total imports will exceed those
of any precc ding year, and, combined
with the exports, make the grand total
of commerce more than in any earlier
year; also that the exports of manufac
lures win exceed those Of 1902 by sew
eral millions, but will be somewhat be-
low those of the record year. 1900, and
perhaps 1901.
