korea's Transparent Paper.

Were 1t not for their laziness, the
people of the Korean Peninsula might
have become a wealthy nation, 70:
their land is one of unbounded
natural resources. Centuries ago, ere
they became as indolent as they are
to-day, they had an art Of making q
wonderful sort OF paper. Thousands
of tons of 1t were shipped annually
into China, and as there was no other
country to produce it, the industry
died when the Korean grew tired OF
getting what was coming to him.
Grass paper 1t was called. The
leaves were not used for writing pur
poses, but were stepped in oil until
they became transparent, like win
dow glass. Then they were used as
window panes. Being less brittle
than glass. they lasted longer than
any panes ever invented, and the in
dustrious Cinnamon who imported
the grass learned how to fake a Leaf
into beautifully transparent surface
not half as thick as 1t was in the be-
ginning.

The Work Of Christian Women in Non
Christian Lands. Acts 16. Ills;
Phil. q. 8; Rom. 16. 1, 2.

Women appear in the very opening
of the Gospel dispensation, and con
tinue to be conspicuous all through IT.
The Saviour found many women
among his first followers who minister
ed to him faithfully while he lived;
and when he died they performed the
last sad rites of love. The apostles
would have made slow progress with
out the help of the women converts
At the present time not far from two
thirds of the church membership Is
composed of women. Is it not fair to
assume that women soon came to have
the preponderance in numbers in the
early Church? Christianity raises
women from the contempt into which
all other religions plunge her, and so
1t is no wonder that women have al
ways been eager to follow Jesus
Woman's moral nature is stronger
than mans, and her affection is strong.
or than mans. We may be stronger
than women in will and executive
force. We deal with matter and
worldly things: but those forces that
feel with sentiments and moral
truths are stronger in women than in
men. Women are constitutionally
stronger in religious tendencies than
men. 1t is not because they are
weak, but because they are strong

church at Cenchrea, one OF the three

thus deep and broad distinction between
Christian courage and any form OF stole

praise for a Christian to say that he never
makes mistakes. You might in these same
terms praise stone in the pavement or
knothoe in board. The real question is
whether the Christian is attempting any.
thing for Christ. Ii so, he will be sure to
make mistakes; we may say. indeed. with.
out irreverence. that God intended him to
run the risk OF blundering. for that seems
to be the only way OF learning open to Us
