 Great Opportunity.
IMPORTANCE OF MISSIONS

The Rev. Dr. J. A, Duncan, pastor of the First Methodist church. preached yes- terday morning at that church on the subject of Gods Providence to the Ma tons"
 Dr. Duncan emphasized the necessity of peace between Russia and Japan, and the importance of intervention of tho President in an effor to effect an agree ment between the two nations He saiG that what was wrongly considered nat onal honor would probably prolong the struggle.
 Taking his text from Acts 22:21. T will send thee far hence to the gentlles," pr. Duncan said:
 Few things are more interesting than the great movements in human history. When we look at the vast monuments buried in the sands of ages we cannot help wondering how it came to be that these great evidences of civilization should be all that is left to tell of entire nations who played important parts upon the great world stage.
 The history of the past is a history of the struggle of nation with nation for supremacy, for conquest, for added terri tory.
 Ine great SlTuBSle we ndNe Detn NlN- messing for more than a year between Russia and Japan had It's origin in nat ional selfshness, and it looks very much as though thing that Is foolishly called national honor is going to prolong that struggle
 In the text we have the beginning of a great world movement, the first in human history that is purely unselfsh A man is chosen by God himself to carry to the sons of men truth that shall change not only the map of the world. but the very forms of government under which the different nations lived. The man who is called upon to do this work does not wish to do it. He loves his own people with a burning depth of devo- ton such as few men have ever possessed. With such love for them he feels that he has a mission to them, and that he should be allowed to stay at home and deal with them. It is difficult for him to believe that his own people will not listen to what he has to say when they know his history.
 Ills devotion, however, Is the very req son for choosing him. It Is the man who loves that the God of Love send forth to proclaim the love of God to men. This man knows who love is and filled with 1t, to use his own phrase, constrained by It he goes to proclaim the gospel to the heather, the first great foreign mis- sionary.

LARGE CROPS.

a correspondent writes to us that Mr.. Corbin
Cody has raised 1926 bushels of corn on IA
acres OF ground. This, supposing the ground
and corn have been correctly measured, is a
very large yield. The corn, it is stated, was
planted 3 feet each way, three stalks in hill, and
the ground had been heavily lined and man
ured. The corn crop, in the county, is much
more than an average one this year; and all our
agricultural productions are more than usually
abundant.
