Morrison went to China in 1908 and in
80 years there were but siv converts.
Look al China today eagerly turning
to the light, begging for the Christian
school and the ingatherng in some
Nor need tarry but a moment to call
your attention to the wonderful
changes in the empire of Japan, which

of the Christian civilization of the west
the world. History has been making
rapidly in the Orient as we'll as in the
Occident, and God is in it ALL
Second. Marvellous as the changes
have been in the section since Marcus
Whitman began his great work, they
are as nothing compared with what is
before us. Millions are to people this
fair portion of our land. Your wheat
and lumber and mineral wealth will
make you rich indeed in outward
things, but this is nothing compared
with those things which are the true
sources of greatness. In the words Of
President Roosevelt, Back of the ma
terial and greater than the material is
the moral and spiritual" 1t is because
Marcus Whitman came to this territory
20 years ago and planted a Christian
civilization that there VIII be churches
and school houses planted upon the
hilltops and in the valleys of these
great states. Men across the seas
will come here and plant homes, will
find the true riches and will help to
spread the knowledge of God into the
uttermost parts of the earth. In the
Boxer outrage in China the station at
Lin Ching was one of those destroyed.
In the partial reconstruction that has
come the whole expense of the native
work that the American board mas
been able to undertake is being paid
for by Dane in Nebraska. SO we
must save our fair land that we may
fulfill our mission as trustees for the
nations who have not yet known of our
Christ.
After this wholly inadequate attempt
to interpret this wonderful life Of
Whitman as seen in the providence Of
God in the unfolding years, may we
not wisely pause and pledge anew to
one another and to God our loyalty to
Him and to the nation we love? There
is a most telling incident in the life
of Whitman which is suggestive of the
man. When he with his little group
reached the summit of the Rockies and
saw the wonderful beauty and grand
eur of the hills and valleys as they
stretched onward 20 the Pacific, they
halted in their journey to give thanks
unto God. Putting their blankets on
the ground they unfurled the stars and
stripes, placed the Bible in the centre
Of the company and prayed. Thus may
we put that Bible into the centre of all
our plans. Let us be loyal to the old
flag which represents SO much of hope
for the world, and then with earnest
prayer to the God of the nation and
The church, grid ourselves anew to
conquer our land and the whole world
for Jesus Christ. Thus, and thus only,
can we be worthy Of our Pilgrim an
cestors and the men like Whitman, who,
in toll and service and blood laid the
foundations of these Christian COM
monwealths.

PART TWO-CHAPTER XIII.

Mrs. Maxtead paused with her fingers
on the handle of Annals door. Eight
days had passed since the night of the
storm at Trescar. and she was once
more in her town house. Her fingers
moved restlessly for a second. then the
handle turned, the door yielded, and she
entered the room. A light air came
through the window; the sun danced
gayly from the mirrors to the floor. She
turned directly toward the bed.
II have been awake all night" she
said. like a girl after her first dance
The stage and the audience and you
kept whizzine through my brain like

Superb How do YOU feeI?"
Anna was sitting up in bed; she looked
fragile and tired: her face. in contra st

wrapper or the pillows that propped her
up. On table by her side was a tray

voice was very low.
Mrs. Maxtead began folding and sort
ing the papers. 1T has been the most
awful week of my life. There were
times-but that doesn't count now Last
night compensated for everything. Last
night was like the lifting of a coffin-lid

There was a note in the last word
that Anna had not heard before. Its
appeal cut through her; she suddenly
raised herself.
..Oh. Jeanner' she said brokenly. I'm
doing my best. Indeed. Indeed, I'm do
ing my best, II you care for me the
IittIcst bit, don't question me any

Mrs Maxtead walked round to her
former position beside the bed and laid
her hand on the girls shoulder. But
Anna pushed it excitedly aside
