SENDS WORD TO THOSE
WHO ARE DISCOURAGED

At the First Presbyterian church yes
terday the Rev. Frank De Witt Tai
mage preached a sermon on the blbli-
cal passage, stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord" He said in
part:
ITO fall back, in order to go forward;
to retreat, in order to advance; to
evacuate. In order to conquer; aye, that
is the course most great military chief
tains have had to take. at least once in
life, before they won their ultimate
triumphs. Such a line of tactics won
for our nation that independence, the
anniversary festival of which we are
soon to celebrate.

The announcement came as a sur

Rev. Mr.. Ruess went to Harvard uni
versity to prepare himself for his life
work.
Both young people are well known in
Los Angeles, having spent the greater
part of their lives here.
Miss Knight has been prominent in
the work of the Y. w. C. A., and has
taken a strong interest in the welfare
of the young women of Los Angeles.
Had Remarkable Career
The Rev. Mr.. Ruess was raised in
Los Angeles. His career has been a
remarkable one and his friends point
to his success as an indication Of what
determination can do for one.
For several years he worked actively
In the Church of the Unity, where he
met Miss Knight. They soon became
fast friends. This intimacy soon be-
came more than friendship and their
engagement was announced to a few
close friends.
Christopher Ruess then went to Har-
ward university to prepare himself for
the ministry,1 he having decided to
make this his life work. He distin-
guished himself at the university by
his scholarship, despite the fact that
he had to make a living while he at
tended college. This he did by tutor
ing and clerical work, graduating with
honors.
Shortly after leaving the university
he was called to the Church of the
Unity in Alameda and under his guild
ance that congregation has grown and
prospered materially.

FEATS THE HIND00S DO
Amazing Tricks Performed With Ut-
most Ease
From the Omaha Bee. .

From the Omaha Bee. .
The dexterity o. the Hindoos in
tumbling and rope-dancing and leger-
demain is so much superior to that of
Europeans and Japanese that the
statements of travellers on the sub
ject were much doubted until they were
brought to this country.
Nothing Is more common in India
than to see young girls walking on their
heads, with their heels in the air, turn
ing round like a wheel or walking on
their hands and feet with the body
bent backward. Another girl will bend
backward. plunge her head into a hole
about eighteen inches deep, full of wat
er and dirt and bring up between her
Two women may frequently be seen
dancing together in rope stretched
over tressels, the one playing on the
vina, or Hindoo guitar, the other hold
ing two vessels brimful of water and
capering about without spilling a drop.
One of them will sometimes balance
herself in a horizontal position, with
her arms extended like person swim
ming, on the top of bamboo pole
ninety feet high fixed in the ground.
In a short time she seems to have lost
her balance and falls, to the no small
terror of the spectators, but this is only
one of her customary movements: she
catches by one foot in a rope fastened
to bar which crosses the middle of the
pole and remains suspended with her
head downward.
A plank is sometimes fixed to the top
of a pole twenty-five feet high, which
is set upright; a man climbs up It,.
springs backward and seats himself
upon the plank. Another mountebank
balances himself by the middle of the
teen feet high. He first sets 1t upright
and then climbs up 1t with his legs
and arms, as If 1t was firmly rooted
tree On reaching the top he clings to
1t with his feet and hands after fixing
the center of the pole in the middle of
all directions to the sound of music
without the pole ever losing its equi-
librium. He then descends. takes a
hoy on his shoulders. climbs up the
pole again and stands on the top on
one leg.
Sometimes a boy lies across the ex-
tremity of the bamboo and holds him
self quite stiff for a considerable time.
A man lifts up the pole and the boy
in that state and moves them about
in all directions without losing the
balance.

Special 10 The Herald
NEW YORK, March 25.-The changes
which are taking place in China in re-
gard to the attitude OF the Chinese
toward Americans and other foreigners
Is indicated in remarkable way IN
advices just received from a missionary
In Chinan-fu by the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions, recording the re-
cent acts Of His Excellency, Chou-fu,
governor of shantung province, III
which Chinan-fu Is situated.
This governor is now over 20 years
of age, and his ability and energy are
shown by the fact that he has within
the last two years opened military
school, reorganized the police force Of
the city, and has constructed in its
environs several miles of macadamized
road. To superlntend these schemes he
employs three Germans and an Aus
trian. He has also esta blished fac
tory where goods such as rugs, silks,
furniture and jinrikshas are now made
by modern methods. He has erected
mint for the coming of the new cur
rency which, according to recent
treaties China must now use. He en-
gagged two skilled Japanese to develop
the silk industry of the province by
the introduction of fresh cocoons from
Japan and a better grade of mulberry
trees from the south, as also more
scientific way of treating the cocoons
He has engaged three japanese to sup
erintend large agricultural college
with over 200 students. A school of
forestry Is soon to be opened under
Japanese supervision.
Nor is this progressive Chinese gov
ernor backward in charitable enter
prises. He has opened an industrial
school for the aged and for foundiings,
and has established in two parts of the
city not conveniently reached by the
medical work of the Presbyterian for
eign board free dispensaries. In this
work he employs a German eye spec
ialist. But his crowning achievement
Is the recent completion after eighteen
months work of a plant costing $25,-
600 for the Imperial Shantung college.
This is the institution of which the
Rev. DR.. w. M. Hayes was formerly
president. The college is admirably
situated and has accommodations for
600 students, with 400 now in attend-
ance. A $4,000 plant provides electric
| light steam and hot and cold water
In addition to an American, Mr.. Good
cell, the governor has this year added
to the teaching staff a German OF
unusual ability as linguist to teach
German and French and an English
man to teach chemistry and physics
OF lesser note is normal school under
Japanese teachers.
The governor has also opened a large
number of prefectural and district
schools throughout the province. Last
year he sent fifty students from the
normal school to Japan for a nine
months trip of observation and study.
His attitude toward the Christian re-
ligion was shown by his request that
DR.. Richard should send him copies of

Subscription Laws.

So much has been said regar ding
the laws governing subscription ac-
counts with newspapers that we
print synopsis of the laws for the
benefit of our readers:
| l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their SUD-
scriptlon.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them
until arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
postoffice to which they are directed
they are responsible until after they
have settled their bills snd ordered
the paper discontinued.
| 4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er and the papers are sent to the
former address, subscribers are held
responsible.
). The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue taking it, otherwise the pub
! Usher is authorized to send it and the
subscriber is responsible until an ex-
press notice with payment of all ar
rearages are sent to the publisher.
s. The latest postal laws are such, a
newspaper publisher can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused"
and have post card sent notifying
the publisher, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same as for theft.
