A Horse and q Cow.

When In my teens, milking seven
cows morning and evening and toiling
on the farm all day, | made favorites
of a bay mare and Durham cow
Molly and Bess. Talk about your
physical sympathy! Why, it was pa
thetic. Molly was my saddle horse, q
single footer of rare excellence. l
could ride her with one finger on the
reips into the most forbidding places.
Old Bess-oh, she used to kick tooth
out once In awhile and put her foot in
the pail Of MILK but the dear girl
would follow me about with the afrec-
bon of a child Well, was absent
from the old home Ave years and re-
turning found that of all the animals
only Molly and Bess remained. I'M
agine my distress when Molly refused
10 notice me at all! While wondering
at this loss Of friendship felt warm,
rasplike thing going over my hand,
which was behind my back. Turning,
I saw dear old Bess. Without notice
she had come to lick me. IL ever AMI
NAL spoke with eyes and manner she
did. Her happiness at seeing me again
after so long a period was apparent to
all observers, and during my brief stay
at home 1t was all I could do to keep
her from following me into the house.

One Of the most famous OF American
shipping lines in the palmy days of our

between Philadelphia and Liverpool,
SAYS the author Of Memoirs OF Charles
II. Cramp." BY this line John Ran
dolph Of Roanoke determined to go to
Russia when he had been appointed
minister TO that country by President
Jackson. Entering the office OF the
company in Philadelphia. he said to a
clerk In bis usual grandiloquent man.
ner:
'Slr, wish to see Thomas p. Cope"
He was shown to Mr.. Cope's office.
81 am John Randolph Of Roanoke"
he said. II wish to take passage 10
Liverpool in one of your ships"
II he expected to be rendered pass
he was grievously disappointed.
81 am Thomas Cope" replied the
head of the line. "If thee goes aboard
the ship and selects thy stateroom and
will pay $50 thee may CO."

A Timely Shake.

Some years ago the Duke OF Con-
naught visited Japan and was taken
by Sir Edwin Arnold round the bazars
Of Tokyo, where he bought many curl
GUS toys and specimens of japanese
art. In the evening he remarked to
Sir Edwin that he had seen most or
the sights, but had not experienced
any OF the earthquakes which are so
common In Japan.
81 suppose you cannot show me
oneY' said the duke jestingly.
Immediately the house shook, the
chandelier swayed backward and for
ward, the china and glass on the table
ratified, and the door burst open.
"why, Sir Edwin, you are magi-
cianp' remarked the duke as the shock,
which had happened at so curious q
moment, subsidized.

Atlantic BillOvvs.

The authorities of the United States
photographic bureau have endeavored
to ascertain the size of the Atlantic
waves. From careful observations
they learn that In height the waves
usually average about thirty feet, but
In rough weather they attain from
forty to forty-eight feet. In storms
they are often from 800 to 600 feet
long and continue to move about ten or
eleven seconds, while the longest yet
known measured half a mile and did
not exhaust itself for twenty-three sec

THE PROGRESS OLE rnE FORWARD MOVEMENT

During the last year one hundred and thirty
churches have been enlisted in the Forward Move
ment. These churches have subscribed more than
$4,000 for Foreign Missions the year increasing
their offerings the previous year to the amount
OF nearly $4,000. Many of smaller churches
are among this number, and from many of these we
have received our largest proportonate increase 4
number OF Nomans Missionary Societies. Sunday
schools and Dung Peoples Societies have also adopt
ed the plan of the Forward Movement for making
their gifts. Some of them have taken one or more
$4,000 shares number OF individuals also have
undertaken the support of their own missionaries
Three business men in the church, who were already
supporting missionaries, have taken additional ones
during the year and these three men are now sun.
porting eleven missionaries.
1t Is gratifying that with few exceptions the
churches which entered the Forward Movement three
years ago have renewed their subscriptions and are
loyalty helping the work to-day. This movement il
spreading with increasing power among the churches

At the last meeting of the Council there were re-
ported $40 congregations under the charge of AZ
listers. Our mission reported % congregations and
. ministers. As each congregation has preaching
from to three times IL week and many of them
nave Sunday schools 1T appears ut that great
many native workers must be employed to conduct all
OF these services not to speak of going preach
to the heather. The salaried helpers will average
about two to the minister while the service of the
Others is entirely labor of love and most of them
are poverty stricken. They cannot buy books they
cannot give much time to study. Now to develop
them is serious problem. The general plan has
been to have training classes for them once or twice
a year for two weeks a month at a time Our
last annual meeting planned for three grades of
classes The first class is to meet at Kunsan, Jan.
LIST, and to run three weeks Only leaders and ac-
tive church workers to be enrolled. From the
three stations about hundred and twenty five at
PENDANTS are expected. There to be four divis-
ions, according to advancement Besides the mem
bers OF this station, brethren from Chunu and
kwangju and from Pyang Yang of the Northern
Presbyterian Mission, expected assist in the
teaching. Each attendant is pay his travelling
expenses and'about two-thirds of his board. We are
praying for and expecting great blessing at that
time.
The seconds grade classes are to be held at each of
the three stations for their respective constituency
In these classes any member catechumen NAV be
enrolled The attendance will probably be a hun
dred or more in each.
Glasses of the third grade are to be held in as
many OF the churches practicable and the more
advanced helpers may be employed teachers
FIVE OF the helpers have been admitted candi-
dates for the ministry. -Four them have taken the
hrst OF the hveyear course ut Pyeng Yang while one
OF them is attending the academy the same place
The need of native workers probably felt more bv
the missionary than by else. To develop
them strenuous efforts being made. The amount
of patient aborious teaching that it takes to make
OF these men strong intelligent workers, who can be
trusted TO build alone, is appalling. but by the en-
Tightening and sactfyng power of the Holy Spirit it
Is being done, and that at a gratifying rate
At this revolutionary period of all things Korean
the strength of the workers is being tried almost To
the breaking point. While not forgetting to be
grateful for the achievements that have been sent
out during the last two years hope that the
Church at home will not stop to congratulate itself
ON what it has done, but will press ON till the work
so gIoriousy begun, shall have been completed.
