fypical Korean woman. The idea was
a bright and original one with Miss
Straeffer, and one which her audience
thoroughly appreciated, as they there
NV formed better idea of the real
tapearance of the Korean women than
could have been done in any other way.
OF Korea Miss Straeffer spoke most
Interestingly. She said that for the
10000, 900 people who inhabit the pen
insular there were only sixty ordained
Protestant ministers. She said that of
,the whole mission field there is none
that offers a more thoroughly interest
ing or a more delightful study than
Korea.
Some of the interesting facts brought
out by the missionary was the cost of
being a Christian in Korea. of what it
means in that country to come out and
acknowledge Christ: of the many OBJ
stacies that a native must overcome
to be a Christian and of the suffering
and prosecutions that must be borne
in many instances to be Christian.
In many instances she said that to
profess the Christ meant giving up
home and all that had made life dear.
She told many instances of women
their adoption of the new religion. ="
She told stories Of the DEVOTION and of
She worshipful attitude 81 the Chris

service that would put to shame peo-
pie in our more enlightened countries.

MR.. TRANSFORMERS SERMON.
Revival at the Dexter Az

Interesting Revival at the Dexter Az
enue Church.
PAY Thy Vows Unto the Lord" was
the text from which Rev. l.. C.
Branscombe, OF Talladega. preached a
strong and excellent sermon at the
Dexter Avenue Methodist Church last
night
Sunday Rev. w. M Cox, pastor of
the church. began a series of REVIVAL
sermons at the Dexter Avenue Meth
odist Church. and last night Mr..
Branscombe arrived at Montgomery
and will assist the pastor with the
services during the next ten days or
two weeks.
The thread of thought that ran
through the entire sermon last night
was that when under stress Of cir
cumstances one of Gods children
makes to Him vow and He hears
and answers that VOW, He expects the
VOW to ne paid.
The services are being well attend
ed. There will be services each morn
ing at 10 O'Clock and at night at 3
o'clock. At 1880 o'clock each night
there will be a PRAYER and praise SER
vice lasting onehalf hour previous to
the preaching service.

that no concerted action will be taken
by the railroads of the country to over.
turn the law. In the West, particular.
" on the Pacific coast, the railroads
are making their arrangements to con
form to the new provisions as soon as
possible. Naturally questions Of diff

that may have to be adjusted in the
courts, but the law will be observed
