is known to fame. Early in the Span
ish war he was on the gunboat York
town and had occasion to effect a
landing on the coast of Luzon with a
boats crew. Soon afterward he was
taken captive by the Filipinos and
taken to the hills, where he was kept
a prisoner for nine months. He still

/ less. More people are planning for thu
] happiness and comfort of the othel
man. Every millionaire meets the
| spirit of Jesus, hears His command
| Remember thy brethren and obeys
it. Very pathetic are the ways IL
which this obedience sometimes is
rendered, Unable to loose his clutches
on his money-bag, one leaves every
thing to his wife. sure that she viii
pay all that is possible of his debt to
the brotherhood. Another makes his
daughter his almoner and she, with a
grace matching his churIishness, wins
a name in every land for faithful
stewardship. Kings of finance-the
real n1onarchs of modern society-like
Rockefeller and Carnegie, one or both
of whom have passed the hundred mil
lion-dollar mark in giving, are drawn
by Jesus to apologize for their wealth
by a lavishness unparalleled since
Adam began to be. Run your in
quiries from the giddy enninence, upon
which such men sit unsteady, down
to the slums where the poorest herd,
any everywhere the same scene meets
your eyes-less of self and more of
Christ in every son of man.
But the work is not ended. Jesus
said, Il viii draw every man unto
myself''-not simply In my direction,
but up onto my cross. To each one
He cries, Z have mastered self. You,
too, shall win this victory. I have
earned manhood You, also, shall f.
nally kill the beast and crown the
man in your soul" History has not
yet set its seal upon this, vision. And
with good reason, because Gods plan
was not to let Jesus do this work by
Himself. Salvation Is no affair of iso-
lated individuals, no mere "Jesus and
me- scheme. Tt is social. and no man
is destined to reach Jesus level alone.
Bound to, all his brethren by chains of
adamant, until all have fully attain
ed, each of US must be held back
somewhat from his largest self.
Hence the glory and privilege of the
Christian Church, as well as of indi-
viduaT Christian discipleship. For
without social propaganda and with
out each individual Christians loyal
ty, Christ will never draw all men to
Himself. Here we meet a still deeper
meaning in our Lords words, ..if I be
lifted up from the earth That pro-
cess did not end with the crucifixion
In the truest, the social, sense it only
began then. From that moment to-
this every honest believer has been
at work lifting Jesus up from the
earth. BY preaching or teaching Him
Yes. BY obeying Him? Yes. Fullest
of all, by letting himself be crucif1ed,
by willing that Jesus shall dominate
the entire person and put self to death
in his life, by losing self in service
for men. AS thus each mounts his
cross, his own sen1blance fades and,
changing to the likeness of his Mas
ter, he actually lifts up Jesus. Such
lifting draws men with an irresistible
attraction to the, same blessed expe-
rience.
To this endeavor God calls this
Church. The single aim of this min |
istry is to lift up Jesus. May our
Father grant that in this service we
each may present ourselves to Him
a willing, loving, living sacrifice.

Russian Fighting Geese.

In Russia pits for cock fighting are
unknown, but "goosepits" some 60
years ago were common throughout
that mighty kingdom. The effect of
this can be seen to-day in the geese
which are indigenous to the country,
the Arsamas and the lula varieties
particularly showing 20 a marked de-
gree the fighting characters Of their
ancestors. The Arsamas gander has a
bill which is entirely different in form
from that of the geese known in any
other part of the world. This special
structure enables the bird to take a
firm grip on the neck or back of its
antagonist.

East African Religion. Ceremony.

Recently strange ceremony was
performed at Changamwe, East Afri.
ca, to bring rain. A house-to-house
visit was made among the natives by
a self-appointed committee who col
lected from each hut the sum of two
annas. With the total thus collected
an OK was purchased. A procession
was then formed, in which all the
available children took part. After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for period of two. hours,
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children.
The meat of the OK was then boiled
In pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed The bones and
remaining offal Of the carcass were
later put in a sack, carefully carried
to the sea and thrown into deep water.
Circumstantially rain fell for few
hours on the succeeding day.
