Last night tho eighth annual exhibition Of
motor cars and accessories OF the Automobile

Palace, and the weary men who had exColled
the merits of their goods for the last 81
days and seven nights might well have
shouted their gIee but for the fact that most
of them we're so hOarsc they could hardly
speak above a whisper. Present day shows
are hard ones for the men who have to stand
ON their feet all day and tell over and over
again the reason why their car or tire or
whatever Il may be should be preferred above
all others. as the motoring public has gained
both wisdom and experience and hat would
have satisfied a prospective buyer of a year
or two ago will not do so at the present time
One OF the points that has been brought
out during the show In the Grand Central
Palace Is that while early shows may enable
the manufacturers to size up the demand
for their goods for the coming season
buyers will turn up who insist on taking i'm
mediate delivery OF their purchases. While
this would be all right II factory had num-

From Bangkok, in Siam, we hear from
the Rev. John Darlington, who works
the whole of this remote empire. 1t
must have been awkward when one of
his buffaloes, hltched to cart con-
tanning Testaments in Siamese and
Laos, suddenly bolted and scattered
boxes and beds along the swampy
track for half mile.
Or, again, we find Mr. Darlington
using tiger skins for the binding of
his Bibles, and holding weird auction
sales of his books, under the tamarind
trees of Samoa island, 300 miles down
the west coast of the Gulf of Siam,

can but briefly touch on the adven-
lures of William Laughton in his boat
on the Yang-tse, which he rented for
$50 taels and then loaded up with BIZ
bles, only to run on some rocks and
become a total wreck. Indeed, were
it not for the skill of the native track
ers and towers" in handling the bam-
boo pumps it is possible that Mr..
Laughton would have lost his Bibles,
If not his life.
IN many instances the book is
thought to possess magical attributes.
Among the Mbundu people, in Central
Africa, an old man bought Bible and
said: Would it be safe for me to keep
this book in the house, or rust build
a place for it out-doors?"
Nor are dark tragedies unknown
among the Bible pioneers. The Rev.
H. ]. johnson once dropped down the
great Yang-tse in a houseboat laden
with Testaments. He was accompani-
ed only by trusted Chinese colpor-
teur. For nineteen years nothing more
was heard of either. Then the tragic
story came to light. Johnson and his
man had landed at an inland town to
sell their Bibles. But the first night
a fire broke out and burned down
many houses with much loss of life.
Next day native mischlef-makers at
tri5dted the disaster TO the evil in
fluence of the Foreign Devil" And
before the white man and his assist
ant could get back to their houseboat
they were set upon by mob and muir
dered with every circumstance of cru
city.

and financed from headquarters,
where editorial subcommittee COM
posed of eminent pathological experts
meet every month. In one year such
a committee will have matters before
it in 200 different languages! In fact
a staggering thing when one goes into
it. Last year the Scriptures were sold
in 20 different tongues in the Austrian
Empire, and so in Russia
Our hundreds of thousands Of poly
glot immigrants are met ON the very
threshold of the Land of Liberty and
a Bible is put into their hands in their
own tongue, whether it be Greek or
Magyar, Polish or Japanese, Gaelic or
Croat, Arabic or Chinese. There are
scores of languages into which the BIZ
BILE has been done that you rever

In a great number of cases an en-.

there are difficulties which you or l

pestuous seas. The American Bible
society alone employs four or five hun
bred white men in savage or remote
lands, literally from China to Peru.
These in turn employ great numbers
of native colporteurs who travel in
land upon waterways, over mountains,
and through forests, with their packs
on their backs or with strange cara
vans of laden men or beasts.
Brave All Dangers.
The experiences Of the Revs. Bear
and Turner in the Philippines would
alone fill volume of varied adyen-
ture. Night and day on one tour they
travelled through almost impossible
swamps in clumsy OK carts, and bare
ly escaped drowning more than once
while descending swift rapids on a
rudely built raft.
In South America, from the Equator
to Cape Horn, the Bible carriers are
on the march, and the political revo-
tiles, and a thousand other obstacles
only increase their enthusiasm. The
Bible is carried into the camel-hair
tents of the wandering Bedouin Arabs
of Syria, and if these men are not able
to read classical Arabic then they
have Bibles in their own dialect for
which they pay-coined money being
unknown to them-in butter, eggs,
milk, horns, and brass ornaments.
Steamship and train are but the
first step in transportation. Then
come little sailing vessels among the
coral islands of the Pacific; canoes
and households for IndoChina and the
west coast of Africa; bullocks and OK
carts in South Africa; dogs and
sledges with fur-clothed drivers above
the arctic circle; patient asses; long
necked supercilious camels; smartly
stepping llamas for rough mountain
passes; pack horses, hard-headed ne
gro porters, and a hundred other
methods of transport, according to the
region.
The work of colporteur Is one of
terrible risk to life and limb. His BIZ

through the rapids and gorges of the

on the rocks; whereupon he must I'M

bank, getting what shelter he may
