an. The prizes were only branches
from the sacred olive tree.
The whole scene unrolled itself to
us as we sat looking over the ground
where the anxious or triumphant heart
beats of the contestants could almost
be heard after all the centuries in the
now solitary spot. 1t is difficult to
imagine any scene on earth more spir-
tied than when the name and country
of each competing youth was called
out and heralds announced them with
the clarion notes of the trumpets.
And what a generous thought was it
of the patriotic Greek to restore the
stadium at Athens and make an object
for the youth of to-day to undertake
exactly the same games of the long
ago!
1t would have been even more an
event of the centuries had Olympia
been chosen, but its distance and isola'
ton and the hardships to which the
spectators would have been subjected
were insurmountable obstacles. One
must be an enthusiast or an archaeo,
logical scholar to visit Olympia as ii
now Is.
But there are rewards awaiting
every one who does penetrate to the
isolated ruins. The interest is IN
tense and no one need hesitate to &C
because one is not an archaeological
classical or historical scholar. Enough
can be acquired through the guidebooE
and little study at the museum be
fore making the journeys to give 6
clear idea of those world-renowned
centers of Greek scholars, artists and
athletes.

ignominy. He chose the latter, thus
practically ccnfessing his guilt. Mis-
sionaries all say: Poor Mr. Blank
and look upon him as martyr; al
though the board that employed him
took a different view of the matter,
and discharged him. He lives in
Tientsin to-day, and is a rich man."
Trouble Through Ex-Missionarles.
Now this attitude of many English
speaking residents Of the east toward
missions means something. 1t is not
a sufficient answer to fling charges, as
missionary supporters commonly do,
at the moral character of the white
communities in port cities. The man
above quoted is, as has been said,
an honorable man of position, and his
statements were specific.
In the particular case he cited. an
investigation showed that his state
-ments were warranted, except as to
the attitude of the missionaries toward
the alleged culprit in question. What
the merchant said was mildness as
compared with what the missionaries
said to me- They seem to have a
more intimate knowledge of the crook
edness of the ex-missionary than 9th
ers. and they have the additional
grievance that he has brought dis
grace upon their calling Similarly.
the missionaries went farther than
others in condemnation of another
notorious character in this city. an
,ex-missionary now in corporation
service, who is commonly alluded to
as 1.-The prize coward of the Peking
siege" and whose business methods
are reputed to be devious.
OF this attitude of the missionaries.
apparently, the community is unaware.
In it's sensitiveness to criticism the
missionary body presents solid
front, making no explanations, and
the world does not know that the
black sheep have been cast out Of the
flock. 1t appears that this place. like
other port cities, contains a number
of ex-missionaries who have been dis
missed from board service, or whC
have of their own will retired to en-
ter business. There is nothing dis
honorable in the latter practice. al
though 1t is clear violation Of &C
,cepted missionary ethics. The onuf
of the shortcomings of all these, who
are naturally still called mission
aries" attaches to the missionary
body, the members of which. have
been repeatedly assured, look with ut
most .disfayor upon the entrance o.
any one of their number into money
making pursuits.

Tientsin, China.-Here is the place
to come to learn "the other side" of
foreign missions. This city and
Shanghai are doubtless the two
greatest centers of anti-missionary
sentiment in the world. The critl-
'cisms of missions and missionaries
most commonly heard have to do with
China and with China's capital.
Three out of four stories rejecting
upon missions are located in China,
and two out of three are likely to con-
cern Peking and its neighborhood.
Now. that means Tientsin. The for
eign population of Peking is very
small, including few persons besides
legationers and missionaries. But
Tientsin, the port Of Peking and OF
North China, has the second largest
foreign population in the empire. 1t
is city of imposing European build
ings, of foreign stores, of modern
streets and homes, of clubs and
'churches-in short, 1t is bit OF the
west which greets a traveller like an
Soasis in the 1esert of the east.
A Missionary Charged with Graft.
On the ship between Chefoo and
Tientsin l was talking over variety
of far eastern topics with British
merchant who had lived for more than
20 years in Tientsin. He was plainly
a gentleman, man of family, OF
breeding and social standing, and In
all respects his views had been tenn
perate. Without his knowing my in
terest in the subject, the conversation
drifted to missionaries. Really, some
one should look into this missionary
business. 1t is not what people at
home think it is. You go up to Pc
king, and you will find the mission
aries living in compounds as big as le-
cations. And during the Boxer
trouble they looted frightfully.
"Therc was one missionary, a Mr..
Blank, who was made interpreter to a
British punitive expedition, with the
honorary rank of second lieutenant
At every village he would demand a
large sum of money, in the name OF
the commanding officer, which he
would quietly pocket himself. AT
length word of this reached the Brit
ish authorities, and the missionary
was asked for an explanation. He
f1atly denied everything. Then he was
given his choice of standing a fair
court-martial. with the assurance that
he would be shot If found guilty, oI
of being deprived of his rank and ot
being dismissed from the service II
