Rest.

The ancient Job longed for the rest
of the grave, and thereby exhibited
just bit Of cowardice, besides miss.
ing life's true meaning. Real rest is
not inactivity-fot cessation from en-
deavor, but is an abiding peace, flow
ing out from God. The founder OF
Christianity, acknowledged a great
philosopher, promised rest to the
weary of earth, and His competency to
-hus speak is largely indicated by His
jwn composure under every trying cir
umstance. 1t is the worlds need
rest amid lifes distractions. The most
of us are trying to find satisfaction in
outward circumstance, forgetting ali
the while that the kingdom of heaven
the one satisfying state-is within
or not at all in so far as we are con-
cerned. An ancient statement has in
it a parable of life: But the dove
found no rest for the sole of her foot,
and she returned unto him into the
ark" Ours is lost paradise to regain
which we must be able to answer to
God without being afraid. That means
for us rest when the conflict is fiercest;
repose when all about is in alarm.
Then are they glad, because they are
1t rest, and so He bringeth them unto
The haven where they would be-

One of the surest indications of the
revolution of sentiment taking place
in China is the popular movement to-
ward the education of women. One
of the strong advocates for the new
departure is the present Chinese min
lister at Washington, Sir LANG, whose
American school life, when for part OF
the time he was under the instruction
OF woman teachers, gave him lasting
respect for feminine intellectual pow
ers. Shortly before he left China for
Washington Sir Liang had an inter
view with the empress dowager and
the subject was brought up. Il have
been advised" said her majesty, ito
introduce schools for girls into the
empire. But l have noticed that as
soon as women begin the pursuit of
learning they are seized with the
mania for meddling in politics" Sir

Lorenzo Dow, Peter Cartwright and
Otter Famous Circuit Riders.

Few romances, says the Youths
Companion, can equal that OF early
Ohio Methodism. No part Of the
United States found a more fruitful
field or yielded a greater harvest
In 1915 John Stewart, free mulat-
to living in Marietta, addicted to
drunkenness, and on the way to the
river to drown himself, heard the
voice of a circuit rider, stopped at
the church door to listen, and went
home with an awakened conscience,
He soon volunteered to go among the
Indian tribes and tell his story. Wan
dering northward, he came to wy
andotte village on the Sandusky river.
He could read and sing, and he soon
had the whole tribe under his influ'
ence. He died at the age Of 81,
mourned and honored, the first Amer
lean missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
One of Stewards converts was Be-
tween-the-Legs, a Wyandotte chief.
He was born at Lower Sandusky, now
Fremont, o., took the American side
in the war of 1872, and accompanied
Harrison in his invasion of Canada.
Bishop McCabe's uncle, DR.. L. d.
McCabe, notable Ohio Methodist,
was named after that famous circuit
rider, Lorenzo Dow. Dow was cele-
brated for his eccentricities of dress
and speech as well as for his zeal.
He wore no buttons on his coat, but
tied the garment around his waist
with a rope. He would make appoint
ments to preach months in advance,
and so implicit was the faith of his
promises that on the appointed days
great crowds would gather from miles
around. One instance is recorded
where Dow preached thus punctually
to the minute on an appointment
made five years previous.
OF Peter Cartwright, an Ohio "son
of thunder" licensed to preach at
the age Of IL, it is said that his cir,
cults were like lines of battle. One
quarterly meeting was held in the
woods. A mob led by two champions
nth loaded whips invaded it. Cart.
wright seized one after the other OF
the principal rioters, threw them
down, and, aided by friends, secured
30 persons, whom he marched off to
an empty tent, had them guarded over
night, and brought all to Justice
His sermon that day was from the
text: The gates of hell shall not
prevail"
Cartwright during his IS years OF
preaching received $4,000 members
into the church.
The camp meeting originated and
attained it's highest development in
Ohio. Under Bishop McKendree such
was the eagerness of the people to at
tend that the roads were literally
crowded with those pressing their
way to the groves. Entire neighbor-
hoods were forsaken for a season by
their inhabitants. A bishops salary
at that time was from $40 to $50 a
year and travelling expenses. From
this pittance he had to buy his clothes
and provide for his family.
