SOULS AND TEETH.
Missionary Worker in Africa Preached
and Then Pulls Teeth.

Among the many and various items
Of interest in the speeches given at
the May anniversary of the great mis-.
sionary societies, there can scarcely
have been one to surpass what was
told by Wesleyan missionary, lately
returned on furlough from Rhodesia
He has been laboring there for IA
years, during which time he has trans
lated the Bible into the Mashona
tongue. But his audience in Exeter
hall were amused beyond measure
when he went on to tell them that
there was one thing which, if he did
not take it with him in his evangel-
istic travels, the African natives would
miss more than an ordinary English
church-goer would miss his minis
ter's sermon if he had forgotten to
bring it with him into the pulpit.
That was the forceps for extracting
teeth. He had found that an indis-
pensable accompaniment in his mis-.
siOnary work. At the end of a serv-
ice, he would say: IF any of you
want your teeth attended to, you must
wait behind after the congregation
have gone" He had drawn as many
as 20 teeth when he had finished
preaching the gospel to crowd of ma
tives. Heine once said, with his skep-
tical sneer: 'Psychical pain is more
easily borne than physical, and If
had my choice between a bad tooth
and bad conscience, I should choose
the bad conscience" But here, OBJ.
serves the Record of Christian Work,
we have a Christian missionary who

REVIVAL IN KHAssIA HILLS.
Remarkable Evidence Of the Spirits
Power in the Meetings.

Further particulars of the work are
given in The Friend of Sylhet at the
remarkable annual assembly meeting
at Mairang. People came in crowds
from all directions; in some cases
whole churches, not content that their
teachers and deacons should come,
came en- masse, so that it soon be-
came problem how to accommodate
the thousands in such small village,
hills. The rajah did his part royalty.
For three days he fed hundreds, and
on the Sunday it was reported that
1000 people sat at meal in his house,
and 1000 in the house of one of his
relatives. Each house, Christian and
non-Christian, had its full quota. One
poor woman, who had reluctantly
promised to take five visitors, rejoiced
IL saying that she had been able to
take 40. It was a truly marvellous
sight to see the congregation that had
gathered on Sunday. The number was
reckoned to be about 10000. The cor
respondent says: 'But if the number
of people made us wonder, the sights
in the meetings were more marvellous
still. 1t was time in which the Spirit
of God manifested Himself unmistak-
ably. Throughout the assembly one
felt in the midst of people who real
lied the nearness of Jesus Christ The
truth had dawned upon them as DR..
Dale said it came to him one Easter
morning Christ is alive. In
the prayers we heard people convers-
ing with their Saviour, as if they were
face to face with Him. These were
people who had experienced the JOY of
salvation. Gladness was the prevail
ing spirit. To them it was not mere
duty to attend the meetings, but real
pleasure, and this pleasure was not
due to any excitement. The report of
the year told us that 5000 persons had
entered the church since the previous
assembly"

JAPAN AS TUTOR OF INDIA.
Nations Victory Over Russia Has
Given Her Great Prestige.

Reports from India have indicated
the profound effect on the natives of
Japan's victory over Russia; and it
has been said that Indian youth here
after, in considerable numbers, in
stead of going to the colleges in India
founded by the English, or to Oxford
or, Cambridge for their finishing edu-
cation, would go to Japan's institu-
tons of learning. Certain it is that
hereafter there is to be far more in
tercourse between India and Japan
than in the past, and here is proof
of it. Rev. Tasuke Harada, pastor of
the largest Congregational church in
Japan, at Kobe, and Mr.. Motuda, of
St. Paul's college, Toxic, have been
invited by the India Y. M. G. A. Union
to visit India, and speak at university
centers on Japan's history and ideals.
They are now in India speaking with
power from the Christian standpoint.

On Monday, Judge w. w.
Woods decided the Squaw bay
equity case in favor of the Prairie
Development company and against
F. A. Blackwell and the Liebergs,
the defendants.
The Liebergs are compelled by
the order of the court to perform
their contract with the develop
ment company, but the $50, 900
damages asked by the develop
ment company from Mr.. Blackwell
for alleged conspiracy, is denied.
The plaintiffs were d. X. Nc
Donald, r. A. Hutchinson, Mark
F. Mendenhall and ]. Grier Long,
who are moving forces behind the
proposed Rapid Transit railway.
The case involved 1900 acres of
land on Squaw bay, Pend d Oreille
lake which sile Liebergs owned
and which they had contracted to
sell to the Prairie Development
company fol $4,000. After that,
F. A. Blackwell, it is alleged,
offered S46,o 900 for the same land
and it was accepted by the Lie
bergs who thereafter failed to KEEP
their contract with the develop.
ment company. The suit, jus
decided, followed.

ARBOR DAY MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt to the Chils
dren Of the Nation.

President Roosevelt has addressed
s'To the School Children OF tn United
States" a message on the Significance
of the Arbor day. He advises them
to celebrate the day th0nghtfully.
The message says:
"Arbor day is now observed In every
state in our Union, mainly In the
schools. At various times you give
a day or part Of day to special ex-
ercises and perhaps to actual tree
planting, In recognition of the import-
ance Of trees to us as nation and OF
what they WELD IN adornment. coms
fort and useful products.
'sIt is we'll that you should cele-
brate your Arbor day thorghtfully, for
within your lifetime the nations need
Of trees will become serious. We; OF
an older generation, can get along
with what we have, though. with
growing hardships; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
want what nature once SO bOuntifully
supplied and man so thoughtlessly de-
strOyed and because of that you will
reproach us tor what we have wasteds
For the nation, as for the man or wO-
man and the boy or girl, the road to
success is the right use of what we
have and the improvement Of present.
opportunity. Ii you neglect to pre-
pare yourselves now for the duties and
responsibilities that will fall on you
later; IL you do not learn the things
which you will need to know when
your school days are over, you will
suffer the consequences. So any ma
tien which in its youth lives only for
the day, reaps without sowing, and
consumes without husbanding, must
expect the penalty of the prodlgal,
whose labor could with difficulty lnd
him the bare means or life.
! IA people without children would
face hopeless future; country with
; out trees is almost as hopeless. A
true forest is not merely storehOust
full of wood, but, as it were, a factor,
. ! of wood, and at the same time re
seryoir for water. When you help tc
preserve our forests or to plant nev
ones, you are acting the part of goo'
! citizens. The value Of forestry de
serves therefore to be taught IN tn
