Ants as Guests OF Plants.

The ants which are really protective
TO plants are not those which obtain
their food, indirectly for the most part
through the aphideS. from the vegeta-
bic kingdom, but those which are real
ly carniyorous. These are numerous In
temperate climates, and their useful
ness TO agriculture and sylviculture Is
inc~ontestable. Thus the field ant Is n
great insect destroyer. \ nest Of this
species is capable of destroying as
many as twenty-eight catcrpillars and
grasshoppers a minute. or 1900 an
hour, and such a colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the arid plains Of America
the benefiCent work Of ants Is revealed
in the isles of verdure around their
hills. There are plants hospitable to
ants, which furnish them shelter and
often food. within the ca vities Of which
the instincts Of the ants prompt them
to take their abode. This Is the case
with several ferns. among them the
POlypodium nectariferum. the sterile
fronds Of which Dear hectares on their
lower face ana are. moreover, Of a
shape favorable to sheltcring the in.

perhaps they were independent young

they couldn't possibly be making frr

Most of them are trained nurses. When

TO attend a case they pack their uni
forms and other ncCcssaries in these

A world without mistakes and with
out suffering would be a world without
real men and women, without litera-
ture, without music, without painting
or sculpture and without love, and
even without history. for history Is a
record of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome and errors to correct men
and women would lapse to a level with
beasts in mentality. Intellectual and
spiritual development would cease and
souls not refined by the fire Of ordeals
would die Of something akin to fatty
degeneration. The races would perish
of ennui or %inanity. After all. it's a
pretty fair sort Of world as it stands.

sponded with the salutation of peace"
which had learned.
An hours walk In the twilight and dark
ness brought us to the next settlement,
where the experience of the previous day
was repeated. Out of seventy families twen-
ty-five are believers, and the village, which
is situated along the river. and had long
been notorious for it's gambling, drinking
and general 'tougnness." had been entirely
altered In its character of Christianity.
Here a crowded church-erected, of course
like all others, by the Koreans own money
and handiwork-awaited the missionary
After another night in a room similar to the
one in which We had slept the night before.
the missionary started in again on similar
grist of candidates for baptism, putting
through twenty, less than half the waiting
list, before starting on a half days journey
to the next village, where the same pro-
ceedings were duplicated.
AS we went on our way from each village
some Of the elders would accompany us. as
the. Ephesian elders accompanied the Apos-
tie Paul The custom is an oriental one. as
is also the constantly repeated salutation
Of Peace! Peace!
Summing up the whole trip. three facts
especially impressed me. /. The receptivity
of the Koreans toward Christianity, in eag-
erness and sincerity. 2. The thoroughness
lance with which church membership is
guarded. 3. The remarkable fact that the
missionary has no time to go after people
or do any pioneer evangelistic work; the
church Is propagating itself. Here. in two
decades, has been created a native church
that is wholly self-supporting and self-ex-
tending. 1 have no doubt that IL the pres
ent missionary force in Korea were quad
rupled os sextupled at once practically the
whole nation would become Christian in
less than score of years.

For it 1.-THE kingdom OF heaven is as when a man
going into another country called his own servants
and delivered unto them his goods And unto one
he gave five talents, and to another two. and 10
another to each according to his several abil-
ity; and he went his journey. Straghtway he
that received the five talents went and traded with
them and made other five talents In like manper
he also that received the two gained other two.
But he that received the went away and
dIgged in the earth. and hid his lords money.
Now after long time the lord OF those servants
cometh and maketh reckoning with them
And he that received the five talents came anu
brought other FIVE talents, saying. Lord. thou de-
Everest unto five talents 10, / have gained
other five talents. His lord said unto him, Well
done good and faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful a few things; / will set thee over
many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
And also he that received the two talents came
and said Lord, thou deliyerest unto me two tai
ents; To- have gained other two talents. His lord
said unto him, Well done. good and faithful serv
ant thou hast been faithful over a few things; !
will set thee many things: enter thou into the
joy of thy lord. And he also that had received the
talent and said. Lord. l knew thee that
thou art hard man, reaping where thou didst not
SOW, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
and afraid and went away and hid thy talent
in the earth luke says: Wrapped it in nap
kim; 10, thou hast thine own.
But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou
wicked and slothful servant; thou knewest that
reap where / sowed not and gather where did not
scatter; thou oughtest therefore to have put my
money to the bankers and at my coming l should
have received back mine with interest Take
We away, therefore. the talent from him and give
II unto him that hath the ten talents. For unto
every one that hath shall be given and he shall
have abundance; but from him that hath not even
that which he hath shall be taken away. And cast
ye out the Improbable into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing Of teeth

reveals the fact that God has made an in

and eighteen for a man. Many such prac-
teal problems as these arise among a people
fresh from rank heathenism.
After watching the examinations for sew
eral hours, and having the questions trans
lated to me, 1 must say that the fitness of
the candidates for church membership Is
very rigidly guarded. The examination is
much more rigid than a person has to un-
dergo in order to become a member of
church in America, 1 told the missionary
that would not risk ii myself; he requires
almost a theological education on the part
of converts. This strictness is necessary,
however, to keep the people from joining
the church from un-Christi-n motives; 1t
would be easy otherwise to turn Christian
ity to political uses In Korea. / was pleased
to note that the strictness of the examina-
ton was abated in the case Of some ignor-
ant peasant women. One had been be-
lever nine years, and the leaders testified
to her piety; so, although she could not read
nor answer many of the questions, she was
taken into the church.

Musicians Autographs.


Autographs of great musicians are uncer-
tain assets. Except, perhaps. in the case
of Beethoven, one of whose letters at a re-
cent sale in Berlin realized $1S7, and an
other, which contained two lines of music,
$500. mans celebrity would not appear to
guarantee fancy" value to his signature
as on the same occasion an autograph of
John Sebastien Bach, much rarer than
those of Beethoven, sold for only $155
Here are some other prices which obtained
at this SALE Notwithstanding that, at pre-
vious auctions of this kind, autographs of
the same men had practically gone beg
ging: A letter of Bellini, $37; small one
of Bizet, $40; three letters of Berliog S88:
a letter of Chopin, $3.50. Chuck manuscripts
are scarce; one of music, dated from
Vienna, December 81. 1863, although small
affair, changed hands at $1,000 A Visiting
card of Haydn found purchaser at 500.
and q letter of the same at $427 Two let
tiers of Schubert realized respectively 800
and $377; a scrap of writing of Mozart.
$278; four letters of Wagner, 1922 such
figures may be taken to be satisfactory or
not according to the point Of view. To
many they will but suggest a grim COM
parison with prices paid to these musicians
when alive for their actual work.

Sunday Morning Talk
A Reasonable Creed.

Article I've believe in Jesus Christ"
1t would be hard for me to construct
personal creed and leave Jesus Christ out
or make Him an insignificant factor Under
any conception of his person He stands for
so much in the realm of religion that one
who starts with the intention OF having a
religion of his own Is forced to reckon with
this supreme figure of history and in some
way TO relate his own religious aspirations,
endeavors and convictions to the One who
for 1900 years has been the object of ven
Grafton on the part of multitudes of the
most enlightened and truly devout persons
In various quarters of the globe.
1t is possible to put Christ at the fore
front of ones creed and at the same time
refrain from elaborate and minute defini-
lions of His nature. What units. certain
historic creeds for wide personal use today
Is their too precise descrp tons of His quail
tiles and attributes. presupposing an exact
ness and completeness OF knowledge which
not all OF us think We possess just yet. In
deed. who can compress great glowing
personality like that of Henry Drummond
or Phillips Brooks into definition? 1t
overfiows the limitations of speech. Did you
ever try 20 define your idea of your friend
80 that the definition should say all that
you wanted to say about him-not a whit
more or less? The task is almost impossi-
ble.

we can obtain very definite knowledge of

wide currency totey, to the effect that no.
body knows anything about Christ, betrays
q deplorsble ignorance. The fact Is Jesus
Christ is the best-known character in his
tory. He was never so well known to-
day. Daring the last fifty years books
about Him, the fruit OF careful research in
Palestine and of patient study of the old
records, have poured from the presses in a
continuous stream. Almost every one
throws fresh light on the marvellous man,
and there will he more and even better lives
Of Christ, for He is the most vital and in
exhaustibie being OF history
Yet one need not read all the learned
books to come to a very sure knowledge of
Christ. Read the four gospels, friend, or
read one Of them. Read it enough to get
imbued with its spirit and to feel its I'm
press. Your experience will be different
from that of the vast majority il In time
you do not come to feel the dignity, the

KOREA is NOW

erected for the Precipitation of some evil
spirit. At pass in the mountains we came
to a tree with stones heaped around 1t:
it supposedly embodied an evil spirit, and
every traveller casts a stone at It, The
hillsides are covered with grave mounds,
regarded as sacred, and before some of
these are tablets, now and then sculptured
Srudely into human form Broadly speak
ing, however, Korea may be regarded as
country without religion.
The country itself is beautiful, largely
mountainous, but with fertile valleys There
are many wild fowl geese, ducks and
itinerant missionary to carry a gun to pro-
vide the meat for his meals. In the inter-
Tor the missionary occasionally bags deer
or wild boar; and there is always the
possibility of meeting a tiger. Some mis-
sionaries, who are hundred miles from
beefsteak. eat pheasant three times day
because they cannot afford bacon or ham.
*
After fifteen-mile tramp we reached at
dusk the village which was our destination.
The welcome that was given to the mission
airy was really beautiful to behold. Old
men and young, with little children in their
train, came forward with beaming faces,
and with the ancient salutation of Peace"
They caught the missonarys hands, squeez-
ed his arm or affectionately patted his
shoulders. Yet they had never seen this
particular "Moksa,'' or shepherd before.
The field is that of Rev. DR.. H. Under
wood, one of the missionary veterans of
Korea, but he is absent on furlough, and
his duties have fallen to Rev. Earnest F.
Hall, a young man who was for several
years assistant pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church, New York city. Mr..
Hall is still supported by tt Fifth Avenue
Church as it's representative in Korea.
Many times during the days we were to-
gether / wondered how often he thinks of
arf hafvr
cations and these Korean villages, who, in
truth, personify the simple life
The best room in one of the largest farm
houses in the village was made ready for
us by the easy process of the family's tum-
bling out, since the room was absolutely
devoid of all furnishings except chest for
best clothes and treasures. From the CELL
ing, which was a lofty one for Korea, be-

ing seven or eight feet high, hung various
articles, such as cheese-shaped hat box.
The entrance to the room was through a
paper-covered doorway four feet high by
two wide. There was a small window. like
wise of paper, on either side of the room.
The dimensions of the latter were feet by
II, SO that the missionary congratulated
himself on our roomy quarters. Eight by
eight is the normal ROOM
The most interesting feature Of the room
was the floor. This was of dirt, covered
with oiled paper. Underneath it ran the
fiues Of the household fire. so that the floor
was hot to the touch. This is the Korean
method of heating house. and the natives
sleep in comfort on the hot floor. Morning
and evening a brush or wood fire is lighted
the fuel market on the main street is one of
the sights of Korean city-and "the time
of the evening smoke" Is as definite asperiod
as SUNSET Over this fire the meal is cooked,
the flames and smoke passing underneath
