better than We can know Napoleon or Char

And what Is the object Of such knowl-
edge? The next step Is belief in Him. That
means taking stock in what He tells US of
God and man and life. He becomes au-
thority to us in the spiritual realm. AS He
passes on to us his first-hand knowledge of
God we take that knowledge, as it were,
on His say so. Not every cloud that sur
rounds the being Of the infinite God Ia re-
moved, but through the eyes of Jesus we
get glimpses real and satisfying Of the
heart and mind of God.
Similarly, too, we come to trust Jesus

same investment in any two men. God
loves variety. No two faces are exactly
alike; no two blades of grass: no two glori-
GUS sunsets. He has stamped individuality
upon all. God is just and does not require
at my hands what He does at yours, if He
has given me but one talent and you FIVE
talents. But He does demand that each Of
us use the talent or talents invested in US.
What tragedies of buried talents! He
wrapped II in a napkin and buried it in
the earth! A mans talent is his ability
plus his opportunity. But before he can
live up to the limit of his ability and meet
IN full measure his opportunity he must
have a twofold experience: First, vision
of God; second, knowledge of Gods pur-
pose in him.

ON THE TRAIL OF THE
AMERICAN MISSIONARY
By William T. Ellis.
Copyright, 1907, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

SEOUL, Korea, November.
To get close to the actual facts Of mission
airy work in any country, as we'll as of the
true political and social conditions, it is
necessary to move out from the capital or
port cities and to sojourn for time in rural
parts. So 1 have been out seeing the real
Korea, itinerating among country villages
where there are churches, and in the mean
time seeing at first hand what Is said to be
the most picturesque people in the orient
The how of missionary work in this coun-
try may be set forth by a recital Of this
concrete experience.
Sometimes the missionary on tour puts
his outfit on a little Korean pony and then,
mounting on top of 1t, rides. At other times
he walks. Women missionaries often travel
in chairs borne by coolies. In the present
instance we walked, and two coolies carried
our packs, containing folding cots, bedding,
food and cooking utensils. 1t is impossible
for most white persons to subsst In health
upon the Korean diet of rice and picked
vegetables. AS to the matter of sleeping
more of that later.
A pedestrian tour through rural Korea
is better worth while than the same amount
of time spent in Seoul. The first afternoon
we travelled for five hours over the mar
row paths between rice fields which serve
sides" of the familiar parable of the sower.
Wheeled vehicles are unknown outside of
the cities, though the Koreans have pom
derous two-wheeled ox-cart, which they
claim was the original wheeled vehicle.
Unlike Japan, where only a hand pillow is
used, the Koreans cultivate their fields
with oxen. The last of the rice crop had
been gathered and the threshslg floors of
the farm houses in the villages were busy
places. There are no solitary farm houses
in this country; the farmers live in villages
and go out to their fields early in the
morning.
Rural life here suggests the orient of
the Bible. Every mans threshing floor be-
fore his house is simply smooth, hard earth.
There he threshes out the grain with long
fail, the whole family often engaged at
once. One olive-skinned twelve-y ear-old
boy who, bare to the waist, kept rhythmic
time with his father and mother on the
threshing floor, irresistibly suggested the
Nazareth Boy as modern painters have
pictured him. The threshing Of rice was
conducted as sociably as quilting bee,

floor beating the grain from the stalks with
