RAIN BENEFICIAL 70 CROPS.
While Precipitation is Not Heavy, |
Was General and Has
Great Effect,

Des Moincs, May 15.-The Iowa crop
prospect was immensely improved yes
terday by a general rain. While the
fall was not heavy, practically every
part Of the state enjoyed It's effect
to certain extent. It varied from
one tenth Of an inch at Council Bluffs
to almost an inch at Dubuque, which
reported the heaviest downfall. The
precipitation at Des Moines was about
three-tenths Of an inch. Up to date
the precipitation at Des Moines Is 3.97
inches less than the average for many
years past
"The rain was very beneficial" said
George A. Wells. secretary of the Iowa
Grain Dealers association. II do not
believe that small grain has been SER
iously damaged"
"The rain came at very critical
time" said Henry Wallace. editor OF
Wallace's Farmer. last night. There
was not enough OF 1t to do much good
OF course 1t Will hasten tine growth OF
everything II the weather only turns
warm. still stick to my prediction
that the wheat crop of the nation will
be far short and barely sufficient to
bread the country. Wheat, in my esti-
nation, is bound to keep close to the
dollar mark or considerably above II
for the next year or so.''

British government" she said. Don't
you believe those things you hear
about the English government in In
dia. We thank God for that govern
ment Under Its influence India isl
turning round.
Mrs. Ward told how at the imminent
peril OF her own and her husbands
safety she had saved many young
girls from being sold into slavery in
the heather temples, detailing one
case in which she had to escape
with the girl and take her five hundred
miles from their home. This girl aft
erwards married a Christian man and
is now engaged in missionary work.
Ministers Should Sacrifice.
Mrs. Ward told the assembled minis
tiers that they ought to give up one
tenth Of their income to the church
she said that In India the native
preachers, paid salaries of $40 or $50
year, regularly give one-tenth of
that amount to the church work.
"You ask how they live? They do
not live, they exist. But it is worth
the sacrifice"
The missionary told Of the Indian
women sometimes taking with them
four or Ave children, trudging twenty
to forty miles through all kinds of
weather to get to Christian services
'In this country, three, four drops
of water on the window pane and your
women they say Guess / won't 60 to
church today it's raining
"In our country the services last
from o'clock in the evening until 2
or 8 o'clock in the morning and even
then the people beg us to go on.
Here If the preacher talks Ave min
utes over his regular time everybody
gets nervous"
Mrs. Ward told Of witnessing the
baptism of 837 men, women and chill
dren one time, every one of them con.
verts made by Mr.. Ward and herself.

law of the survival Of the fittest, in
religion as elsewhere. So we have
living religions and dead religions.
Only that religion can survive that
brings the highest ministry to human
life. These movements all indicate
that the time will come when there
will be one surviving religion
But the religions Of earth can be
classified on the basis of their fitness
for tie whole world. Some religions
are universal and some are only eth
mic. They cannot be transplanted to
a fresh SOIL" AZ religions possessing
universal elements the speaker gave
an exposition of Buddhism and
Mohammedanism and showed why
they could not hope to conquer the
world. This he followed with a de-
scription of the universal principles
of Christianity which has showed its
marvellous fitness for every time, con-
dition, cline and race.
Why it Will Survive.
Then followed an exposition, some
what in details, of the destructive fea-
lures of Christianity which guarantee
that it will be the religion Of the f,l-
ture. The speaker discussed such
features as the comprehensive nature
OF Christian revelation, the destruc-
tive conception of God, the Christian
doctrine Of sacrifice, the ideals of the
Christian and the power it offers TO
| human weakness.
He closed with description of a
stirring scene in a religious congress
| where the "Hallejujah Chorus" from
the oratario of the Messiah" rang
out as prophecy after the religions
| of the earth had been discussed by
| chosen representatives
