A Gard OF Thanks.

To our friends and neighbors who
showed US so many kin6 attentions

aflictions in which we lost father and

We feel under lasting obligations to
them all, and especially to Drs- Nc
Cullough, Pickett and Thomas, who
did all that could be done for our
loved ones.

The runaways, hardly tall enough to
be seen in the grass along the right

Christian heard a big "choo.choo"

To say that China is awakening or
will awaken is false statement of
the case; to say that China has awak.
ened is platitude. II is self evident
and stares you in the face on every
corner, in every block, on every street.
Just as we judge the possibilities and
the quality of mans mind by his
best work, so we must judge of what
China not only is capable of doing,
but will do, by what her best men are
accomplishing and have accomplished.
Tientsin is the product of one mans
mind. That man, Viceroy Yuan Shi
Kai, is now prime minister, or practi.
cally that in Picking for the purpose
of working out his same plans for
the whole empire as he has done for
his own city. Therefore what Tientsin
is to-day China will be, and will be
very soon, for believe Mr. Robert
son knows what he is talking about
when he says that the conviction that
China must have progress and the
determination to change has seized
upon every official of high standing
from one end of the empire TO the
other And | believe that every one
who knows the Chinese agrees that
where the Chinaman has the will
he will find the way.
