PRAYED TO STATUE OF LIBERTY
Chinese Crew, Amazed by Size Of
Deity" Burn Incense and Chant.

When the 81 members of the Chi,
nese crew of the Braemer, a tramp
steamship, found themselves under the
shadow of the Statue of Liberty the
other day at sunrise they rushed pell,
nell below decks, returned presently
in solemn state and while their braids
wiggled in the wind kowtowed and
burned incense before the giant figure.
1t was the biggest idol they had ever
seen, they declared afterward, and
they felt they owed it reverence de-
spite the fact that it was some thou.

which left Hongkong on July 3, were
surprised, says the New York Herald,
IN looking for their crew to find that
not one of the Chinese sailors re.
manned on deck. The haze had just
lifted from the bay and the great
statue stood revealed in all its grand.
eur. Hi Wen, interpreter for the
crew, explained to the captain that a
few minutes previously the celestials
had dropped everything and rushed
below deck as if all the devils OF
northern China were after them. They
cast back glances at the towering fig.
ure of Liberty.
While Hi Wen was explaining this
hysterical disappearance to the cap.
tain the 81 Cinnamon passed through
the forecastle gangway like a funeral
procession, each carrying joss sticks
and turning his eyes toward heaven.
All ranged themselves along the deck
under the shadow of the Goddess OF
Liberty. There they stood for five
minutes, chanting a celestial prayer
and bowling with true oriental dignity.
Cinnamon no sabe Clist," said Hi
Wen. Him man alice same you and
we; walkee round. Him big American
joss. Him good"
When the sailors had paid their re.
spects to the statue they returned to
their work, but at intervals during the
day they looked with awe at the gi-
gantic figure. They had never come
to America before, and they marveled.
Hi Wen said, what they would find in
land when they encountered such a
wonder at the mere TIRES hold of the

ERMoNETTE

No prison has ever yet been
built strong enough and tight
enough to keep the Divine pres
ence from penetrating its inner
most recesses and holding COM
munion and fellowship with the
one whose devotion to the cause
of righteousness has cast him
therein.
Jeremiah is only one of
myriads who through the ages
have found the dungeon made
glorious with the Divine pres
ence.
Joseph's prison became Gods
schooIroom, where daily he
drilled the young Hebrew for
the great place he was to fill.
The lions den becomes for Dan
lei the Divine reception hall,
the fiery furnace proves the
trystine place where the faithful
three meet and talk and walk
with their God. Paul found in
the inner prison at PhiIippi the
joy and harmony of heavenly
songs whose vibrations shook
the prison walls, and brought
the jailer to his knees a peni-
tent. From Paul's prison there
came the richest and best of his
writings. 1t was a Bunyan in
prison who gave to the world
that classic, "PiIgrim's Prog
ress."
The darkest, most foul place
or earth may become the bright
est and sweetest place if faith
reaches up and claims that
heavenly companionship which
il is the privilege of every one to
enjoy.
The soul can always rise above
the physical condition. "Fear
not them which kill the body, but
r not able to kill the soul; but
rather fear him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in
hell."-The words of Jesus.
How subIimely he exemplified
this teaching, and how ready he
is to help his disciples to live
above the mere physical and to
fear not man, but God.
Truth always has and always
will thrive on persecution. The
effort to suppress the prophet
Jeremiah and to discredit his
message served but to advertise
him to the nation and to give
added force to his message. In
the dungeon jeremiah obtained
new revelation from God so that
not only was his personal ex-
perience enriched, but his min
istry to the nation was strength
ened. Surely the wrath of man
does work to the praise of God.

that a number of wives in Canton

waited.
He had been placed there to mis-.

of the noisome place and had known
of many desperate criminals who had
passed days in the depths of the great
pit. But none had ever been cast
into the pit as he had been without q

miry depths and to death. He looked
up to see If he could discover any

sound, but only the loud beating OF
his heart could be heard in the death.

Il shall die here" he thought. "And
then l shall be with Cod" he added.
The thought seemed to cheer him,
and he began to chant one of the
Psalms he had learned to love SC
we'll.
Out of the depths have I cried unto
thee, o Lord"
He paused. Had the Psalmist, too,
been cast into the depths of some hor'
rible pit to die? And he wondered:
Did God hear and answer"
AS though by way of answer there
ioated in around him a light whose
refulgence transformed the noisome
pit into a place of heavenly glory.

and he knew that God was with him

For ten times the suffering and dis.

not have missed that blessed eXpe,

sweetness to him in the thought that
he belonged to God and that no harm

God was willing to permit. and which

geon, he was sending his messengers
to the rescue of the prophet.
While jeremiah was still lost in the
contemplation of the vision God had
given him he heard his name called
and instantly recognized the voice OF
Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian eunuch
who served in the kings house, and
who was his faithful friend.

Quickly the prophet obeyed, and
soon felt himself being drawn from

Never could he forget that expert

spirit of God moved upon him, he

cut off my life in the dungeon, and
cast a stone upon me-. Waters flowed
