CHRISTIAN DESIGNS UPON CHINA.

According to a Mr.. Charles Johnston writing in the
HILBERT Journal of Boston, the Christian world is fondy
anticipating the death of the Empress Dowager of China
order that her son. Kuang Su may rule the fowery
kingdom because of his confidential advisers Kang Yu
Wei, in exile will be restored to official favor per-
med to return home and take hand in the affairs of
the government
Let it be understood however, that the Christian world
speaking through the HILBERT Journal writer is not
much interested in the young Emperor it is in his ad
WISER The of this absorbing interest in him is
due the fact that Mr.. Johnston has interviewed him
upon the subject of religion, and in that interview
Mr. Johnston asserts, Kang Yu Wei has spoken well of
the Christian man-god Jesus, and Mr. johnson is
able the spiritual revival that is to lead China
into the Christian fold should conditions shape them
selves in the Orient to put the Emperor the throne
The story of this anticipated denouement does not
from Kang Yu Wei, himself, but it from Mr..
Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1908-11-01


And yet to Mr.. Johnston's words, the China
man, student though he may be, have but limited,
restricted dea of the character of Jesus portrayed
in the gospels for he is made speak approvngy of the
courage and manness of Jesus because of his persist
in working to fulfill his mission upon earth with
the certainty of death confronting him." In addition
to this the Chnaman is made to say that "Jesus is the
greatest single factor in the development of the Western
world"
Courage and manliness Let us take these suspected
qualities for consideration first.
Did not Jesus being god, know that he
death Was not his mission earth, terminating in
DEATH foreordained from the time of the fall! Was
the death of Jesus actually promised long before he was
supposed have been born? Was not his BIRTH death
and resurrection made the subject of biblical prophecy!
And the creature put his creator to death Was
Jesus god! Can god suffer? Can god die! Does
god need courage to face death! Man may, but a god
ought to. What would have become of the Chris
tan scheme of salvation if Jesus the god had lodged
the If Jesus suffered if he in the need of
courage to face death, then he could not be god.
But Jesus manly
Not according to the given by his biographer
There is nothing manly in cursing fig because it
did bear fruit of There nothing
ly in encouraging his disciples steal There
nothing manly in speaking with contempt of his mother,
the woman who had borne him. There nothing
ly' in hiding to dodge the soldiers There nothing
manly in cursng and abusing those who refused sup
port him. agree with him. he is recorded to have
done in the 23rd chapter of Matthew. There
neither courage manliness his agonzng and pteous
cry from the when he knew the game up. Con-
the death of Jesus with the death of Bruno Rob
ert Emmett
The most charitable view could possibly take of the
whole life and character of Jesus say that what has
been written about him is not true.
Could the exiled Chinaman knowing these facts have
given utterance such sentiments and knowing them,
would hope Jesusbelievers influencing Chinese
affarsg Just few years in America and Kang Yu Wei
may get his eyes opened to the true condition of affairs
about Jesus and the Western world.
But then have only Mr.. Johnstons word for aught
the contrary Perhaps the Chnaman said what is
attributed to him. If he did, Americans have way of
knowing that the wiley Oriental has habit of saying things

to establish a business that wouit
be welcomed to our community

financially to the pc pie.
Also. there is an inquiry from
a party that is considering this
place for the location of an arti-
fetal ice plant. In talking with
some of Fallon's influential citi-
zens, they expressed themselves
that this would be one of the
best places in the State. Consid-
ing the amount of ice that is
consumed by the people of Fal-
Ion and the supply that would be
sent out to the various towns and
communities, that Fallon is the
source of supply. There is no
question in our mind that an ice
plant would be a success and we
hope to see one in the near fut-
ure here in Fallon.
The Fallon Commercial Club
can assist in the building up OF
Fallon and this community and
make this one of the best valleys
in the state. Let all members
attend the meeting tonight and

crops of figs and two crops o.
pears each year. Peaches ripen
in May and cantaloupes in June.
From the latter gardeners have
made as high as S400 per acre in
in one year.
THE Moapa valley is the home
of the grape, which grows easily
and ripens to perfection in the
dry climate. Oranges, lemons,
palm trees, eucalyptus and Other
fruits and trees of lower Califor-

are thriving even better than in
their native state. One farmer
sold $1162 worth of asparagus
from a single acre and another
sold $4OO worth of lettuce from
one-quarter acre. Almonds, nuts
and pomegranites grow more
luxuriantly than anywhere else
known.
This valley was little known
until recently on account of its
isolation, but the building of the
Clark road has brought it to the
attention of the world and it has
proved one of fertile and valu-
