 Foreign missions are prospering and growing in power. Prominent men of Japan recognize in the one hundred and fifty thousand followers of the Cross in that country greater in fluence than in the forty millions of the followers of Buddha. Corea. Chi ma. India. Africa. South America and the islands of the sea are responding to the message. A hundred years ago there were twenty-one ordained mis- sionaries in the foreign field and about thousand converts. Today there are five thousand mission stations, fifteen thousand out-stations, thirteen thOus- and ordained missionaries. sixty three thousand native helpers. and the con- yerts are numbered by the millions.
 Another reason why we should go forward is the time is ripe. Never be- fore in history has there been a time when so little leaven would have Ieav- ened the whole lump.

Another reason for going forward is the need for it. Physically. socially. morally, they need the gospel of our Lord Je- sus Christ. Confucianism says to the man struggling in the center of the lake Profit by your experience" :" Buddhism says. Struggle or go to sleep" Mohammedanism says, Whether you sink or whether you swim. it is the will of God;" Chris tianity says, Heres my hand," There is need of help without a question. and the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only religion that supplies that need. Another great reason why we should go forward is that we must go forward. carrying the gospel to those who do not have it if we would be fair. Christianity has raised us from the awful heathenism of our ancestors and in all fairness we must give it to oth- CTS. It is a just debt we owe. God expects us to pay it.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH REVIVAL.

Large audiences heard Evangelist Spiegel at both services and a number were added to the church. The inter- est in these meetings is such that no thoughts of closing could be entertain ed and services were announced for each evening through the week. The pastor. MT. Williams, is very much in disposed but was able to attend all the services yesterday. The evangelist an- nounced as his subject for this evening. The Sin Against the Holy Ghost: What is it, Who Commits it, and When?'
 In his discourse yesterday on Twentieth Century Christians" he said:
 Christians of today, ordinarily. hold in common to the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures; to the divine excel lency of Jesus as the Son of God and Savior; to the permanent and perpet- ual mission of the Holy Spirit; to the sinfulness of the race and its need of regeneration: to the efficacy of faith to the necessity of repentance; to the importance of confessing Christ; to rhe sacredness of-baptism; to the perpet- uity of the Lords Supper; to the ob- Iigations to fittingly observe the Lord s day; ito the recognition of the church as divine institutions: to the fitness and freeness of salvation; to the final punishment of the ungodly; to the eternal life and happiness of the re- deemed and saved.
 But because of our peculiar en- vironments I believe all Christians in the twentieth century should stand un- alterably pledged to Christian unity. Divisions among Gods people are sin ful. Christ's followers must unite be- fore any achievements commensurate with His gospel can be won.
 All Christians of today should ac- cept and urge upon others the accept ance of the New Testament as the only authoritative standard of Christian Christian union.
 Twentieth century Christians should recognize the simple confession of faith in Jesus as the Son of God and the worlds Savior as the only authorized statement of belief neces- sary to acceptance with God and mem- bership in the church of Christ.
 "All Christians of today should strive to adopt the customs and prac- tices of the primitive church, as re- modelled in the inspired writings, not only because they present the only possible ground upon which the fol- lowers of Christ can unite.
 "A progressive spirit should be cher ished by all the friends of Jesus. Be in position to accept truth as soon as it is proven to be truth. In word we should all make faith in Jesus as the true Messiah. and obedience to Him as our Law-giver and King, the only test of Christian character and the only land of Christian union, communion and cooperative, irrespective of all creeds. opinions commandments, and traditions of men,"

Following is a synopsis of Rev. Hen ry Martyr Campbelrs Sunday morning sermon on foreign missions, taking the two words which are found in the command of Jehovah to the children of Israel at the Red Sea. Go forward. '" Exodus I4:15), and applying this command to the church of today in re- lation to foreign mission work.
 A general in time of war may some times order a retreat. but our Captain never orders a-retreat. His constant command is Go forward and in those words the Church of Christ has its battle cry. The church Of today is face to face with the most import ant crisis of all the ages as regards the foreign mission movement
 There are many reasons why the church should go forward. We. as members of this particular branch of Christ'S church. should obey the com mand because it will make our work at home more successful.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Rev. OrVille Coats preached Sunday at the First Baptist church on the following text: How hard is it to enter into the kingdom of God" Mark 10:24.
 Humanly speaking it must have been a keen disappointment to Jesus when this rich young ruler, so earn est. so respectful. of such unimpeach- able character. failed to meet his test of discipleship. Alas for his riches if they served to turn Him away from the quest of good and sink his soul into perdition. Blessed are the poor for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" And Jesus looked around about, and saith unto His disciples. How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God. And the dis cipIes were amazed at His words. But Jesus answereth again. and saith unto them, Children. how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God Some of the most ancient manuscripts omit the words. for them that trust in riches. Whether the words should be omitted or not the more general statement of the inherent difficulty in entering the kingdom of God is certainly d fact.
 The gamblers spirit is in the at mosphere. Men want to get without giving. Riches are sought by means of speculation. luck. shrewdness. if not sharpness There is even a demand for an easy religion-One which does not demand too much. but at the same time one which makes the future cer- tain.
 Let us face the fact that Jesus de- clares that Tit is difficult to enter into the kingdom of God" He represents the difficult by d variety of images. For example. the gate" is narrow, the way" is contracted. Te those who asked whether few would be say ed He said, using a word filled with the associations of the Greek games. strive" literally. agoniZe, to enter in. In other words. Fight your way in He said it is easier for a camel to go through d needles eye than for d rich man. or one who trusts in any thing other earthly thing. to enter the kingdom of God. That is to say. hu manly it is impossible. But God can make it possible Those who come af- ter Him must take up their cross, l. e. be willing to die for Him. They must comparatively speaking. hate every body else if they are to be His fol- lowers-they must love Him supreme ly. None of these things are easy. They are all difficult.
 As d matter of personal experience Tt is difficult to enter into the king dom of God It is often possible to get into the church without much diff ficulty. There are churches which make it about as easy to come in as to stay out. But to enter the Kingdom of God involves three very hard expe riences:

his Imagination
1t is commonly believed that ami
mails suffering with this disease do
not drink water (hydrophobia, dread
of water which is a mistake. They
have no fear or dread of water, but
continue to drink as long as they
live, and the fact that suspected
dog is seen to drink or wade in
water is no proof that he is not mad.
The dumb form of rabies is very
common, and many know it as drop
jaw who have no idea of its true
nature; and yet, should one of these
dogs bite a person, or some of the
saliva get into "a wound ON the hand,
or elsewhere, it could produce the
disease and death with all its hor-
rors.
There is an erroneous and rather
stupid belief that if dog bites
person and afterwards contracts the
disease, that the person bitten will

for it whatever, and in this CON
uection | would most earnestly sug-
gest that when person is bitten
by dog that it is bad policy to
have the dog killed. Contine him,
and if he has rabies, he will die in
few days; but if he does not die,
the person may know that he or
she is safe. If, on the other hand,
he does die. no time should be lost
in consulting physician, if indeed
one has not already been consulted,
who will advise no delay in reach
ing Il Pasteur Institute, and attend
to the direct treatment of the
wound. lnasmuch as the death of
the dog is no proof that it was
caused by rabies, it is always well,
in fact, imperative, to place the ca
daver on ice and ship it to your ex-
pertinent station for examination
and diagnosis.
There is a prevailing idea that
has been handed down to us from
our forefathers, that dogs only 90
mad during dog days-July and
August the facts show that
just as many dogs go mad at one
time of the year as another. If
anything, more dogs go mad in
winter than in summer.

Battles With Large Eagle.

Battling with an immense eagle
which was swooping down danger
ously near his three-year-old baby
daughter, almost cost Jack"
Simms, a rancher near Plainview
on the Moffat road, an arm.
Simms' right shoulder was SO
torn by the eagles talons that it
was thought that his arm must be
amputated. Not until he visited
physicians in Denver was he as
sured that an operation would not
be necessary,
To get even with the eagle.
Simms brought it to Denver and it
was placed on display in window
of the Union Liquor and Wine
company.
The fight between man and eagle
took place last Friday. Margaret
Simms was toddling around among
the chickens, Simms was sitting on
the doorstep watching his child
play. Suddenly the eagle swooped
down in an effort to seize one of
the fowls.
The eagle missed and with a
scream spread its wings and glared
at the baby. Simms leaped from
the doorstep and threw himself at
full length on the bind, but it
wriggled from under him and be
gan to strike with its talons and
wings. Then followed battle
royal between eagle and man.
Eventually Simms tore off his coat
and threw it over the bird. But in
spite of this it sunk its talons deep
into his shoulder, cutting the flesh
into ribbons.
At last Simms conquered. He
put the eagle into an empty hen.
coop, which he chained to the
ground, and applied home remedies
to his wounds, but they did not
heal satisfactorily, so he came to
Denver to see physicians. They
placed antiseptic dressings on his
lacerated shoulder and told him to
go home and not worry.

Some Facts About Mad Dogs.

BY +. W. Culver. NJ. ID. C., Colorado Agri
cultural College. Fort Collins.
There are great many prevail
ing ideas relative to mad dogs that
are erroneous.
In the first place, rabies is not
the extremely rare disease that it is
generally supposed to be. FACTS
gathered by the Bureau Of Animal
Industry show that it exists and
has existed for years at the National
capital and throughout the United
States. Official reports show its
existence, but by no means its fire.
quency.
Rabies is much like other dis
eases in that it does not always
manifest itself by the same chain
of symptoms. For example,; "A dog
suffering with this disease is by no
means always mad and furious.
Flemming has well said that it is a
great and dangerous error to sup
pose that the disease commences
with signs of madness and that the
earliest phase of the malady is
ushered in with fury and destruc-
ton. The symptoms appear very
gradually, and at first one would
hardly suspect brain disease. Diff
Guilty in swallowing is an early
symptom, and frequently leads the
owner to suppose that the dog has
a bone in his throat. DR.. Salmon
says: "a dog which appears to
have bone in his throat, is, on
general principles, one of the most
dangerous ANIMALS in existence.
The supposed bone may be there,
but on the other hand the symptoms
which lead to this supposition may
