New hines Army,

The Rev. Ng Poon Chow, the Chi.
nese editor, who addressed the Inter.
UNCONVENTIONAL Missionary conference
in Calvary church last night, aroused
the disabilities Of his audience by .
well meant comment on the new army
which his country is now developing.
China" said the learned Oriental,
is raising a standing army Of one
million men,"
After a pause. in which he allowed
bis auditors to grasp the extent of his
statement, he added with an mimi
table Monaghan lisp:
China has never had q standing
army. 1t has slways been either .
running army or a sitting army."-San
Francisco Chronicle.

: Elijah is not the only servant
. Of God who has gone from glori.
. GUS victory on the mountain top
: down into the valley of discour-
. sgement ard doubt.
Here we find exempllfed
. that which is more than apt tc
2 be characteristic of every Chris
. tIan-the extremes of expert
: ence. The e~xaItation of the
. mountain top with its victories
: through faith, and the discour-
) asement of the valley with its
! lgnomInlous flight.
There is great contrast be-
! tween the heroic figure Of the
J prophet fe~arlessIy facing the
$50 prophets of Baal, and the
} fear-stricken prophet fleeing
from the angry threat of a wick
ed woman. And yet the only
difference was that In the one
case faith linked him with God,
and In the other doubt shut out
the vision of God and made him
forget his power.
Faith as il finds place in the
life makes all the difference in
the world as to the manner of
expression of that life. Faith
is needed In the times Of great
service and testing when the
eyes of the people are upon US,
and it is needed In the quiet
moments when we have not the
stimulus of active service to
buoy US up.
The really weak moments Of
the servant Of God nearly always
come In the time Of reaction,
after the successful service has
been rendered and nerves and
heart and brain no longer feel
the high tension.
II is In such moments of weak
ness that evil comes to put US
to flight and makes US forget
that the God who sustained on
the mountain top of service is
able to guard and keep during
the seasons of rest and retire
ment.
What encouragement there is
In this story of Elijah for the
Christian who fails. How pa.
tiently and lovingly God dealt
with him, and how loving and
patient God Is with his falling
children. like as a father pitt.
eth his children so the Lord pitt
eth them that fear him. For he
knoweth our frame; he remem- ,
bereth that we are dust"
"The flesh Is weak" as God ;
knows. We fail as did Elijah
even while u hearts desire bet I
ter things. But In such mo-
ments God does not cast US off. I
Nay, rather, he sends minister :
Ing angels to succor us and to I
lead US to the mountain Of his :
presence where with the still 4
small voice he may speak to our :
souls and erstore US to his fel. q

THE STORY.

IT IS marvellous how quickly nature
l recover from the dry, scorching
period Of the drought when the re-
freshing rain comes. We have al
seen grass and leaf and flower brown
and withered and dry and have judged
that 1t was past reviving. when behold
the rain has kissed its withered sur.
face, washing away the choking dust
and the refreshing water has trickled
down to the rootlets and given them
drink so that they could Jour new
life and beauty into the plant above,
and we see the face of nature trans.
formed and beaming forth with new
life and beauty.
So it was in the land of Samaria.
The drought of the three years had
been ended by that wonderful down.
pour of rain and where before there
was nothing but dry, brown grass and
curled, withered leaves the sun rose
upon a cen of reviving green.
Throughout the land there rested a
subdued consciousness that 1t was the
God of Israel who had wrought this
change. II the tragic events on Mount
Carmel had made the people trem-
bic and fear before the majesty and
power of God, the blessing of the rain
had revived their faltering and way
ward spirits and brought a new con-
sciousness of God.
Even Jezebel, who heretofore hath
murdered the servants of the Lord,
must know that the God of Israel is
the one God and that Baal is no god
at all" exclaimed the prophet Elijah
as he walked forth the morning after
his coming to Jezreel. How glad he
felt that his long period of exile was
over. How good to see the smiling
face of nature as she struggled back
to her verdant green.
God hath wrought nightly. Now
will the people listen to thu voice of
God servant and be led from the wor-
ship of Baal to the worship of the
true God. The land hath been purged
with the blood of the false prophets
and surely nov the people will throw
down the high places and affairs erect
ed to these strange gods and will
return to the worship of God. I am
glad that God hath permitted me to
live to see this day"
And the prophet sat down beneath
tne shade Of q friendly tree which
stood In his pathway and gave himself
UP to the contemplation Of the re-
forms which he hoped he would be
soie to bring to pass In Israel. He felt
ne could count on the help Of the PEG.
PIE and even Of King Ahab. The
shout Of the people as they had seen
tne answering fire Of Gods power de-
seending and consuming the sacrifice,
sui sounded In his ears: 1.-THE Lord,
ne is the God; the Lord, he is the
Yes" echoed the prophet, "he is
lne God. The people and Ahab have
% declared. and even Jezebel, / verify
Delieve, win yet give up her idols and
the living Ga."

TooIe's Practical Joke,

John Lawrence Toole, the most pop
ular low comedian Of his day, once
gave a supper to so Of his friends, and
wrote a note to each Of them privately
beforehand, asking him whether he
would be SO good as to say grace, as
no clergyman would be present. 1t is
said that the faces of those so men
as they ros in a body when Toole
tapped on the table, as a signal for
grace, was a sight which will never

Tit For at.

In Venezuela once noted revolution
airy plotter was put under what we call
bonds to keep the peace"
But, in addition, he was not allowed
to leave the city where he was resid-
ing.
.sI give you the city for prison,
was the courteous way the governor
OF Caracas phrased 1t.
Later on that pIotter came in with a
successful revolution, and the memory

aprison' a ranked within him.
So 1t gave him great pleasure to
throw the ex-governor of Caracas into
jail.
e .'I give you the prison for city," he
remarked as he did it.
