the sweepers. Having nothing to LOSE
by accepting Christianity, thousands
Of these have embraced the gospel:
and they are to-day entering the
Christian church in large numbers.
The motives of many are doubtless
mixed, but they at least afford the
missionary material on which to
work. The material is not Of the best,
but It Is human. Here. AS in all
heather lands, it is to be borne in
mind that the missionary is really
after his converts grandchildren; no
missionary known to me expects to
see a completely transformed and
Christianized people come out of raw
heathendom.
So he bears with the shortcomings
of his Christians. He laboriously tries
to set them on their feet, and though
they fall a hundred times from the
ideals Of self-respect and self-support,
coming to him with the bland assur-
ance, You are my father and my

"Swadeshi" signs may be seen in
abundance on the stores of tradesmen
who have pledged themselves to deal
in India-made wares exclusively. This
commercial and industrial side of the
"Swadeshi' movement has a direct re-
lation to the industrial teaching in
0ission schools. The native papers
are full of "Swadeshi" talk; and it is
not wholly absent from the praise
worthy national missionary organiza-
ton which Indians have organized, the
object being to further the evangeli-
zation by native Christians alone, un-
aided by foreigners. Furthermore, one
frequently runs across "Swadeshi"
mass meetings; l found one under
way in College square here, with hun
dreds of students listening eagerly to
the impassioned speeches. 1t was
rather surprising that the Y. M. C. A.

REAL ESTATE MANS DREAM.
Buys Last Lot on Most Crowded 0pot
on Earth, But Assn't Collateral.

Speaking about the phenomenal
value of real estate In the crowded
parts of Manhattan island" said the
real estate man, Il had 4 dream last
night Of a place where land was 30
valuable that it made land here seem
like acreage property.
This place was on an isthmus be-
tween the two hemispheres, q narrow
strip of land that was the most crowd
cd spot on earth. There WAS just one
street along through this isthmus, and
all creation that passed from one hem
isphere to the other had to pass along
this thoroughfare.
"Sure, this was a place to do busi-
ness, II there ever was one, and BY
gracious there was vacant lot on the
great isthmus thoroughfare, just one
vacant lot, with sign stuck up: For
Sale. to Close an Estate. Inquire of
So-and-So.'
And of course, I sort of saunters
into the Office indicated on the sign
right away, and l says to- the man
there:
What are you asking for that lot
down there at 22?" And he says:
"a million dollars a front foot
GLOW much is there of it?' asked
him, and he says:

estate, and the only wonder to me was
that somebody hadn't snapped It up
before I came along.
$50 l bought the only vacant lot on
the great itsthmus thoroughfare, and
the man said he'd have the papers
made out right away and could drop
in at 9 o'clock the next morning and
pay the money and he'd hand over the
deed; and then l went out and stood
on the sidewalk and saw those wond-
erful multitudes of all the peoples of
the earth, passing in those amazing

people passing on Broadway and

And was congratulating myself
like that, watching the people go by.
when all of sudden it struck me that
