And If we are going to Christian tp China wem ust do it within the next ,, nrty years, for after that it will be too U In Thirty Years.
 IL This was the testimony of a Christian lnissionary who knew China well. Now If it is true. as I believe it is, it indicates that the Chinese government has states manlike sagacity. They found that their method of education did not produce good Fesults-did not produce the results they Expected from it, so they have changed
 t. That is wise course. Thinking over
 t. wonder whether we, as a Christian l;ommunity, ought not to do the same thing. Our methods are not producing the effects we expected. Where is the fault? What is the cause of the poor spiritual Harvest? So thi morning I want you to 'join with me in following the prophets advice. Let us .cnosder our ways"
 Now. l think the fault is not that you are unwilling to work for Christ. You are like the people of my text, who as husbandmen have scattered the seed far and wide. But at the time of harvest you have only gathered in few miser- able grains of wheat. all withered up and almost useless. Now, are you willink to let me diagnose the spiritual failings of your life? And remember that when l am preaching against your spiritual faults J am diagnosing my own spiritual short comings as well.
 Our scanty spiritual harvests, in the first place, are due to our lack of loyalty to God. We are not as a class devoted heart and mind and soul to his service. We only give to him a lukewarm ale glance. Indeed, most of us-apd I speak the words calmly and deliberately-do not know what the word loyalty means in any department of Nife. We do not know the full significance of alying ourselves to man or institution. And we are just as lukewarm to our spiritual king.

Perhaps you give away hundreds or uoi- lars annually to help the poor and the sick But 1 ask you to consider whether you plant the best seed to obtain the spirit ual harvests. Christian work means more than simply giving bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked and medi- cine to the sick. Christian work em- phatically means the seed planting or Jesus Christ in the hearts of your Tel low men, If you will only bring the di- vine personality of Christ in touch Wlth your fellow men, he will lift men up out of their sins and make men ike unto himself Oh, friend, from now let the chief purpose of your life be to get the greatest spiritual harvest by seeking chiefly to plant the spirit of Jesus Christ in the hearts of your fellow men! Con slider your ways Ye have sown much, hut bring in little" Will you not ponder well upon his promise? He tells us what he can do if we only plant him arlght. And I. If I be lifted up, Will draW all men unto me. -
 But I am not more impressed with the poorness of the seed which we go forth to plant in our spiritual fields than l am with the rockiness and barrenness Of the soil in which we are dropping this seed. 1 care not how good the seed may De- II the soil is barren there is no use In pant ing any seed there. For instance, the soil lining the banks Of the rlVer NHe IS the richest in the world. On 1t you can grow two or three crops of wheat each year But if you turn your back upon the riVer Nile and travel five, ten miles over the Sahara sands you can have the land Tor nothing. for IL is a barren land. The water will run through is as through sieve Besides that, no water can be drawn so far away from the Nile to i'ri- gate the desert, even though the sands would hold the water.
 A soil for the farmer is worth Just In proportion to what it can produce, no more and no less. A few years ago l was travelling over the Dakota prairies, and stopped with the owner of large wheat ranch The mans farm extended Tor miles and miles away If that farmer had been dependent upon the old fash
 toned ways of scattering the seed with his hand and reaping with the sickle, he could not have placed under cultivation one-tenth e hs farm. 1 asked him: How can you rtilize suRA an immense area Of agricultural land? 1he winter snows cora on so soon after &rvest l should , think you would/not have the time" The man laughed Why" sa |, he,,'.we never fertilize sAe Dakota whe fields This his is pracneap eEirgir..nYHJ XAen he led me to ous than in the dg( At,sSas was s nSr vegetables under rod,

Last Saturday afternoon, Just when
the shoppers were thickest. fire broke
out on the sixth floor of the ten story
Andrus building, Nicollet avenue and
Sixth street. one of the busiest corners
of the Minneapolis retail district.
Smoke poured from the windows. In
a few minutes not less than 5000 per.
sons had gathered, with eyes focused
on the upper stories of the tall build
ing. the windows being crowded with
occupants, who either sought the fresh
air or peered out to see what was the
matter Many were young women
|stenosraphers and Office attendants.
There was no stampede and no lives
We're endangered, although the street
crowd feared at one time that some of
tho young women might leap to death
and shouted warnings to them to keep
cool. A general fire alarm was sound
cd and it was not long before ladders
had been run up to the sixth story.
BY that time, however. all danger of a
holocaust was over, and none OF those
in the building was taken down. The
flames were quickly extinguished, two
lines of hose being all that were neces-
sary. The damage done was tritling.
An old leather pocketbook, contain
ing between $1,000 and $4,000 in money
and checks was found upon the body
of Miss Eleanor OBrien, who died Sat
urday morning at the age of II years.
At the time of Miss O'Briens death,
1t was thought that she left no estate
and the burial was to have been ar
ranged by Z. NJ. Mortimer, a relative
of the deceased, Mrs. Mortimer being
a niece Of Miss O'Brien. Harry Hurl-
burt, from John M. Gleason's undertake
ing rooms. was called Saturday to en-
balm the body and prepare it for bur
ial. Miss O'Brien died at the home of
Mrs. George Stintzi, 1916 Fourth ave-
nue. south, and it was not known that
the old lady had any large sum of
money. The undertaken found the
purse containing the savings and it
has boen turned over to relatives. The
body was taken to saltwater and the
funeral services were held at ST. Mich
acl's church. Miss OBrien was born
in Bangor. Me-, and came West early
with The family. She has been a resi-
dent Of Minnesota for the past so years
and during that time has lived at Ma
rine. st. Cloud, saltwater, st. Paul and
this city, She is survived by Mrs Elias
Mortimer, Mrs. Wesley, Michael
OBrien. Miss Margaret Wesley, Miss
Lou Wiles and Mrs. Philip Herzog, of
st. Paul.
