Modern Turpentine Gathering.

Twenty million turpentine cups are
used In the pine forests of the south
to catch the flow of resin from the
trees, and 100000 or 100000 arc
added each year. These simple:look.
ing cups, which are not unlike flower
pots in size and shape, indicate a
rapid and highly important change in
the American method of gathering
turpentine, due to the need of econo-
my in using all forest products and to
the application of science in an old
fashioned industry.

PURSUING A PROFESSION
 UNDER DIFFICULTIES

Medical men in the United States and Europe can avail themselves in cases of emergency of telegraphs, tele- phones. railroads and other modern annihilators of space. Not so with the physician in China. except in few cities where Western ideas and methods have been adopted. One of the medical missionaries working un- der the American Board gives q graph tc picture of a recent visit to patients living at five different places, all with in 200 miles of his station. The jour nay required eleven days. He started out in a sedan chair but his two bear CTS. being opium smokers, caused so much delay and annoyance that at the end of thirty miles. he decided to walk.
 His luggage consisted of food enough for the entire trip, cooking utensils and bedding, a load of medicines and instruments, also literature to distrib- ute among the Chinese, for they are a great reading people.
 Fancy an American doctor starting on a round of visits with such a par aphenalia- Its weight 160 pounds, was divided between two carriers who miles per day with apparently little fatigue The route took them along fields where rice was being harvested by precisely the same methods used B. 900 years ago. There were no roads, in our sense of the word, nothing but a narrow footpath paved with small, round stones, which had become smooth and slippery from being traversed by thousands of sandaled feet for cen turies. Naturally a foreigner becomes a little footsore walking over these stones. Another drawback was the na- tive inns. full of dirt and vermin, where they had to spend three nights.
 On reaching village the doctor made straight for the little chapel, used both as a place for Christian wor- ship and a school house. and thither the natives ffocked for treatment. The scene, at such a time..is almost an ex- act parallel of the ono mentioned in Luke iV: 40. The natives pastors in these villages are intelligent and of- ten well educated men, being gradu- ates of the mission schools. With the present craze for Western learning they could easily earn more money in government positions. But believing that Christianity is the supreme need of China at this hour, they stick to the work of spreading its truths. A typical case is that of a young preach or who manages somehow to support n wife and four children on the muni- ficent salary of $3.50 in gold per month! As the medical missionary tour among these people. and sees what stuff they are made of, he prefers to pursue his profession there. in spite of the difficulties, to an easier job in the United States.

JAPAN IS NOW THE SCHOOL
 TEACHER OF THE ORIENT

This Is the role which Japan Is now playing among the nations of the East. Through the l200o and more Chinese students in Tokio and elsewhere Japa- nese ideas are greatly influencing China, and even India Is being stirred by her distant neigh bor. Last year the President of the Doshisha. one of the foremost universities of Japan. in company with the president of q gov ernment school In Tokio, made lec- ture tour through the principa! cities of India. Their visit created quite a
 ~' 'tnn. especially their claim that Japan's success lies in Christian edu- cation. Their audiences were Brah- mins of high degree. prominent jaw yers. merchants. bankers and other natives of Influence. They also had large gatherings among the students in Calcutta, which Is a great educa- tional center, and in other places. President Harada was graduated from Amherst and Yale and Mir. Motada, his companion, from Johns Hopkins. Both are the direct product of missionary effort In Japan. If the American Board had done nothing else than to train such leaders as these, who are helping to shape the educational pol- icy of great empires like China and India, 1t would be well worth the out lay of men and money. Of the intel leetual life Of the Japanese themselves an American tourist writes;
 The visitor needs not to search for signs of it. To me 1t seemed that I ran across school houses of every grade about as often as in America. Whether in city or distant hamlet the sight of children going to and from school was never wanting. In higher schools the boys wore a navy blue uni- form of European cut and a cap bear ing the insignia of the school: the girls have adopted a straight, pleated skirt which is worn over the Japanese costume. the wide sash being aban- doned. And what a nation of readersi Tn waiting rooms. on trains and steam boats most travellers were absorbed with papers, magazines or books"

 Alabama Baptists celebrate this year the tooth anniversary of the organiza- ton of the first Baptist Church in this State.
 Tn 1908 our State was 6 bowling will derness as compared with its present condition. There were no railroads; the beautifully graveled roads that tra- verse our State in so many directions were unknown; the telegraph. tele- phone, steamboat. automobile, were all unknown to the civilization of that day. There were long trails. simple by-paths. extending In every direction, one of these extended from Nashville to Pensacola. On this trail were three settlements, one on the Tensas River in Baldwin County; one at St. Stephens in Washington County, and one in Mad ison County on the Tennessee.
 The modern saw-min and brick kiln were unknown and of co1rse their dwellings were crude affairs of logs with dirt floors and with fiues or chim- neys of clay mortar held together with sticks laid across and called stick and dirt" chimneys.
 Those rugged old pioneers suffered great privations in their wild surround ings. but in 1t did not forget the God whose they were and whom they serv-
