about one hundred years, when the first
Christian missionaries went to that
country. -. Fifteen years ago the
first New Testament was introduced
into the royal palace" Seldom has such

Visiting Day.
(From Success.)


Isn't it pitiable to see a man made f.
| dominate the universe and who ought
to be a giant, going all to pieces over
trifle in his office, losing his head
| over little things with his office boy
or stenographer, things which would
not cause the slightest disturbance in a
| strong, robust man?
There are thousands of people in this
country who are enduring a living
death, who are tortured with ambitions
that they can not satisfy. Many of
them are college-educated, and vet their
hands are tied by the lack of health.
Whlch they lost while trying to get their
education, trying to prepare themselves
for a great career.
IL we could only have a national
health ideal instead of a national dis
ease ideal-an ideal which is based upon
our inherited belief that a certain
amount of sickness and disease is a ne
cesslty-our health standards would be
raised UNNECESSARILY in this country.
Inc time will come when we shall
look upon all this waste of energy and
loss OF opportunity, the almost univer-
sal suicide upon many years of orr
LVes, as a positive sin. Think of what
loss to the world results from the
withdrawal from active work of mil
lions of our people who are in
capacltated by preventable i'll health.
Health and harmony are the great
normal laws of our being, and our suf-
Ierlng comes from wrong thinking. from

Once in a While.

(By Nixon Waterman.)
once in while the sun shines out,
And the arching skies are a perfec
blue;
once in while mil clouds of doubt
Hopes brightest stars come peepins
through,
Our paths lead down by the meadow:
fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms nod an6
smile,
And we lay aside our cross of care
Once in a while.
once In while within our own
We clasp the hand of a steadfast
friend;
once in while we hear tone
VI love with the hearts own voice to
blend;
And the dearest of all our dreams
come true.
And on life's way is a golden mile:
Each thristing flower is kissed with
dew
Once in while
once in a while in the desert sand
we find spot of the fairest green;
once in while from where we stand
Inc nils of Paradise are seen;
And a perfect joy in our hearts we
hold,
A joy that the world cannot defle,
we trade earth's dross for the purest
gold
Once in a while.
