Bible in a Barn.

An ignorant Japanese served as cook
in an American family In San Francisco.
His favorite resort was nook in the
barn. where number of old books had
been piled. He was trying to learn Eng
lish, and the books stimulated his curios-
ity, and busted him for hours.
fellow-countryman visited him. One
book with gilt-edged leaves attracted this
friend. He opened 1t. and the two spelled
out Holy Bible" and wondered what it
meant They agreed to investigate, and
procuring an Anglo-Japanese lexicon, the
cook and his companion met as often as
they could and pored over the pages of
the Bible together.
One evening another fellow -countryman,

Encouraging Signs.

But while there are discouraging signs
there are reasons for encouragement, too.
There is white slavery perhaps, but
there are everywhere those who are
proud to be known az servants of the
King, who are striving to uproot the
evil. There may be immigrants who are
irreligous, but there are ways by which
God is winning the immigrants to Him
self. For instance, in a company of a
thousand Koreans that recently crossed
the ocean there was one Christian man,
who talked to his fellows so persistently
that before they landed about two hun
dred and fifty were Christians with him.
Take another instance. related some
years ago in the Youths Companion,
which is being duplicated in one way or
another in many parts of the land.

By the Churchman.

TT PHO are the big men in Amer
lea today? Are there any
NM successors to George Wash
w ington. for example? In
stinctiveIy we think. when
such questions are asked, OF this or
that railroad magnate or captain of
industry or statesman. Not to dispar-
age their calling or question their
greatness, why do so many of us
know SO little about another type of
greatness-the greatness of sheer good
ness. the greatness that arises from the
ability TO interpret the ways of God to
men, to fortify us for the daily strug-
gle. to cheer us on into the shadows?
Let us cultivate little more famil-
farity with the big Christians of our
time. those who have lived in the midst
of modern conditions and borne their
beautiful witness to the things of the
spirit. Two of them have just been
brought to public attention.
The dedication in Boston of memo
rial tablet to Phillips Brooks. citi-
zens' offering, has led to revaluation in
many quarters of the matchless pulpit
abilities OF this great preacher. per-
haps the greatest preacher whom Amer
lea has yet produced. Though he has
=
come up to take his place, and the pas
sage of time has hardly dimmed his
image in the hearts of multitudes to
whom he spoke the living word, or who
read his printed sermons.
Phillips Brooks, richly lowered by
nature with poetic susceptibilities. a
lively ina gination, unusual capacity
for reading and study and a sympa-
thetic spirit, inheritor of the culture
and piety of illustrious forbears. train
ed in the best schools, came to his pull
pit charged with the enthusiasm of a
prophet burning to deliver his message.
In Philadelphia, Boston. London and in
many other cities his voice rang out
over great congregations hushed into
silence by his eloquence.
He took the central message of the
gospel. stripped il of it's theological ac-
cretions and its ecclesiastical associ-
ations and drove it home to the every
day needs of plain men and women.
The richness of the Christian life was
his one theme He used to say that he
had but one sermon, and. indeed, all
his discourses conferred about these two
thoughts-hrst, the eternal belonging OF

ices They did their work in the spirit
of loyal Christian Endeavorers until one
day something went wrong and good
old officer of the church attempted to set
things right. The young people were dis
gruntled and refused to go on with their
work. In fact, they went on small
strike. declaring that they would not
move a finger in the service of the
church.
The pastor was disturbed. What could
he do to set matters right and break the
strike? He thought Of various methods.
At last he determined to approach the
chairman Of the strike. manly fellow
Meeting him on the street, he began:

It Is the Life That Counts.

This was what Jesus meant when he
told the people who listened to the ser
mon on the mount that it was not the
simple and easy thing to be Christian
some careless people might think it to be.
1t is not a mere matter of saying. Il am
Christian without proving it by a care
full life. a life spent in accordance with
Christ's teachings. The test of a mans
earnestness is not his profession. but his
deed 1t is easy to say. Lord. Lord" 1t
is not SO easy to prove the sincerity of
the speech by doing the will of the Lord.
Others may be deceived by an empty pro-
fession. the pretender may even deceive
himself but there will be no deceiving
the Lord on the great judgment day.
Their claim, "Have We not prophesed
delivered, Gods message) in Thy name?"
will have no effect if the prophecy has
not been given from a faithful heart; the
doom of those who Serve God with the lips
only is sure. Depart from Me, we that
work in iniquity," will be the sentence pro-
nounced on them.

AFTER BOOZE SELLERS.
Revoke Licenses of Bookkeeping
Druggists.

The state board of pharmacy will
take a hand in rejection of applica-
tons of licenses by druggists con-
victed of selling liquor illegally in
counties that have adopted prohibit
ton, according to announcement
made after conference with Attorney
General McDougall relative to juris-
diCtion in such matters. The board
assumes that it is vested with the
power to reject an application for a
renewal of license for cause and that
violation of the local option law con-
stitutes sufficient cause. Acting
on the opinion rendered by the attor-
ney general it is said the board has
refused applications for four licenses.
Appeal may be taken from the action
of the board to the governor and at
torney general. The board takes the
position that if it is to permit illegal
sales of intoxicating liquors in local
option counties or allow men who
will wilfully make such sales to con-
tinue in business, the purpose and |
of the board will soon be I
destroyed.
