uring spiritual FORCES, yet
wv YOU should realize that there
are now 100000 adherents in
China OF the Christian Church. Compared
with the four hundred millions in China.
two millions Is not large. but the striking
part of it is that within the last five years
tho number OF baptized converts and the
number of communicates have doubled
If the same ratio Of progress were main
taaned for another thirty-six years there
will be in China about 1O0.OO0.000 of pro-
Tossing Christians.
Let us think of the great forces intro
duced in China by the Christian church.
The first is the great force OF Christian
love. The Golden Rule Of Confucius said
that we should not do to others as we do
not wish them to do to US. This Is far
different from the Golden Rule of the
Savior, that we should do to others as
we wish them to do unto us. One is pas
sive. the other Is active. No hospitals
or asylums have been built under the
Confucian rule, but under Christian in
huence II is worthy of note that Prot
estant missions alone in China have
founded 1915 hospitals and IA dispense
ries, which, with their branches, reach
100000 Chinese.
Another great force is intellectual en-
lightenmanI. The classical books of Con-
fucius left the Chinese more ignorant of
scientific truth than the boys in our
primary schools. The schools of the
Protestant missions now number some
300 primary schools. with an attend
ance of about 10000 pupils; some 37o
boarding schools and about p institutions
that would rank as colleges In this coun-
try Wherever a missionary goes he
POUNDS a school for both boys and girls.
The reforme~s who started the reform
movement In China, beginning In 1893. got
their ideas from the work done In China
by missionaries.
Still another tremendous force for
Righteousness is the uplifting Of woman
hood by the efforts Of the missionaries.
You will find much In Confucaus that Is
ennobling and elevating. yet nothing can
be found in alis teachings about the eleva-
ton or education Of women. Women are
regarded as inferior The popular belief
Is that the only hope a woman has is for
her spirit to be born again into a man

A Visit to the Board of Health.

His doubts were soon set at rest.
Jesus reached forth His hand and touch
ed him. II will: be thou Clean" He said
and no sooner were the words spoken
than the deed was done-the man was
cleansed. The legal notice might be
taken If the fact that he was fully
cleansed. he was instructed to go and
show himself TO the priests. the officially
constituted board of health, who would
make record of the wonderful cure and
order his restoration to the society of
those who We're well and strong. The
immediate performance of this public
duty was SO important that Jesus told
him to delay not even to tell others what
had happened to him. The priests must
know at once of the complete cure

I'm the east there is no more terrible
disease than leprosy. The victims
become outcasts Stunned by those
u who are in health for fear the dis
ease may be conveyed to them
should they mingle with the unfortu-
mates. In Jesus day no provision was
made for ameliorating the lot Of the vic
TINS Of the dread disease: they were
forced to care for themselves as best
they might. The law required that when
they approached other people they should
lift in the air their hands-frequently
there was little left to lift but stumps-
at the same time crying "UncIean, I'm
clean!' That sound was enough to make
those who heard scurry rapidly to a safe
distance.
But one day, in Gaiilee. One appeared
to whom the cry Of the leper was not
signal for retreat but an invitation to
perform one of the deeds of mercy In
which He delighted. Lord, II Thou wilt,
Thou canst make me Clean was the
pleading cry He heard-a cry which
showed both the faith and the lack of
faith Of the leper. His use OF the title
Lord showed that he had faith: again,
his words Thou canst'' indicated his
faith. But the lack of faith was shown
by the doubling. IF Thou wilt" He
knew Christ could heal him. But would
He? AS if there could be any doubt
what Jesus would do under such circum-
stances!
