Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning Oct. 30, 1910.

Beginning Oct. 30, 1910.
Topfc-My denomination at work IN
yther lands.-Ps II. Is Edited BY Rev.
sherman II. Doyle. D. D.
Five weeks ago we had this very
same subject as applied to our own
land But our denominations do not
limit their labors to the boundaries
Of our own land, TO our mainland and
H. islands. but to all peoples as far as
possible. Christ said to begin at home,
but also to continue the work of wit
Messing for Him unto the uttermost
parts Of the earth"
This, too, all Christian denomina-
lions are striving to do. Modern mis-
sions In foreign fields have rapidly In
creased since their origin little over
Z century ago.
The Old Testiment as well as the
New breathes the spirit Of foreign mis-
sions. In the second psalm perhaps
a. strongly as In any other place God
emphasizes this work. setting forth
through the psalmist the futility Of
heather opposition and the sure sue
cess finally of the kingdom OF Christ.
When first missionaries began their
work there was much opposition to
them. In China, India. Japan and the
isles Of the sea they were mistreated
and many times won the crown Of
martyrdom. This was not so much
because they were Christian mission
aries, but because they were foreign
ers. Most of these nations were
closed entirely to foreigners altogether.
China had its great wall to keep them
out. Japan, now so vigorous. was a
closed island to all foreigners, and
Commodore Perry Of the United States
navy was the first foreign naval oficer
to be received, and thereafter treaties
were made and foreign trade begun
and with it land sometimes here
and there a single missionary before
the missionaries. Blu. still ''the heath
en- ragged and often took their spite
out on the missionaries. But the
blood Of the martyrs" as In the time
Of the prosecutions by the Roman en-
pire, became the seed Of the church"
Kings and rulers took counsel togeth-
er, but with futile results. The king
dom was bound to make progress and
to win out in the end.
Had the church been but human 1t
might have been kept away, but in
stead 1t Is the church OF the living
God and nothing could stop 1t. While
they derided, God in the heavens laugh
ed and held them in derision and
brought them to position where the
door of every nation was and Is open
ed to missionaries, and they are free
from prosecutions, except in case OF
some local outbreak. which the author
tiles soon control.
Under these conditions God sent out
his servants to invite them ito be
wise" ito fear the Lord ito kiss the
Son. lest he be angry and We perish. .
The people. no longer derisive, are
listening to the cali Of Gods messen-
gers and by the thousands are coming
into Christ's kingdom.
The societies OF each denomination
should study the work Of their own de-
nominations.

Dear NJ. B. Friends.

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

the future to send in your observations

city which represents 80 much in our New
England states.

lighted to honor has passed away within .

HIGH WATER IN POTOMAC.
Strong Current Seriously 1nterferes
With Sailing Vessels,

The heavy and continuous rains OF the
past week are causing a heavy current
in the creeks feeding the Potomac below
this city, and from the upper river the
water is coming down with a rush that
promises to develop into an unusually
strong current. Already the current Is
heavy enough to seriously interfere with
the movements of the sailing vessels, but
the tugs and steamers are able to make
their usual time against it.
The water in the river is unusually
high, and at high water both yesterday
and this morning 1t went over the sea
wall about the Potomac Park, and flooded
all the low lands on the Virginia side OF
the river. In OccoQuan creek the freshet
came down with q rush Sunday, and YES
sells that were lying in the creek were
torn from their moorings and taken down
the stream in spit Of all efforts to hold
them.
The barges Totuskey and Patuxent.
which were lying at Occoquan loading
ties for Philadelphia. were taken
by the current and carried about three
miles down stream from their moorfng
places before the men aboard them could
get the anchors to hold. Reports state
that the vessels were not damaged, nor
has any damage been done by the high
water. The tug Capt. Toby was yester-
day sent to the assistance OF the two
barges, but, In consequence of the down
rush Of water, she was unable to reach
the boats.

RECORD FOR CENSUS PEOPLE.
District Enumeration to Be Rapid
and Correct.

The collection of data In the District
of Columbia for the thirteenth census
will break all previous records for rapid
ity and the correctness of the work, it
was said today by a census official. Prac-
tically all the information will be in hand
by Wednesday. Supervisor William s.
Broughton said today that but little diff
ficulty has been experienced in gathering
the data. One cause of some little ex-
element was the placing Of advance
schedules in boarding houses. These
schedules were given to the landlords and
landladies with instruction to get all the
needed Information from their boarders.
Trouble arose when the schedules were
spread on tables in the parlors or dining
rooms and the guests asked to fill in the
blank spaces. The women boarders were
supersensitive about writing their ages
for the inspection of the other boarders.
In many cases it is declared the women
entered their ages at figures far below
the real ones. Then 1T was recalled that
the census act provides severe penalties
for the giving of false information, and
the more conscientious of the women
visited Mr. Broughton's office and asked
permission to change the figures to those
representing their real ages
The trouble could have been avoided"
Supervisor BrOughton said, had the
enumerators used individual schedules as
required by the rules. instead of the gen.
eral blanks for number of persons"
