Fourth he is a teacher. He Is a
| wonderful teacher, and wonderful
preacher. What glory must have
been on his brow, what an eloquence
on his tongue. How little there is

ton, what few at which we really
can turn to look and say, this is
truly a great man, yet the eyes of
| men of every generation have turned
to look at him. What wonderful
| power to attract attention he had
when on earth. Multitudes I'm his
day trampled on each other to hear
and see him, even his enemies ad-
mitted that they had never heard so

''Take the Savior out of the life of
literature, and nothing Is left; take
the Inspiration of the Savior from the
great art productions, and nothing
remains; take him from music and
little remains; he has been the In
spration of all our great art, and
music and literature. What truly
striking figure he has been to chai-
lenge such thoughts and attention.

the sick and helping the down trod-

He can cure all our sinful, weak
bodies with touch of that INFINITE
hand which he is holding out to us
always with promise of eVerlast-
ing happiness and peace beyond un-
derstanding."
Mrs. IL. Il. Brewster, missionary
who has spent twenty years In the
most difficult and dangerous of the
foreign fields of China, talked interest
ingly at Wesley NJ. T.. church last
evening to those eager for the exten-
sion of Gods earthly kingdom.
"A new and practical phase of the
work was presented by Mrs. Brewster,
governmental influence. Missionaries
in the field have found that their con-
verts demand results rather than Wis
ionary tales of Christianity and the
wanders of Gods love. They want the
sort of examples of His love that et-
feet their every day life. Accordingly,
workers have found the surest way to
gain their confidence for themselves
and the King they serve is to make
the life of the Orientals an easier
and a better one. All reformatory
measures are introduced to the gov
