The Christian Superiority.

From Ceylon comes message which
shows how even the enemies Of Chris
tianty are compelled to pay tribute to it:
\ Buddhist monk who was acquainted
with both Christianity and Buddhism was
once asked what he thought was the
great difference between the two. He re-
piled: There is much that is good in
each of them. and probably in all reli-
gions. But what seems to me to be the
greatest difference is that you Christians
know what is right and have power to
do it, while we Buddhists know what is
right, but have not any such power"
One of the reasons why Christianity is
making such Roadway is because it's
teachings show men how to be kindly and
courteous aud loving to all about them.
even to the women in the home. That
word even" sounds startling to Ameri-
cans. but to many orientals the startling
thing is the fact that occidentals pay SO
much regard to women. When the COM
mercial emissaries from Japan returned
home last year. after a tour of America,
one of their harshest criticisms Of Ameri-
cans was occasioned by the evidences of
respect everywhere shown to women.

What the Steers Taught.

Does 1t seem strange that He should
talk of bearing a yoke In the same
breath that He made the invitation to
rest? Yes, but when the yoke is borne
in partnership with Him 1t means rest
in the midst Of work. Mark Guy Pearson
explained how this could be done when
he said: Il had finished my sermon when
a good man came to me and said. II wish

preach about. 1 could have told you

When Jesus Spoke Plainly.

Jesus came to the world to bring a
message Of peace. Day after day He
stood before the people, speaking kindly
to them, giving them every assurance OF
His love and His desire to help them. put
ting his hand on their heads inviting
them to be His followers and to share the
joys He had ready for His own. But
most Of them were Indifferent. Every
day when the multitudes came to Him
how eagerly He must have scanned the
faces to see If there were former ac-
quaintances in the company! There were
men and women whom He had helped in
misfortune, whose diseases He had heal
ed, whose children, perhaps, He had
raised from beds of sickness. Some of
these came to Him, and showed that they
loved Him and were eager to hear His
words. But He looked in vain for follow
ers from Chorazin and Bethsaida, though

has been instrumental in saving many
souls.
A very interesting part of the McAn
work is that done by means of two mis-
sion boats-one Of which is on the Seine
and the other on the Loire. They are
fitted up as chapels, and tugboats take
them from town to town, where services
are held. An automobile is also used to
distribute tracts and portions Of the Bible
through the country.
The first Protestant mission work in
Spain dates back to 1916. and was under
taken by the English Wesleyans. at Glib
raltar. In 1859 a mission was estab-
lished at Barcelona, and shortly after
work was undertaken in the Balearic
Islands, off the coast of Spain The
Christian Endeavor societies have been
specially successful in spreading abroad
the Gospel story. There are now six
senior and six Junior societies in Bar
celona, and the bright-eyed Spanish chill
dren greatly enjoy being taught Bible
stories.
Some eight Protestant denominations
have missions established in Spain. A
venerable preacher of Madrid said at
the Barcelona National Christian Endea-
vor convention: II have been inspired by
all that have seen. l never want to die
but to live to see the salvation Of God,
which will surely come to Spain" This
is the hope that Christian Endeavor in
spires there.

From every quarter of the earth come
the tidings that show how the King OF
Kings is conquering the hearts OF men.
One of the most recent messages is from
Korea. A native official once told DR..
Underwood. the veteran Korean mission
airy, that his people were too poor to be-
come Christians. Since they could hardly
make living by working thirty days a
month. it was absurd to expect them to
observe the Christian Sabbath. There
upon a bystander remarked: "If you'd
go to a town a few miles down in the
country you'd see that Christianity works
the other way. That town used to be

province, and it's now clearly the most
prosperous. 1t keeps the Christian Sab

Brotherhood-A Splendid Word

Cursed be the man who dares withhold
1t from Gods children. whether he be a
monopolist by virtue Of his wealth or by
reason of his temporary power.
The most beneficent influence of trades
unionism Is not so much in its helpful
ness in securing better pay and shorter
hours for those who are already in fairly
good circumstances. but in the brave fight
that it is making for the woman and the
child who suffer because of mans avarice
and greed. 1t is in it's efforts to secure
better things for the man who tolls away.

been so low that few have heard his
cry. May the arm of organized labor be
made strong in its defense of those who
need it's help. And in its efforts In be-
half of these it should have the co-opera-
ton Of every real brotherhood
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother"

ty-five languages.
Only a few thousands of dollars were
given yearly for foreign missions.
There were no medical missionaries

phanages.

Missionary work was not recognized In
American and British colleges.
There were no unmarried women mis-
sionaries and no organized work FOR
women.

cies for preparing and distributing Chris
tan literature in non-Christian lands
1916
Practically every nation in the world is
open to missionaries.
All evangelical churches are interested

lands, besides all who have died in the
faith.
There are nearly 22O00 foreign mission
aries in the world.

Woe to the Impenitent.

He would try. Then began He to up
braid the cities where most Of His mighty
works were done, because they repented
not, and He said:
Woe unto thee. Chorazin! Woe unto
thee, Bethsaida! 1t shall be more toler-
able for Tyre and Sidon in the day of
Judgment than for you. And thou. Ca
pernaum, which art exalted unto heaven.
shall be brought down to hell! 1t shall
be more tolerable for Sodon in the day
of judgment than for thee
People tremble as they read these words
Of woe spoken against the cities whose
inhabitants would not receive Christ. But
do they stop to think how much greater
is their own responsibility? They knew
Jesus as worker of wonders and a
preacher of power. But people today
know of His entire ministry and of His
crucifixion and His resurrection II they
had seen and heard enough to enable
them to become the followers of Jesus,
and were condemned for not doing So
what of those who have so much greater
revelation. anc yet are so half-hearted in
His service?
