We may go by sending. Our gifts
may represent US on the foreign fields.

Who is the missionary? Is it alone
the person who journeys to foreign
lands, turning his back upon home
and loved ones for the gospels sake?
Such a definition excludes those who,
perhaps at great sacrifice, surrender
son or brother or friend. 1t shuts out,
also those whose gifts and prayers and
laborS at home make possible the de-
parture of the workers for foreign
fields. Surely it is not Gods plan
that a few individuals should be chos-
en- out of the ranks of all of Gods
faithful ones and to them be given the
high name of missionaries. Whoever
labors, in whatever manner or in
Gods kingdom on earth is a mission
airy. There is hope and cheer and
glory for all of Christ's friends in the
truth that to his eye there is no diff

Every true Christian is a missionary.
We may shut the Spirit of God from
our hearts bv shutting our purse to the
worlds needs.
There are many routes to the mis-
sion field. One is the prayer route.
BY 1T some of the worlds best mis-
sionaries have entered the field. An
route. Another is the gift route. An
other is the preach in person route.
These are all divinely appointed, and
at least one is open to every disciple.
The missionary church is a praying
church, reading church, and a CIV
ing church.
If men gave as much heed to their
personalities as they do to their
purses, they would be richer for two
worlds.

pointed, declares that the main reli-

"Send met one exclaims ''why

they whom he would send.

Senator Carter of Montana re-
Gently visited Oyster Bay, as is
the wont of certain statesmen and
men of affairs. Taking T. r.
aside, he confidentially whispered
into the Rooseveltian ears the
wonderful secret that of all the
states in the Union, Montana was
the only one which harbored no
insurgents.
Incidentally, the senator init
mated that a few words of good
cheer and of commentator to
take back to his constituents
would be duly appreciated. The
senator's term ends next March,
and of course a senator has to be
reelected before he starts in on a
new term.
Hardly had the senator reach
ed the Oyster Bay depot for the
return train when Lee Mantle,
former senator from Montana,
hustled up the Roosevelt steps
and gave the lie to the statement
that there were no insurgents
out Montana way. He pointed to
himself as an insurgent of the
deepest dye, and he said there
were enough others to elect him
-Mantle-to the senate to sue
coed Carter.

just as good and ironclad as If
the president had done the pen
and-ink work himself. In one
year Mrs. lie Roy will sign the
presidents name to $4,000 or
900 land patents. She doesn't
try to initiate Taft's handwrit-
ing.
Daniel Manning, as secretary
of the treasury once got around
this signing difficulty in another
way. A clerk rubber-stamped the
name, with the final "g" left off.
Then Manning added the "g" him
self, and made it legally his own
signature.

Mrs. LIE Roy's appointment last
March to her post as presidents
understudy. She is the widow of
Jas A. LIE Roy. Taft's intimate
friend during his Philippine days.
Her husband was buried in Pom
tiac, Mich, the day Taft was in
augurated. She has three chill
dren to support. The appoint
ment was entirely unexpected by

in the history of the city. There
was Just .01 of an inch of water
fell here in the 81 days of the

wash the dust off the leaves of
the trees. Nothing like it was
ever known. The lowest precipi-
tation ever known before was Fl
of an inch, which was in the dry
year of 1906. The average for
the last IA years has been SO of
an inch or over half an inch.
But while it is dry, the wealth
