a common sense, Scriptural way, we
could evangelize the world. in this
generation.
China is not "away off yonder,"
like it used to be, anyhow. China is
nearer to us today than California
was in the forties. The telegraph
and the steamboat have made them
our next door neighbors. We ought
to take advantage of that and take
them into our own wOrk-make them
a part of our own circuit Every
church or pastoral charge ought to
have two preachers, one at home and
one in the foreign field. Some of our
big city churches ought to be put
back into circuit again-into one
having several appointments, each
served by an assistant preacher. Then
at our quarterly meetings these as
sistant preachers could make out their
report on the spiritual condition of
the church, the members and state
of the Sunday schools and the pas
toral instruction of children" and
hand it in along with that of the
preacher in charge and We woulGs
know what he was doing. Under th@

today have. Robt. .Raikes had not
started his Sunday school. All the
Sunday Schools had not been organ
lied into missionary society with
the little fellows all coming up once
a month with their nickels and dimes
and dropping them into the mission
airy box. Our ladies had not organ
lied the Woman's Home and Foreign
Missionary Society. They had no
Juvenile societies, no baby rolls, nor
mite boxes. St. Paul did not have a
central parent board that received 40
per cent. of all the money collected,
with every preacher in the connection
acting as collection agents. He did
not have strong financial board to
back, who if the preacher got lit
tie careless or the people slow about
paying could go to the bank and bor-
row money and pay him his salary
monthly or quarterly in advance, so
that he would not feel cramped for
want of funds. He did not have any
of this. He tells us he worked with
his own hands for fear he would be
burden to the church. Once when
he was on one of his missionary tours,
he came to city called Corinth, and
he found there an old Jew by the
name of Aquila and he was making
tents. And as this was ST. Paul's
occupation he tells us he was a
tent maker by trade-he formed
partnership with old Aquila and they
made tents all the week and ST. Paul
went into the synagogues and
preached on Sundays. While there
the Lord appeared to st. Paul and
told him not to be discouraged for
he had much people in Corinth. He
remained there a year and six
months, he and old Aquila making
tents all the week for a living and he
going into the synagogue and preach
ing on Sundays. See Acts 10.
If st. Paul were here today and
tried to do now like he did then our
preachers would not let him enter
one of their pulpits We don't have
tents like they used to have in those
old Eastern countries, but we have
lots of umbrellas. If St. Paul were
to go to Macon and mend umbrellas
all the week, and then go to Mulber-
ry Street Methodist Church on Sun
dan and want to preach to that re-
fined, cultured congregation, why,
good gracious alive, that old tramp,
that old umbrella member, that old
tent maker, wanting to occupy the
pulpit Of Mulberry Street church at
the II o'clock hour on Sunday! Some
of our missionaries in China say the
reason it costs them so much to live
is that they have to have a half doz-
en- house servants and they must be
respectable. They could not enter
the upper 400 Of Chinese society.

have gone at it wrong. If the church

farmers in South Georgia who say
they believe if the heather world or
China is ever brought to Christ it
will be through the preaching of the
Gospel and not by giving them a
common school education or even
teaching them analytical geometry
and calculus, nor by building fine
dental parlors, nor by endowing con-
servatories of music where our for

The Apostolic church, the primi-
tive church in the first century, liter
ally carried out the command of the
Master to go into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature.
They went into the then known
world and preached Christ and Him
crucified to everybody. They even
preached it to the negroes. The
eunuch that Phillip baptized was a
negro no doubt about that. He was
an Ethiopian. His skin was black,
his head kinky, his lips thick, his
nose fiat and the hollow of his foot
made hole in the ground. Ethiopia
was a province of Africa, a negro
province, and the Bible asks, can the
leopard change his spots or the Eth

THE OPEN QUESTION.

As / bend above the pillow.
Listening to the quicken'd breath,
Can l answer life's long question,
Is there any i'll in death?
Is life's fitful fever better
Than a dreamless, quiet rest?
Can the soul that grows in knowl-
edge
Count itself supremely blest?
Are they really lost who leave US
When youths innocence is spedf
Are they more saved who struggle
Till the heart has sorely bled
Have we saved them with our loving,
Long and faithful vigil lent
But to lose them in the maelstrom
OF manhood crude, untent?
o, this winning and this losing,
In the doubtful game of life
Make the chances very even
'Twixt the joying and the strife.
As l look across the vista
OF three-score years attain
Is there something in the pleasure
That will counterpoise the pain!
| can only answer this-wise:
That capacity for pain,
In the sentiert human being,
Makes refinement of the grain.
That the good we get in living
Is not that of flesh, and blood;
But of soul, which grows to greatness
Through recurring ill and good.
So 1 bend above the pillow.
Listening to the 'bated breath,
And ! answer not the question:
Is there any i'll in death?

The Death Dice.

There is shown in the Hohenzol-
lern museum, a gift of the emperor
of Germany, the death dice" with
which one of his ancestors decided
difficult case in the seventeenth cen
tury. Their history is an interesting
one.
A young girl had been murdered.
Suspicion fell upon two soldiers,
Ralph and Alfred, who we're suitors
for her hand. Both of the accused
men denied their guilt, and even tor
ture failed to extract a confession
from either of them. Then Elector
Frederick William decided to cut the
knot by means of the dice box. The
two soldiers should throw for their
lives, and the loser should be exc
cuted as the murderer. The event
was celebrated with great pomp and
solemnity.
Ralph had his chance first and
threw SKIES, the h1ghest possible
number. The dice box was then
given to Alfred. He fell on his knees
and prayed aloud: Almighty God,
Thou knowest I am innocent. Pro-
tect me, I beseech Thee!"
Then he arose from his feet and
threw the dice with such force that
one of them was broken. The whole
one showed six, the broken one also
gave six on the larger portion, and
the fragment split off showed one.
This was fragment of 13, one be-
yond Ralph's throw. The audience
held it's breath in amazement.
"God has spoken!" cried the prince.
Ralph, appalled, by what he regard
ed as sign from heaven, confessed
his guilt and was sentenced to death.
