this day, don't YOU think? Yet there were
more than nineteen hundred DAYS before
this one dawned when He was doing for
others what He has done for me. Had it
not been SO, the human race would have
drifted back toward barbarisIn, don't you
think? But in the Christmas season of
every year He has caused His Spirit to
reign in palace and hovel, in streets and
alleys, and maintains Christianity on earth,
by doing in His own way all that His disci-
pies fail to do-all, that is except to Freddy.
He may find a special miracle necessary in
that case; for Freddy believes in nothing
but dollars. His ancestors came over in
the Mayf1ower, he says. If they were pro-

CIVIL SERVICE IN ANAM

A NOVEL method of identifying the
\ work of candidates is employed in
civil service examinations in Anam. The
examination itself somewhat resembles SIM
liar examinations in China. Each student
sqt1ats in his little hut while he works at the
tests provided to show his literary taste and
intelligence. The subject during the last
examinations was the teachings of COntu-
cius, and the candidates prepared moral es-
says or commentaries.
The examination lasts fifty hours. At the
end of the days work, each candidate,
when preparing his papers for handing in,
tears and retains a little piece from the first
sheet. When the best compositions have
been selected, the candidates having the
pieces that fit the torn places are declared
winners in the competition. This seems to
be an absolutely fair as we'll as novel way of
deciding, and must have been very salts
factory to the three hundred odd candi-
dates who lately, out of thirteen thousand,
were successful enough to be chosen for
further instruction for the civil service.
