ships and our armies and navies, and
the few millions spent on missions.
A passenger coming down in the
Manchuria said to me, Look at the
well-trained, active and reliable Chi
nese crew on this steamer. What will
they not become as a nation when
reused with the passion of Jesus
Christi"
A man said to me at lunch the other
day, q am not much impressed with
missions" To whom l replied:
Our virility and strength of charac-
ter, our removal from barbarism and
development of ideals, have come
from Christ, and this message of the
cross meets the deepest needs of hui
mainly today.
Christ stands for the greatest val
ues in all missions. We pride our
selves on our literature ana civiliza-
ton. Christ is the incentive. Christ
is generic and fundamental and never
fails as the source of power. Jesus
Christ is the measure of the test Of
civilization today
Civilization and progress are not
synonymous. Civilization is weak I'M
less Christ inspires and is back of it..
What avails in all institutions? The
highest and best manhood and wom-
anhOod. Our highly civilized nations
will perish if their manhood and wom-
anhood are not pure and high and
holy.
Thank God for our civilization, but
remember that our civilization will 60
down as in an earthquake unless
Jesus Christ be the chief cornerstone
under it ALL
If barbarism is dealt with by mol
ern civilization and commercialism
alone, the result is septicism. Where
commercialism alone touches a nation
the result is not uplifting. What
every nation needs is the touch and
inspiration of Christianity, Christ
through the cross is the vitalizing en-
ergy for all mankind. Where Christ
touches, vitality and virility spring un,
schools thrive and the uplift is wide
spread. God gives us wisdom and
poise and makes us adequate for the
tasks before us each day.

RESALE Of OUR
LATE BOND ISSUE

The bond syndicate composed of
the banking firms of Gavin, Payne &
Co., Fletcher American National Bank,
A. o. Hassensall &, Co., all Of Indiana,
which purchased the bulk of the re-
cent Territorial bond issue, is now an
nouncing through advertisements that
the last 100000 of this issue is Of
fered to investors at 1O41a and ac-
crued interest, to yield about $40 per
cent income. The syndicate pur-
chased the bonds at 1O1.3Sh, taking
$1,325,OOO of the S1,5OO,OOO issued, at
that figure.
These figures would seem to indi-
cate that the brokers are making a
fat thing out of Hawaii's last As, for,
provided the whole block purchased
was parceled out at this advance Of
$31,15 per bond, it would mean a profit
of over $4,000, But, according to
Treasurer Conkling, this is far from
being the case. Mr. Conkling states
that the bulk of the bonds purchased
by this syndicate have been sold at a
very much lower rate of profit than
would be indicated from the advertise
ment of the last 100000 worth, and

There was a lack of womans in
spiration at last nights session of the
Layman's Missionary Movement con-
vention, owing to misapprehension
allowed to be formed that women
were not expected to attend Other
wise the assembly was up to anticipa-
tions in numbers and enthusiasm.
Chinese Pastors Discourse.
Rev. Tong Yin Tet was the first
speaker, interestingly relating exam
pies of his Chinese countrymen whose
loyalty to the Kingdom of Christ was
unimpeachable. He spoke on the
topic, THE Field is the World" the
statement of Jesus as he stood in the
midst of that small, oTt-of-the-way
province in Palestine with a little
company Of fishermen and peasants
about him. The country and the peo-
pie stood for sectarianism and mar
rowness," the speaker proceeded.
Remember, the time was centuries
GSOy NuGu Ill6 lutd Vi d ulllNGl sal lG-
ligion had never been dreamed Of
The profoundest philosopher, the most
radical reformer and the most far-see-
ing statesman had not conceived of
the desirability or the possibility of a
religion for the whole human race"
He went on to discourse on the later
command to the disciples to go into
all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature. Yet even today,
with all the wide thoughts prevailing,
1--WE are not as wide-minded as He
was. We are still content within the
limits of a provincial and parochial
Christianity. We still need to be
stirred up to the missionary move
ment."
Mr.. Yet said one of the disadvant-
ages of foreign missions was that they
were such a long way off, making 1t
difficult for those in Christian lands
to realize the obstacles the mission
aries encountered. These wrote let
tiers that were printed in full in the
missionary magazines, but the people
at home did not read the letters. 1t
was a case of out of sight out of mind.

URBAN MOVEMENT I'M KANSAS.

URBAN MOVEMENT IN KANSAS.
The Kansas Populist is moving TO
town. The census statistics covering
Increases and decreases in Kansas
bring us a number of surprises. Chief
among these is the fact that while
practically all Kansas towns Of any
importance show large gains, more
than thirty counties show decreases.
Some of these counties lie in well ia
vored regions of the State. Wabaunsee
county, for instance, shows a decrease
of nearly 100, which is really more
surprising than the decrease of 1882 in
Cherokee county. The heavy percent
age Of loss in Cherokee county is, in
fact, more easily to be accounted for
than the / per cent of loss in Lyon.
and much more understandable than
the 16 per cent loss of Usage county.
The truth must be, in Kansas as
elsewhere, that a decade and more of
prosperity on the farms has moved
many of the farmers into the towns
and cities for educational, social and
other advantages to be enjoyed by
their families. The Census Bureau in
cludes in its comparisons all towns of
| $500 inhabitants or over. Such towns
/ have gained in the decade, approx
mately Z per cent in the proportion
their total population holds toward
the total population of the State In
1900 this proportion was as 22.5 to
us. In 1910 it was as 1872 to 7O.S.
The State, outside of these towns,
shows an increase, but the large in
crease is in the towns and cities, the
gain there being more than 100000,
while the gain of the rural districts
was less than $4,000.
The growth of the towns in Jerry
Simpsons old district stretching out
for miles on every side of Medicine
Lodge, has been coincident with
smaller increases in all of the coun-
ties in which they are located and
which have not remained stationary.
There are no positive losses recorded
in that once dolorous and clamorous
region, but the growth of the towns
is out of proportion with that on the
farms. Many of the former Populists
must have moved into town and taken
to wearing hosiery, and could the la
mented Jerry again run for Congress
in that region he could not hope to
win the race by running barefooted.

CHRISTIANITY THE CORNERSTONE
OF CIVILIZATION, SAYS BISHOP BELL

The speaker went on to tell about
how gratefully some of his country
men received the message and how It
bore fruit in virtues characterizing
their after lives. Instances were
given of even opium smokers re-
claimed through the gospel.
The Chinese had been trained and
nurtured in systems of idolatry and
superstition of great antiquity. With
out the truth of the gospel and the
wonderful saving power of Jesus
Christ, these claims could never be
broken" In conclusion, Mr.. Yet made
an earnest appeal to that common
feeling of humanity which God has
planted in the breast of every man."
They could not all go and engage in
personal service in China, but they
could all do something to help for
ward the good work. Freely We have
received, freely give" he finally
quoted:
BlShop BeIFS Remarks.
Bishop w. NJ. Bell of the United
Brethren Church of Los Angeles, was
the next speaker. The following is n
summary of his remarks:
One thing about the Layman's Mis-
sionary Movement that appeals to me
most strongly is that it is both bust
nesslike and specific, 1t is setting out
to accomplish a definite task ami
making practical, businesslike plans,
One thing we haye learned from the
past is that there are so few work
ing in the foreign field in proportion
to the number to be reached that the
mission stations are isolated and little
impression is made on the people at
large.
How ludicrous it must seem to the
more educated of the Orientals to hear
us talk of the wonderful gospel in
which we believe, and our apparent
earnestness, and then to see us send
so few, comparatively, to carry to
them this gospel message.

dollars we and other Christian nations
are spending for Notifications, battle
