Is 1t Nothing To You?
A Message From Minnesota Rose.

Softly and tenderly Jesus is call
ing, calling for you and for me-"
Yes! my friend, we have heard
his call time and time again. And
how often has not that call been re-
jected, when our savior so pleading
ly calls? Oh, we must stop and con-
slider that once will be our last call.
God pleads with us once for the last
time. He alone knows who it may
be. Today we are here, tomorrow
we may be cold in death. Our time
is so short. And | ask you my friend
is it nothing to you?
Look yonder TO the garden of
Gethsemane where our Savior in
agony is praying for the redemption
of all humanity. In the hour of
trial where he pleads for all souls,
and again to the cross-The Glori-
Gus Cross where we may find sal
walton and grace; only through that
precious blood which flowed on Cal
vary Cross, can we kneel there and
be saved; feel his holy spirit as it
enters into our souls; the redee ming
power which cleanseth and purifes
our restless souls?
When you hear the call of God,
reject him not. Ask yourself. is it
nothing TO me?
/ will never forget in Fargo, n.
D., one evening last fall, as we were
listening to the Salvation Army
God bless their work-we saw man
walking back and forth in hearing
distance of the blessed word and
singing of the Army. All, we see the
power of God. His word has power
and strength, and again we see the
work of the devil as he tries to hold
his own. Three days after that eve,
the same man came back to the
Army Hall. Just at the hour the
captain was pleading for the last
souls who had come to the altar for
prayers, he opened the door walked
up t. the altar. stopped second
walked up the steps, crossed the
platform, and again as he came down
he stopped a second; then as he took
the next step to go out, his eyes
closed, his mind left him, his reason
vanished, and now he is closed up
with the inmates of an insane asy-'
lum.
Oh. my friends, it means some

Shoe Trade Notes.
Chuzzlewit.

The shoe trade of South China
ports. as measured by that in and
through Hongkong, is undergoing
change which is likely to be of bene-
fit to American manufacturers.
The use of foreign" shoes is great
ly on the increase. This demand
in recent years has been supplied
by imported footwear for the fine
trade and by Chinese handmade,
foreign-style shoes for ordinary
custom,
Manufacturers as yet have re-
ceived practically no returns from
the statesmen who are on the road
with fall line of samples, but antlci-
pations are running high. The fin
ishing up of spring runs and re-
orders that are coming in are keep
ing the factories running. There is
difference of opinion am ong man
ufacturers regarding the stock car
rying proposition. While some are
for increasing the coming season,
others are only retaining their oil
space. The latter believe that car
rying large stock is equal to gam
bling and that only those who have
large surplus can afford to take a
chance and tie up so much money.
There is an increasing demand
for leather in different colors so
that shoes will be purchased to
match the clothes. This does not
apply to women's shoes alone, for
men are now buying shoes in soft
gray, which tone in with their suits
much better than tans, browns and
wine colors which were the only
changes from black until very re-
Gently. Leather also may be given
any desired finish without lessenipg
the wearing qualities, thanks to
some very excellent American ma
chinery.
South America with it's many
millions of people is buying yearly
many million of dollars worth of
American boots and shoes, feathers,
tanning equipments, shoe machinery,
supplies and allied products. Con-
ditions favor a rapid growth of this
business = it's up to the American
manufacturers. Competition with
England, France and Germany is
not so much to be overcome as is
competition with our own lethargy.
Prosperity at home is periodic; ex
port trade can supply the necessary
balance and keep our wheels of in
dustry humming all the time. The
foreign market provides a sure and
substantial field for expansion and
presents no strong channels of re-
sistance when properly studied and
understood. The principal need at
the present time is a spirit of will
inguess on the part of our manufact-
urers to seek this trade, to study its
requirements and earnestly endeayor
to supply them.
