Evangelistic campaigns in this and
other lands are being scrutinized as
never before from the point Of view OF
their effect upon christians, says the
Consregationalist. That II the test. for
example, being applied to the Chapman
Alexander Mission. which during the last
two months has been at work In leading
cities Of Australia. The able and fair
minded correspondent of the London
Christian World. Rev Frederic C. Spur,
who had opposed the return of the Chap
man workers so soon after their former
mission, confesses that these midsummer
meetings in Melbourne have been no less
successful than those held three years
ago. For DR.. Chapman he has nothing
but praise. He is" says Mr.. Spur. "a
thoroughly wise and sane evangelist
His earnestness Is apparent to all, but
there 10 nothing of the fanatic about
him. His great power lies not SO much
in exposition as in his faculty for get
ting home to the conscience of his hear
ers. He avoids controversial subjects
and goes for the common denominator.'
He is a gentleman. courteous and gentle
and considerate."
Concerning Mr. Alexander this cor
respondent Is manly enough to retract
an adverse judgment expressed three
ears ago ana declares now that fuller
compels the belief that Mr..
Alexander is single-minded and
thoroughly earnest man of whose genius
there can be no doubt. He persuades
men who have no voice that they can
really sing. and he obtains astonishing
results from his audiences"
This frfendliness toward the leading
members Of the Champan mission lends
all the more significance to Mr.. Spurs
assertion that despite huge audiences in
the city of Melbourne. the real man In
the street was scarcely touched. The
city, as city," he goes on to say. was

MEN NEEDED FOR TO-DAY

Some men do nothing for their
age because they mean their age
to do everything for them. But
others again are deliberately
useless because OF a settled and
cynical unbelief in the value OF
unselfish work. or of work for
the mending OF the world. Thus
from one cause or another men
are apt to overlook or underrate
the present task. They are
dreamers, idlers. pessimists. in
some cases pietists who despise
the worlds problems even while
they live by the worlds prob
em-making labor.
The man who glorifies past
heroisms at the expense of mod
ern fidelity would have traduced
past heroes had he lived in the
same town with them. The man
who cannot see opportunity at
his feet because of his upturned
face and dreamy forelock will
probably stumble into his grave
without realizing he has left his
cradle. The cynic who sneers at
attempts to mend the world is IN
a fair way to reach a world as
incapable as himself of being
. mended. The pietist who is in
tent upon his mansion in the
skies, but is Indifferent to the

dollars to a millionary society.

SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
tatlon That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is a clever fellow,
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of"a situation Of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia, but he had no passport He
said to his friend Mendel:
you have a passport; I'll get into
big bag and you shall carry me
across the border If the frontier
guard asks you tc put the bag down,
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in II and 1t will break"
Mendel was obllging. He shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in 1t and mp
preached the boundary The frontier
guard asked what was In the bag and
Mendel answered, Glass" Thereupon
the soldier drew his sword and ran II
through the bag. II might easily have
gone very hard with Steidentaft If he
had forgotten his role and cried out.
But he didn't. Instead he made a
noise like this: ''Kling, klang," And
so he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: when one is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass. -
