Turkish Missions pescribsd.

Rev. c. H. Tracy of Smyrna. Turkey, spoke at the First Congregational church Sunday evening, holding the close attention of the large number present He told of the condition of things years ago, and of the external and internal evidences of the gospel now. In the former times, he said, the religion of Christ suffered because of slaokness and indifference, as it does now in America He gave a sketch of Christians in Smyrna as they were when the Turks came into the posses sion of the land At the time of this invasion there was no virile Christian ity.
 Years ago missionaries came from forty miles away and were guests while they preached; now there is a settled mission, and churches are crowded. their religion being live thing. Forty years ago it took ten days overland on horseback to visit the out-stations. Now all these places except one can be reached by train in a day The International College of Smyrna have over 300 boys, the col lege for girls about 300. Work in many places is going on without schools.
 Before there were churches services were held in homes, Overfowing into the yard, the people longing for the time to come when they could have a church. Where nothing was, now there are whole systems in working. You can't work in Turkey without know ing Armenian, Turkish, Greek, besides English.
 Pastors go about the shops and mar kets and ask at once how Ihe people are getting on with Bible study and of their faith. Four hundred copies of a Christian paper are taken, paid for and read every week. Prayer meet ings are well attended and helpful. The Greek pastor in Smyrna is a fine spec fInen of a theologian, and a fine man in every way, doing wonderful work in the church We have a good or ganization: all it needs to more men and more enthusiasm from this end of the line.
 There are A Mohammedan pupils in Smyrna college How much touched they are by Christianity as yet we do not know. When in our schools we are teaching their teachers there is something being done. The Mahogn- medan is now thinking how Christ could he the Saviour of the world, and does that shut out Mahomet2
 The great churches of Turkey are adopting the methods of the mission churches They try to do Christian work in their churches without chang ing their religion. That the work oi the frontier reaching into Russia has won d place for itself was illustrated bv many incidents of the enthusiasm of converts to the Christian religion

CONGRESSMAN FAVORS PARCEL POST
Not New Decision as He Has Previously Stated His Po- sition-Reply to Trade Papers Inquiry by Third Dis trict Representative.

FreviC US to the last election Con- gressman Edwin w. Higgins defined his position in regard to parcels post and stated that he was in favor of it. The congressman has not changed his views upon that matter but in common with other congressman he has received a letter from The Inter state Grocer, a trade journal Of St. Louis, asking for an expression from him as to how he will vote on such legislation.
 The letter of the trade paper fol- lows:
 Letter of Inquiry.
 St Louis, March 21, 1912.
 Dear Sir: The time is rapidly ap- preaching when congress will be called upon to vote on the general parcels post rider to the postofice appropria- tion bill. As you probably know, the retail merchants of the country are opposed to parcels post while the mail order catalogue houses are in favor of it. There is no need to take up your time with reasons why parcels post should or should not come into being. You have your own convictions in the matter. What we want is to have sn expression from you as to whether you will or will not vote for Tarcels post
 You probably know the sentiment of your district and will be guiled by it-you know how you will vote If you have the courage of your con- vlctions if you are strong enough to give your candid and definite opinions we want it. Please do not evade the issue. The retailers of the country want to know your sentiments and those members of the congress who do not answer one way or another will 3e considered as favOring parceis post.

 Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of March 21st which I assume you have sent to all of the members of the senate and house of represen- tatives. In order that you may in no wise be in doubt as to my position on parcels post legislation l will state that 1 have been and now and will continue to be an advocate of it and that I will vote and do all that l can for adequate legislation on this sub iect at this session of congress. This is no recent conversion. l have pub licly and privately stated my position and while your letter may be quite properly regarded as offensive in tone and suggestion I will ignore your pre- sumpuons and insinuations and place your mind at rest as to my position on this legislation which you can herald about as much as to you seems nee essary to serve your purposes.
 Very truly yours.

Into every heart and life Jesus desires to come for the close communion for which the Lords supper stands. Can we make our hearts ready by clearing cut impatience, weariness of the flesh, unkind thoughts, and by bringing in special love, purity, peace and the con- tentment of heaven, so that when He comes to talk with us He will find His own atmosphere, and so can give us the deepest and holiest truths which He ever speaks to a human heart.
