A Young Man Who Is Ambitious to Con-
vert the Whole World to Chris
tlanlty

In the Interesting People" depart
ment of the July American Magazine
appears an article about John r. Mott,
a young American layman, who has
dreamed prodigions dream that the
world can be conquered by Christianity
in generation, if Christians will only
concentrate. Following is an extract
from the article:
He began his great work as travel
ing secretary for the International
Young Mems Christian association, his
department having charge of the univer-
stiles and colleges of America and Can
ada. In this direction he developed the
student volunteer movement. He is now
chairman of the movement, The STRAIT
egy Of the organization is soon appar-
ent; it aims to interest students in the
Christian conquest OF the world As a
result of its work no less than 4,7S4
men have been enlisted for service in
non Christian lands. In 1910, 36s stu
dent volunteers went forth to win the
crusade At the convention Of the move
ment held in Rochester, n. ". in Jan
uary, 1910, 3747 delegates were pres
ent, representing 735 universities and
colleges. The movement has now four
teen secretaries who spend their entire
time among the institutions of learning,
advising, inspiring, directing the enthu-
siasm of the students. What splendid
strategy The world conquest is not a
matter of casual and spontaneous zeal
felt by occasional people of sugar spirit
uality, but it is preached and cultivated
in the places where the flower of the
race is assembled As a rule, the per-
sonnet of the invading army is changing
1t is not unusual to find a university
sending the pick of its athletes and
scholars to China. India or Japan.
There are men who have a slight ac-
quaintance with the commercial com
munities of the treaty ports OF the East
who tell YOU in the smoking room OF
the steamers that Motifs visions are
vain, and that up to the present there
is nothing to show but complete failure.
But Mott has little use for an argu-
ment that admits of defeat. He is a
superlative optimist; he says the world
can be conquered in a generation if
Christians will put their brains and time
and money and prayers into the task.
And perhaps more than any other man
he is bringing it to pass

LADY SACKVILLE
WINS WILL SUIT
Sir John Scott's Relatives Unable to
Break Document Leaving Her
S5,ooo,ooo

London, July S.-The jury which FOL
eight days has been hearing the suit
to break the will made by the late
Sir John Murray Scott, BY which he
! left nearly $5,000,000 to Lady Sackville
daughter of the former British minister
at Washington, yesterday sustained tho
will. The jury found no undue influence
or fraud on the part of Lady Sack.
Vile
When Sir Samuel Thomas Evans, the
presiding judge, took his seat yester.
day, the court was again crowded with
representatives of aristocratie families
Lady Saekville, however, was not pres
ent. Sir Edward Carson at once began
to address the jury on behalf of Lord
and Lady Sackville.
Frederick 4. Smith, counsel for the
plaintiffs, said the jury had the choice
of two views of the case. "0ne is Lady
Sackyille's own view, expressed by her
self, that she would have liked Sir John
just as much if he had not a penny.
and the other view is that she followed
up this chance acquaintance in order to
exploit his wealth and to obtain as large
portion of it as possible for herself
and her family"
Sir John was, said Attorney Smith,
man easily Influenced He was physi-
cally weak and constitutionally inca
pable of asserting himself or of risking
scene or quarrel. Hence he gave way
to Lady Sackville because he was
alarmed and dominated by her temper
He continued:
I'm air your experience of life you
have never encountered a more assertive
and dominating personality than Lady
Sackville. In cross-examination she
showed an extraordinary and uncanny
cleverness in dealing with every phase
of this case"

Best Thing He Did.

There is a certain senator from the
West who rarely makes set speech
to the august body of which he is a
member. During the past session, how.
ever, a special occasion arose when he
deemed it necessary to deliver quite a
lengthy speech.
When he returned home that evening
his wife, who had been aware of the
senator's purpose to speak, asked:
How was the speech received, Rich

"Why," said her husband, "they con

GIRL SUICIDES IN FRANCE.

Paris, July S.-The body of the young
American woman, who committed
suicide at Villebon, near Meudon, mas
been identified as that of Agnes Firth
MacDuff of Massachusetts, avenue, Cam
bridge, Mass. That name and address
we're found on a bicycle license issued to
her by the authorities here Sept. r.,
1912.
The young woman took poison June
49, and fingered until July 4. 1t was
thought at first by the doctors she was
going to recover.
She steadfastly refused to disclose
the reason for her desperate act.
Some friends in Boston of the dead
woman telegraphed the desire that she
should be cremated here, but the French
law forhids the cremation of the bodies
of persons who have been murdered or
have committed suicide. The body will,
therefore, probably be buried in Paris.
