MAORI GETS BRAVERY MEDAL
Australian Prisoner Rewarded for Say.
Ing the Life of Trooper Who Had
Arrested Him.

For the first time since its tnstitu-
ton says the London Daily Graphic,
the Albert medal has been awarded to
q Maori for gallantry In saving life,
and the circumstances connected with
this heroic act are so extraordinary
that they are worth giving In FULL
The recipient Of the medal is an
aboriginal native Of the Roper River,
Australia. named Neighbour, and the
story of his brave act Is given In the
London Gazette In the notice announc-
Ing that the king has conferred the
medal upon him.
On February i, 1911, Neighbour,
who had been placed under arrest, was
being conveyed to the Roper River
police station by q trooper OF the po-
lice force named Johns. The Wilton
river, which was found to be in full
flood, had to be crossed, and Johns,
who was on horseback, and was hold
ing In his hand the neck chain by
which Neighbour was secured, set the
prisoner to swim In front of him, while
he followed.
The horse got into difficulties IN
mid-stream, and before the trooper
could clear himself he was Kicked In
the face by the animal and carried of
by the current. Neighbour, instead OF
using the opportunity Of making his
escape. went to Johns assistance and
brought him ashore with great dffTi-
Guilty and at the risk of his own life.

Germ fsorns Cornl

You hear more about the word corn
and the zone hundred million bush
els for 1917" corn slogan than any
other agricultural product raised In
Louisiana
There is a reason for it. We must
raise corn In Louisiana and teach the
farmer to utilize every available acre
of ground for this product, the great
est food producer of all. Louisiana
certainly can feel blessed that we
We're not in the droutl-stricken dis
trict, and that we have at least
enough corn to feed our livestock
through the winter and spring.
Every farmer should send for a
catalog and premium list of the state
fair and see how the $500 offered
for corn is divided into many diff
ferent classifications and premiums.
There are premiums offered on
fourteen different varieties of corn,
and all you have to do is to select
ten ears of your best corn and make
entry for the prizes. It costs moth
ing except the paying of the express
charges, or the corn can be sent by
parcel post. Do not send the corn
In sack or box, but write to the
secretary and he will send You,
charges prepaid, a corn carton that
will hold ten ears.
In addition to competing for the
premiums offered by the state fair,
there is another reason for sending
the corn. Immediately following the
close of the fair, the corn exhibits,
as we'll as all other agricultural pro-
ducts displayed, will be sent out
on the demonstration train, without
any expense to the party sending in
the exhibit
Let Louisiana show that corn and
the best quality at that can be raised
On her soil. Send in ten ears and
help out the movement. If you have
not received catalog write today to

gunboats floating on Chinese waters
in time of revolution were merely to
show the majestic power of the United
States. These boats were too far away
| to protect any missionary whatever;
but, fortunately, there was not sin
gle missionary's life lost in the tur-
moil of two months revolution in
China.
In word, the preliminary mission
ary work in China was done, and the
transitional period of the religious
situation now comes. Never again
could China arouse herself from the
silence of centuries into republic
Never again could the growing spirit
for new truths be at as high a swing
as it is today. Never again could any
opportunity like the abolishing OF the
worship of Confucius happen in emma.
Never again could Buddhism, Iaolsm
and Mohammedanism be more disre-
garded in China than it is today.
The first half of the speakers edu-
cation was received in a Methodist
school in China, and the message ne
brings to you today is decidedly the
result of the work you have done.
Never let go an opportunity that IS
within your grasp. Never fail to dou-
BILE or treble the force on China for the
further progress of missionary work.
Remember that martyrdOm has en-
deared China to Christians. The sac
rifice of the boxer uprising was not
merely to test the Christian falth
among the missionary workers, but to
Law a stepping-stone for the coming
successful career. Remember, the
uashing waves and screaming sea-
gulls are mourning over the dead BODY
of st. Francis, who died of fever IN
small island in the south OF Canton
during his mission to China. STAND
by your foreign missionaries. Back
them up financially, prayerfully. Don I
fail to realize that successful battle
depends on the last nve minutes.
Chinese Christian converts now num-
her ND to two million five hundred
thousand. or about one in every TWO
hundred persons. A figure, low as 1t
may be, but it is good deal mgner as
compared with total percentage Oh
Christian converts in all OF the non
Christian countries.
In conclusion, hope heartily tnal
IN the very near future the light Oh
the Christian world shall reach every
humble peasant hut in China, ana tiDs
holy Bible should supplant every re-
ligious teaching in the world.
Thank you!

PROGRESS OF CHRISTIANITY IN
THE new CHINESE REPUBLIC

Following is the able address given
by SEE Fung Suen, or Sylvanus F.
Swan, in the First Methodist church
last Sunday:
Friends 1t is with great pleasure
that | have the honor to speak to you
this morning upon the subject, 1.-The
Progress of Christianity in China"
Introductory to my remarks, permit
me to relate little incident that oc-
Cured while l was in the city of
Schenectady, N Y, last summer. While
in Crescent park one afternoon | was
approached by man of low mental
type, whom judged to be half drunk.
After scrutinizing me for a few mo-
ments, he said, in his usual scornful
voice, Say, are you "a Chinaman? p
yes, sir" l answered. What is your
business-laundry or chop suey?" he
asked Without waiting for my an
swer he added, DO you smoke
opium?" mo, sir! I do not smoke
opium; neither is my business 1aun-
dry nor chop suey,'" was my reply
you are the first good Chinaman
ever met in my life," he said Come
on, let's have a drink"
Naturally, l declined the pleasure of
accepting his kind invitation, as | had
no appetite which was accustomed to
being satisfied with such things as are
to be found at a bar in city park.
So We babe each other good day.
This incident would indicate the
general Impressions which the major
ity of Americans have toward the
Chinese people. 1t is my desire III
connection with the subject today to
convey to you facts that will give you
a broader view of the Chinese people

She was evidently more than fifty and she showed every outward sign Of poverty and hard werk-unendfn9 hard work. But evidently this was special event and her eyes shone with excitement. She entered one Of the big drug stores and while her excitement visfbiy increased her as surance seemed to fade.

Pushing a nickel over the marble counter, she blurted in an awkward manner that she wanted soda. The proprietor of the drug store, who was watching her. is a. kindly man and he grasped the situation at once. With bound he was behind the counter before the boy could tell this excited reveIer that her soda would cost ten cents. Then he himself mixed a delicious strawberry ce cream soda and gave it to the little old woman, who sank contRntedly upon one of the stools at the counter and gave herself over to it. The proprietor smiled crookedly down at the nickel as he dropped 1t inte the cash drawer and rang up five cent sale.- Exchange.
