The Orient and Christianity.

If asked what is the most signifi-
cant world-event of the last six
months, | would say it is the formal
request of the Chinese government
that the Christian people through
out that country and the earth unite
in prayer for the welfare of the new
republic.
China is not Christian; only a
small portion of her people are OF
that religion.
1t is the first time in history that
a non-christian nation has officially
acknowledged the faith of Christian
peoples by asking their prayers.
The various church boards in
America responded to the appeal, and
last Sunday petitions were offered
up in our churches for the success OF
the Chinese experiment in self-gov-
eminent.
The deep meaning of this appeal
from China lies in it's distinct rec
onition of the power of Christian
sentiment.
A similar act is that of a distin-
uished Japanese statesman who in
the beginning of the California af-
fair expressed the hope that Amer
leans would grant them treatment
in accordance with the principles of
Christianity.
Familiarity breeds contempt in
little minds. To many of us Chris
tianity is so usual, so ingrained into
our training and custom, that we for
get what it is. When the. Orient
wakes up and looks upon this west
ern scheme of life and faith it sees
in it the grand lines of it's imposing
structure, and not its petty details.
The Orient from the outside, sees
the thing called Christianity not as
we see it. 1t perceives lofty spir-
it of personal conduct, a high pro-
gram of life, an ideal plan of human
society. In the perspective of dis
lance the clash and narrowness OF
warning sects, the intolerance and
selfishness of imperfect human ma
ture fade into the huge outlines of
astounding altruism.
Most of all, the deep-piercing ORR
ent sees the essential democracy
of Christian principles, and how the
emphasis laid by Jesus upon the
worth and dignity of the individual
life is the real force behind success
full popular government.
One-half Of any religion is the
people who have it. Christianity
plus the Latin races means one
thing, plus the Teutonic and Anglo
Saxon another, plus Americans
another.
Both Romanism and Professionalism

Wan Alone Against Nature.


Since Joseph Knowles, leaving be-
hind him all clothes and every tool
and implement Of civilization, start
ed for the Maine woods a few days
ago to demonstrate the superiority
of man to the materials of civiliza-
ton, his friends have probably i'm
agined it a most dismal and hungry
experience. Perhaps, though, he is
quite as comfortable in his naked
condition, in the kindly summer for
est, as others in the perspiring Office,
says the Dubuque Times-J Journal.
AS a student of ill life, Mr..
Knowles will demonstrate his pro-
position, that man has not lost his
primitive powers, and can still be
independent of civilized convenien-
ces The Indians never lacked fire,
though without matches. The food
question will he easily settled. Prob
ably one of his first eXpedients will
be. the dead fall. To lure an an
imal into some confined space over
which a heavy rock is hanging, held
up by a stick resting on round
store, dislodged at the slightest
touch-tnis must be a bit OF prim-
tive lore going back to the dusk of
the stone age.
Mr.. Knowles two months alone
with the forces of the forest may
have no particular significance, eX-
cepJ suggesting how man is the slave
of clothes, Probably vanity had ORR
ginally much to do with the custom
of wearing garments. Tatooing sat
isfied the savage for a time. But
decorated garr ents permitted
change of style and led to the mmity
and onerous burden of modern fash
ion.
Clothes are not so necessary for
warmth as people think. While Mr..
Knowles is stirring his blood by ex-
ercise, the rest of us keep warm in
cool weather by putting on more
garments, or getting up to fire,
thus dulling the inner forces of vi
tally.
In this athletic age a good many
people are realizing this. Manufac-
lures say that men do not call for
as thick clothing as they did some
years ago.

Looking For The Flea.

The Sunday school is not exactly
the place one would look for humor,
but the following story, vouched for
by the teacher, has it's amusing side
Recently, in a Sunday school class
/ repeated the text: arise, and take
the young mother and flee into
Egypt" and then / showed the chill
dren a large picture that illustrated
the text in bright colors. The chill
dren studied this picture eagerly.
Then they all frowned and looked
rather disappointed. Finally a little
girl asked: Teacher, where is the
flea?"

Sleeping i'm Church.

Owing to his extreme youth and
timidity Tommy Jones escaped going
to church the whole year round eX-
cept on Christmas day. After one of
his annual visits his uncle asked him
at the dinner table if he had been a
good boys and said prayer in
church.
"Oh, yes, indeed" answered
Tommy. Il said a prayer like all
the rest did just before the sermon
began. Want to hear it,"
Yes, indeed What did you
say?" replied the surprised uncle.
Now / lay me down to sleep,
said Tommy.

TO MY DOG.

They call thee cur, and wrong thee
with the name!
An epithet thou never didst de-
serve!
A mean, low conjured word men
use to serve
Expression of contempt and guilty
shame
What they call cowardice in thee
blame
To careless ignorance and false re-
serve
Of thy real character; the bent
and curve
OF thy true nature men cannot de-
fame.
Thou are but beast; but God hath
made thee so;
And no strange motive did he thus
intend;
For thou vert made a beast that
men might know
Their higher tempers, and still
hold a friend!
If men could see their souls debased,
they'd choose
Thy safe condition with no soul to
lose!
