- FEW years ago Rev. Frank A. KEEL
(ZI Ter, NJ. D., missionary of the China
~ inland mission since 1897. found his
heart thropbing with a great ambition
This ambition was inspired by the specta-
Gle of a trim launch steaming up the
Slang river and dropping anchor at
Changsha, the capital of Human Without
delay a party OF foreigners and Chinese
came ashore and began distributing in
every shop and house attractive little
boxes containing samples of cigarettes.
The swiftness, system and thoroughness
with which these workers performed their
tasks impressed this Thoughtful mission
airy, and he said to himself, why should
not the ambassadors of the King be
equally comprehensive in plan, wise in
method and prompt in action
Mr.. Keller tells the story for the Mis-
sionary Review of the World. He says:
I'VE told our friends at Los Angeles OF
the work Of the cigarette distributors and
of how it had stirred us. We also called
their attention to the remarkable oppor-
tunity offered by the great waterways OF
Human to reach nearly every part of the
province by boat. The heads Of the
Bible house in Los Angeles saw the
vision, they heard the cry of twenty-five
million people of Human, and they ac-
copied as a commission from God the task

an appalling Situation

THE following facts concerning the
W province of Kwangsi, China, as
given recently by missionary, are in
teresting:
THE area is 1900 square miles. Ac-
cording to a late official report. the pop
ulation is 100000. There are seventy
two walled cities in the province. Only
nine of these have been opened sta
tions with resident missionaries. OF the
remaining sixty-three cities, only six
have chapels in charge of native work
ers. Nor is this all There are 200
market towns and 5000 villages scatter
ed throughout the province. only few
of which have gospel chapels. Kwang-
81 was formerly known as the rebellious
province. The great TAPPING rebellion
of over fifty years ago had its rise in this
province. 1t was one of the most hostile
of all. and was the last to yield to the
residence of foreign missionaries. Now
the whole province is open to the gospel

~HE Christian Observer tells beau
W tiful story which illustrates the pos
sibilities of Christian work in Africa. Dr.
William Morrison tells of a community
in Africa where he found a chapel erect
ed by the natives. with a boy twelve
wears old as teacher and minister. This
boy had attended a Christian mission
school for a brief time, and on being
taken to his home by his parents began
to teach his little companions how to
read by writing In the sand. The men
of the village gathered around and stated
that they could not allow the boys to
learn something that they did not know;
so the boy became the teacher of the
men. Finally they said to him: You
be our teacher and leader. and we will
erect q chapel for you SO that you can
do the work as 1t is done by the Chris
tian missionaries" Thus this boy was
teaching the whole village the knowledge
of the gospel as he had learned it. There
are hundreds of other villages where the
people are just IS anxious to know the
truth.

New Hip FriIIs.

THE hip frill or the double tunic is the
latest idiosyncrasy which the fashion
powers have seen fit to thrust upon
helpless feminine world, and anything
that looks less like independence and the
vote can scarcely be imagined.
One of the best known of the fashion
designers was seen at the Paris races in
a white taffeta frock with the narrow
skirt draped toward the front and with
the double ruffle of the material punched
about the hips
These tunics are wired to accentuate
the quaintness of the silhouette Those
Of lace. edged with fur, are very popu-
lar and are sometimes worn over pannier
draperies. They seem too ridiculous for
outdoor wear to be acceptable to those
who do not wish to make spectacles OF
themselves but they will, adapted, sue
coed as indoor frocks for afternoon and
evening.

open persecution may assail the follower
after good.
Many of the early Christians suffered
loss of goods, imprisonment and death,
to them, though they were following that
which was good. There is no record that
any of the martyrs agreed with the
worlds view. In all the bodily agony
they passed through they suffered no
real harm-their souls in radiance emerg-
ed from the fiery furnace without the
smell of fire upon them. There was One
with them whose words filled their
hearts:
blessed are they which are prosecuted
for righteousness sake. Blessed are We
when men shall revile and prosecute you,
and say all manner of evil against you
falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be ex-
ceeding glad: for great is your reward
in heaven
1t is frequently said in these days that
the church is in great danger-that 1t is
losing it's hold on the people and no long
er sways control over the hearts and
consciences of men.
When we look only at the GOODNESS and
indifference Of large part of its mem
bership and at the engrossing pursuits
and pleasures of the world, we are
troubled and deeply concerned for the
welfare of Zion.
But there is different viewpoint from
which to look at the church s destiny. If
the people of the church of today are In
any way or to any extent relinquishlng
their privileges and opportunities, that
does not mean the church's failure. The
people may fall away, but the church
stands forever.
On one great occa sion III the world s
history God declared that IL the people
had failed in utterance Of praise the
stones of the street would have cried out.
Jehovah will never be without witnesses.
II we OF today are not diligent in follow
ing that which is good, others will be
raised up to accomplish Gods purpose for
the world
God has said to His church: mo weap-
on that is formed against thee shall
prosper
Nothing can prevail against the divine
decree that the glory of the Lord shall
cover the whole earth as the waters cover
the great deep"
Are you in Gods church?
Then you are safe.
Who is he that will harm you if you
follow that which is good?"
He who follows God wins. Where He
leads is victory-glorious and immortal
victory.
Let this be the song of your heart and
| the expression of your life:
Where He leads / will follow
Follow all the way.
Goodness has its reward here as well
as In the hereafter. Follow that which is
good and your days will be brighter anC
your life richer and fuller all the way.
Who has good deeds brought well to end,
For him the gloomy forests shine:
For the whole world is TO him q friend
And all the earth a diamond mine.
