It seems that there is at least one
white man in the world who is of the
opinion that the day is not far distant
when the boosted superiority Of the
white man will only be remem-
brance. DR.. A. Luce, who for 16 years
has been a resident of China and is
now president of the Presbyteria Col
lege at Shan Tung, China, addressed
the students at Manchester College
this week and among other things
said:
In 100 years or less, because of
the wealth of raw material, because
OF the wealth of manual labor, be-
cause of the fiber of the people, China
will be the dominant nation of the
world intellectually, politically and
economically"
It is a good thing that the Doctor
was in Minnesota when he made this
statement; had he been south of Mas

HAPPY. NEW YEAR TO ALL!


Before another issue of THE AP-
PEAL the year 1913 will have passed
into history. Though some folks re-
ally thought it would be hoodooed by
the figure Ii in it, it has proved to be
just about like it's predecessors; full
of joys and sorrows, ups and downs,
''good luck" and dad luck" etc, etc.
We who have passed through it are
still here, and, while all of us are one
year older, one year nearer to the
dark river" there are few, if any
who have not had more blessings than
curses showered upon us. So, we can
surely be thankful. Thankful, as
Napoleon said, that things have been
no worse. Let us buckle on our
armor and enter into the battle of
life in 1914, with a determination to
make it the best year of our lives.
We wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR.
