OUR CHINESE FELLOW REPUBLI-
CANS

A pleasing picture comes from Pc
kin of the first meeting of over 800
senators and representatives at the
opening of the first congress of the
republic of China Nearly all the
garments as one of the signs of the
modernization going on in the most
populOus of nations. The representa-
tives are men of fine appearance and
dignified manner, and come from
nearly every district. There was
music by bands and cheering crowds
outside, but no hysterical emotional
ism, which is foreign to the Chinese
character. Provisional President
Yuan Shi Kai sent in written mes
sage in which he hoped that the new
republic would live 10000 years.
There are some who fear that he may
try to reach for a form of absolute
authority, but the appearance of the
men taking part in this first con-
gress is that of resolute earnestness
and a sober comprehension of the
work in hand
The Chinese are a serious-minded
people. Their ancient ideas and
usages have been a working basis
for creating and holding together the
most inhabitants in any civilized
state. No business men are more
shrewd, cautious and dependable /
than those of China. No people are |
more Industrious and frugal The
payment of debts is a sensitive point |
with them, and all look to it at least |
once a year. One of the old ambi-
tions of China was to be let alone to |
live in an isolation of it's own hun
dreds of millions, with none other al
lowed to enter. They see that this is
impossible, and have also perceived
that the progress of other races in

DEN Mack.

The financial status of the govern
ment of Denmark Is fine one at the
present time. The estimates for the
budget OF 19l2-1913 closed with de
felt of s4,0o0.000, but the actual &C.
counts now show surplus OF about
$780, 900. In other words, the &C.
counts came out $3.50. 900 better than
expected last year. This result was
due largely to an unexpected increase
of $575,000 from the public utilities
and s1,750, 600 from the taxes.
Excavations In Gullager and Alslev
parishes, near Varde, have brought to
light a valuable collection Of antiq.
uarian objects. A score Of burial
mounds were opened. and many well
preserved human bodies from the
stone age. two from the bronze age,
and one from the iron age. were
found. There we're also a great num-

SAYS BOOK OF JOHN WORLDS BEST WORK

"The greatest book in the Bible,
and In the world. is the gospel OF
John" declared Sir William Mitchell
Ramsay, Great Britain's foremost au-
thority on sacred history, the other
night at the Moody church in Chicago.
THE gospel of John far surpasses
the gospel of Paul The latter only
finds the heights Of greatest spiritual
inspiration at odd intervals. He is
continually dropping from his high
level and suddenly soaring again.
BESIDES the writings Of Paul. the
only book OF the Bible At to be com.
pared with the gospel OF John In
point Of excellence is Johns own book
OF Revelation. This, however, has a
defect because of the animus against
the Roman empire which seems to
prevade 1t.
when It is considered that at the
time this was written John was under
sentence OF hard labor at the Island
of Patmos. sentence which was
equivalent to one of death, It can be

When he speaks the house stands
still. He gets more applause than
any ten men on either side combined.
He knows all the gestures and all
the positions. Just listen to the
speech he made when Carter Glass
gave him one minute-just one little
minute. Could you imagine any one
working up a peroration in one min
ute? 1t would take about eight weeks
for most people, and by that time the
audience would have been dead. But
