N MISSIONARIES REV. AND MRS. ].
ROBERT PORTE0Us ARE SAFE
tast Report From China Indicate
81 8 That Wiilnar Missionaries Are
Safe from Harm.

: -
That Wiilmar Missionaries Are
Safe from Harm.
sssSMr. and Mrs. Anders Forsberg have
received q letter from their daugh-
tSr, Mrs. Robert w. Porteous, from
the China Inland Mission at Yuan
chow, Ki-China, dated Aug. 26, 1913,
which shows that up to that time the
civil war in China had not affected
them except to make their work more
htnicuIt. Mr.. Porteous had given
assistance to number of
istl1e wounded soldiers. Bodies of
marching troops pass through their
home place and the necessity of fur
nlfshfng them food is q hardship to
the people. We take the liberty to
reproduce the following passages
from the letter: - ..-.
/ 1T is now several weeks since we
received any letters or papers from
home. No: doubt the internal strife
pf this country is the cause. We hear
that the South has lost battle and
that LII Tutuh and his soldiers are
expected to come through here to-
morrow on their way to Human, the
next province. There were two
wounded soldiers here today and Ro-
bert dressed their injuries. They
we're very thankful: Poor men! They
were wounded near: Kiukiang and had
dragged themselves all the way to
this place. For the past two weeks
soldiers have passed nearly every
day. It is hard for the people of the
city for they must furnish food to
them. Today they butchered some.
hogs for the soldiers. Our daily
prayer Is that this war will soon be
over. It is a great hardship on the
poorer classes OF the people as well
as the soldiers. The people here are
inclined to give in to the North, but
Ntutuh will not, but insists on con-
ttnuing the struggle. Both the North
and South have issued strict orders
that the missionaries must not be
harmed. We have faith that the
Lord will protect US. Do not worry
about our safety. Pray for these
poor people,. e.
~ have just now been assisting
Robert to dress the wounds Of a
number of soldiers. !. .....
! %#&'P. sS.-We have received the news
that the North has taken possession
Of the Capital City without any
battle; and we expect that peace will
soon follow

How He Timed His Talk.

A successful salesman for hard
ware line of goods had a novel way
last season of exciting at least mo-
nentary interest in his prospective
'ustor ers in the new territory he had
been given. On entering the office Of
MS prospect his first remark was:
"Mr. Smith, We are both business
nen with whom time is money.
1nly ask for three minutes of yours.
IS can only give you three minutes
of mine. Let's be sure we keep to
limit"
Thereupon he pulled from his
pocket quickly and placed on the desk
Of his hearer, well within his vision

tanning only SAND enough to require
