In Korea the people of the we'll to do

shows that sins may be forgiven by
the liberal supply of money. The fami-

OF straw. Into this straw is placed all
the spare change that the family can
afford. Then on a certain holiday that

people thrown into the crowd. The
money therein is given to the poor and

Attendance Excellent.
The attendance at the different meet
ings of the World Wide Missionary
movement yesterday was excellent and
there were many new faces among the
church where the greater number of
the meetings are being held. Last
evening there was a grand chorus
which furnished splendid music before
and during the session. DR.. C. C. Cree
gan, president, of Fargo college, had
charge of the meeting, and as he had
been in almost all of the countries
mentioned it was most interesting as
he introduced the different speakers.
DR.. Fife was one of the speakers of the
evening and he had for his subject,
Philanthropy In Missions. He told of
the work being done in India, told
how much good money was doing and
told how a comparatively small sum
Of American money went a great ways
in the foreign countries in christian
work,
Rev. H. w. Reherd Of Waterloo, Ia,
was the second speaker of the evening
and he talked along the the lines Of
the medical man on missionary work.
He said that the poorer class of people
in. the Orient paid more attention to
the medical man in many cases than
they did to the actual religious mis-
sionary and he took the position that
Jesus Christ was a medical missionary
as he healed not only the sin sick soul
but people of physical Ills. DR.. Re
herd Is a most entertaining speaker
and his incidents of life in the v~arions
countries that he has visited were very
entertaining and instructive.
