objection is not sound. The ministers will
bear me out in the assertion that money
contributed TO foreign missions is not
subtracted from money available for
home missions. The foreign missionary
work is, as a rule supported by those
who are interested in home missions. The
man who excuses himself from contribut
ing to foreign missions on the ground
that he wants 10 keep his money for
home missions generally finds some ex-
cuse for withholding his money even
from home missions. The enthusiasm
aroused by work in other lands so en-
larges the Christians sympathies that
the home missionary work is better sup
ported than it would he if foreign mis-
sionary stations were abandoned.

ond that I'VE ought to correct the evils

said Hussein Bey, while later. His voice
is markedly suggestive of a foreigner. He
has the eager. searching eyes and slight
inclination of the head that one seldom
sees in a placid American.
His clothes were quite what the modern
man of means affects. and his soft collar

tember in Washington.
do we hope to go back to Turkey
soon? Why, yes, certainly. to see my

sein Bey very tenderly displayed the pic
ture of a sweet-faced woman with beauty
of expression and feature.
''You wonder that Turkish ladies have
their photographs taken? Oh, yes, that
is possible. 1t is done by special arrange
ment with ones own private photog-
rapher" explained Nine. Hussein.
OF the religious festival that has just
come to an end in Turkey, Hussein Bey

Parkhurst once illustrated the difference

of ice could be broken into a thousand

Love he likened to a ray of sunshine fall

be no more ice. Love is the most potent

for which there is no shield, and Chris

because love is the principle which under
