Robert Morrison.

He was the first Protestant mission
airy to China. His heroism was of such
exalted type as to enable him to say:
Il desire that God will station me in
that part of the mission field where the
difficulties are the greatest, and to all
human appearances the most insur-
mountable."
His desire was granted. He was sent
to what, at that time, was one of the
most difficult mission fields of the
world. He spent twenty-seven years in
China, during which time he compiled
a dictionary of the Chinese language.
established Il Christian coilege and
translated the Bible into Chinese. He
was a man full of courage and devotion
to the cause of missions, and he pre-
sents a splendid example OF missionary
heroism He laid the foundations for
the "open door" today to missionary
endeavor None will question that he
was one of Gods great heroes.

Under the influence of this sermon a
mission to the heather was resolved
upon and William Carey became its
first missionary. He sailed for India in
1903.
One of his memorable sayings was:

expectation of great things from God

DR.. Mary Pierson Eddy.

| among the missionary heroineS the
name of DR.. Eddy occupies high place
of honor She has for a number of
years been doing splendid and heroic
| service in Syria. She has shown great
courage and great ability in all her
| departments of labor in tuberculosis
work at Mammalian and Shebariych-
in the Ophthalmic Hospital and Dispen-
! sary at Junich, and in medical itinera-
! ton.
Any one who renders a real service is.
to the extent of the good downe, a hero
or a heroine.
The service DR.. Eddy has rendered in
her medical missionary work in Syria
is incalculable in it's benefcent re-
suits. Her name will ever appear
prominently on the immortal roll of
missionary heroines.
Miss Anna r. Taylor is another name
on the church's roll of heroines.
Heroism was displayed in her journey
amid untold perils to the hermit nation
of Tibet. that she might plant the seed
of the gospel of Gods blessed son. She
had in her little body the highest
heroism of the greatest soul-the hero
ism of faith-as shown by the words
written in her diary: Il am Gods little
woman and He will take care of me-
Are you in doubt about there being
wonderful heroines in the mission work
of the world?
Then read your church's literature in
such works as Eminent Missionary
Women" and Mission Stories from
Many Lands" and you will grasp some
idea of the great army of brave and
courageous women who are daily but
unconsciously proving themselves
heroines of imperishable renown.

Cost of Heroism.
If you want to know what real hero
ism means and of what it consists, read
the biographies of Henry Martyr and
Bishop French about their labors in
India; of Adoniram Judson and George
Dana Boardman concerning their work
in Burma; of William Milne in China,
of Bishop Patterson in the South Sea
islands, of John G.. Patton in the New
Hebrides, of James Chalmers in New
| Guinea, and you will know what it
means and what it costs to be mis-
sionary hero.
The whole story of their lives, as
well as of hundreds of others like them
is continuous record of heroic deeds
l have not space to mention one in a
hundred of the courageous and noble
men and women who have shown sub
lime heroism in the cause of missions.

FEDORA is TO TRY
SCHOOL EXPERIMENT

Fedora, S. D.--As the result of a
special election held here and
throughout Clinton township, 1t was
decided by an almost unanimous vote
that the town and township should
make an interesting and practical
experiment in school GENERALIZATION.
The proposition before the voters was
the consolidation of the various
schools of the town and township
into n school to be situated in
Fedora. Steps will at once be taken
to have erected here a new public
school building of sufficient capacity
to accommodate the pupils of the
town and township. The consolidate
school will have all the various
grades so the residents of the town
and township can educate their chill
dren without sending them away
from home. 1t is expected that the
the school consolidation plan will ex-
tend to all parts of Miner county
and ultimately to surrounding coun-
ties. During the stormy months of
winter provision will be made for
pupils from a distance to
the consolidated school.

GEORGE MEYERS, HURT BY
TRAIN SATURDAY NIGHT, is
ABLE TO TALK TODAY.

George Meyers, the stranger pick
ed up at the Milwaukee yards on
Saturday night, apparently in a dy-
ing condition, had recovered suffici-
emily at st. %Joseph's hospital this
morning to be able to speak. He
gave his name and asked for a glass
of lemonade.
Despite the TACT that a piece of
skull was Clipped off when Meyers
jumped from the train and hit his
head against an oil-cup on the front
truck, every indication today was
that he would recover. Although he
was able to speak only a few words,
his recovery now is believed to be
entirely within the realm of posi-
bility.
Yesterday Meyers gave the first
sign of returning consciousness. He
acted startled when the surgeon in
charge shouted his name. This NOR
ming in reply to questions he said
that his name was George Meyers"
and asked for a glass of lemonade.
Further than that, he was unable to
speak. His mind was not clear enough
to remember the details Of the acct
dent.
Although the man may be able to
make a physical recovery from the
accident, it is possible that he will
be found mentally deficient. The
fact that the injury to the skull was
on top, and not on the base or side,
is regarded as favorable. 1t may be
found necessary to protect the hole
in his skull by means of a silver
plate or watch crystal, in case the
cartilage does not grow over the
opening.
