 Makes Comparisons
 The contributions to foreign missions for the year just end ing" declared Mr. White, is thrice the total amount contri- buted to foreign missionary ob- jects during the same period al- though not giving the exact if gures, has been much larger than the.increase to foreign missions.
 Mr. White appealed for $50, : 000, ,000 year for foreign mis- sion5 rom North American churches, and seemed to prove it possible when he added that by the standardization of fnan- cl4l methods now going on this would mean only 10 cents a week from ten millions of church mem. bers, even if the balance of twenty-four millions of Protest ant church members in the Unit ed States and Canada give aoth- ing.

REV. JOHN WEBER
 INSTRUMENTAl.
Rev. John Webber Methodist Pastor at Washington Height Memphis h. strumental in Leading
 EX-Governor Pat
 terson to Christ.

It seems that when, Dr. Web- Der read in the papers of the Ex- Governors Humiliation and en- barrassment, on account of his arrest in Nashville under pee ullarly embarrassing circumstan- ces, he wrote esshim a kind note suggesting that the Lord lmight help him, as all else had failed, and begging his pardon for in- trudlng as a stranger upon him. Gov. Patterson immediately re- piled to the note thanking Dr. Webber for his unselfishSinterest and requesting him to call at his home in Memphis, which he did. pr. Webber is pastor of Washing ton Heights Methodist Episcopal Church South, in Memphis, while Governor Patterson $ people are Presbyterians, but that made no difference to the broken hearted penitent man, nor to Dr. Webber who was seeking to save his soul.
 Dr. Webber talked to and pray ed withsMr. Pattereon, and ad. vlsed him to confess his Lord and seek salvation in the Presbyterian fold, the church of .his mother, which he did. This is Governor Patterson's own story of the out come:
 l know suffering and sorrow, and have pitied it in others. 1 have felt my weakness and in- security ard need of help. I could not find it in coldsogic and reason. I looked for it in my mind and conscience and could not discover 1t. 1 then cast aside all pride of opinion, all thought of what the world would think or say, and bowed my head be- fore the throne of Almighty God and asked for strength and light. At last 1 found it there; my doubts are dispelled; the curtain of the night has parted, and the way IS clear. From now as long as life lasts 1 am the uncomprom- ising foe of the liquor traffic. It's ugly and venomous head should be struck wherever it is raised. y
 Governor Patter on has shown his appreciation of Dr. Webber's < kindness and fri .ndship by ask ing him to be his travelling con- panion and guest in his recent trips to Columbus Ohio, and Washington City in the interest of the Anti Saloon League work.
 We understood that Governor Patterson has accepted regular employment as national lecturer fer ths .AEti-Saloon League in preference to the offer of a ly- ceum bureau which would have paid him a great deal more mon- ey. Central Methodist Advocate

It diEGrs somewhat fr1,-l inc common hippo in the character of it's teeth. and instead of spending its time in the riv- CTS and lakes in large herds it wanders about through the jungles singly or in pairs, much after the manner of swins fin search of mast,
