THEN AND NOW
Beginning of Foreign Missionary Worl
and Its Progress.

Beginning of Foreign Missionary Work
and Its Progress.
One hundred and eight years ago,
the first step was taken toward es-
tablshing the foreign missionary
movement. On this day five students
of Williams college gathered in a
grove near the college to hold an open
air meeting. The day was hot and
oppressive. In the midst Of the meet
ing lightning bolt flashed across the
sky, announcing the approach Of a
thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting
their belongings, the students sought
shelter beneath a neighboring hay
stack. Here they continued their dis
cussions while the storm ragged.
Shouting to make himself understood
above the thunder, the young leader,
Samuel j. Mills, proposed that they
organize Ito spread the gospel among
the heathen." That was the first
step. Two years later, Mills organ
lied the Society Of Brethren" re-
thereof to solemnly dedicate his life
as a missionary. Public opinion being
against missions, the organization was
kept secret and Its organization was
drawn up in cipher. Six years had
passed since the historic "Haystack
meeting" whose location Is now mark
ed with a monument, before the first
five missionaries four of whom were
accompanied by their wives, sailed
from Philadelphia for India upon the
first American evangelistie campaign
to foreign lands.
More than 5000 missionaries OF
both sexes from the United States
and $4,000 native converts acting as
missionera, are teaching the Chris
tian faith throughout the world. They
have converted 100000 men, women
and children in all lands, and are
bringing $4,000 more into the fold ev-
ely year. Over 100000 are learning
the ways Of Christianity in the $4,000
colleges. theological semtnaries train
ing and Sunday schools that have
been established by American mis-
sionaries. The modern missionary Is
not only a spiritual adviser but un-
dertakes to cure physical ills as well,
In the 600 hospitals and free dispen-
saries established in foreign lands. II
is estimated that 3,000,000.O0O treat
ments have been given by the 400
male and female doctors making up
the foreign missionary medical staff.
In times Of famine they distribute
huge sums of money The expenses
Of this vast campaign are enormous:
but no country Is as liberal as the
United States. Last year the Ameri-
IAN people contributed nearly $17,-
900. 900 to promote the work, while
all nations are spending about $685.
900, 900 to support their $4,000 Chris
tian and 10000 native missionaries
who have gathered over 5000, 600 ad-
herents in the faith.

A Cure for HeckIers.-R. r. Water
son, one Of the nine deportees from
South Africa, speaking at Liverpool
introduced to the English platform a
method Of silencing an interruptel
which was as novel as it was effective
1t consisted in his telling the interrupt
er a story about another interrupter,
There was once a meeting" he said
addressed by great speaker. and he
was constantly interrupted, as ! have
been; but he turned on the intertectoI
and gave him rough passage, AT the
end Of the meeting a young lady went
to the speaker and said I think you
were rather hard on him. Why said
the speaker, he waa embarrassing me
and deserved the dressing down I gave
him. Yes rejolned the lady but you
were very hard on him all the same
He Is an idiot"
Waterson, needless to say, had a
perfectly attentive audience for the

One of the best, fayorite Of General

He had been drunk so long," said
the general, that he was able to give
us very little information about him
self. Eventually, however, we discov-
etred that he was married, and that
his deserted wife lived in a town in the
Midlands. We Immediately telegraph

ply: You can keep him.

NEW FRENCH EXPLOSIVE
Turpenite Said to Produce Painles

Death.
Tales Of remarkable engines Of war
are appearing in all parts Of Europe,
but nothing yet has equalled reports
circulated concerning new French guns
which fire turpinite, a substance said
death for every living being within
reach. Turpinite can not be objected
to on the ground that 1t violates human
principles Of war. In fact, it is so hu-
name that it must not be confused with
lyddite and other explosives which
have deadly fumes.
English correspondents have report
ed that entire lines of German soldiers
stood dead in their trenches as a re-
suit Of turpinite fumes in engagements
along the Marne. The dead Germans
are reported to have maintained a
standing posture and retained their
usual was the effect Of the new wea-
pom. Instantaneous paralysis is said
to have been caused by turpinite. The
French turpinite gun is shrouded in as
great mystery as turpinite itself. EX-
perts are required, it is said, for the
use of the new ammunition and the
manipulation Of the strange gun 50
recently introduced into warfare.
Military experts now are specializing
whether turpinite will lend itself to use
in aeroplanes Lyddite, it Is said, can
be employed successfully by military
aeroplanes and Zeppelins.
London constantly is hearing stories
Of the terrible engines Of war Germany
will send over the British capital and
bombs containing horrible gases are
among the weapons it is predicted the
Germans may drop upon darkened Lon
don streets, but such stories cause
little uneasiness because Of the expert
ence of Paris with German bombs. A
few persons were killed there, but the
Parisians in way enjoyed the visits
of the German airships, which ordi-
narily sailed over the French capital
about o'clock in the afternoon. Great
crowds thronged into the streets to see
the aerial visitors.
