Native Helpers i'm Korea.

In former days in Korea, while
she was yet the Hermit nation, and
before the coming OF the telegraph,
there was system Of signal lights
used for the purpose Of sending any
important messages to or from the
capital. These old signal fire affairs
are yet to be seen on the tops Of the
high mountain peaks in many parts
of the country. Their fires are gone
out, never TO be kindled again, but
instead of them the swift winged
electric spark is now employed to
flash the message from place to place
throughout the land, and even from
the Hermit nation to the ends of the
earth. On many Of these mountain
tops there are now new affairs erect
ed--altars not visible to mortal eyes
but nevertheless altars whose fires
burn brighter and whose rays shine
further than those from the signal
altars of old. These are the altars
of prayer which have been erected in
many instances by faithful Korean
helpers as they have reached these
mountain peaks on their journey in
search for the lost sheep for whom
the Good Shepherd gave his life.
"On one cold day, in company with
two or three Of these helpers, ! was
making a visit to some Of our work
when we came to high mountain
pass over which we had to make our
way as best we could, the difficulty
being greatly multiplied by the ice

NEGRO SHOOTS MERCHANT.
l. DOnen is Wouned at His Store.
Condition Is Serious.

Beaufort, Jan. About dusk yes
terday evening word was brought
into town that l. Donen, store
keeper at Tomotley, about Is miles
above Beaufort, had been shot. Mr..
Donen was seriously wounded. Medi-
cal attention was rendered, while a
search was made for the negro,
did not prove successful.
1t seems that the negro came into
the store as If to buy something and
was talking to Mr.. Donen when,
without any warning or apparent
motive, he suddenly whipped out his
pistol and fired at Mr.. Donen, who
fell to the floor unconscious. While
his victim was in this condition the
negro rified the store of small arti-
cles of little value. Nothing is
known of the man. He is thought to
be the same negro who several weeks
ago shot man at Virgins.
Mr.. Donen, who is in a serious con-
dition. was brought here and is un-
der the care of a physician.

A Challenge to Occupy Thibet.

A woman of the Christian denomi-
nation, who is especially interested
in the evangelization of Thibet, has
issued stirring challenge to the
people Of her church in these words,
which appear in the Missionary Intel
ligencer:
81 do hereby covenant with my
Heavenly Father, and with the mis-
sion of the Foreign Christian Mis-
sionary Society in Thibet, to build
churches and chapels to the number
of thirty as stations and out-stations
are opened in Thibet--in order that
the last man in all Thibet may be
within reach Of the gospel"
The denominations must provide
the missionaries and build them
homes. If this is done, six main sta
tions and twenty-four out-stations
will have churches and chapels, and
Thibet may be evangelical in this
generation.

The Sabbath in China.

Under the new educational system
in China the government schools give
holiday on Sunday. This makes it
possible for thousands of children to
attend Sunday schools, which was
not possible under the old regime.
Freedom of thought and action,
though family understood by the
masses, is generally becoming a
principle of the new republic. 1t is
generally taking hold of the old and
the young. AS a result many who
would not dare to enter a Sunday
school now come gladly.
Until recently most of the Chris
tian constituency have come from the
illiterate adult population, and the
majority have been unable to read.
Much has been done in the past to
meet the needs of this class: First,
by oral teaching; and second, by
teaching them to read the Colloquial
Bible and hymn book, or some sim
pie catechism. This kind of work
will be needed for long time to
come.

CncvaIgeliZed Japan.

Both Africa and India are better
evangelical than Japan, according to
Miss w. l.. Park.
THE figures as furnished by an
English mission stand thus: In Af-
RIGA one in every $40, in India one
in every $50, and in Japan one in
every 600 are protesting Christians.
Recent figures show that there is a
district in South Japan Of three mil
lion people without any work, while
there are hundreds of towns with
populations ranging from five to ten
thousand totally unreached, where
the gospel is utterly unknown.
while figures are invaluable as
an index to conditions, they are nee
essarily limited in their scope even
of presenting the truth. The urgent
need of immediate reinforcement in
Japan cannot be expressed numeri-
cally. The need of speedy evangeli-
zation of this country has a moral
weight not to be computed in
figures"

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. T.
President Wilson demonstrated his
fondness for children to-day by as
suming the role of a belated Santa

Christmas candy to the youngsters
along the route from the Gulfport
golf links. Since coming here the
President has made warm friends
with the children, who daily have
run to their front gates to wave
greetings to the nations Chief Exec
utive.
To-day there were many express
sions OF delighted surprise at homes
along the way when the big White
House automobile stopped and a Sc
cret service man appeared at the door
with box of candy under his arm,
a present from the President to his
little friends. Frequently the chill
dren, in their ecstacy, forgot to say
anything until reminded by their
mothers to Say thank you to the
man."
The President was delighted with
his role of Santa Claus" When
news Of Mr.. Wilson's generosity
spread among the children, it became
known that many of the youngsters
who do not live along the route 10
the golf course were disappointed.
They were promised, however, that
they would not be overlooked, and
that the supply of candy at the Presi-
dental cottage was sufficient to meet
all demands.

Eats Freely, But
Has No Dyspepsia
A LITTLE PIGPSIN IN A MILD LAX-
ATIVE PROMPTLY CORRECTED
A BAD INDIGESTION.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate, care should be taken in
the matter of diet. Eating slowly,
masticating the food thoroughly and
taking a short walk after the heavy
meal of the day will do much to-
wards assisting digestion. Any
grown-up person ought to know the
peculiar foods that do not agree, and
these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids
fail, the next thing to do is to take
a mild digestive tonic with laxative
properties, and there is none better
than DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t
contains the greatest OF all aids to
digestion, good pepSin. 1t has other
ingredients that act mildly on the
bowels, which together form a COM
bination for the relief of dyspepsia
or indigestion that is unsurpassed.
It's action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so
that they can again do their work
naturally without outside aid, and
when that happy moment comes all
medicine can be dispensed with. 1t
is the best remedy Obtainable for any
disorder of the stomach, liver and
bowels, for dyspepsia, constipation,

According to some thoughtful
churchmen the opening Of the Pana-
ma Canal is not only the greatest en-
gineering enterprise ever undertaken
by men, but it is Of immense mis-
sionary significance, and is bringing
before the church a new missionary
issue.
The spirit Of Missions" says:
The joining Of the oceans will
bring the great Southwest much
nearer to Oriental markets. There
will be new outlets, and doubtless
new demands for its corn, cotton and
wheat. One result is almost certain
to be an increased population, and an
increased population. always means
new duties and possibilities for the
church.
This is pre-eminently day for
constructive churchmanship. In the
attempt to build worthily for God
and the nation in those parts of the
country directly affected by the Pan
anna Canal, churchmen from East
and West, from North and South may
well join forces"
