NEW YORK, May si,--The Rev. Or.

reason for the increase OF unhappy
marriages and consequent increase OF
divorces Speaking at the Sunday
meeting for men at the West SIDE
Y. NJ. c. A.. DR.. Cadman said that
these increases may be directly charged
to the delicatessen store habit,
e New York women are too prone to
dip their fingers into every pickle
Jar of the corner delicatessen store
instead of cooking wholesome meal
for their husbands" he said. There
liz nothing that sends the man into the
day better prepared for victory than
a good breakfast and a clean shave.
Good breakfasts. homelike break
fasts. the kind of breakfasts that do
a man good. do not come from the deli
catessen shop
MANY men do not develop because
OF the poor cooking Of their wives.
Too many. women are satisfied to stay
in bed In the morning and let their
husbands get-Mhat breakfAsts they
are able to. It is not much encourage
ment for man to cook his own break
fast while his wife stays abed for
another nap"

Appeal to Christian America.

appeal to Christian America:

suddenness n the ghastliness of it,
has almost p~aralyzed the thinking Of
n church in America. And while
the commercial world has been quick

trade. further development Of home
manufacturers, the creation Of an
American marine, etc, the church
does not seem yet to have recovered
itself sufficiently to project matters
OF much more vital concern to hu-
mainly and to concert plans for en-
phasizing in marked and effective
ways the fact hat not Christianity
but the defective teachings OF Chris
tendon are On trial.
The militarism and jingosim which
in high places have screened them
selves behind a pseudo-patriotism are
now seen in all b ugliness Of their
reality, and not as they appeared un.
der the veneer Of false p%retense.
Meanwhile the heather nations
must be greatly perplexed. and the
very honor Of our God and the name
OF our Christ are for the time beins
in danger of being assailed by non.

Rome in Times Of War.

DR.. b. NJ. Triple, president Meth
odist college of Rome, writes:
This terrible European wal has
been in progress but a few weeks,
and yet its destructive effects on all
classes of society are already seen
and felt. The last battle to the north
of us resulted in forty thousand dead
and sixty thousand wounded.
ITALY is not nominally in the strug-
gle, and yet she must necessarily bear
a part in it. One cannot be anywhere
in Europe and escape from it's eff
fectS. Moreover. Italy feels con-
strained to hold herself ready for any
eventuality at any moment. Thou
sands of her young men are under
arms. Some of our Methodist minis
tiers are already called. Numbers Of
our laymen are at the front. Bust
ness is largely paralyzed. Workmen
are idle. Banks are calling in their
loans. Money is not to be had.
People have begun to cry for
bread and some of these hungry ones
are our own M~ethodists. Vesuvius

not been claimed by the sea, but dis

Effect of War in China.

Missionary Frank Rawlinson, OF
Shanghai, China, writes: 1T occurred
to me that you will naturally want
to know how the war is affecting us
and our work. Like everybody else
we have been taken suddenly. So
far it is only affecting us in two ways,
first, prices nav gone up, and Sec
ond, the rate of exchange is 1uctuat-
Ing very much. So far it has not
affected Our work and affairs in
Shanghai are outwardly going as
usual. Of purse trade is bad and
furthermore a good many people are
being thrown out of employment.
There does not seem at present any
possibility of Shanghai getting out Of
the neutral zone. So far the Chinese
are quiet. There seems to be no panic
at all and we are hoping hat the sit
uation will continue as it is and in
deed there does not seem to be much
reason why it should not.

Pastor Lii. OF Fingtu.

Pastor Ii of Pingtu, China. is a
man of unusual character. Of his re-
cent work Missionary w. H. Sears, Of
Pingtu, China, writes:
Pastor Ii thrilled the whole asso-
citation as he 'rehearsed all that God
had done with him and how He
Opened the door of faith unto other
centers and provinces. On pastor Lis
last missionary trip he travelled over
2,700 English miles. He travelled L.
500 miles by rail-700 miles on
w~heelbarrows and donkeys, and the
remaining SOC English miles on foot.
He carried a small purse but no ex-
ira pair Of shoes and socks and one
day in the midst Of a heavy rain and
snowstorm he travelled twenty odd
English miles barefooted in order to
save his cloth shoes.
ION his trip he baptized $50 per
sons and helped in the organization
of home mission churches.
Surely these are New Testament
methods! Paul preached in a place
for a few months and then left be-
hind him a church., not indeed free
from the need of guidance, but capa-
bic of growth and expansion. The
places where Pastor Ii visited have
had the Gospel preached to them
more than a few months and may
we not expect them to AXE a stand
for Christ?
Pastor Ii is a mar Of great faith
and full of the holy spirit and is Il
anything remarkable that men anl
women should publicly profess Chris
when He is preached to them through
such a channel? Our Chinese pastor.
