Or. T. NJ. Hare Accepts.

DR.. Thomas M. Hare, the man who d.
rected the successful fight for prohibition
in West Virginia, has accepted the posi-
ton of superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of Maryland, filling the vacancy
caused by the resignation of William H.
Anderson, who has become the superin-
tendent of the New York League.
1t was necessary to present the case
to DR.. Hare very strongly in order to in
duce him to leave his present comfortable
home and pleasant work in Ohio to come
to Maryland to engage in the fight to
make this State dry" The Rev. DR..
J. Fred Hesse, chairman of the head
quarters committee of the league, said
that from the time the resignation of
Mr.. Anderson became imminent DR..
Hare was the man whom the committee
had been most anxious to secure.

Evange|istic Services.
Great Crowds Hear Rev. DR..
BiederwOlf at WaynesbOrO, Pa.

During the past several weeks revival
services have been held at Waynesboro,
by Rev. DR.. Biederwolf, evangelist. A
tabernacle was erected in which to hold
the meetings, but it has not been large
on all occasions to accommodate the peo-
pie who attend the services. The Even
ing Herald of Monday last says:
NEARLY 500 stood through the service
Sunday night and the great building was
actually filled to the limit with men alone
on Sunday afternoon.
One hundred and forty-two persons
walked the sawdust path in the taberna-
Gle Sunday in their first or reclaimed
journeyings in the Kingdom of God, and
sixty-six signed up for God Saturday
night. A conservative estimate is that
g., 500 men were present Sunday after
noon.
"In the meantime the women packed
the Methodist Episcopal church edifice
from end to end-Sunday school rooms1
vestibules and all to listen to Mrs. Brake
in her address to women. Evidently Mrs.
Brake made her story plain and under
standable for the men can't get the wom-
en- to tell it either for publication or in
confidence"
The attendance at the meetings and the
number of conversions is shown in the
following table:
Saturday, January 10th, attendance
5000; conversions &C. Total attendance
for the week q 200; collection, 1858. SO.

Some paragraphs taken from sermons
delivered by DR.. Biederwof are,
Money is all right if it is honestly &C
quired-ge all you can, but don't can all
you get--use it that it may be a blessing.
"a fast life is invariably the macad-
amized road to hell.

A NOVEL EXHIBIT.

San Diego, CAL, Jan. 13.-Form-
er expositions have shown wild men
and women from the Antipodes. but
it has remained for the San Diego
Exposition to find whole nation OF
wild men within the borders OF the
United States, whole vast area
where nothing has progressed since
before the invasion of Mexico by Cor
tez in 1917. This area is in north
eastern Arizona, and the Santa Fe
Railway will cover ten acres OF ground
at the Exposition with as close copy
of this country as is possible to pro-
duce.
This locality is known as the Paint
ed Desert. Its land where no white
man has dared attempt agriculture
or mining, where there is nothing
but the Indian, his ancient civiliza-
ton unaltered, living in six story
houses of 100 rooms without an out
side door, doing the same things in
the same way his forefathers did for
centuries before white men came to
America.
Comparatively few white men have
penetrated this district. None has
remained there. At long intervals
scientist has penetrated the fast
nesses of the red and yellow hills.
Indians emerge from it occasionally
but they invariably return. Their
homes are the identical buildings
erected many centuries ago. Their
pottery is the same, used for the
same purpose and in the same rude
manner. Their customs and tribal
laws remain unchanged since when
no man knows to the contrary. They
irrigate small patches of grain just
as did their forrfathcrs. The coun-
try repels even the hardy prospector.
Trees, except those petrltird into
stone, are not seen. No two hills
are of the same color. The very rocks
are varicgatcd in hue. The pitiless
sun scorches all vegetation encouraged
by the winter and sprins rains.
Members of the Santa Fe explor-
ing party declare the Painted Desert
rivals the wonderful Grand Canyon
of the Colorado in grandeur and
beauty of scenery. A second party
has been sent into it to gather ma
terial for the great exhibit the rail-
way will install at the San Diego
Exposition, to contain everything
possible to bring from that region, n
territory that seems to have been
forgotten by Nature herself.

Little Facts Of Big Interest

The cost of administration OF the
missionary enterprise is great deal
less than that of any commercial or
industrial enterprise Of equal magni-
tude. The average is approximately
six and one-half per cent.
There are two thousand five hun
bred Japanese boys and girls in Cali
fornia, all but three hundred of them
being born there. There are five
thousand women, and more coming.
Japanese members OF the Method
list Episcopal church gave last year
one dollar per member to home mis-
sions. For all purposes, local and
correctional, they gave nearly fifteen
dollars per member.
In a single province in Southern
Korea it is estimated that there are
10000 lepers.
1t was not until 1907 that the first
protestant missionary arrived in
China. That missionary was Robert
Morrison, youth of twenty-five.
The East India Company would not
allow missionary on any OF Its
ships, SO Morrison met a Presbyter-
ian elder, who owned line of Amer
lean ships. The elders name was
David Washington Cincinnatus Oiy-
plant. He gave the young mission
airy passage.
A young Japanese who has recent
ly entered the ministry, gets salary
of $40 per month. Of this amount
he spends 81 for books.
The American Bible Society estab-
lished an agency in Brazil in 1876,
Slice WHICH IlIile IL Has CllClildVSu
$4,000 copies of the gospels, mostly
in Portuguese.
Mrs. YUM, one of the oldest Bible
women in China, died recently al
Soochow in her eighty-sixth year.
She worked actively up to within five
days of her death.
The number of people now engaged
in mission study is approximately
$4,000. During the past ten years
100000 missionary study books
have been circulated.
1t is said that out of every five who
lie on beds of pain in China, one is
wholly at the mercy of Chinese ignor.
ance and superstition.

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not like to
feel that your stomach troubles were
over, that you could eat any kind of food
you desired without injury? That may
seem SO unlikely to you that you do not
even hope for an ending of your trouble,
but permit US to assure you that it is not
altogether impossible. If others can be
cured permanently, and thousands have
been, why not you? John R. Barker, of
Battle Creek, Mich, is one of them. He
says, Il was troubled with heartburn,
indigestion, and liver complaint until |
used Chamberlain Tablets, then my
trouble was over" Sold by all dealers.

EARTHQUAKE AND TIDAL WAVE

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
in the islands of Kiushia, in south
ern Japan, on Monday, have result
ed in a large loss of life and damage
to property.
A tidal wave added its terrors, and
it is believed that the disaster will
prove to be one of the most serious in
the history of Japan. Ashes to the
depth of six inches have fallen in the
seaport of Miyazki. Indications are
that the death list will run into the
thousands.

manner: "You look as if you thought

The Penny answered modestly. 81 am
