Anelents Fond Of Perfumes.

The ancients used to burn perfume
before the affairs Of their gods. be-
lieving that the sweet scents were
pleasurable to them. Nowhere was
perfume more lavishly used than by
the ancient Egyptians. In the temple
Of Isis, sweet incense was always kept
burning before the altar by the
priests. and on extraordinary occa-
sions the king himself performed this
ceremony. The great god Ra always
had three kinds Of incense burned be-
fore him. Horus Ambeis. the dog
headed Thoth; Meth. goddess Of wis
dom; the cat-headed Pshat, and the
sacred Ibis. all we're the recipients Of
scented offerings.

Better Babies Contest.

Since the Better Babies" con-
tests are becoming so popular in this
country, the following item from our
own Missionary Miss Tinsley, will be
of interest, and show that Korea is
keeping up with the times:
"In September several classes for
the women of Songdo were held in
South Ward church. The women were
taught in four groups. The first was
composed Of those unable to read;
then there were the first, second and
third-year classes. In all there were
sixty-five enrolled, all of whom will be
engaged in some form of Christian
work during the year.
"a special feature of the class was a
baby show, which was held on the
last day. There is certainly great
need for a, better baby campaign in
Korea. Every day for ten days a doc
tor or a nurse gave a lesson on the
care of children. On the last day we
grouped the babies together in differ
ent sections and displayed large, at
tractive charts, giving information
about sanitation and clothing required
for healthy baby. In each group Sc
lections were made of first, second and
third best babies, and teachers ex-
planned the charts and the points on
which the awards were made We did
not give prizes, but only red, blue and
yellow ribbons. You will think that
blue should mark the first. That is
because you live in the Occident. Ev-
cry Oriental would think that the best
babies should, by all means, be tagged
with red, for red is the royal color in
the East. The points considered in
judging the babies we're physical de-
velopment,, freedom from disease,
cleanliness and proper clothing.
1--WE hope to continue this campaign
every year until we really do have bet
ter babies in Korea. The Korean
mother loves her child, but is ignorant
about what to do for it, and the NOR
tality among babies is alarmiagly high.
In your campaigns for better living
conditions in America, remember us.
We are working for these same things

SMILE AND THE WORLD
SMILES WITH YOU

"The smile lives longest in both
man and memory"
There is actually no easier way of
making friends with your luck than
smiling at it. There is simpler method
of winning liking than facing folks
with smile. And there is no more
certain path to cheerful outlook on
life than a cheerful smile whatever
betide. Besides all of which, a smil-
ing attitude of mind goes with a smil-
ing face and wins success in that it
helps you keep hopeful enough to
fight your way over obstacles and to
victory.
And how many people do you know
who go through life with smile?
Funny, isn't it, that when there is q
highway to happiness, to lovableness
and to ultimate good fortune stretched
ahead of them, folks just calmly do not
trouble to take it?
Hold that little smile on your face
for five minutes morning and evening
Do it for month. When you feel blue
,oroo+ +bo ovoroieo oOov out +ba
smile. At the end TO the month you
will feel it creeping out when you
have not summoned it. And it will
make you glow bit to find yourself
smiling at your work and as you go
about the business of life.
When things go wrong you will find
you are able to smile. Pretty soon
your mental habit will grow to match
the physical one of smiling, You will
find yourself thinking, ooh, WELL things
can't be so dead wrong after ALL"
The cheerful individual wins a wei

is pleasant in itself and leads to all
sorts Of agreeable opportunities. When
people have a delightful invitation to

soul the benefit of it, rather than to
waste it on sour and taciturn indi-
vidual who will hardly be grateful for
it.

At one of the Mortified conferences

airy to Africa told a story that stirred
the heart of every listener. He began
his work with companions as eager as
himself. One by one they succumbed
to the terrible climate. Three he bu

coast and sent home. Then he turned
back, to stand utterly alone in the
midst of hundreds of thousands Of
men who had never heard the name of
God. Again and again he tramped the
blistered plains with his tongue so
swollen that he could not speak. Thir-
ty times he was stricken by fever, with
no one to care for him. Lions attack
ed him, natives ambushed him; he
had lived upon everything from ants
to rhinoceroses. And here was his
