twice that number OF nint-locks and

Trenches were dug where possible.

This was made possible by the noun

The surprise was complete. and be-
came Q rout. More than 200 Turks
were killed, and considerable sup

giegers contented themselves with
surrounding the mountain
on the landward side. in an attempt
to starvc out the Christians.
The pastor directed the women to
make two huge white nags. one with

other with the words: Christians in

Japan was cynical toward the
Christian propaganda: Korea was
religiously more dead than all the

hopeless.
But now we find that China Is OF

There has been profound trans
