Twelve millions Of people, the num-
bsrs of Americans who contribute
money to world missions. are vitality
concerned over the ups and downs OF
money exchange rates and the eject
of the war upon the transmission OF
money at any rates at all.
Never since foreign missions were
supported from the United States and
Canada. a support that began in small
ways a hundred years ago. were condi-
lions in such shape as today. Every
Christian body, every Jewish society. is
affected. Givers of money everywhere
are interested.
The fluctuations Of the English pound
sterling, something new in missionary
finance, has a tremendous effect upon
missionary propaganda and upon the
relief funds that are going abroad.
Societies have paid as high as $50 in
times past.
Exchange down to $4.65 means a saw
ing to American and Canadian mission
airy remittances Of more than 100000
were that rate to continue for a year
and were fluctuations to be so much as
now. Money exchange is one of the
most troublesome problems with which
missionaries have to deal.
Together the United States and Can
ada outclass all the rest Of the world

in sending money abroad for Christian
and relief uses, and they experience
as much trouble as all the rest of the
world together over this money remit
lance problem.
Total gifts, exclusive of Jewish and
Catholic, run s18,000,000 year, but
fully 100000 of this sum, although
it goes to foreign missions, is really
expended here. OF the $12,000,O0O sent
abroad, about 100000 a year has to
be converted into English money.
Hence a change of As cents between
high and low rates makes tremendous
difference. Giyers of mission funds
not infrequently get sour on their own
missionary societies over money ex-
change expenses, and nobody would
more gladly welcome universal world
money to come with war settlements,
whenever those settlements are made,
than the American and Canadian mis-
sionary societies.
The American societies fastened at
once to the relief of desperate plights
of German missionaries when the war
broke out a year ago, and they have
now contributed not less than $3.50, 200
to keep them from starving. Now word
has Just been received that locusts
have gone over good part of Pales-
tine and have eaten up every green
thing. These 1ocusts have proven as
bad in these war times as ever they
did in Bible times, and their area Of
devastation has been the entire Syrian
coast, all around Beirut and Damas-
Gus and south to Sidon.

He arrived Monday in Baltimore from

signature upon it on his birthday.
There is no fear in his heart about
crossing the Atlantic at this time. He
said he will go direct to the little town
at the foot of the Pyrenees and there
will live quietly near the burial place
of his parents. He loves America. es-
pecially Maryland and Baltimore. but
he likes the atmosphere Of the old

Not by the processes Of logic. but by
ones own consciousness.
1t is the same with faith. 1t is an
inituitive sentiment of the soul. When
it is experienced it is like the senti-
nent of love and every other natural
state of the mind, too real and vital
to require explanation.
From childhood to hoary age, from
the cradle to the grave. mans every
day life Is a life of faith.
There is no good in trying by rea-
son and logic to define faith. If one
has not the inner consciousness of it,
all the mastery dispositions of the
worlds wisest theologians would not
reveal 1t.
Philosophic expositions Of faiths
nature is of little value for the reason
that they cloud rather than illumine the
subject.
The effective work of the Christian
teacher Is In directing men to the true
object Of faith
What is that object?
