after delivering a heavy trunk on
an upper floor he felt pain in
the right groin. The suffering
increased and it was not long be-
fore the young man noticed the
swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen
that he was ruptured and that he
must either wear. "a truss through

that hernia operations, with an

they may end fatally. Moreover,

declined to take the risks OF an

1t was pointed out to the young
man that unless the rupture were
perfectly held all the time or the
surgeons knife successfully
used, he might expect an increase
or doubling in the rupture withs
further complications, or the
dreaded strangulated hernia
which kills so many ruptured
people.

Story Is Told of Christian Work
Now Being Done In Northern China

In the city the Bible-women trudge
faithfully from home TO home, teach
ing the women of the family and such
neighbors as may be asked in. Some
they teach 10 read; others, too duh
to master characters, they talk with
or teach little verses written on color
than the words to recall It. Here they
advise in the care of children; there
they help to settle family quarrel.
They go only where they are well
coined, never trying to force an en-
| trance, and hardly week passes
without the opening of some new
door. The year past tHree or four
women have visited 800 different
homes, making $500 calls or more.
East OF the city lives a man who
has been church member for some
years. About five years ago a call
was made on his wife, but little came
of it. A daughter was entered in
school but soon withdrawn and the
place lost track Of The past month
or so Chinese preacher has been
leading meetings for men there Sun
day afternoons, and very recently the
man asked to have the Bible-woman
ccrne and meet the women. Two went.
They found the house hung with flags
and huge red banner at the door
announcing a Prayer Society" To
their surprise they found 32 women
gathered. They spent four hours be-
fore the formal meeting, talking with
these women and going with them to
homes near by. They were heard with
interest and attention and received
many invitations to come again, found
many doors open ready to receive
them. With nucleus of four or five
church members and many wanting
to learn Of the new Way, they want
to start branch church and hold
regular meetings. as 1t is too far to
walk to the city church.
This summer. for the first time the
women went to preach at two fairs
held in temples near the city. At
both they found ready listeners and &
friendly spirit among the women, and
especially at the Temple of the Nine
Sacred Ones. Here the priest him
self acted as host. helping them find
good site for the mat shed, bringing
more seats, and taking a general
kindly interest. And the women who
come to listen came to learn. They
We're not like the floating, curious
crowds one usually has at country
fairs, who go first to the theater and
then to the vendors stalls, burn in
cense before the idols, and, while they
wait for the theater to start again,
stray into the chapel or the tent. (But
even in the country there are notable
exceptions, as the old lady who had
"a favorite hymn, and helped preach;

friends. .....- = .:
Then men loved the Christ because
his giant strength was tempered with
gentleness. What courage in Jesus
when the mob went up against Him.
What fortitude when He stood with
bound hands before Pontius Plate.
What iron endurance in the moment
when tortured on the cross He met
blows with pity and torture with for
gfveness His friendship and gener-
osity toward the common people was
after the pattern of earth's most glori-
Gus friendship Jesus courage had the
delicacy of silk and the tenacity of
the blade of Damascus, and yet his
strength was tempered with gentle
ness. What tenderness to little chill
dren. What brooding tenderness to-
ward the blind man expelled from the
temple. What chivalry when he lifted
the shield above the shining woman.
In the third century 10000 gladi-
ators were slain within three months.

the arena, ran swiftly toward the en-

outraged emperor gave signal, the
guards thrust the monk through with
swords and kicked his body like car
rion from the arena. but the next day
the gates of the coliseum were closed
and never again was there gladia-

that TeIemachus borrowed his cour-

whom was compacted all that was

conservative, thus making him the
ideal leader for all temperaments, all

therefore all men loved Him and fol-

fVENESS

=
And the common people heard Him
gladly" 49,.
To the east of Jordan and to the
south is a valley in which a buried
city has been discovered. Slowly the
trade winds blew the sands into the
village and expelled the villagers.
Now the spade has uncovered the
buried temples and has exposed the
marble structures, as perfect as the
lily's chaIiee cup The statue is still
In the niche. The freseoes Of blue
and crimson and gold are still fresh
and untarnished. For two thousand
years the caravans with their camels
and men made their way across the
desert without suspecting the treas
ures buried just beneath their feet.
Not otherwise the philosophers and
generals trampled down the common
people Suddenly Jesus entered the
scene and, like a magician waved the
wonder-working wand and called the
people away from their self-contempt,
into self,respect and self-reverence and
the dignity of the sons of God.
The people loved the Christ be-
cause He was the genial, companion
able, brotherly Christ. Society holds
two types of manhood, the aristo-
cratic type and the democratic type.
The motto of the one Is exclusiveness,
that of the other eomprehensiveness.
II stirs the note of wonder TO find that
Jesus was of the democratic type. He
took into his social circle the poor
and the needy as we'll as the rich and
the favored. Jesus was most COM
panionabIe. He made his way into
the market place. He loved the open
park where the children played. He
walked through the yellow cornfields.
