Salem Launches Idea
Of Community Church

Salem has launched the idea of the
community church. A large undenomi-
national meeting was led at Leslie
church, South Salem, Sunday night by
a. C. Bohrnstedt, assisted by the pas
tor, Horace N. Aldrieh, and district SUI
perintendent T. B. Ford, and second
meeting will be held Tuesday evening
at six thirty to form a men s brother
hood.
The purpose of this movement is to
break up the tendency to isolation and
develop a higher social atmosphere in
the community. Mr.. Bohrnstedt is a
practical business man and travels over
a great deal of territory and hears com
ments of people. to the effect that Sa-
lem is not cordial community to
strangers. He answered some of the
criticisms:
"Salem is lonesome place to live
81 just couldn t live IN Salem. ,"
81 wanted friends and II would take
years before one could have close
friends there. -
These are sentiments he found ex.
pressed by people who had tried tc
make homes in Salem and left discour-
ageu. He made an earnest plea to
change this cold community atmosphere
and create one of cordial interest and
lhelpfulness in the stranger. His re-
marks were frequently interspersed
with applause, showing the large audi
ence got his message and were ready to
respond.
South Salem is to lead in the work
of extending the service of the commu.
nifty church to all the people. The
stranger and those who are without So
cial points of contact and are lonesome
and discouraged are to be made the
subject of special interest. The presi-
dent of the Salem Commercial club and
prominent business men were present
and endorsed the movement. Watch the
Community church service grow i'll

 Smiling gaily, just like they do on the stage, the one little, two little, three lit tie, four little, five little "Manchurians' resumed their places in front of me and as l powdered my nose and began opera tons anew, the manager told me some real interesting things about them.
 I found these young fellows some years ago when I was in Manchuria with a cir GUS. I originally had 2S of them over there, but when I started for this country the number had dwindled down to six. The others from sheer fright wouldn't leave their own country because they were told if they did and were ever found again, they'd be boiled in hot oil and rolled out as fiat as sardnes in a box. This naturally scared them nearly to death.
 ''These boys have with me are as nice clean, wholesome set of fellows as you'd find anywhere. They are temperate and moderate in their habits and only two of them smoke; they are really very fine boys
 And the language they speak?' I ven- tured. Tt is neither fish, flesh, nor foul; it's worse than any Chinese writing ever saw, even; that is always done upside down, and you have to stand on your head to read it, and now here they come talking inside out! Whats a body to do?"
 'The language they speak is absolutely different from that of the general run of Chinese that you hear in this country,' was told. Tt is the north of China lam guage, while most of the Chinese who come to your country speak the south of China language. It doesn't seem to in convenience them, however, as they get along splendidly wherever we go.''

<6H NOW any Chinese?" the polite
 N and quite foreign manager A A of the "Manchurians" round at the Lyric asked me blithely yester- day afternoon.
 Chop suey," I told him proudly. He shook his head
 I'm afraid that would never hold m a conversation" said he, pessimisticallv. 'It might go all right for a sentence or two, but if you kept repeating it those five perfectly good little Man churians might think you were pokine fun, and-well-they do awful things in Manchuria to people they suspect of coming"
 l felt the goose flesh coming out all over me as I recalled those Boxer" performances over in northernmost China some years ago, where they pitched into people and cut them up like they were nice little spring lambs with mint sauce, and did lot of other terrible things, but I managed to main tain a preternatural silence (does that sound literary )-resolving myself into the happy state of Pet Margery's Tur- key Gobbler'' at Thanksgiving time whom when cook" was getting ready to decapitate-
 Was more than usual calm (pro-
 nounced like Sam, so it will rhyme) He didn't give a single damn"
 Hadn't I been sitting "out front and seeing those five wonderful little tan acrobats twist and swirl and vault and Whirl and hang, in a state of suspend ed animation, by their long jet black hair, and then hop and skip and jump, and pyramid, and tumble and pirou- cite about the stage in their graceful Chinese fashion, and wasn't I just sim- ply dying to get behind the scenes" and hear about those Interesting peo- pie?
 So-
 l bravely announced:
 I'm not afraid of any Manchurian alive, and if you want me to chat with them I'd just as soon as not"
 You're game; I see that" said the manager" quickly; but you'll find it a terrible task. They speak German splen- didly; we lived in Germany eight years but English-no!'
 Just at that moment the big crowd of matinee people fiocked out of the theatre, while the manager" of the
 
 ducted tour with my humble little self into the wings of the stage-in fact, a step further, for all the company had "vamoosed" and were in their various dressing rooms, and had to be called out to meet the newspaper lady"
 Cant you get a picture of Dolly sit ting on big theatre wardrobe trunk with five little Manchurians all in a row, lined up in front of her, and not one of them speaking word that she could understand?
 'Howdy do?" I said as the manager in troduced Shan Doa Cay, Shan Way Yu, Tsu Win Shu, Dang Shan and--I didn't catch the other ones name. (You are not surprised are you?).
 A broad grin was all got for answer and then suddenly something broke loose that sounded like Bedlam on fire, and all five of my new found friends began chat ting perfectly awful to me; language which is never used in the best circles; an awful conglomeration of Chinese, Man churianese, and German combined, until finally said to the manager
 Are they talking about me? I firmly believe they are saying something dread full about my character or the way I'm dressed or something
 The manager smiled and assured me that my reputation was perfectly safe in

So much have I to thank Thee tor- Life, love and length of days That I am almost stricken dumb And scarce know how to praise So much have I to thank Thee for The sunshine and the rain; For every rose that blooms for me, And for my days of pain. Sc much have I to thank Thee for The things Thou hast denied The fame that I had longed to win, And my sweet child that died. So much have to thank Thee for Chiefly Thy love divine; Although unworthy. undeserved, I am child of Thine. So much have I to thank Thee for My country is at peace; My sons are safe, and now I pray That foreign wars may cease. So much have I to thank Thee for Life, love and length of days, That I am almost stricken dumb And scarce know how to praise.
