REPUBLICAN FORM OF
GOVERNMENT IN CHINA
MikadO Shall Never Rule In
Peking, Chinese Declare.
BY Use YuNG SoCNG,
Editor In Chief of the Chinese St,
dents Monthly.

That the republican form of govern
ment has come to stay in China is evi
denced by the appointment of Mr.. Kai
Flu Shah as diplomatic adviser To the
Chinese foreign office at Picking Mr.
Kai Flu Shah preceded Dr. V. h Wei
lington Zoo as China 5 minister at
Washington.
1t is recalled here that Mr. Shah
never wavCred in his loyalty to the
Chinese republic. His appointment is
as acceptable to his Chinese admirers
in America as to his many American
friends While the mandate giving the
viaticum to the monarchical movement
may have surprised some Americans,
it is no surprise to Chinese who know
their country and realize what a firm
hold republicanism has taken in China
Everything points to the fact that
political sentiment in China is solidly
republican y plain admission of this
fact is the mandate signed by Mr.. Hsu
Shi Chang. who has returned to the
cabinet as secretary Of state, telling
the world that Yuan Shih Kai rejects
the emperorship and resumes the pres
idency.'

Obituary.

The subject Of this sketch was
our beloved sister, Miss Marga.
ret Dugger, who departed this
life Sept. IA, 1915. She was a
great sufferer for many years but
bore it with great christian pa
tience and fortitude. She was 65
years and l day old. She Joined
the Brushy Fork Baptist church
in Nov. 1877. In later years she
Moved her membership to Cove
Creek Baptist church, where she
remained a member until 8 h e
moved her letter, going into the
constitution of the Willow Dale
church, where she remained a
faithful member until her death.
Sister Margaret was ever ready
to extend a helpinghand to those
in distress; was ready to speak a
kind word to all and to cheer the
unfortunate. She often expressed
her willingness to go, her only re-
gret being to leave her lonely SIS
ter who had been so faithful to
her during her sickness.
She left three brothers and one
sister, together with many pIa-
tives and friends to mourn her
departure. She is a great loss to
the church and Sunday school,
yet we realize that it is her eter.
nal gain. Let US take knowledge
of her noble, christian life. May
we all live up to her example.
But her sorrows quickly fed,
When she heard His gentle voice,
Christ had risen from the dead,
Now he bids her heart rejoice.
What q change His work can
make,
Turning darkness into day.
Ye who weep for Jesus sake,
He will wipe your tears away.

The Great Boon.

The boon of peace is slick as
grease, and we should guard and
prize it, and love it we'll, for war
is hell-no delegate denies it. On
Europe's strand, where peace is
canned, and all the kings are
scrappy, the people know the
depths of woe, and not a soul is
happy. But here, where peace
fulflls it's lease, with industry, it's
neighbor, remote from fear we
walk and hear the sounds ofhon.
est labor. The mill wheels hum,
the plumbers plumb, the farmers
go a-seeding, and you can walk
a city block and see no fellow
bleeding. The spinner spins, the
timer tins, the banker banks the
boodle-oh. happy land, wherein
the band is playing Yankee Doc
die! Such peace as this is surely
bliss, the timbrel sounds oul
gladness, the psalter psalts. the
walter walts-to whoop for wal
is madness! By Europe's streams
the moonlight CLEANS on palt
and ghastly corpses and HEAVIER
