"As much for others as for our

for local congregational expense. This
is no unreasonable goal. yet compare

In connection with the recent Nash

penses, $3.704. for home missions and

for foreign missions, $4,000, total
for missions and benevolences OF VIA
1913, practically four times as mucn ns
for self maintenance. This record is
not duplicated by one church In a
thousand. 1t should be q striking les
son to the multitude Of self-ccntered
churches that expend all their thought
and money on their own maintenance
and have next to nothing left for the
large interests Of Christ's kingdom.

BUDDHIST MISSIONARIES
WON TO CHRISTIANITY

How he and his father, faithful

win some Chinese Christians to the
Buddhist religion. were themselves ut
terly silsncsd and won to Christianity
10 told in an interesting way by Or.
waung. the skilled Chinese physician
at the head of the Presbyterian Cos
pei Hospital in Changchow. He says:
my father and both believed firm
w in Buddhism. When ! was fifteen
there was q shop established by Chris
tians near our home. We thought
very strangely OF their doctrine, and
began to pity them that they did not
know the perfect and deep teachings
Of Buddhism. One night my father
decided to go into their shop and OK
hort them to turn to Buddhism. Az
soon as we went in. however. the
Christians In the shop began to exhort
US earnestly to become Christians, and
we could say nothing to them, because
II seemed to US that their religion was
better than ours. We went again q
few times trying to win their souls.
but at last we ourselves surrendered
to the Lord. 1t shows that the truth
is always ccnquering
I'VE were the first fruits Of the gos-
pei in our native town. Our ncigh-
bors and friends were surprised at
seeing us turn away from the old Gus
toms. Many despised us. but come fol-
lowed us to become believers in
Christ. and a seif-supporting church
was established at that place. Now
there are over three hundred church
members around that town. bcsidcs In

MARION Wins
THE GAME
coach Byars And Twelve Big Men
Marched Up From Stureis
And Back Again"

Marion opened the football
season here Friday by defeating
the heavy Sturgis team by the
score 6 too. The game WAS in
doubt until the middle Of the last
quarter when a short forward
pass. Conyer to Oliver, from
Sturgis, twenty yard line decided
the contest. Incidentally we
might state that this is the first
football game that a Marion team
has won since Adam romped
across the football field in the
garden of Paradise.
The game was fiercely contest
ed, the ball being in midie Id
most of the time. At only one
time did Sturgis threaten 10
score and then Hamilton punted
out of danger. Fumbles were
| frequent on both sides on ac-
count Of the severely cnld wind
that swept across the field.
Much credit is due the Ma'io1
line for their exec lent work
throughout the game Although
