ON POWER OF GOSPEL

Fruitful Revival Services TN
Third Christian.

THE Power Of tho Gospel'' WAS the
theme from which DR.. George w.
Kemper talked last night at the re-
vival services in Third Christian
Church, which have been in progress
for several days
DR.. Kemper asserted that the esti-
mate in which the gospel IL held Is far
different from that OF the early CEN
fury.
NO man suffers in society for be-
ing a Christian" he declared. He
IL elevated. Christianity puts man at
his very best Mighty things come
from Christian lands. Most rapid
progress II art and science has taken
place in Christian countries and
Christianity has touched the intellect
OF the human soul and the inventive
genius which has given US all OF our
modern improvements. Why should
we be ashamed Of such a goepel?"
DIR. Kemper closed with q fervent
appeal for appreciation Of the real
meaning Of Christian life and a finer
adherence to the teachings OF the Man
OF Galilee.
Much interest Is being manifested
in the revival services. the church
having been packed each night. DR.
Kemper's sermons have been forcefuI
and interesting. The singing, which
10 led by William Adams. has been
very good. The services viii continue
through this week.

 BEINGS IN. YEAR
Fierce Creatures Surprise Au- thorities/ By Boldness of
 Expectations.

Seoul, Korea, June 15-Accustomed d as Koreans are to the attacks of wild animals in the mountains, they have been astonished to learn that during the last year 12O people were killed by beasts and that oyer 5000 domestic animals were either killed or injured. This havoc was Wrought by tigers, 1eopards, bears and Korean wolves, but is was the wolf, according to of ficia1 statistics, that did the greatest amount of harm. It is estimated that these ferocious creatures slew 113 per sons and injured 50 besides killing or injuring 517 cattle and 1,519 other domestic animals.
 The Korean wolf which is locally known as/ the neuktai is a powerful animal of the canine species, a little larger but longer and thlnner than the native Korean dog. In color it is brown and gray. It possesses piercing eyes and in face of danger or while capturing prey shows wonderful agil- ity, hiding itself in underbrush, jump ing over high cliffs or swiftly swim ming across rivers and lakes. In at tackfng pony or COW it will leap upon the victims flank and kill instantly by tearing open some vital part. In attacking a man it will follow him for a time and occasionally leap over his head seeking to unnerVe him and cause him to fall to the ground when 1t will immediately attack and kill. Oftentimes it will summon it's mates to assist in attacking. There are in stances of where a wolf has carried off a big boy for a considerable dis tance or where it has jumped over a high wall with a pig in it's mouth.
 The Korean authorities are exert ing every effort to exterminate the animal and rewards are offered for each wolf that is killed.
