VISITING CHICAGO; THINGS
WORTH SEEING; "A DAY
AT THE MOODY BIBLE
INSTITUTE"

A trip 10 Chicago would, no doubt
be considered incomplete by many
people in active Christian work
without visiting the Moody Bible
Institute. This institution, founded
by the worldwide evangelist, ID. L.
Moody, in 1886, is located about
eight blocks north Of the center OF
the city, near the corner of Chicago
Avenue and North La Sale street.
The main building faces on Institute
Place, named in honor Of the school,
The visitor finds a cordial well
come at the Institute and is furni-
shed a guide who directs him about
the buildings and explains the diff
ferent departments and the daily
life Of the student body.
Upon entering the main building,
the visitor is impressed with the
stained glass window at the head
Of the first landing illustrating the
sower striding across the plOwed
field sowing broadcast the seed.
This is intended to be an object les
son To the students Of what is ex-
pected Of them during the time OF
their training and throughout their
lives.
On the main floor the visitor is
shown the library, the missionary
museum. the lecture hall, and the
Accounting and Printing Depart
ments. On the west wall Of the cor
ridor he finds the names Of over $50
students who have gone to foreign
mission fields-a roll of honor. Pas
sing down stairs, he next visits the
power and heating plant and the
steam laundry, where all the laund-
ry Of the students is done at half
price.
Through an underground tunnel.
across the Institute Place, the visit
or reaches the Mems Building with
its gymnasium and dormitories.
Then comes the Women's Building
with its large Dining Hall and Kitch-
en-, the Massey Chapel, Reception
Room and DormitorIes for women.
The students. with the faculty, con-
stitute one big family. Over 500
are seated in the dining hall at each
meal.
In the early morning, before
each student observes
The Quiet Hour" in personal Bible
and prayer. After break
fast. while still gathered at the tab
les, a heart-to-heart talk or Bible
exposition is given by some member
Of the faculty or some visiting pas
tor. evangelist or missionary. Fol-
lowing the evening meal, fellowship
are held in the different
Proper consideration is also given
to wholesome recreation. Monday is
always taken as a rest day. At the
Of each term, a reception
is given for new students. In these
and other ways the students at the
Moody Bible Institute find them
selves continually in q wholesome,
Christian atmosphere which is con-
iucive To physical, intellectual and
spiritual development.
The visitor leaves the Institute
with fresh courage for his own life
and the conviction that life is really
worth while if spent in the right
way.

U. S. MISSION SAFE
IN RUSSIAN PORT
Party Headed by Root Makes
Trip Across Pacific.
WILL GIVE AID TO COUNTRY

Believed Assurances Il erIngs From
the American Government VIII %
Much In Strengthening Hand Of the
Provisional Russian Government.
Washington, June 4.-The American
commission to Russia, headed by
Elihu Root, ambassador extraordinary.
has arrived safely at a Russian port.
according to a dispatch to the navy
department.
The commission left Washington
about May Is. charged with greetings
to the new democratic government of
Russia and authorized to pledge un-
stinted aid from the United States
not only in the prosecution of the
war against the common enemy, but
in the rehabilitation of the democrat
lied country. II was preceded by q
special mission of railroad experts,
whose arrival already has been an
nounced.
After a final conference between
President Wilson and Mr.. Root, the
commissioners travelled overland to
the Pacific coast and there boarded
q fast naval vessel for the voyage
to the Orient.
Under the voluntary censorship.
nearly all American newspapers re-
Trained from publishing anything
about their departure or the points
through which they passed along tho
way. While no German submarines
are known to be operating in the Pa
cific, It was deemed wise to print no
details Of the trip until the party were
safely landed.
The reception of the party at Pet
rograd is awaited anxiously because
II is confidently believed that the as
surance It brings from the American
government and the people and the
council Of its members will do much
toward steadying and Strengthening
the hand of the provisional govern
men,.
With Mr.. Root are the following:

when q country that has prac-
tically no army suddenly needs
large one, there are two ways Of
getting il. One way is for the Gov
eminent TO determine by law what
citizens must become soldiers, the
other way is to permit each citizen
To choose for himself, so far as the
law is concerned, whether he will
become a soldier or not. The first
way is called CONSUMPTION, the Sec
ond volunteering.
Consumption not New
Consumption is not unknown in
our history; both the Government
Of the United States and that of the
Confederacy resorted TO il in the
Civil War. or volunteering we have
had experience in all our wars, and
there can be no doubt that the
American tradition is still, on the
whole, opposed to CONSUMPTION.
Registration Required
Nevertheless, Congress has passed,
and the President has signed, at the
very outset of our present war, a
law under which all the men in the
country. between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty years, both
inclusive, be registered on the fifth
of June, and from the list of those
names are to be drawn
by lot until, after the rejection or
excuse Of such as the law pro-
vides for. there shall remain
enough, held for service, TO make an
army Of the required size. Those
thus held probably will not exceed
a total number Of million, or say
one in ten Of those who register.
That is as many as the Government
can arm and equip within a year,
and il probably is as many as the
country can spare from active EN-
ployment il. while still continuing
the indispensable processes Of its
industrial life. il is to arm and
clothe and feed a million soldiers
besides.
Consumption Seleotive
The CONSUMPTION is, therefore,
"selective:" a large share Of those
drawn will not be required TO serve.
II is still too early TO say with ex-
actness what the basis OF selection
will be. But the law directly ex-
empts the civil officers OF the United
Stairs and Of the several States
land, Of course, persons already in
the military or naval service Of the
United States, also ministers Of re-
ligion and members of religious
scots whose creeds forbid them to
engage in war.
Classes Exempted
II also indicates pretty plainly
other classes Of persons who may
be exempted because of their Oc-
equations, including county and
officials. custom house
and postoflice employees, pilots and
marines, and persons engaged in
industries, including agriculture,
found to be necessary to the main
tenance Of the military establish
ment or the effective operation Of
the military forces or the mainte-
nance Of national interest" Be-
sides these, persons registered.
whatever their occupations. are not
unlikely to be exempted who have
others wholly dependent upon them
for support. or course the physi-
cally incapable. the cripples and
and also the morally I'M
III will be rejected. In other words,
the government will make up its
mind whether a particular man is
more useful in the army or else
whore, and will put him in the
army only in case he is more useful
there. The problem what he ought
to do, that has been troubling many
a patriotic young man, will be clear

they started out through snow and

Women,s Rights in Philippines.

Women in the Philippines, from Fili- pino to lfugano and from Kalinga to Moro. have a lot to say about the way things are run.
 My first realization of the different status of Philippine womanhood came on the Pacific steamer on which I last returned to the United States. A young Filipino wanted to wrestle with some of the Japanese on board But his wife was with him and she feared she would lose Il husband in the melee. She ve- toed his desire with considerable ease and perfect effectiveness. If she had been q Chinese, Japanese or Indian of the same class her husband would have wrestled as long as he wanted to, or could, and the woman in the case would have kept her mouth shut. In the Philippines I have observed that the woman holds the purse and the gavel.-Christian Herald.
