EMULATION COUNTS IN LIFE
Woman Evangelist Was Evidently

In an Indiana city. not long ago. q
woman evangelist held a revival meet

services were In progress. but on the
final night she announced that free
will Offering would be In order. Inter
est in the meetings had been growing
pnd the church was crowded TO eapac-
ity. The uShers, with contribution
plates, started on their rounds. The
evangelist said she had instructed them
to say "Amen" whenever 25 cents was
dropped into the plate; when 80 cents
the usher was to say "Hsllelujah !" and
when 81 the usher was to say GLORY
halleluJah!" In u loud tone. The col
lection amount to $l.1OO.
II there had been 40 emulation the
total might have been small, but the
evangelist knew that no person with
money to give would be content with
an amen" when = neighbOr, sitting In
the next pew, was acclaimed with O

Without such emulation there would
be nothing to drag men and women
away from the commonplace things of
life. There would be nothing to induce
one boy to seek for the head of his

LIVE IN STRANGE ABoDES
Danes and Hollanders Would Seem to
Take Big Chances in the
North Sea.

The worlds strangest dwelling
places are TO be found In the North
sea, not far from HelgOland.
Centuries ago there was large and
prosperous island province, called
NOrdstrand, off the coast of Schleswig-
Holstein. Storm and earthquake de-
StrOyed it one Sunday night, and near
ly 5000 people were drowned.
In course of time, however, high
mounds emerged from the waters, and
ultimately venturesome Hollanders
built their cottages on the SUBMITS Of
these mounds. BY sharing fowl and
Wild duck, collecting eggs, oysters, and
seals, they managed TO exc out living
The sea -girt mounds are known as
"halligen." Except on GLAND, the larg-
est, there are no trees or fuel, except
that obtained from submerged beds
Of peat, and no fresh water except
rain-Water collected in butts.
Nevertheless, adventurous DaAes
and Hollanders, attracted by the thou
sands of wild fowl and fish. continue
to live on the "halligen." in spite OF
the fact that four months in the year
the coarse grass pastures, on which
rattle just manage 10 live, lie under
water. Sometimes all is swept away.

Stored Old CITY

Danzig is one of the most strongly
fortified cities in the world, and has
been so through its history Il was a
free city through centuries for the
same reason that most free cities of
the marauding ages were free-be-
cause its people had seized upon the
naturally powerful defensive topog-
raphy Of the country surrounding,
and made its defenses almost impreg-
nable. 1t was too tough a nut for the
kings Of the middle ages to crack
with their armies, so they graclously
allowed 1t to be free Under the for
mer German emperor, its militaristic
aspect was even more accentuated
than II was in the days when 1t was
one of the Big Four" Of the Han
seattle league. With Konigsberg, Thorn
and Posen. It formed a mighty chain
Of fortreSses.

might start a motor factory or pro-
mote development societies. Why, I

Christ and his a postles declared
