CALLS FOR FlRST-CLASS MEN
Incident That Shows That Missionary
Work Is Only for Those Who Are
Especially Efficient.

Bangs was sent to Bang-bang up in
the Malay peninsula. This is not ms
name, nor is it the place, but that does
not matter. The story is true. HIS
instructions were to start school Tor
the Chinese and to open up mission
work.. The government had promised
to provide the land for the school
building and Bangs expected to find
waiting for him a very extensive sub
scriptiOn list signed by wealthy Chi
nese to meet the expenses of building.
He was instructed to present himself
to the police inspector, who was sup
posed to be heartily backing the prof.
ect Shortly after Bangs arrival the
official was suddenly transferred for
excellent reasons. Then Bangs discov-
cred that the names of all the brother
keepers in the region were on his sub
scription list They had no objections
to subscribing when the inspector of
police argued the cause, but they felt
very differently about paying out their
cash when young missionary came to
collect the money. Meanwhile Bangs
found that the contract for the school
building had been let TO dishonest
builder. He sent out POO notices 10
leading Chinese inviting them to meet
and confer on the proper action to he
taken. No one came. He called a
meeting Of his executive committee.

RnoegvELT's DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS C0UNTRYMEN

Col. Roosevelt died about 4 O'Clock
on the morning of January 6. The
previous evening ut great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome a
message wars read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:
awe have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
&c a nation TO which we are hostile,
.ss and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people"
