Our missionaries already on the
field have wrought wonderfully for the
Master, considering the difficulties
they have had to confront" DIR. j. f.
Love, secretary Of foreign missions
declares, ~but we at home have not
supported them as we ought with help
ers of all kinds and with schools, hos
pitfalls and other agencies to enable
them to do a larger work in every way.
The smallness of the work we have
done already can be realized when we
look at the vast number of people who
have not been reached in the foreign
fields we are occupying today, China
for instance, has a population four
times that of the United States, or one
fourth the population of the entire
world, and our force there consists oil
only 65 men, 81 married women, 49,
unmarried women, 81 ordained natives
and 420 unordained native helpers
Japan, which has half as many people
as the United States, is being served
by men, married women, unmsx
ried women, IL ordained natives and G
unordained native helpers. In Italy
there are third as many people as
there are in the United States, yet we
have there only men, 2 married WON
en-, 35 ordained natives, and unordain,

people, and we have in that country
and on the border missionary force
consisting of IL men, IL married WON

we have entered only one state, that
of Nigeria, but this state has: a popu

people we have only men mission

territory larger than all the United
States and population of 50,0O0,o00
Serving those people we have force
of "a men, 33 married women, un

almost in the shadow of the famous
Stone Sails Of Guadalupe. Probably
the black browed gardener Is now a
Villista, but he was then a peaceable,
polite young "greaser," who flashed
into smiles when his little patch of
paradise was admired. The Mexican
sun is unkind even to the cactus, and
soon draws all moisture from the
ground. leaving it dry and desiccated
as powder, but Pedro's garden was
green and blooming, and the plants
did not even droop in the fierce glare.
l wondered what magic kept the soil
so moist, and found 1t was bottles.
The Mexican hates to destroy bot
tie. Ever since the Aztecs buried
earthern water bottles or jars with
their dead because in ancient times a
water bottle was a precious possess
sion. the Mexican has had the habit
of saving bottles and utilizing them IL
possible in many ways. In the State
OF Morales they are used to pave the
streets, being placed neck down, the
spaces between the large bottles filled
in with smaller ones and liquid CO.
ment being poured between them. The
result Is a firm and beautiful pave
ment that glitters in the tropical sun

long time. When the little plot of

his seeds. sure that no drought could
wither the tender green sprouts. The
glass held the water which Pedro
showered on it with n hose thrice n
day. and the plants flourished accord
ingly.
Such long red peppers, such corn,
such beans! l have been wondering
ever since why some one does not try
similar experiment in irrigation in
our own milder climate. Italian gar
deners are well aware of the value OF
a layer of something beneath the soil
that will hold moisture. and so they
spade under all the garden refuse, as
well as rags, old coats, &C. This is
one of the secrets OF the Italians sue
cess as a gardener.
There is one flower, however, that
needs no moisture to coax forth its
strange and terrible blossom. 1t is

the oldest and most beautiful floral
