OF course. what they had read

country ways So when II was DIS

last AZ Easter time and that grand
mother needed company lust at the
very time mother wanted 10 take q
trip with father everybody was happy
and bags were packed for q visit vth
grandmother
New grandmother wasn't real
stcfy-book grandmother. for she
didn't live on a farm And. as every
BODY knows that's where story book
granduothers usually I've. But she
lived a. the next best plaee--a small
village. OF course the girls asked
piles Of questions but what are ques-
tscrs compared with visiting a place
and seeing for yourself everything
little girls want 70 know Fortunate
~ there were only two days between
the time the visit was decided upon
and the time for leaving. 60 there
wasn't much chance 70 wonder
Going on the train was great fnn.
Grandmother lived only a three hours
ride from the big city, where Marcy
and Jane lived. hut the ride came tpst
at lunch time. Al FIRST the riris.
mother had thought they had better
carry a luncheon with them. Then
aha decided that they had better get

that meant eat in the diner. II you

Then you'd both better get up and
look around" suggested grandfather.
For when was out by the lilac
hedge just now
Yes. what did you see?" demanded
Jane, as grandfather stopped.
III never tell" laughed grand
father. "but l will go out there with
you If you want me too"
Marcy and Jane fairly tumbled into
their clothes. they dressed so fast and
in record breaking time they were out
on the porch and starting for the
back yard.
And what do you suppose they
found out there?
In a corner close up by the hedge,
there was an old table that had had
fence put around it and q root
put over one end. And on this table
high and dry from the damp ground
were three OF the prettiest little white
rabbits the girls had ever seen. And
more wonderful still, all over the bot
tom OF the cage (for that was really
what the old table had been made
into) were gay-colored eggs of every
| kind and hue.
They're all yours" grandfather
said. rabbits. eggs and all. You may
play with the rabbits this vacation

you may have them again in the sum

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE.
Small Boy 9atifed That the Bill for His Three Days Fun Was Not.
 Exorkitant

At last little Freddy was allowed to visit grandpa all alone. They were great friends. and had long waited for the great day.
 Freddy had the time of his life. Grandpa saw that he wanted for nothing. The small boy ate more cream buns in those three days than he would otherwise have done in three years. while his pockets buged all the time with candies.
 But there comes an end to every thing, and Freddy went home again, pale yellow of complexion, and lanGuid and feyerish Mother promptly sent for the doctor, who ordered him to bed. and sent him some very unpIeas- ant. but doubtless healing medicine.
 Grandpa came next day and was permitted to creep upstairs to see how the sufferer was faring. He found the small boy lying wan and pale on his pillow, but received watery smile as a welcome.
 "Oh, grandpa said the weak little voice, i've been awfully bad--but it was worth it."

To Judge from observation what the

before the return of our LORD and

time of delutiOn, war. famine and

in the Grit about the revival at Jules

the most important question in this
life; which is to be right with God.
1t was our object in returning to
China this time to erect a hospital
at this place, but the low exchange
of gold and the high prices of build
ing material have made it impossible
to start with this, so instead of this
l have started evangelistic work IN
this city. In this work | have mad
three native evangelists to help me
and great numbers have been reached
with the gospel. One of those evan

man of the Julesburg neighborhood,

the heathens, as Mr.. Jones now has

against each other, this Province has
been one of the main battle fields. The
greater part being in the hands of
the Northerns. During the last year
these two great factions have split
up into several factions and negotia-
tions are being made between these
factions which may result in uniting
the whole country or dividing it an
other way. If it unites these differ
ent factions may constitute different
political parties, but instead Of union
it is likely to be another internal
war. The greatest danger during this
chaotic condition of the political power
is the spreading of the ideas of boil
shevism, which in some parts of the
country is being promoted by promin-
ent men. In the province of Fukien
a powerful general in the army is
giving the spread of bolshevism in
its most radical form his wholeheart-
ed support and the attitude of the
students in China appears at times
to promote bolshevism, as aggitatons
for strikes at times are extended to
the lower classes of workmen, but
so far their aggitation has been more
against certain faction of the Peking
parlement called the Au Flu club and
against the Japanese. The danger
however is great in awakening of the

Before l close this my letter l have
to answer question made in the
rit-Advocate by writer some time
ago. He wrote about the high prices
of coal and asked what one should
burn since coal is SO dear and l would
say, burn Russian Thistles. Here coal
issstill higher, for the price bas varied
from $50 to $50 ton since we came
here, but even before it was so high
the chinese would take care Of every
thing that could be burned on the
ground and used it for burning. Now
if the chinese had such an amount
of Russian Thistles as you have
around Julesburg, they would never
think about burning coal. Why is
there not some brilliant brain COM
bined with the ordinary American
dash, able to invent some scheme of
producing good firewood out of all
those Russian Thistles you have. I
am sure they could be made good use
of if they in some way could be
smashed up and formed into burnable
solid pieces, by some solution to make
