to starving Europeans and Chi

ous gift. There is only one seri-
Gus problem attaching to this do
nation. Can Europe and Asia be
taught to eat corn? They prob
ably can because they are hungry
enough to relish almost anything
to keep the little life they have I'M.
til the coming of better days.
In practically no country out

or Indian corn been used to any

The un-American world has sim

now large sections Of that world
are starving. Europe will have a
new food, and America will per-
haps have 4 new export market for
its growing corn crop.

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The final results
of Sundays elections fer the Prussian
Landtag show that the coalition parties
have majority of twenty-five over
the united opposition of the reaction
airy, Communist and Independent So
cialist parties.
The Social Democrats, with III
Deputies, will be the strongest party
IN the new Landtag. Attempts are be-
ing made to persuade the leaders Of
the German Peoples party to join with
the old coalition parties in a new politi-
cal alliance.
The results of the election show a
considerable gain for the reactionary
parties, disaster for the Independent
Socialists, and a swelling of the Com
munist power.
The Nationalists, who represent un-
diluted Hohenzollernism, did remark
ably we'll in some districts, notably at
Potsdam, where the citizens remain
hostile to TIE republic Many middle
class citizens have deserted the Demo-
cratic party, rallying 10 the support of
the Junker parties, while Lenine's Com
munist party captured many voters who
formerly favored the Independent So
ciaiist candidates.

"Our power to bring men to Christ. ~
said Dr.. Manning, does not depend
chiefly upon intellectual effort or anv

bring men to Christ depends chiefly
Ulon what we are. We must ourselves
ne consecrated to Christ and we must
give ourselves in our every relation
10 Him. Then shall we be able to
bring others to Him.
Our work in the churches and
parishes everywhere depends absolute
y upon putting spiritual life and work
lrst and foremost and above all else.
Administration, wise methods of work.
zeal and energy are important, but far
more important is ths bui ding up OF
Chrlst,s kingdom in this world"
DR.. Manning declared that the bar
rlers were down in so far as irreHgion
s concerned; that to-day Christianity
IS more popular subject for discus

This sub-Antarctic region is con-

thick and the days are dark, and it is
possible that the mariner mistook SONS

mistake is natural, for the icebergs
closely resemble islands on account Of
their surface being cast in gloom most
