THANKSGIVING In SOOchOw.

anksgiving day in Soochow | he'd
delightful dinner in the home of DR..
and Mrs. McMillin, with the other
Soochow Baptist missionaries. That
morning we climbed the "Great Pag-
oda," reputed to be the largest pago-
da in China. 1t has nine stories, is
$50 feet high, and is marvel of pro-
portion. 1t was surprise to learn
that these great towers situated on
high peaks about every Chinese city
are not used primarily for worship.
The most likely explanation why they
have invested millions in these struc-
lures is in reference to the mythical
dragon" or much feared "evil
spirits" The theory is that the dra-
gon jumps from high point to high
point. SO pagodas are built on high
places surrounding the cities so the
dragon" will jump from pagoda to
pagoda, thus missing entirely the city
below,

CHINESE CHOW IN S0OCHOW, & EXPERIENCES
(ROLAND g. LEAVELL.)

these scraps under the tables, which
reminded me now the CanaanltlSn
woman said to Jesus Even the dogs
eat OF the crumbs when fall from
their masters table"
one OF the most evident things in
China is the great number OF beggars
VINO assall on every turn. Some are
blind, some diseased, some lame, some
are Ieprous. We can easily see how
Jesus sympathy would go out to the
blind beggar- in John 9. OF picture the
healing OF the lame man by Peter
and Jonn at the door called "Beauti-
full" Even the poorest Bible student
could not see tn elepers in the river
boats or sitting outside the city gates
without thinking of our Masters
power over this dreadful disease.
The low roofs, the threshing floors,
the women grinding grain at their
front doors, mad the little donkeys
which we often rode, all bring vivid
thoughts of various scriptures.
But not least of all, | was interest
ed in the little wood workers shops
where often saw an older man teach
ing his boy the trade. Doubtless the
shop where the Carpenter of Naza-
reth' as a boy became obedient to
Joseph was very much like these
strangely interesting Oriental work
shops.

OLD NORTH GATE CHURCH

One of the most interesting things
to me in this great commercial center
was a large modern institutional Bap-
tist Church, just completed years ago.
This new Church was paid for entirely
by money raised in China. 1t has
lodging capacity for young men,, a
gymnasium, basket ball and volley
ball court, shower baths, a tea room,
81 roof garden, and conference rooms,
besides the great auditorium for
preaching and lectures. While stand-
ing out on top of the building with
DR.. Bryan, he pointed round over tie
roof tops of the city, making a wide
circle with his outstretched arm.
and said "You are now looking on
the roofs covering probably more
than two million people whom we
want to reach for Christ.

Continued next week.
CIVILIZATION AND
SAVAGERY.

The prevalence of divorces in "civ-
ilized" countries is becoming peril
to the morality of the Caucasian race.
In certain savage country a wo-
man goes and lives with man a year
or two ''On trial" If both are salts
fled they then are married according
to the regular tribal custom. If they
are not satisfied with each other,
they go their separate ways and try
again with other mates.
In "civilization" it is slightly differ
ent. They go to a minister and have
a few words said over their bowed
heads. Then they, too, try it out. If
not satisfied, they go to judge, tell
a few narrowing stories, possibly a
few lies, and are legally authorized
to go out and try again with other
mates.
Very simple, isn't it?
Not so much difference between
civilization and savagery, is there?
We look down and pity the poor
savage in his ignorance and supersti-
tion.
We contribute large sums that he
may become "civilized" and in line
for our own particular line of de-
bauchery.
In our superior bigotry we chroni-
Gle the shortcomings of inferior races,
unmindful of the fact that morality
in some of those countries is far in
advance of our own.
Without doubt there are occasions
upon which divorce is preferable from
a moral standpoint to longer living
together.
But unquestionably large per
centage of divorces are granted upon
flimsy excuses and perjured testi-
mony.
If the party at fault in such an ac-
ton were forbidden to ever marry
again we might have fewer divorces
and a greater number of reasonably
contented homes.
If people could be brought to real
ize that the remedy is sometimes
worse than the disease they might be
induced to see brighter light and
make the best of bad bargain.
"Civilized" morality is tottering in
the balance, with the scales fitting in
the wrong way.

CHAPTER Ill.

1t surprises the traveller on first
entering the harbor of Shanghai to
see the "sky line" along the water
front, for it is second to very few
cities in America. Shanghai is the
'.New York of the Orient" for there
one can see so many ships and so
many representatives from so many
nations all over the earth.
On street car one dav | was talk
ing French to a man from France.
He asked me where | live. When |
pronounced the name of my Missis-
sippi home, another man across the
car jumped up and grabbing my hand
asked what l had said about Oxford.
1t developed that he was rector of the
Episcopalian Church there over 25
years ago.

Chinese Children.

At the feast there was little girl
carrying round with her little baby
girl about twenty months old. This
little baby was all quilted in with cot
ton padding ad bright embroidered
silk clothes. The mother had just
quilted her up for the winter. About
next Spring she will cut these clothes
off of her. | was struck with the ap-
pearance of this little baby and held
out my arms to her. And she came.
We were having big time until the
older girl asked her question. Bro.
McMillin told me what was said.
"Who has you?" she asked the
baby.
The baby turned and looked at me
for the first time to see who really did
have her.
"a foreign devil" she screamed,
and left me in a hurry.
Somewhere | have read that China
has 65,000,000 children of school age.
OF these there are 60,000,O0O without
school houses, teacher, nor books. Only
one child out of twelve has any chance
at all at education. The Gospel of
our Lord alone will give to these mil
hons that which they need most of all,
| a Christian education.
Here we sing
Savior, thy dying love thou gaved-
st me,
Nor would l ought withhold, dear
Lord. from thee"
Now as we are singing that let us
remember these millions of little fell
lows over there and think how He
said:
"ln as much as we have done it un-
to the least of these--,ye have
done it unto me-"

A Chinese Birthday Feast.

That night Bro. McMillin and l
went to a feast given in honor of an
old gentleman's 10th birthday. We
were the only two foreigners in the
midst of about so guests. The feast
was spread in a little open court open
ing right out on the street. We sat
round small tables, six or eight
guests at each table. The band be-
gan to play -! Oh! They call it
music. l imagine big fight at
midnight on a tin roof between nine
cats, seven dogs, and thirteen pigs
would sound identically like Chinese
music. Then the food began to come.
i thinl, there were some thirty-three
courses served in all, each dish being
a separate course. The dishes were
placed in the middle of the table, and
at the same time all Of us reached in
with our chop sticks, and pulled out
our bites.
! Only partial menu can be printed.
We had watermelon seed, quail legs,
; chicken livers, roasted duck skins,
shark fins, tripe of fish, stewed moo
dies, salted almonds, lime cooked an
cient eggs, bamboo sprouts, caladiun1
roots, sausage la Chinaman, Clipped
| hog livers, stewed goose served
whole with head, legs and every
thing, baked land terrapin, mush-
rooms, various styles of green vege-
tables, baked beetles, mashed up
beans, and of course there was tea
and rice. The last dish was a de-
licious piece of roast pork which we
were not supposed to touch in order
to show our host we had eaten so
heartily we were unable to touch the
most inviting dish. There were 9TH
er things which l thought | recogniz-
ed, but they were SO very much like
what | thought they must be, | was
afraid to ask about them. Wet
towels were brought after each course
and taken back I was Just afraid
amid all those so or more guests l
would not get my same wet towel each
time, so I had no sort of napkin after
| the first course.
Scenes Like New Testament Incidents.
l saw many things that reminded
me of things recorded about the Ori-
entail life as described in the four
Gospels.
| Bro. McMillin retired to the back
of the room at that feast but we were
brought out by the host and given
the central seats of honor. Jesus
spoke often of the chief seats at
feasts.
Our feast was in an open court
opening out into the street. In addi-
tion to our fifty guests there crowded
into this small court at least 100 out
siders, men, women, children, beggars,
and loafers, just watching US eat.
In Luke 7, we read where Jesus for
gave sinful woman while at Phari-
sees table, and was severely criticis-
ed by the host for dealing at all with
her. Why criticise Jesus for bless
ing a guest? She wasn't guest but
just came in off the street with other
onlookers.
As we ate from common dish
placed in the center of each table,
thought of how Judas and Jesus ate
J, from the same dish.
| Since we had no plates but took the
food with chop sticks directly from
the dish to our mouths, we threw the
scraps, bones, and crumbs on the dirt
floor. A number of dogs came in
from the streets and were eating
