AGAINST CARELESS
HANDLING "DUDS''

Adjutant General james w. Hanson
mas issued warning to all people who
may desire to enter Sidney bog, which
has recently been used by the field ar
tillery as an artillery range. People
are warned not to enter the bog until
1T has been properly Investigated by
detail of men from the field artillery,
who will see that all "duds." or unex-
ploded shells, are properly taken care
of. This will probably be done today
as the artillery has finished practice
there, and when the bog is safe an
nouncement will be made of the fact
through the columns of this paper
People who may enter the bog after
it has been policed are warned not to
pick up any she'll If it should happen
that any have been left after the
searching party is through. These
shells are dangerous. as the high ex-
plosive shells are set to explode on con-
tact, and while the shrapnel shells are
not set in that manner; they explode
later through some chemical reaction,
and several lives have been lost
through careless handling of souvenirs
of this sort. If one is discovered it
should be left severely alone. its loca-
ton should be marked, and notice
should be sent to the office of the adj
jutant general. who via see that it is

ter.
His exposition of the text was
most interesting, and now and then
the really facetious illustrations
which were given in most happy
vein wrought a lesson not long to be
forgotten by all who heard his mes
sage. The one thought which he de.
sired to- bring out forcibly made
plain tina fact that in order for prayer
to get through to God It must be un-
selfish, and for the glory of God:
Such petitions will surely reach God
and will be honored.
The quintet sang another selection
entitled "Everything's Alright in My
Fathers House." a wonderful rendi-
ton. after which the benediction was
given and the meeting closed.
EVENING SESSION
The evening service of the Chris
tan and Missionary Alliance was
held at the First Baptist church audi
forum where the local branch have
their regular meetings.
After the singing of hSmn, Rev.
Mr.. Frasier of Montreal offered the
prayer. Miss Francis gave another
splendid inspirational talk on Japan

might be saved, and he left 1t to us
to carry the gospel and He was
counting upon His people.
Japan has taken on many OF our
modern inventions. has been educa-
ted and thereby considers 1t has been
evangelical. The Japanese absorbed
in educational matters are just wait
ing for us to take the gospel to
them. In their universities where So
900 students are enrolled, only 60
are Christians. There is a heart
hunger in Japan for knowledge of
God. Splendid young men, clerks in
banks. and others holding positions
of responsibility have come to Miss
Francis seeking to learn about our
God, and Miss Francis declared it
to be our business to give them the
gospel.
The JapanesseS are always so
thankful to the missionaries for their
teachings that Miss Francis stated
how thankful that she was that God
had allowed her to have been born
in America. and to go to Japan with
the message of life"
The quintet rendered several sell
ections at the evening meeting,
among them being. What Did He
Do?" and 1.-THE Royal Telephone"

Rev. II. E. CottrelI of Portland was
in charge of the literature which was
displayed in the chapel which included
many books written by Rev. A. Il.
Simpson, founder Of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance of the World.
The first speaker of the afternoon
session was Miss Mabel Francis of
Hiroshimg. Japan, who has been in the
empire IA years, who said: There are
so few missionaries in Japan that one
seldom gets home to bring to the
homeland the conditions of that coun-
try as of other fields" Miss Francis
said that of all the things which
America sends to Japan the gospel is
the one thing needful, and asked that
The Christian people take Japan to
their hearts in prayer.
The text of the message given by
/ Miss Francis was found in John 1916
verse. which said: you have not
chosen Me. but have chosen YOU" and
went on to ask. 'Have you been faith
full who were chosen? There are two
things for which He chose you--frst.
TO bring forth fruit; second. that we
might have answers to prayer. If we
do not bring forth fruit God is disap-
pointed. One thing essential on our
part is to be willing to serve God"
She declared that missionaries are
not asking for money but for the pray
ers of Christian people, which they
must have A missionary upon first
reaching Japan is impressed with the
quaint little women. little tea-houses.
little wooden shoes. and wonders If all
is real or If one has passed into fairy
land. After a time one finds it the
same there as in other lands. life is a
struggle. The Japanese are found to
be smart, aggressive people, keen and
alive to every advantage to be taken
for their country. and stand stoid ev-
cry man as one behind their emperor,
and in a very short time there has de-
velopcd from country almost IN
known Il great government and nation.
Japan is still four fifths, in dark
ness religiously and needs the gospel
of Jesus Christ above everything. In
speaking to a warden of prison
about Jesus. the man said he was SO
years old and that was the first time
any one had spoken to him Of the
Saviour. A narrative of the CONVEX
sion of a Japanese girl as given by
the missionary was intensely pathetic
and many were moved to tears to
learn of the.heathen darkness which
prevailed that fiowery kingdom.
At the close of the address by Miss
Francis, the ! colored quintet from
Cleveland sang a selection II Want
My Life to Tell for Jesus" which was
wonderfully rendered. These sing
ers are really artists in every sense
of the word and all present greatly
enjoyed this number.
In the absence of the district SUI
perintendent. Rev. f. ]. Evans. who
should have spoken at this session.
Rev. W. T. Macarthur gave a fine
