Radio Letters and
Ru1nanian Trade

Now we have the radio letter serv-
ice, which is facilitating trade for
the United States with other coun-
tries.
Rumania has started this CONNER
cial innovation, according to official
reports from Consul Ely E. Palmer, at
Bucharest. The Rumanian council Of
minister's has approved Rumania's
participation in the international
service Of radio letters to American
countries. which has just become ef-
fective.
The radio letters will be sent to
Germany, whence they will be sent
to America AS the commercial or
private use Of code is forbidden by
the Rumanian authorities the trans
action Of business between the two
countries by cable has been frequent
ly hindered and attended by heavy
expenses and misunderstandings
Under the new system a radio letter
will cost about $1.70 for twenty
words, which is considerably less
than the $7.16 required for the corre-
spending cablegrarn and will be
transmitted in better time.
1t is believed that the new radio
letter service will greatly facilitate
the transaction Of business between

How the American Peanut
Was Introduced Into China.

The original Chinese peanut looks
like a shrivelled up old lady about
80. Until 35 years ago the 400 900, 600
people in China knew nothing about
any better variety. But in the year
1890 Archdeacon Thompson of the
American Episcopal Mission took to
China four quarts Of foreign pea
nuts" as the large variety Is COM
monty called in China to the present
day. '~,2.'~ =:
Mr.. Thompson divided them equally
with DR.. Charles. r. Mills of the
American Presbyterian Mission, who
took them with him to his town in
Shantung, which province has be-
come one of the greatest peanut GEN.
ters of the world.
DR.. Mills divided his two quarts of
peanuts with two~of his church mem
be rs on the condition that they should
increase them for three years and at
the end of that time use them for
general distribution. One Of the
farmers at the end of the first year
ate all his crop. They were fine and
big and he could not resist the temp
tation. The second farmer. however,
fulfilled his contract faithfully and
distributed them at the end of the
third YEAR. Because Of their large
size they were eagerly accepted and
grown widely.

faith, prayer and discipline. In the
busy rush of our life we sometimes
ignore the spiritual, while we give
ourselves wholly to the physical.
Need of nm Awakening.
On every hand today we are hear
ing discussions concerning the need
of moral and spiritual awakening.
tain aspects of our life that make
such an awakening imperative.
Whenever there is disclosure of
an insistent demand for more reH-
gious training and discipline. We
are peculiarly given to spasms of
this kind, and they are generally
ephemeral. Our whole attitude to-
ward religion is in the main illogical
and unreasonable. We give tacit rec
ognition of the beauty and the SUI
preme qualities in the life of christ.
We recognize the place that the
church holds in our individual and
corporate life,- but when it comes to
making our religion a matter Of
real self-disclpiine and obedience to
definite rules that are vitality related
to it we treat the whole subject with
reconsideration. We have been trying
by all sorts OF ways to reform man
by superimposed laws, and we have
signally failed. In word, we have
been trying to clean the outside
rather than the inside. Jesus taught
that all character formation was eff
fected from within.
Not until we recognize His funda-
mental principles governing life shall
we witness any reformation that IL

One Cure for Evils.
If man has an evil propensity, or
if he is guilty of some form of indul-
gence that is destructive to the phys
ical as well as to the spiritual, there
is one process, and one process only.
by which a cure may be effected. and
that is through his own efforts, in
which prayer and self-discipline play
a major part. This is strikingly
brought out in Harold Begbie's recent
book, More Twice Born Men" The
book shows in very striking way
the supreme Importance of dealing
with men individually rather than in
the mass. ...' -
The season of Lent furnishes to
each one of US a large opportunity
for greater self-study and seIf-disci-
of the method of spiritual develop
ment which Jesus taught. 1t empha-
sizes again the value of prayer and
self discipline, and affords us an OPP

upon which Jesus insisted, and the
only one by and through which we
may realize the highest and truest
things of our spiritual nature. We
are too much concerned about the
shortcomings and weaknesses of our

attention to our own. We need to try
out In our own individual lives the
