I heard a pulpit demagogue move 1' laughter nnd hnnd-elappl „ .... with what he called u -presentation of the ward the people ged him. congrntu- the latter one hearer had been quoting to hftnself, “It Is better not to know so many tbluga than to know so mnuy things that are uot no.” The mail's missionary rac had be«n. to my peraouni knowledge, mostly gross and ludicrous misstatements.

All sorts of pleasant fiction has passed around an fncts, for the sake of the cause. Illustrations that Illustrate nothing hut religious gullibility nothing but religious gullibility are common, ns every reader of the church papers knows. Isolated Instances of missionary success arc magnified nntll they convey a meaning that Is equivalent to falsehood A few weeks ago n veteran Taking missionary wrote to the missionary mngnslne of his own denomi nation protesting against the misstatement In Its columns that t’hlna had ordered the movement trot nnd direction of Christianity.

Unquestionably, church Is not as conteinporaneons In her organization and ftistltntlona an tu her teachings. And a deal of this "cooServa tlsm” is called by another name when ex hlbtted by anrh na the ten spies who re ported to Moses. THE ORE AT OPPORTUNITY. The day of opportunity Is usually like wise the day of destiny. Kadenh-bnrncn was the opportunity of Israel; because It failed to measure up to that importunity It had to undergo a dcstluy of forty hard years In the wilderness—years filled with funerals, until every man who had reached iinturlty ere Kudesh-burnca was nttnlned jad been burled beneath the hospitable •oil of tho wilderness. Such wna the coat of being afraid. Ilut that la to anticipate. Jn order to -- - ascertain the resources nnd obstacles of the observance of blinds?. 8o loath was the that perhaps the news that he suggests missionary at Peking did not know no much about conditions there as did the man In Itoston. In the same cIsm Is the famous dent Harrison say that the members of his jsd died druukards-a cruel slander upon honorable and successful men which Prcsldeut Hnrrisou never uttered. This point might be enlarged upon to the extent of a column, hut It Is enough to say that there Is grave reason why all representa tives of religion should look well to their facte, after the manner and admonition of Moses. Entering Now Countries. One characteristic which tuarka the west ern porttou of North America tro~. ...v eastern Is the pioneering spirit of the for mer. It Is much on the move, change incr. ii is muen on tne more. Change does not affright lL Upon occasion It la willing to pull up stakes and start for a better country. The.oldest section of the l nlted Mates has l«een seriously afflicted with a contrary spirit. Now the pioneering people, as the pioneering Individual. Is great. Those old pilgrims and puritans had plenty of faults, hut we forget these In contemplation of their Imperial work. Cecil Rhodes was not easctly the sort of man to hold up ns a model to a thiuday school. but nobody can withhold admira tion for that splendidly courageous and audacious spirit which conceived In world- terms. Shortcomings those old Jews had In plenty, hut they were moving on to possess one for each tribe. Their reports us to the fertility of Canaan; ao also ns to thd obstacles. Only In tholr conclusions they differed radically. The ten were so Impressed by the grasshoppers and giants and walled cities that they reported ad versely. They are the kind who magnify obstacles, always able to give ten reasons for standing still. No doubt they were honest; their cantton nnd conservatism, however, were really cowardice. It was the fear within their own breaat* that con stltuted the greatest barrier to the posses slon of the promised land. Dread always la defeated. Cowardice conquers nothing. A heart of fear ta Ufe'a worst evil. There are giants on every bind for the person who la afraid. The temper amentally timid are never trustworthy. Those ten spies were a majority; hut It was a majority of cowarda. The great advances tumie by society are usually when sumo man hopelessly In the minority, like Colum bus, la scornfully gtveu his way.
