dear friend and brother.

DEATH OF HISS NELLIE RANKIN OF
CHUNJU, KOREA.
A cablegram received on August
12th from Chunju, Korea, announced
the death of Miss Nellie Rankin, a
member of that station, after a short
illness. Miss Rankin went to the Held
in 1907. She acquired the language
with unusual rapidity, and has been for
the past two years engaged in school
work at Chunju. She has not only
been most efficient in this work, but
has also been one of the most active
and efficient workers among the ladies
of tbe Korean Mission in visiting among
the groups of Christians that have
been gathered at various points conHininiia

them to understand the word of God.
The life which she laid upon the altar
when she took up this work has been
an eminently beautiful one. Her letters
were always remarkable for the bright
and cheery tone that characterized
them. Her loss will be very deeply
felt, and the place which she has left
vacant will be difficult to supply.
To her family and to her numerous
frl-rnds In the home land we extend our
heart-felt sympathy.

"How are the Mighty Fallen."
How are the mighty fallen!
How have the mighty stood,
Through all life's siege of battle,
Courageous, strong and good!
On the tiring line In armor,
Forged from the Royal Word,
With the shield of faith grasped firmly,
And a heart with zeal deep stirred.
How are the mighty fallen!
How arc the mighty here,
Still leading the line of conflict,
Still filliag our hearts with cheer.
A prince has advanced before us,
To report to the Mighty King,
To tell of His marshalled forces,
The tidings our Lord to bring.
.-Miu we, ?aai 01 us woo linger?
The perspective his contour shows
More plainly than when among us?
Yet none but his Master knows
The greatness, the truth and the honor,
The unselfishness and the worth,
His lofty conception of duty?
One of the greatest of earth!
Gone! gone? Oh, no, he is with us,
His dearest still holds hiB life?
From earliest manhood it shines forth?
Shared, equalled, crowned by his Wife.
Who draws back the vail so sacred,
Shading his home from view,
Where his life mid devoted children
Only their own hearts knew?
A line of noble ancestry,
He hands down to each one,
And something higher than lineage
The wondrous work he has done.
And a last act was the lifting
Of heart and hand to his God,
To dedicate his young grandson?
Newborn?to his Holy Lord!
His namesake?to grasp the banner
And bear it as bravely on,*
With two of the name he's to follow
In the path the Grandslre has gone.
His heart, like the heart of his Master,
With love to man o'erflowed,
And when and where It was needed
Some kindness he bestowed.
We turn from the home?and a mighty
Throne mmoo Q 1 r?n<r fha mow
-WW?
Of those he has helped and encouraged
To meet their lives day by day!
Of those he has taught the standards
Of Righteousness and of Truth,
Battalion after battalion
Of older men, middle aged, youth.
And the Church at large flies a pennon
Higher and stronger far,
Because he lived to proclaim it?
The Truth?no unfalth can mar.
How are the mighty fallen!
Ah no, a Prince still lives,
As we follow in his footsteps?
God to us like armor gives!
His life is a spur to conquest,
A vivid present good,
We take his faith as our guerdon
And stand where he has stood. _
With his latest breath he declared it:
"I die defending the Faith!"
And he passed to the glory effulgent,
Where Christ for his Church ever
prayeth.
God grant that his mantle descending
As he mounts in chariot of fire,
May fall upon us lowly bending,
Our lives with new power to Inspire.
Virginia Breckinridge Bates, Chicago.
The presence of Christ may become
the atmosphere of our life. The sense
of his presence may be cultivated. He
will thus become a Host In the home,
reshaping its usage until by and by it
will take on the shape of his personality.
He will effect one's social communion,
conversation, prevailing spirit,
business transactions, guiding, deciding,
making a new standard by which
all will be measured and controlled.?

Christ Child."

QUIET WORKING.
ChriBt's lowly, quiet workers unconsciously
bless the world. They come
out every morning from the presence
of GGod, and go to their business or
their household work. And all day long
they toil, they drop gentle words from
their lips, and scatter little seeds of
kindness about them, and tomorrow
flowers of God spring up in the dusty
streets of earth, and along the hard path
of toil on which their feet tread. More
than once in the Scriptures the lives of
God's people in the world are compared
in their influence to the dew. It falls
suenuy ana imperceptiDiy. it makes
no noise; no one hears it dropping, but
it covers the leaves with clusters of
pearls.?Selected.
I hold this thing to be grandly true,
That a noble deed is a step toward
God,
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To a purer air and a broader view.
