According to some thoughtful
churchmen the opening of the Pana
ma canal is not only the greatest en
gineering enterprise ever undertaken
by men, but it is of immense mission
8i y significance, and is bringing be
fore the church anew missionary is
si e.
The “Spirit of Missions” says:
“The joining of the oceans will
bring the great southwest, much nearer
to oriental markets. There will be new
outlet*, and doubtless new demands
lor its corn, cotton and wheat. One
result is almost certain to be an in
creased population, and an increased
population always means new duties
and possibilities for the church.
“This is pre-eminently a day for con
flructive churchmanship. In the at
tempt to build worthily for God and
the nation in those parts of the coun
tiy directly affected by the Panama
canal, churchmen from east and west,
frcm north and south may well join
forces.”
Native Helpers in Korea.
“In former days in Korea, while she
was yet the Hermit nation, and be
fore the coming of the telegraph, there
was a system of signal lights used for
the purpose of sending any important
messages to or from the capital.
Tnese old signal fire altars are yet to
be seen on the tops of the high moun
tain peaks in many parts of the coun
try. Their fires are gone out, never to
be kindled again, but instead of them
the swift winged electric spark Is now
employed to flash the message from
place to place throughout the land,
and even from the Hermit nation to

tre ends of the earth. On many of
these mountain tops there are now
new altars erected -altars not visible
to mortal eyes—but nevertheless al
tars whose fires burn brighter and
whose rays shine further than those
fiom the signal altars of old. These
aie the altars of prayer which have
been erected in many instances by
faithful Korean helpers as they have
reached these mountain peaks on their
journeys in search for the lost sheep
for whom the Good Shepherd gave
Ills life.
“On one cold day in company with
tv o or three of these helpers. I was
making a visit to some of our work
vnen we came to a high mountain
pass over which we had to make our
way as best we could, the difficulty
being multiplied by the ice and snow;
the men being a little ahead of me
r< ached tbe top first, and turned aside
sc rest a little while I passed on down
tbe other side. I had not gone far
when I heard the men singing, and
knew that here an altar of prayer had
bt-en erected by these men as they
poured out their petition to the Great
Father above. On other occasions 1
have seen these helpers bowed in
p’-ayer on the mountain tops. These
??e the message fires that are now
warming and now lighting up this
poor frozen and darkened land.
“Theise helpers go where the mis
sionary has not time and strength to
go, and often where he would not be
received. So here I will repeat w’hat
I have said before, feeling that it can
rot bo rooeated too often: These help
ers are the men on whom we must
largely depend to preach the gospel
to this people.”
Unevangelized Japan.
Both Africa and India are better
evangelized than Japan, according to
Miss W. L. Park.
“The figures as furnished by an En
glish mission stands thus: In Africa
cne in every three hundred and sev
enty, in India one in every five hun
died and sixty, and in Japan one in
every six hundred are professing

Christians. Recent figures show that
there i3 a district in South Japan of
three million people without any
work, while there are hunderds of
towns with populations ranging from
f ve to ten thousand totally unreached
where the gospel is utterly unknown.”
“While figures are necessarily lim
ped in their scope even of presenting
tne truth. The urgent need of iinme
diate re-enforcement in Japan cannot
le expressed numerically. The need
of speedy evangelization of this coun
try lias a moral weight not to he com
puted in figures.”
Story of a Chinese Boy.
Rev. P. W. Hamlet tells the fallow
ing story:
“I was returning from a street chap
el in Soochow, where a series of evan
gelistic meetings were being conduct
ed by foreign and Chinese workers. A
boy about fifteen years of age came
i.;: behind me and said in a very ser
ious and anxious tone: ‘Mr. Who
(which is my Chinese name), can k
join the church? I have to work on
Sunday morning. Can I be a Christian
and come to church Sunday after
neon?’
“His voice and whole attitude showed
tiiat he was distress. As I looked into
the face of that dear boy my heart
was touched deeply. There was no
chnging beggarly ring about him
though his clothes were soiled and his
free was dirty. He walked down the
street with me. As we walked togeth
er I questioned him very closely. He
sold he had been attending the meet
ings every day and wanted to be a
Christian. He said: Mr. Who, I don’t
believe in these idols and burning of
paper to them. I want to be a Chri -
tian.’
“I urged him to trust Jesus and told
him as kindly and as sympathetically
of I could that Jesus wanted to save
him. I told him to go to the Chinese
pastor and tell him about the whole
matter. He promised me that he
would. That night he was hack at the
chapel, and after the service he came
me and said: ‘Mr. Who, I have seen
tne pastor, and he says it’s alright
row.’ His -whole countenance was
briming with a quiet joy and peace.
I saw under his arm a hymn book and
a Bible, which he had secured that
afiernoon.”
A Challenge to Occupy Thibet.
A woman of the Christian denomi
nation, who is especially interested
in the evangelization of Tibet, has is
sued a stirring challenge to the people
of her church in these words, which
appear in The Missionary Intelligen
cer:
“I do hereby convenant with my
Heavenly Father and with the mission
of the Foreign Christian Missionary
society in Tibet, to build churches and
chapels to the number of thirty as
| stations and out-stations are opened
in Tibet —in order that the last man
in all Tibet may be within teach of
the gospel.”
The denomination must provide th j
missionaries and build them homes.
jf this is done, six main stations and
twenty-four out-stations will have
churches and chapels, and Tibet may
be evengelized in this generation.
The Sabbath in China.
Under the new educational system
iu China the government schools give
holiday on Sunday. This makes it pos
sible for thousands of children to at
tend Sunday schools, which was not
possible under the old regime. Free
dom of thought and action though
faintly understood by the masses is
generally becoming a principle of the
new republic. It is generally taking
hold of the old and the young. Asa
result many who would not dare to
enter a Sunday school now come
gladly.
Until recently moct of the Christian
constituency have come from the il
literate adult population, and the ma
jority have been unable to read. Much
has been done in the past to meet the
needs of this class, first, by oral teach
ing, and second, by teaching them to
read the Colloquial Bible and hymn
book or some simple catechism. This
kind of work will be needed for a
long time to come.
Appeals From Egypt.
Avery urgent appeal for prayer
came recently from workers in Egypt.
In Cairo, besides nearly 700,000
Arabic speaking people, who are most
ly Moslems, these are 20,000 Jews,
10.000 Greeks, 13,000 Italians, 7,000
English, 5,000 French, 4,000 Austrians
end Germans, and 1,000 Russians. A
tent for prayer and evangelistic work
has been erected on Sharia Kasre-Nil,
beside the Savoy hotel.
Missionary Trees.
One missionary says: “I have es
tablished missionary trees all over
the country. A missionary tree is one
whose profits go entirely to missions.
Cne farmer has an apple tree in his
orchard that goes to help Chinese mis
sions. A woman in Florida has an
orange tree that helps to uplift the
cannibals of New Guinea. A Califor
nia nut grower devotes a walnut tree
to the spread of Christianity in Zanzi
bar.”
A CHILD’S LAXATIVE
IS “SYRUP OF FIGS”
They Love to Take it and it Doesn’t
Harm the Tender Little Stomach,
Liver and Bowels.
If your little one’s tongue is coated,
it is a sure sign the stomach, liver
and bowels need a gentle, thorough
Cleansing at once. When your child is
cross, peevish, listless, pale, doesn't
sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath
is bad, stomach sour, system full of
cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give
a teasiroonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” and in a few hours all tin
ciogged-up, constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxative.”
Millions of mothers keep it handy be
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little given
to-day saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the battle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by “California Fig Syrup Com
pany.” Don’t be fooled!

Here’s one Emerson case:
M. A. Gravley, 110 Front St., Emer

from kidney trouble for over three
years. I had acute pains in the small
of my back and in my hips and was so
lame that it was hard for me to stoop
o;- arise after sitting for some time.
Alter -etiring my back often pained
so intensely that I couldn’t sleep. The
kmney secretions were irregular in
passage and contained sediment, re
sembling brick-dust. I tried plasters
and liniments and used a number of
remedies but nothing seemed to help
me. I was then told to take Doan’s
Kidney Pills and I procured a supply.
They helped me at once, regulating
tbe passages of the kidney secretions,
strengthening my back and driving

A farmer who was carrying an ex

of goods from me? I couid have saved
you the express and besides you would
have been patronizing a home store,
which helps pay the taxeg and build
up this locality.” With characteristic
Dankness, the farmer asked: “Why
don’t you patronize your home paper
and advertise? I read it and didn’t
know you had the goods I have here,
r.or do I ever see your name in the
paper inviting one to come to your
store.” —The Pomotropic.
