Really, there is nothing so dangerous as a big thing in a litte country. I am jooking for big men among you.

Dr. Harris delivered a short but feeling speech, which he direct- ed to Bishop Mcore. It was an appeal to bim to lend his great aid to the Japanese. The speaker dwelt at length on the work in Japan.
