Missionaries are not invited by the Chinese. They go there as spiritual invaders of the country, to break up 2 tem of religion on which civil government is four It may be a bad system, but it suits the Chinese. To the < it 1s that missionaries ought to respect the rights eir own form of the religious idea, and that would be best presented to them in its compassionate features, its patience, charity and long suffering.

Not many years ago nerican missionaries seized a Chinese child because in play .he had hit the fence of their compound with a stone. They took him inside and locked the door. His parents came pleading for the res- toration of their child. The foolish missionaries refused. Then a mob gathered, tore down the compound, recovered the child and burned the buildings. No lives were lost, but our Government, un- justly, forced China to pay a high price for the destroyed property. ere agnin‘ was need of the saving grace of common sense, just as necessary for a missionary as piety.

It is easy to go with the current. It is easy to give way to témptation. It takes | moral fiber to tell the truth and to turn down temptation. Take lying, for instance. A man can make himself believe that a lie can be told with good in- tentions, that there 1s such a thing as a “lle of necessity.,” Once a man ad- mits that to himself he is subtly, pois- onously deceived. The bellef gets into And the practice is a boom- er: It reacts on the man's life. It Wi Somebody has aid that even God cannot afford to lie in order that good may come. And what God Almighty cannot do a man had better not try. A man deserves no credit for mak- ing a living. He deserves great credit for making a life. The only thing on earth any man has a right to be proud of is his char- acter. It represents something. It stands for striving, deprivation, clenched teeth, will power—the labor of Hercules.—Milwaukee Journal. NOT HIGH FINANCIERS. George Ade was listening gravely to a compliment.
