Death and anguish of body an<

months, despite the most sympathiz

gate suffering and lower the deat!
rate by contributing the smalles
tithe of their possessions. One dolla

That warm-hearted readers ma
appreciate, as far as possible at thi
distance, conditions that amaze th
onlooker and call forth his deepes
sympathy, I append extracts from th
: most recent letter of William T. Ellis
a trustworthy and capable corre
spondent of the Christian Herald, o:
the "spot. Mr. Ellis writes after ;
tour through a camp of 30,000 starv
ing refugees, and later will tell o
other greater camps where the'con
ditions are worse than those he por
trays:
"Little more than an ?bour ago
saw two women, presumably mothe
and grandmother, wailing over th
, tiny coffin of a child^hat had bee:
part of grim famin^|Aily toil.
"It Is all so so overpow
lug, so hauntio^K heartrending
that one cannot wrire of it in an or
derly fashion. It seems as if onl
the repeated cry of 'Help! Help
Help!' can be fashioned for the ear
of the prosperous American people
to whom God has given a year o
plenty, while the poor of China per
ish from want.
"Out of the awful mass of sufferin:
a succession of individual picture
come trooping before my visior
There was the man, too weak to stan

brothers carry babies in China, hi

they must wait in the cold for ar

aside and steal their turn at th

"Strange incongruities flash int

NESE. ?
i- of a home abandoned; of toilsome
i- journeys to this southern district in
the hope of finding a pittance of food
to allay that awful gnawing of hund
ger; of the eager hunt for a sheltered
r nook in a doorway; of being driven
from sp&t to spot until at last a few
[- feet of bare earth are secured out
b. among the graves with the other
t refugees?a space no bigger than a
r Chinese grave suffices for an entire
family; of the daily and nightly hudy
dling together in one mass for the
s sake of human warmth; of the search
e for dry grass with which to make a
t tiny fire; of the morning struggle for
e a portion of the government rice and
!, of that indescribable, terrible, primi(
tive duel between life and starvation
a which the Chinese so dauntlessly en
a dure.
"In all this, I write of the best, and
f not of the worst. This is only the
- first outpost of the famine district."
Speaking of the causes of the famine?already
comparatively well
I known in this country?Mr, Ellis
r says:
e "Heavy summer rains, the overa
flowing of the banks of all streams
and of the Grand Canal, simply flood
ed the country and made of promising
rice and grain fields only a desert
- waste of water. The crops were uty
terly ruined. It is of interest that in
! this section of China wheat and maize
s as well as rice are grown; that is why
;, cornmeal and flour, the former even
f the more acceptable of the two, is
- the popular form of relief. The Chinese
live closer to. actual starvation
g than it is possible for a Westerner to
s comprehend; they are always poor,
i. So the failure of the crops?not to
d mention the destruction of their
r homes by flood?at once placed them
s in a state of actual destitution wmcn
1- can only be relieved when the wheat
y crop is harvested in July. Meane
while, owing to lack of seed, only half
e of the spring wheat crop has been
h planted."
There are stories of cannibalism
d too grewsome to write. Suffice It
h that horror is piled upon horror's
r head in Kianpeh until the call for
g outside help is as imperative as it is
o justified.
e These sufferers, under ordinary
g conditions, are frugal, cleanly, hond
est, hardworking. They can wring a
y mere livelihood from their petty fields
sv in the best of times by the hardest
i- kind of work and in the mass are
y noted for morality and decency of
i, life. Already the Christian Herald,

Subject: Christ's
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on the theme, "Christ's Agony and
Ours." the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson,
pastor, took as his text Luke
13:34, "Arid yfe would not." He
said:
The lamentation of Jesus over the
City of Jerusalem was occasioned by
His clear vision of "the depth of her
need, of the completeness of her rejection
of Himself and tbe revelation
of and from the Father that He
brought, and by His firm conviction
that disdain for His Gospel meant
death for herself. Feeling in His
inmost heart that His was the truth
that could save the city of His people
from its sin; knowing, as He did,
that He was the long-heralded Messiah
who should lead His countrymen
into the liberty of that life within
Jehovah which should satisfy their
- - * " -1 - TT*
souis; ana experiencing, ?s ne uau, i
the .temper of the minds of the ecclesiastical
and clerical leaders of
the synagogues, Jesus was sick at
heart over the spiritual doom that
was sure to overtake His people. To
Jesus sin was the most awful, the
most terrifying, jtlie most fearful
thing in the world. For Him the
word "sin" summed up, short and
quick, all those agencies which were
anti-Godly and which led men far
from the Father. Sin meant destruction,
disapproval in the eyes of God,
and its wages were the seeds of
death. The Gospel, on the other
hand, held for Jesus the kernel and
the conclusion of all those forces that
should gain men life eternal and the
full, enthusiastic favor of the King,
their Guide. Being born again of
God and entering into the freedom
of the spiritual life divine, Jesus conceived
these men, His brethren, as
obtaining deliverance from eternal
death.
With this philosophy and this vision
of the need and the issue?both
of which Jesus had direct from God
?is it any wonder that He wept over
the City of Jerusalem? Sin is death.
Jtfy Gospel is the way of sure salvation?the
6nly way?and the true
guide unto life that is eternal. Thus
reasons Jesus. These men are bound
4*k aw/1 eln Unw crl 9 H1V Wrtllld
I teach to them those spiritual truths
that should save'them, but they will
not. Sin is their choice, separation
from the Father is their self-willed
death. Do you wonder why the Savior
suffered unto bitter agony and
tears? His was the wide and comprehensive
view of the world, its sin,
its need, its salvation, its denial, its
destruction. Any smaller or less
comprehending insighD would have
been of none avail. A '~reat, limitless,
universal understanding of the
situation as it was?and is?was the
one means to stir the soul of the
Christ to its depths. A weaker man
with a smaller horizon would have
become discouraged or disgusted. A
big man, full of heart and grit, with
the richness of God's love flooding all
his being, was the only one who could
mourn. Jesus wept?not from disgust,
or discouragement, but because
His whole soul yearned to lead His
dying brethren into life for evermore.
The weight of their guilt, the cer'
tainty of their dying, the uselessness
and the wickedness of it all came
upon the ^oul of Christ with resistless
force and wrung His heart in
agony.
And now, beloved, this lesson from
the life of our Lord points a threefold
duty for each of us. The acceptance
by us of this triple obligation
which the agony of the Master calls
to our attention, will prove to the
world about us that our Christ wept
not in vain. And the duties three
are these: First, we must be convicted
of the awfulness of that sin whose
logical outcome is death. Secondly,
we must have an experimental and
distinct knowledge that the only sure
salvation from this death-dealing sin
is through Jesus Christ. Thirdly, we
must, with weeping hearts, go forth
into the world as living evangels to
preach to all mankind salvation from
this deathly sin through Jesus Christ j
our Lord.
The awfulness of sin is a byword |
rather than a belief among men to-'
day. In our earnest and quite legitimate
endeavor to publish the glory
of the love of God for the sinner, we
have lost to a great extent our consciousness
and our former denunciation
of the hideousness of sin. In
our endeavor to escape from the unreasonable
curse of a bodily hell we
have, many of us, rushed to the other
extreme?that is to say, no hell at
all. In our earnest preaching of the
love of God toward the sinner we
have become, I fear, too lenient with
6in. My friends, the love of God is
a reality. The punishment and the
death of man brings no joy to the
Father's heart. Jehovah wants every
man to live witliin the light of His
countenance of love. To the end that
we might have life and that more
abundantly He sent His Son our Savior
to reveal Himself to us. But sin
i is always hateful to God. His whole
nature shrinks from it, as should our
natures, as from a thing unclean. He
; can have no communion with it?nor
should we. Its, pleasures are dead
fruit,, its enjoyments are transient
' and a mockery, its wages is death.
Mnrhan ^vnprience haa nroved this
* to be so, and the word of the living
God sustains the charge. Sin is
death. In strict union within God is
life. Sin and God can have no commerce.
Where sin is, God cannot be.
Where the Father is, sin is eclipsed,
for with Him there is no evil, but
only the fullness of eternal life. Sin
is death. Death is the lack of life.
The ruddy apple drops from the leafy,
living bough and dies. The seeds of
quick consumption strike the human
heart and death ensues. In each case
+>.o oiamont nf ripstrnctirm has en
tered. And as with the physical, so
with the spiritual.
Godliness is life. Life is union
with the principle of life. The dainty
apple-blossom holds closely to the
budding branch and soon we pluck
the sound and luscious, wholesome
fruit. The life that seems so near
the brink of death's dark stream, the
heart that weakly beats, the blood
that boils at fever heat, all seize upon
the remedies that cure, and health
and healing vigor rush through the
weakened frame. In each case the
, principle of life has been at work.
As with the natural, so with the
spiritual.
i Ah, yes, beloved, sin is bondage,
death, disgrace, unprofitable. Godi
liness is great gain and it will surely
bring contentment. Sin is distance
from God and there is no worse death
[ or hell. Jesus leads us nearer

life and the best. But sin Is ueath
and the sooner the world finds it out
and we Christians really realize its
awfulness the better for us and the
world..
, This sin, however, is susceptible of
defeat. Our lives may be freed from
its power and made victorious, above
its strength. The means are not
various, nor is the way hard. There
is but one means and one true and
happy way. That means and that
way Jesus has revealed. Coming to
Him for healing we may find easement-for
our souls. Trust in Him
will gain release from evil. A whole
me spent in ms service win reap
a rich reward. His is the only gospel
that contains the truth entirq.
His is the one' salvation that our
spirits need. His is the gift of life
forever unto all who hear, believe
and live for Him. Being certain
that sin is death, we must preach to
men the way to life through Jesus
Christ our Lord. The trouble with
much of our testimony is that we are
a little shaky on our own foundations
and that too much of our testimony
is from the mouth out and is
not welling up from hearts that have
tasted of the joys of the Christblessed
life. Too much of our knowledge
of spiritual truths comes to us
at second-hand and too little arises
from the depths of personal experience.
Our ideas must be cut clear
as to what is the state and the
future of men who are continuing in
sin. We must feel that Jesus is the
need and the Savior of other men, as
He has been the need and the Savior
of each of us. We must get that
vision of the world which shall make
us weep as did our Lord, which shall
make us say with Paul, "Woe is me
if I preach not the Gospel."
Ah, yes, beloved, we must, with
weeping hearts go forth to lead men
up to God. If sin is death and we
possess and know the way to life
everlasting, we must not rest until
tve, too, have brought some brother
home to safety. I say we must. I
cannot say we may. Our orders read
"go thou," not "won't you please go."
Christ pleads with the sinner, but
His word is law, and so It should
be, to those who are His.
Come with me into the busy street
on any working-day, or to any ^audy
concert-hall on sunny Sabbath days,
and I will show you why you should
weep and work. There they are!
heedless, unhearing, uncaring, bound
more intent to make money or to
while the hours away than to save
their immortal souls. Young and
old, rich and poor, hardened sinners
and youths who are just entering the
road to death?each of them, all of
them, caring little, and thinking less
of the awfulness of their sin and the
outcome of their shame. Good men
who are wise in everything but their
conceptions of their need of Christ.
Pure men who will come to Jesus
if so be some one will only put them
to the test. Leaders in the church
who profess the Christ, but who mis[
represent Him. A weary, heavyladen
host ? and we can lift
the crushing weight of sin. Look at
them and consider. Is it any wonder
now that Jesus wept? Ah, beloved,
we ought to weep?weep like Jesus
because men are dying right before,
our eyes, within reach of our hands;
weep?weep unlikfe Jesus because we
are unworthy servants of our Master,
because we are recreant to our
duty and our trust.
My friends, men who sin are

in the life and saves. To each of us
the question of our God comes clear
and strong to-day as it came to Isaiah
the prophet in the year that King
Uzziah died, "Whom shall I send and
who will go for us." Will you refuse
the Father or will you say with
Isaiah, "Here am I, send me."
The Piety of Usefulness.
Someone once said to Cromwell:
"You, sire, know well the usefulness
of piety!" 'I know something better,"
Cromwell replied, "the piety
of usefulness." The phrase works
both ways. Piety is useful, and usefulness
is a function or activity of
piety. If it is meant that simply to
be busy is to be religious, a subtle
terror lurks in the remark of Cromwell.
But if the meaning is that
the piety demanded by the age is not
a self-engrossed religiousness which
dwells apart in reflective unconcern,
but the practical kind of faith that is
busy in the King's business, an Important
truth is thus brought to bur
notice.
The God We Need.
One of the great events of Elijah'6
ministry was the trial of gods?as to
whether Baal or Jehovah was the
true God. Baal's prophets prayed
long. But no fire fell. Elijah prayed
and the answer (Same at once. The
test of Carmel is being repeated every
day in thousands of places on the
earth. Burdened ones are praying,
and God in Heaven is hearing and
giving answer. Blessings are dropping
out of the skies upon the needy,
suffering lives, in response to their
earnest, faith-filled pleading. The
God who answers prayers is the God
we all need.
The Master's Pupils.
We should be very glad that we
are Christ's disciples, says J. R. Miller.
When students of music or of
art spend a time witn some great
composer or master in Europe, they
are very proud, when they come
home, to announce themselves as his
pupils. They put it on their advertisements
and announcements and on
their professional cards. We should
regard it as a high honor to tell people
that we are pupils of Christ's;
that we have learned of Him how to
live.
The Soul's Greatest Need.
Rest is the deepest want in the
soul of man. All men do not desire
pleasure; all men do not crave intellectual
food; but all men long foi
rest. It is the need which sometimes
makes the quiet of the grave an ob
JGCX 01 aeep uesire. mere me weaiji
are at rest. And it is this which,
consciously or unconsciously, is the
real wish that lies at the bottom oi
all others.
The Chnrch's Duty.
Part of the Church's duty Is tc

won to Christ; to care for theii

When Every One is Beautlfnl.
It has been said in cold print that
men and women are. growing more
and more beautiful, and that the progress
of, civilization, the better understanding
of the laws of health, is
to bring a time when all of us wiil be
of absolutely perfect beauty ? or,
rather not us. but our ultimate re
mote descendants. It is a little difficult
to feel envy, hatred and malice
for one's descendants, but this news
is enough to induce that evil state of
mind. However, the prospect affects
one writer quite otherwise. "After
all," says he, "our lovely descendants
will pot have so gay a time. For if
every one is good looking, what on
earth is the good of being good looking?
So, after all, there are some
advantages in living nowadays. Few
of us have no dear friends uglier
than ourselves. What is the use of
a friend if she is not a little?well,
plain?
The 2000 Osages in Oklahoma are
the richest community on the face of
the globe, and they are getting richer.'

.{Women Avoid
Operations
When a woman suffering from
female trouble is told that an operation
is necessary, it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital,
the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an ope'
ration is the only resource, but a
great many women have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after an operation has
been decided upon as the only cure,
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come fr
