In Far Away China. By A Wayfarer. As you have long since heard, first mayor of Canton City, witl two million or more inhabitan the largest city on the confinen Asia-is a clean, sensible, progi ive, attractive Christian Chinese \ tleman, a graduate of one of ?big American universities, and 1 several years of post-graduate v to his credit. Like his mother, he his wife are members of the Mi Baptist church. Mayor Sun and his wife live in part of Conton City known as T Shan meaning "East Hill." Here Tung Shan, a great and growing burb has grown up around our E tist compound (campus). We Am ican Southern Baptist missiona] were the first to settle here, hav moved from our cramped quart further in the city, so that our w could expand. And how it has panded! With rickshas, and now e^ automobiles, running past our doc and on through the crowded and mi 'crowded thoroughfares of the i tropolis. Tung Shan that a dos years ago was well outside of 1 city, is now a most important p; of the city's life; and right in 1 center of things are our Baptist th? logical seminary, boys' and gil academies and feeders of iov grade down to kindergarten and 1 ble and training schools, schools i the blind, and orphanage, with abc fifteen hundred students-a bu Baptist campus. Then right here Tung Shan are the Baptist hospil for these two Southern provine (states) and the China Baptist Pu lication Society for all China. He millions of pages of Christian 1 erature in the Chinese language a printed every month, from the Ne Testament down to the simplest she tracts. Here, from all over Sou China, come our Baptist brethren ai sisters and their sons and daughte to be trained for kingdom work an in increasing numbers, come the sii for healing. Here at Tung Shan n?eet almo every year the Baptist Associate of South China, and an Associate within that, of the Baptists of a larf territory. Here meets annually tl Woman's Missionary Union of Soul China, and also our Bible Woman Conference. Here, three times a yes we hold our preachers' institute. Tl commencements of the differei schools take up more than a week t the end of every spring term. 0) this is a busy place, and it is alwa\ a busy time. Here at Tung Shan live our Ba] tist mayor and his wife. I coul throw a stone from our yar into his-but I never do! Instead c that, he sends me regularly the Ne-? York Independent and other Amer can publications of the best typ< and I always send him in return Th Baptist Courier or the Christian Ir dex or some other religious peri?dica or book. He finished reading th copy of Trumbull's "Anthony Com stock" (which my wife gave me fo a Christmas present) a few days be fore his city government issued th' first warning I have ever seen in : Chinese newspaper against obscem pictures and printed matter. He ha just finished reading also a book oi Christianity and Reform, given m< by our erstwhile mayor of Charles ton, S. C., Maj. T. T. Hyde-the may or of Canton, China, reading a bool from the mayor of Charleston, S. C -both Baptists. At the South Carolina State Con vention in Bennettsville, I had th< pleasure of introducing a brillianl young Chinese gentleman, born anc educated in New York, whom I hac helped to ordain to the Baptist minis try in Canton. As I mentioned in s letter some time ago, our friend. Rev, Frank W. Lee, is pastor of a church here in the city, president of oui boys' acadamy, editor of a dally newspaper that stands for the right, and Commissioner for Foreign Af fairs of this province (state) of. thir ty million people! I could throw a stone from our yard into his yard un til he bought his new house just be yond the mayor's, but instead he and I also exchange papers every day, and last night I attended, in his home a meeting of our Tung Shun town council, which consists of seven mem bers, elected* annually by the citi zens. One of the members is usually a member of our mission-it happens to be this wayfarer just now-and the other six are all Chinese Baptists, all ordained* preachers or officers in our hospital or our boys' academy, or -active in some form ot our worX here. Was there ever suoh an opportunity for missionaries of the cross, foreign and native? What would he have thought, in ; 1807, when Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China land ed in Canton? What would he have thought when I. J. Roberts, ordained in my home church in Edgefield, S. C., came as the first Baptist mission ary to Canton, in 1844? What would Dr. R. H. Graves have thought, and Dr. Simmons, and Dr. Greene, who have all died within the past ten years? Is there anything that we here and you there should not be willing to do to make all Canton and all China what we hope Tung Shan is destined soon to be?-not only a center of Christian life and light, but wholly Christs.-Baptist Courier.

Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost quality. Nothing is too good for Camels. They are as good as it's possible to make a cigarette. Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the same high, exclusive standard. You can always depend on the same mellow-mild refreshing smoothness-the taste and rich flavor of choicest tobaccos-and entire freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. 'And remember this! Camels come in one size package only-20 cigarettes-just the right size to make the greatest saving in production and packing. This saving goes straight into Camel Quality. That's one reason why you can get Camel Quality at so moderate a price. Here's another. We put no useless frills on the Camel package. No "extra wrappers!" Nothing just for show! Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And their added cost must go onto the price or come out of the quality. One thing, and only one, is responsible for Camels great and growing popularity -that is CAMEL QUALITY R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO, Wins ton -S ale. n, N. C.
