He stands Dvith hands outstretched, with a look ... -"^f anxiety on his face and a note of A pathetic earnestness in his voice as he • V . fries out to the western world, "Come /*Jf|j)ver into China and help us." In ' Y *>rder to see this man youll need to be i7 f-eminded: * , First, that China is a land of many I people. Consider the size of the coun- * try. Place the map of China on that c of North America at the proper parallels of latitude and China will cover all of United States and extend out Into the Atlantic ocean to Porta Rico. x Jt will include the Gulf of Mexcio, . ' most of Mexico and a part of Central America. And then consider that this land is more thickly populated than these United States. The latest returns from this year's census gives us 105,000,000 population for U. S. The estimated population for China in 1910 was 331,188,000. In other words ten years ago China had a populationjover /. three times as great as the U. S. to- * day. The appeal of the modern Macedonia has back of it over 300 million voices. And youH remember in the second : place that China is a land of old civilization. While our forefathers were /roving as barbarians over the rough places of North Europe, eating soup : boiled with human flesh from the skull of the man they killed, China had already established a government in the V far East. About the time that the • prophets of the old testament were heralding the truths about a God who , .wanted not sacrifices, fasts and cere- 7- -monies, but truth, mercy and rightt>.>: eousness, about this time Confucius VILLAGE TRUSTEjBS * was teaching China his high moral 4 precepts and political principles. But i alas, that civilization that had high moral concepts and gave promise of ^ better things had not the religious , <? enthusiasm to enforce those concepts St: and degenerated into superstition and demon worship. The modern Macedona is a man who has waited : these two thousand years to be told about the Christ. But further you must remember that China is a land of need. With a population over three times as large v as ours to feed, China has practically no farm machinery, no horses or - beasts of burden, no modern manu- " facturing, no developed commerce. On the other hand she has to fight the rivers that often flood the country and cause famine and take the v- risks of light rainfalls in large acres & of the country. Superstition has forbid them to tap the great resources of their mines of coal, iron, gold and , silver lest they disturb the spirits of ancestors, so that in the winter millions actually go cold. Tonight millions of people will lie down on the ground without a roof to cover -their heads and without food to sustain their bodies. The modern Macedonian is a man in need. 7- But he is in need of more than feed and raiment. He needs a teacher as well. If I walk down the streets of McHenry at least nine out of every ten people I meet over ten years of age can at least sign their own nifties and read the morning paper. But if I walk down the streets of a Chinese village about one out of the ten can do this. Ninety per Cent of the people are illiterate. We sometimes think it difficult to promote our government and bring about reform with ninety per cent of our people educated. But consider the difficulties of reform when only ten per cent can read. China has fashioned her government and school system after the U. S. model, but she needs one million school teachers today to make that system effective. The modern Macedonia has back of him over three hundred million people crying out to the United States for school teachers. And again he asks for doctors, i-V China is sick today because of ignorance. The sick person of China is be- Ueved to possess a demon. Hence he is sent away from home into a desert place. In America if one should be afflicted with typhoid fever he is given a comfortable bed, a nurse and the best of medical care. But in China this is the trofctment he receives: Taken to a hill, the medicine man is called. He takes sharp scewers or needles and punches into the patient to let the demons out. He knows about four hundred places in the human body that can be punctured without mortal injury. If this is not successful live coals are laid on the head or applied to the back •; And during this time all kinds of noise is made to drive away the de- . mons. Bat strange to say the demon does not leave until the man dies. resources a land of great opportunity and the modern Macedonia calling come over and help us realise our wealth. Again this land of opportunity is seen in the personal traits of the people. The Chinese are the Anglo Saxons of Asia. They are people of great endurance in labor, working often sixteen hours a day. They are a people of intelligence and native ability and genius. They are a people of optimism and cheerfulness and thru centuries of living in crowded conditions they have been trained to work together in organizations. With these traits of personal life and the immense natural resources China is the land of opportunity. Now having in mind all that has been said about the challenge of China recall the world wideness of Christianity. Recall how Jesus ministered not only to people of his native land, but to a woman at a well tho a despised Samaritan, to a leper in the way tho a foreigner, to a syraphoenician tho outside the borders of Israel, to Greeks who came in the last hours of his life saying, "Sirs we would see Jesus." Recall that last great incident of his life on earth. He. went to the Mount of Olives and there before him stood the disciples and followers He lifted up his hands and gave them this last great command: "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations." And if I mistake not this includes China, who stands with hands outstretched beseeching "Come over and help us." Recall if you will that whenever this command has been carried out great results have followed. Wher ever the Christian gospel has gone in the world the poor have been fed, the ignorant have been taught, the sick have been healed, the world has been benefitted, and my faith is that when the cross of Calvary is preached in China these results will follow. Why China? Because it is a land of many people; because it is a land of old civilization needing the quickening power of Christian morality; because it is a land of need asking food; a land of ignorance asking teachers; a land of sickness asking doctors; a land of great opportunities awaiting Christian leadership. And in the light of these things the Christian gospel says: "Go! make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28-19) and it is the Chris tians' responsibility and privilege to go as an ambassador of the King Eternal. "Proclaim to every people, tongue and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is love; -- Tell how He stooped to save hi* lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above." "Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious And all thou spendeat Jesus will repay. Publish glad tidings! Tidings of peace-- Tidings of Jesus-- Redemption and release." Round and Square By H. F. C. Business men of today pride them selves on giving their patrons a square deal. There is a real principle at stake. All sides are equal and each angle is equal to the other and the four angles make a perfect circle. The Bell telephone system encircles the United States and the hundreds of thousands of people working in the system believe in giving the public square deal. The telephone business has four sides to it. Subscribers, rates, s<&vice and help. Inside the square there are four angles. Stockholders, bondholders, div idends and loan interst, so that the telephone system is both round and square. Skilled help depends upon satisfying wages. Service comes from efficient help. Subscribers make both possible. But without adequate rates the square becomes lopsided and all fall together. Stockholders and bondholders look at the revenue from their angle. Div idends may or may not be--uncertain ty--loans are refused and so the angles get out of plumb. The telephone system today requires levelling up. It requires an adjust ment in rates to make the workers and the service round and efficient and be able to look the stockholders and the public, who loon it money, squarely in the face.

They came here for two purposes, one to gain liberty, the other to make a living. Inasmuch as there is but one great and main source of livelihood, one foundation upon which all other industries rest, these people turned to that one source, mother earth, for from the earth alone could they obtain their physical needs. It was indeed a meagre and scarce living they secured, yet it was enough for themselves and it was well that the world did not depend upon them for their food. There were many reasons why their crops, such as they were, should be small. First, much of the land had to be cleared before a blade of grass could be turned; second and most impor tant, the tools and implements with which they had to work were of the very crudest type. The good old spade and hoe were much in evidence, the yoke and oxen, the wooden plow the old log. roller and sowing seed by hand was the only method known. The cutting of the grain was laborious job, the cycle and a strong arm being the only implements re quired. The grain was threshed by means of a flail and such a thing as a silo was unknown. But as the old saying goes, "Neees sity is the mother of invention." More people came to this great land of ours Not all of them wanted to "till" the soil, some of them wanted to be the blacksmith, others wished to keep the village store. Regardless of the vo cation which they chose and regard less of the number of people who continued to come to this country, they had to be fed. Thus the same proposition of increasing production faced the farmer of old as it faces the farmer of today. The farmer of olden days had just two ways in which he could increase his production. One was to work harder, put in more hours, and the other was to change his type of implements. The last mentioned plan was the one adopted It is a well known fact that in former years the farmer's day did not consist of union hours and in many instances this is still true. Yet the demand on the farmer for more foodstuffs had to be met and it was met, by improving the tools and implements of the times to meet the requirements. For many years the fanner was his own inventor, making much of his own machinery and improving when ever an idea entered his head. As time moved on, however, the business of farming and manufacturing of ma chinery grew to be a burden. It is true saying that man cannot do two things and do them well. When this point was reached, some individuals who called themselves implement manufacturers, began to build farm machinery, taking their ideas from the farmer, returning the farmers ideas as near as possible in the form of a farm machine and collecting their after year has rolled by, as the de mands upon the producer of foodstuffs have grown, the machinery used by these producers has been improved until today we have our gang plows, our double discs, gang harrows and drags, drills for every grain, .nowers, binders, threshing machines, ensilage cutters, manure spreaders and culti-packers, and still with all these the wheels of progress continue to turn, and the time has come when the horse on the farm to a large extent must be replaced. Next week's article will contain the first tractor to the present day type. "rtie Broad View" By H. F. C. " s ' It is the little things that count in these days. The little things that perhaps slip by the average observer during trying times. But they exist just the same. / For instance, scattered around over the suburban territory of the Chicago Telephone company are dozens of small telephone exchanges. Some very small, in fact, tiny would better describe them. The amount of business done in these dozens of small and tiny exchanges would not fill a fair sized pill box and the profit requires microscope to find it. But this continuous chain of dozens of tiny, small and large exchanges make the big system and provides the same facilities for local aiyi long distance as can be obtained in the biggest city. In maintaining a telephone system rater, are adjusted to equitably fit conditions. If a representative of one of the largest telephone users in the biggest city required service in one of the smallest exchanges in the merest hamlet, the telephone system has anticipated the need. It is there in a tiny exchange. In order to maintain this chain system of exchanges and provide facilities and pay help, an adjustment of rates is necessary. It is the little things that count. A little willingness by every subscriber to agree to an adjustment in rates and the big, broad telephone system can be upheld for public service. .
