The "boy poet," as he was called, was borer in Bristol, Nov. 20, 1752, and died by his own act, Aug. 24, 1770. The only monument to his memory, other than that embodied in the literary storehouse of English, is to be found in the unconsecrated portion of the ground surrounding the chureh of St. Mary Redcliff, Bristol, just inside A DYING EXAMPLE. Yet One That Will Live Forever, Youth's Companion One of the unlovely traits of the Chinese is their willingness to let a neighbor suffer without help. Their conception of charity is wholly selfish, a mere means of "acquiring merit." A street crowd in China will watch a man die on the highway, and apparently enjoy hearing the death-rattle in his throat. If a man falls in the water, his companions make no attempt to rescue him; his desperate efforts to swim to shore (uswally unsuccessful, since few Chinese can swim) ard, by the on- lookers, considered a huge joke. "Look out for number one" is carried to full lengths in China. Green With such a background, the recent death of two American young men, Yale graduates, in China is suggestive of severa! considerations. W. B. Sea- bury, a master of arts, was one of the staff of the "New Yale" established at Changsha, China, a ChriStian misgsion- ary enterprise, by the undergraduates and alumni of Yale University. His friend and collegemate, Rev. . Mann, was a teacher in St. John's College, Shanghai, the famous institu. tion maintained by the Protestant Epis. copal church. One morning five young American college men set out for a day's ramble. On the way they sought a pool where it was reported they could have a plunge; the party divided to search for it. r. Seabury ascended a rock which sloped to the water's edge, over a ten foot waterfall. Rain had made the rock slippery, Seabury lost his balarice and slid into the water. He was carried over the fall, into a whirlpool below. A companion called: Mann was below, caught a glimpse of his friend strug- ling and plunged into Seabury's rescue ut the strong arms of the whirlpoo! were too powerful for him also. They Werg,Jratn out of sight, and drowned "What a dreadful loss!" cry the wide circle of friends who knew the gifts and promise of these two noble young men, representative of the flower of educated.

Not far away, but in the portion oi the ground sanctified by the ceremonies of the church, lie the bodies of his mother and sister. The mother was stricken with a lingering and pain- ful dliness upon hearing of her boy's poverty, disappointment, and self-des- truction. Above are sketched the church and the lodging in old Brooke street, Holborn, London, where Chatterton closed his career in desperation. but his work was good and lasting. Though he labored for twenty-nine years at his great task he did not live to see its completion. He died in 1203, and King John sent for a French Pontife, named Isembert, who had built the bridges of Saintes and La Rochelle, and he finished the work in 1209. Life Never Dull. In the early days of the Uganda rail- way, when wild animals had not learned the fear of man, life on the line was interesting. In 1903, the traffic manager at Mombasa received from the baboo station raster at Simba a telegram nmrarked Murgent" ; "Lion is on platform. Please instruct these two friends had ac- guard and driver to proceed carefully, and without sigpal in yard. Guard to advise passengers not to get out here, and be careful when coming into book- ing office." Fhis advice appeared to be super- fluous. However, one bold sportsman did get out, and by ascending a tree, mranaged to shoot a lion and a lioness. He also wounded another lion, the one waiting on the platform. This lion, after being wounded, disappeared and could not be found; so the sportsman went along the siding to look for him He found him suddenly, and had an ex- citing rough and tumble, Later in"the day the station master received another message from the same agent. "One African injured again by a lion. Send cartridges by next train, certain." And later from the same man this: "Switch- man surrounded by two lions, and went on top of telegraph post near water tanks. Train to stop there and take him on train" But it is not only big game that an- noyed, for on a later day he sent this' bulletin: "Rats running about, eating holes in ceiling and biting off switch- man's toes. Send rat traps." Historic Byplay. With quaint ceremony, 'conducted in the belfry of an ancient parish church, the freemen of Brightlingsea, England, elected one of their number recently to serve as deputy to the Mayor of Sandwich, with which town Brightling- sea is connected as a limb of the Cinque Ports. ~Freémen of Brightlingsea are, by an ancient charter, exempt from jury service in Essex, and residents in Brightlingsea who are not "free-born" are called upon to 'pay eleven pennies and find sureties before they can enjoy the privileges of freemen. Sepred as their Teacher and Model -- "Greater love Hath no man than this, that ® man lay down his life for his friends,"=it is to be questioned whether A. 8. Mann has not made a more wer- ful contribution to China's uplift than he could have done by decades of teach- ng and preaching. Ake the rest of the world, China is more powerfully affected by example than by precept. The hefoism of this young missionary teacher is a direct challenge to the age-entrenched selfish- ness of the Chinese. It is"a better argument for the "Jesus way" than volumes of apologetics, since now, as two thousand years ago, the basis of the gospel is un life freely poured out for others. Of Mann it will be true, dur. ing many of these years wherein young China is coming to consciousness and power, that "he, being dead, yet speak- eth, " Ancient Bridge Chapels. The frequent erection in England of a small chapel upon 3 bridge was quite in harmony with its religious character. The bridge was thereby placed under the protection of a patron saint, and a convenient spot provided where pilgrims might pray for their safety as they trav- elled to some favorite shrine. Some of 'tof wood suitable for the redoubtable Ottery St. Mary, the Clavering St. Mary of Thackeray's "Pendennis," keeps up a quaint yuletide custom. On Christ- mas eve the bellman took his stand near the vicarage, and as the clock struck midnight be rang his handbell three times and no more. After this he repeated four lines about the Native ity, and then in a loud voice proclaimed the hour and the state of the weather in the manner of the ancient watch. men. Then, with friends and com- anions, he paraded the town, ringing is bell frequently, and accepting hospi- tality in the way of refreshment. "Militant Church. The Bishop of Southwell, while pre- senting prizes at the Betchworth range. fiear Reigate, emphasized the value of rifle shooting as a factor of national defence. The church in the old days had its share in this duty, for it is recorded thut in the thirteenth century "the mayor of London kept a select body of armed men always ready to muster, fully ory on the tolling of St. Paul's bell" Sunday afternoons after church service were reserved for shooting at the. butts in the days of archery, and there was a common cus- tom of keeping the parish guns in the churches. Necessaries for the supply of the army were exposed in the church- rds for sale. Yew-irees were ordered BP royal command to be grown in churchyards, so as to ensure a supply long-bows ef the archers.

When we look around the world, and use that God-like iniglect that the Crea- tor has given us, it is casy for any in- teliigent man to understana the part he is tofphay in the great scheme of Chris- tianity's regeneration of the world What we need is nat more grand thurch- ATURDAY, MARCH 14, es reared up in the name of Christ, not more eloquent preachers to go forth and repeat over and over the story of the Christ, but we need more men and wo- men to live the life of Christ in a world of sin. When you look around and sce based humanity, and the poor, weak, miserable men and women, dragged on in the vortex of vice, your own intelli- gence will tell you what we need is sym- pathy, is charity, is love--more of the Christ-like spirit in everyday life. I do not mean your religion at arm's lengtii-- your charity and sighs and groans and tears. No! I mean hand-tn-hand fellow- ship. IT mean that kind of Christianity, that kind of love, that kind of brother- hood that will clothe the little children, will get food for the hungry, medicine forthe sick, that will find a job for the poor man who has a big family to sup- port. But more than all that, Lyman part, I mean that kind of religion that can go down into the guiter, into the mire and the dirt of the world, and raise up the poor sinner bound in the slavery of hell, the poor creature chained down in the strength of his own passions. Do you not kriow that underneath that rag- ged coat, behing that bloated face, there 15 a soul--a soul in the image and the likeness of the Eternal God !--a soul that Jesus so loved that He hung for three mortal hours upon the cross, and even tonight He is standing before the throne of the Eternal Father, praying: 'Father, 1908. ¥ : --. entertained anywhere else, and it that I may not lose even one of these, My little ones! Raise him up for Christ's sake. ------ A Great Preacher. It is told of Rev. George Whitefield, of the Church of England, that from the outset of his career his congregations were completely carried away. He preached his first sermon in Gloucester Cathedral in 1756, and the effect was astonishing. The vehemience and earn- estness of his oratory deeply moved the audience, and five persons were driven mad with fear and excitement, Com- plaints were made to the bishop, but he, good man, gave no heed to them. sim- ply hoping the madness would last until next Sunday. It was not the mobile crowd merely that went to hear Whitefield: "Fine gentlemen like Chesterficld and cool sceptics like - Bolingbroke were among his auditors; while actors followed him to learn the secret of his marvelous voice." It is recorded that in London his success was immediate. The doors of the church were besieged before the dawn. The unlighted streets were fill- ed, with persons carrying lanterns, making their way to the place of wor- ship many hours before the service. Among the Scottish congregations the preacher was equally successful, and the corporations of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Aberdeen admitted him to citizenship. Whitefield was a born orator. Frahk- lin says, "His unrivalled effects as a preacher were due to his great powers of realizing his subject and to his his- trionic 'genius, aided by -a fascinating voice of great compass, and aydible at immense distances."
