ISf you want to tell whetheaf or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank. A man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never In his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your ac­ tion, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's • stringing you." Long Time to Sweep. Everything, even a magnificent church, must be regarded from the point of view of the beholder.

Under the great dome one of them stood and gazed around her with an air of such wonder that a spectator might well suppose that she' was awestruck by her solemn surroundings.

Pyeng Yang, Korea.--To the trav­ eler in Korea, Pyeng, the second city in the empire, is notable as a boat-shaped city where the peo­ ple are afraid, to dig wells lest they should sink the city; and as the an­ cient capital of the nation where Keja who was Korea's Peter the Great, ruled about the time King David was on the throne of*Israel and Keja's grave and Keja's well are still preserved. To the religious world, Pyeng Yang is known as the center of the most remarkable missionary work now under way any­ where on the earth. Within 16 years a Christian con­ stituency of 6,000 persons, that is doubling itself annually, has been built up and in the surrounding country th^ number amounts to more than 25,000. As an instance of the way is which "the church grows may be mentioned the fact that the mother church of Pyeng Yang has swarmed three times within four years and yet retains a membership of 914 communicants and 334 catechumens. The church, which seats 1,200 persons on its floor --of course there are no pews or chairs--is crowded every Sunday. The attendance at the mid-week pray­ er meeting ranges from more than 700 to 1,200 or 1,300. The smallest of the congregations which have gone out from Central church numbers more than 250 members; the largest twice that many. Where Religion Has Introduced Qaths. All of these congregations are en­ tirely self-supporting, and they main­ tain several religious enterprises, such as day schools, colporteurs and a book store and library. They have estab­ lished a school for the blind, and have tion existing between the two mis­ sions. The missionaries are the only white people in Pyeng Yang, except one French tradesman and a French priest. Tb'elr social solidarity is as marked as the unity of their labors. The thr&e hospitals are run as one, although maintaining, in some re­ spects, their separate identity. The largest is the Presbyterian hospital, conducted by Dr. J. H. Wells, and min­ istering to about 10,0$© patients a year. Dr. E. D. Foil well, at the Meth­ odist hospital, treats about 9,000, and Dr. Hall, whose work is entirely for women, about 8,000 patients a year. Jointly, the two men doctors are train­ ing 22 students, who not only pay for their instruction, and for the privilege of working in the hospital, but are also required to do evangelistic work among the patients. One notable char­ acteristic of these hospitals, which are almost entirely self-supporting, is the adaptation to the Korean style of liv­ ing. While they have wards contain­ ing beds, most of their patients sleep on the floor, as in their own homes, and are there treated. Like Korean houses these wards have heated floors. Dr. Wells has been conspicuously suc­ cessful in curing the morphine habit, which the Japanese have introduced among the Koreans. Adaptation is one of the character­ istics of mission work in Pyeng Yang. Approaching the city, the visitor can­ not at first distinguish the missionary compounds from the native homes. AI1 the residences and the school build­ ings, and all except one of the churches (the Methodist), are built in native style. The interiors of the homes are naturally adapted to the A Missionary Home at Pyeng Yang, Korea. made the beginnings ot an Insane asylum, both the first of their kind la Korea. More significant than any ot these offshoots of the church, is the public bath house run by the Christians; for badly as it needs religion, Korea needs soap and water. I ask no further proof of the genuineness of the con­ version of these people than the fact of this bath house, with its four bath tubs and two shower baths--the latter made by up-tilted and perforated Standard oil cans. The full meaning of this institution can be appreciated only by one who has traveled in Korea. The three pioneers of this Pyeng Yang -work are still here, and -still young men. They arrived* 16 years ago, Rev. Dr. S. A'. Moffett, Rev. Gra­ ham Lee and Dr. J. Hunter Wells, of the northern Presbyterian board. They chanced to be men of large vis­ ion and statesmanlike mold, and so they laid broad foundations upon which the preseat phenomenal enter­ prise has-been rising. Following them at intervals came 17 other mission­ aries of the same denomination. Prior to the Presbyterian settlement, Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Hall, medical mission­ aries of the Northern Methodist church, were already in Pyeng Yang, but at the death of Dr. Hall in 1894 .the Methodists withdrew for a time, but later they re-established and BOW have missionaries in the field, and two thriving churches in the city proper, as well as their country work. I found Mrs. Noble, wife of a Methodist missionary, teaching the bible one week day morning to a clasB of more than a hundred women and girls, who had come in from the country for that purpose. Mrs. Hail, who is a physi­ cian, has since returned and conducts a hospital for women, which, however, burned down a few weeks ago. An Extraordinary Prayer Meeting. What may safely be called the most remarkable midweek prayer meeting in the world is that which I attended in the big church in Pyeng Yang. The building is L-shaped and divided into halves by wooden partitions at the angle of the L. One side Is reserved for women and the other for men. The church is utterly devoid of furni­ ture, except rough straw mats on the floor. Into it were gathered on this Wednesday evening no less than 1,200 persons, men and boys, women and children, all seated upon the floor. The congregation was quiet, alert and reverent. At prayer they all bowed forward, with their heads to the ground. Missionary Lee led the music with a coronet, and the people sang lustily. Everybody carried a Bible and followed the Scripture read­ ing. The address was listened to with all the intentness and responsiveness that any speaker could desire. At its close the leaders and many of the other men crowded to the platform to speak with their beloved "Moksa," or pastor. It struck me that this Korean missionary, and many of his associ­ ates, have a work and an opportunity which the ablest preacher in America might covet.

Teaching the East to Hustle. The schools are cooperative. Be It understood that there is no public school system throughout Korea. Be­ fore the mi SoiOuai *65 I't&me, the higher class boys were taught the Chinese classics. The creation of the popular taste for learning, as well as the pro­ duction of most of the literature in the language of the plain people, may be credited to the missionaries. It is quite general for native churches to maintain primary schools for secular instruction. There are in this district at least three higher academies and the demand for education are by no means met. It is probable that the missionaries will soon have to forego all direct teaching and become super­ intendents of instruction. The strate­ gical importance to Christianity of thus having a controlling hand upon the education of the nation is appar­ ent at a glance. In Pyeng Yang proper are three noteworthy schools. One is the col­ lege, with 300 students, all of whom are Christians and all of whom pass a stiff entrance examination. This is taught by both Methodist and Presby­ terian missionaries and by native teachers. It is expected shortly to grow into a Christian college with a thousand students. There is also a girls' high school with half a.hundred students. I" was much struck with the industrial school attached to the college, where some Btudents work their way through an education. Here they have a genuine blacksmith shop, machine shop and carpenter shop, all of which are producing marketable wares. The machine shop, for in­ stance, is unable to supply the de­ mand for a certain braiding machine which It turns out The Industry and the skill shown by the student work­ men would seem to indicate unsus­ pected capabilities on the part of the Korean. This establishment more nearly resembled a bona fide work­ shop than any other Industrial school I recall. The manager ot this Industrial school Is Rev. Graham Lee, who seems to be a practical mechanic. In addi­ tion to running the industrial school he is the pastor of the largest church in Korea, and has charge of 40 country churches besides. L'ke Story-Book Missions. This suggests the country work that centers in Pyeng Yang, and one pecu­ liar phase of Korean missions. The church here is self-supporting. New churches spring up almost in a night, without ever having seen a missionary. The Korean Christians are trained to do personal work. Everyone is ex­ pected to be an evangelist, Thus it comes to pass, that, by the telling of the news from mouth to raouth, the number of believers spreads with greater rapidity than the missionary can follow. It seemB literally true here that the missionary cannot keep up with the work, much less lead it. A few days ago Dr. Wells and Dr. Sharrocks went to Wiju, a city north of here, which figured often in the war dispatches. En route they looked in upon some country congregations. The first night, in a little village of about 1,200 inhabitants, they found a prayer jBeetiDys magler the .rejp#*; Mi; week service, with no less i?wi> 700 persons present. This, be it remem­ bered, was In a village where no mis­ sionary resides, and where no wtiite man visits oftener than once a quarter. The next night they came, as unex­ pectedly as before, upon another vil­ lage prayer fleeting, with 600 persons in attendance. In these villages, as In many others round about, the vil­ lagers, Christian and non-Christian, J are in the habit of gathering in the church for morning prayers, before going out to the fields for work. It .seems as if religion has becoms the very life of these people. It is certainly their supreme interest and pleasure. They build their own churches, with their own hands. In­ deed the Christian communities throughout Korea probably come as near communism, in their simplicity and fraternity and cooperation, as any­ thing known in this present day. Ono Man Baptises Mora Than a Thou­ sand. From Wiju I hear a story that matches the famous incident of the delegation of Indians to St Louis, years ago, to sftek somebody to go back with them to teach them the whlto man's book. The Wiju Chris­ tians have built themselves a commo­ dious church and have now established an academy or higher school. Among them, however, was nobody qualified to conduct the latter. So at the an­ nual meeting of the Presbyterian mis­ sion a delegation was sent down from Wiju to Seoul to plead tor a mission­ ary. The people agreed not only to give him the heartiest of welcomes, and to pay all his expenses, but also to provide his salary as well. Yet they were sent back with their request de­ nied. There are not enough mission­ aries to -go around. Here in Korea there is no hunting up of people for the church; the peo­ ple are clamoring to come in. During the mission year just ended, one man in this region, Rev. C. E. Kearns, bap­ tised 1,100 Koreans. Yet it is not made easy for a Korean to" become a Chris­ tian. Careful 'always lest men audv women should desire to enter the church from unworthy motives, every applicant is obliged to become a cate­ chumen for at least one year. Then he must pass a rigid examination as to his character and his knowledge of Christian truth. The missionaries im­ pose what they say is the New Testa­ ment standard of conduct upon the people. Every Christian is required to be a total abstainer, to refrain from all forms of gambling, to observe Sun­ day strictly, and to have a clean char­ acter morally. An offending member is promptly disciplined. The Magistrate's Concubine. When it Is considered that these people are Just emerging from the raw heathenism and devil worship which prevails around them, these standards seem the more remarkable. The Korean Christians here go far­ ther than their fellows in America. In the "big church" of Pyeng Yang some of the members have formed an anti-tobacco society, for the Koreans, men and women, are confirmed smok­ ers. These people give the money they thus save to the church, and two colporteurs are so supported. No distinction is made among classes. In a village near here the magistrate, who ̂ is the chief resident official, desires to become a Christian. The local church leaders came to the missionary to ask what they should do, since this great man keeps a con­ cubine. The decision was immediate and decisive that he could not be ac­ cepted as a catechumen until he had conformed to the church's standard in all respects, no matter how high his office or how great bis wealth. It is said that, with respect to the percentage of gifts and with respect to the activity of the ordinary mem­ bers of the ehurches, Christianity in Korea is far ahead of Christianity in America. Certainly for ingenious, open-hearted, child-like Christianity, I have never seen anything to equal these Koreans. Their manner, their words and their work irresistably sug­ gest the church of the apostolic age. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Flunkyjsm Rebuked. An amusing story is told of how Princess Ludwig of Bavaria recently administered a fine rebuke to flunky- ism at Bremerhaven railway station. A servant in royal livery applied for the reservation of a compartment for his mistress, but when the train ar­ rived it was found that all the first? class compartments were filled save one, in which sat a jlainjy dressed old lady. The obsequious station master attempted to make the passen­ ger give up her seat so that royalty might travel alone, but the old lady objected. "I see no reason why she should come In here with me," she said. "I certainly shall not give up my place for any one." The station- master's angry voice brought Prin­ cess Ludwig of Bavaria to the car* rlage door and after Inquiring as to the cause of the excitement she ex­ claimed, "Do not be so ridiculous!

Recentlyf^a Country doctor ft the north of Ireland, a bachelor, who was locally noted for his brusqueness and irascibility, was driving along a nor- row lane, or "boreen," when his pas­ sage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the bog leading an ass whose panniers were filled with peats. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quickly enough to please the short-tempered doctor. "Faugh!" he exclaimed, with a snort of disgust. "Women and asses are always in the way." "I'm glad ye have the manners to put yourself lagt," said the old woman, calmly. The doctor drove on without another word. , Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces* sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of thrf>fabrlc is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear­ ing quality of the goods. This trou­ ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greats strength than other makes. For Better or Worse.
