in China and of how those difficul-i
lies are surmounted.
Difficulties in the Way.
Pride, ignorance, poverty, and the)
fact that embracing the Christian re
ligion means often facing starvation
were among the difficulties mention-}
ed by Mrs. Van Dyke. The peopie re
sent the invasion of business men who
c.xpioit the oguntry. ^ They have a
coiossai pride in their history, and
that is a wall it is hard to scale. The
barrier of ignorance is one of the
worst. Very few of the men can

Prem hennia' P^ciod.
Following Mrs. Van Dyke's instruc
tive talk, Mr. Van Dyke preacned a
forceful sermon in which he set up by
means of Scripture references and
history & strong argument to the ef
fect that this is the premillennial per
iod and that the church can Waaten or
retard the dawn. From words of
Jesus in various passages tho preach
er pointed out that the world is now
in the darkness of night. During the
time when Jesus was on earth the
world whs in the iight of tlod's Son.
Following the crucifixion the night
**+ in kM* i rrTstts iM there was
aet in,
't^''__-__
tion and hope. When Conatantine
became a Christian and Christianity
became popular, there followed the
darkness of the Dark Ages, compar
able to the second of the four watches
of the night to which Jesus referred
in one piece, as the first twilight cor
responded to ti& first watch. Then
there was the third, or cock-cr owing
watch, when Luther and Wyckliff and
Knox sounded aiarms that waked the
world. Now, said the preacher, is
the period between the third and
fourth watches. The recent world
war—worst of all wars—the recent
appalling disaster in Japgn, the poli
+;<**' unrest anuarent every*

the
ticai and social unrest apparent every
where, he said, point to the day when
Christ shail come again Looking
ttfwaid to a goMen &gc is one of the
difference retween Christian peoples
and heathen, who look backward to a
golden age in the past. By in
:reased efforts the chui h
fasten the coining day, he said.
Service for Children.
The special services held at
rabemacie Sunday afternoon at 3:30
)y Rev. and Mrs. Van Dyks proved
nost interesting to the o.ier people
ts well as to th echildren, for whom
he service was especially held,
rhe Tiger, Dragons, Heathen Gods.
Mrs. Van Dyke took up a short
ime at the beginning of the service
elling of the tiger, king of beasts,
he Chinese bound feet, the manner
in which Chinese eat and the idols
vhich are worshipped by the Chinese.
!he told very interestingly of the old
!iag of the dragon which was 4is*d as
i national flag before the -Country
was made a republic. The people sat
that time believed that there waai a
fearful dragon in the earth and one
in the air. They were afraid to dig
!ntn the around for fear of striking
the dragon and afraid to erect tele
graph or telephone poleg in the air for
the same reason She displayed an
article resembling the tiger, which
she explained was used for the child
ren's pillow, the parents using this
so that the children would get the
tiget spirit of being unconquerable.
Tiny shoes wOm by the women of
China were also showiA Where faith
in God has been instilled there is no
more cramping and binding of feet.
The door gods and banners used to
ward off sickness and ill fortune
were also shown.
One of the features of the service
was the singing of "Jesus Loves Me,
This I Know", in Chinese by Rev. and
Mrs. Van Dyke. Then they sang a
song composed by converted Chinese.
A Contradictory Country.
In beginning his talk, Dr. Van Dyke
said, "China is the most contradictory
country in the drorld", and explained
by saying that Shankhai was a real
city, very much resembling American

models which he had brought from

The Rrst requirement m any
motor car is, of course, re
liability of performance.
You cannot have foo^freaf
a decree of reliability in
the motor car you own.
We are stating a simple
truth especially well known
to garage mechanics when
we say that no car built
< today, whatever its price,
surpasses the Hupmobile in
this respect. . '
In the new Hupmobile,
this celebrated Hupmobile
attribute is earned to still
You can safely trust this
Hupmobile to carry you
across the town, or across
the continent at a moment's
notice, and with motor&ig
satisfaction unalloyed.
Fifteen minutes in the new
Hupmobile will convince
you that these fundamental
virtues which have always
been so pronounced in every
car bearing the name, have
been stiii further developed.
. ' **"'. " /
Note the coasting, skim*
ming quality,—the even
greater rapidity of accelera
tion,—the greater power.
In flexibility and smooth
ness of power propulsion,
this new Hupmobile sets
new high standards. This is
equally true of its ease of
riding, and its cOmfort.
Hupmobile engineers have
not veered a hair's breadth
from Hupmpbile principles.
They have simply applied
and extended those princi
ples with infinite care and
fidelity.
In this new Hupmobile, you
undoubtedly have the
highest expression of reli
able performance, joined
with brilliant, smooth per
formance, within several
hundreds of dollars of the
Hupmobile price.
