TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1010. I WILL DIE FOK HIM." Church Missionary News. Miss Sibyl Carter tells this inter esting story of a little Chinese boy. She says: ( "One of my friends won a whole family to love and serve God through teaching a boy twelve years old. He came to her, starving, in one of the dreadful famines. She gave him rice for several days. When he became a little stronger, she began to tell him of our God, who tells us to be kind 'one to another;' and day by day she saw he was more attentive to her teaching. At last he said: 'Your God is the God; but if I pray to him. my people will persecute me.' "She told him how much Jesus had suffered to save us from sinful lives, and showed him a picture of some martyrs who were being burn ed at the stake for love of ChrUt, telling him that in all lands people bad been willing to suffer even death for the knowledge of so good a Sav iour. "He looked long, and finally he eaid: 'I love your God, and will die for him If be will only love me.' "Time passed. The boy, from be ing wild and rough in his ways, be came so gentle and lovable that all were surprised. At last a time came for the teachers to rest, and he went home into the back country to visit his family. "They were very angry when he would not worship the Idols; but he stood firm. They gave him his food on a dish with the dogs; still he would not yield. Then he told his mother of the suffering Jesus and of the martyrs, telling her he had seen the picture; and she became so in terested that she said she would go to see the picture, and if it were true, she would hear more of the lie religion. "The poor woman actually walk ed forty miles to see the picture, and she was so much pleased with all the leaching that in a few months she and the family of seven others were taught about God, received him as their God, and have since stood the fitorm of persecution as did the boy." Now, will you not help with lar ger gifts for foreign missions this year than ever before, as there are jo many who need our help? THE IMMIGRANT AND THE BIBLE The Christian City. In appealing for larger funds for the work of the New York Bible So ciety, Dr. George W. Carter. Its Sec retary, writes: More than 450.000 immigrants hare landed at Ellis Island during the last six months, and each one who wished It was given a copy of the Scriptures In his own language by missionaries of the New York Bi ble Society. This work is strictly Bonsectarian. so that all persons re gardless or creed can nnlte in supply ing these strangers with the Bible by contributing to the society, t Thousands of sailors on Vessels of all nations In onr harbor haTe also A Deeper And MORRIS BROTHER been visited by the missionaries of the Society. There are more than three hun dred pastors in Manhattan and Bronx and a larger number of mis sionaries and other workers who vis it the needy In home, hospitals, pris ons, and other institutions. Many of them cannot afford to pay for the Scriptures that they distribute in their daily visiting, and some of these workers have been freely sup plied by the New York Bible Society. The Society has distributed near ly 90,000 volumes of Scriptures In thirty-seven languages during the last six months in the city and har bor of New York. The Increased population demands Increased funds in order that the incoming multi tudes may be supplied with the Scriptures. The Society wishes to do a larger work In Bible distribution than has ever been attempted, and will do it as soon as the money is provided. Unless the Society has help, many worthy appeals for Scriptures will be refused. KEEPING BY GIVING. This strange paradox is true, says Bishop Williams in "A Valid Chris tianity for To-Day." You can keep your Christianity only by giving it away. The spring on the hillside can continue to be a spring the clear, singing fountain of refresh ment only as It gives its waters away freely to the thirsty land be low. The moment it ceases to do that, the moment it dams up Its wa ters and becomes self-contained, that moment it ceases to be a spring. It becomes a swamp, a stagnant morass, from which you can get only malaria and mosquitoes. Your window Is a window only so long as it transmits freely to the darkened room the glory of the sun light that smites it from without. The moment It ceases to do that, the moment it begins to absorb or re flect the light, that moment it prac tically ceases to be glass, and be comes as dead and opaque as a sheet of lead. So the Christian man or Christian Church that ceases to transmit the grace and truth of the gospel, "the light of the glory of God that hath shioed in our hearts in the face of Jesus Christ" that is, the man or Church that is not missionary in character practically ceases to be Christian. LOST CHANCES. Life is made up of golden chances opportunities to do good. One lost is lost forever. If we miss doing a kindness to a playmate, we can nev er do that kindness again. If we might speak a pleasant word and we do not, we can never have Just that word to speak again. Every oppor tunity that passes' Is past forever. and takes with it something that cannot be called back. Our charac ter is either better or worse for ev ery chance of good we take or ne glect; and when we are grown, we win find that we cannot make our selves over, try as we wilL For this" reason we should watch for and carefully utilize every opportunity to do good. Unidentified. TO BUY DREDGES. County Commissioners of Mecklen burg, Cabarrus and Gaston to Con fer at Concord Today. Charlotte Observer, 23rd. For the purpose of taking part in a drainage conference to be held in Concord today by the commissioners of Gaston and Cabarrus counties, Chairman W. M. Long of the Meck lenburg board, accompanied by some of his associates, will journey in his motor car to that place this morning. The conference is of much Inter est to the people of the three coun ties named. It baB aa its ultimate object the co-operative purchases of two dredges to be used in straight ening the streams of this section, flowing through these counties. The courses of many of these vary greatly In the bottom lands from season to season and pursue a wind ing, meandering course. It is de sired to remedy this. That Is the end sought by this conference which will consider ways and means. Since many of the streams traverse two or more of the trio of counties, the value of co-operation Is clearly ap parent. The problem of securing better drainage is one which from now on will demand and receive more and more attention from the county fa thers of Gaston, Cabarrus and Meck lenburg. Hence the significance of today's meeting. MOUNTAIN ISLAND NEWS. Correspondence of The Gazette. MOUNTAIN ISLAND. Aug. 20. Mr. and ;Mrs. R. E. McKelvey, of Mt Holly, are visiting relatives here.

There is a blessing in defeat in that it often calls out resources that success would never develop, and thus enable one to do a great er work. NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE. There's a cheery little proverb It is very well to heed In a world where pain and sorrow Are quite plentiful indeed. If you would not have them double, Then keep this well in view: To never trouble trouble Until trouble troubles you. Don't think that when storm clouds gather You are certain to be drowned; The very darkest tempest May quickly blow around. And up above the blackness Shines evermore the blue; So never trouble trouble Until trouble troubles you. ' Ofttlmes a gloomy morning Precedes a sunny day; So, without word of warning. Our trials slip away. What pangs we oft have suffered . From ills we never knewl So never trouble trouble - Until trouble troubles you... Quit counting all the bridges Yon may never have to cross. Quit climbing all the ridges Of future pain and loss. Trudge on and do your duty, . To God and conscience true; And never trouble trouble Until trouble troubles yon. ANNA R. HENDERSON. BBS JAPAN ANNEXES KOREA. The Romantic "Hermit" Kingdom Limes Its Identity Dynasty of S18 Years Ends Heads of . the Seven Branches of the Ruling Family Will be Made Princes of Japanese Kingdom. Tokio, Aug. 21. Within a week the "Hermit Kingdom" and the Em pire of Korea will become historical terms, twelve millions of people will be added to the population of Japan and territory as large as England will become part of the Japanese I Emperor's dominions. The treaty of Portsmouth which settled the war between Japan and Russia provides that Japan shall have the "guidance, protection and control" of Korea and the last stage of this agreement is now becoming an actuality after three years of experimenting to dis cover a practical method for con serving the national entity- of the Korean peninsula. The Privy Council of Japan today was summoned to meet at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and this is regarded by well-informed per sons as practically the signal to complete the negotiations between Lieutenant General Terauchl, the Japanese resident general in Korea, and the Emperor of Korea and his cabinet, which have continued for full week. While the negotiations are shroud ed in absolute official silence, there no longer can be any doubt that the Korean Emperor has agree to sign a convention by which, in view of the untenable conditions pertaining he and his government and people consent to the absolute control of Korea by the Emperor and govern ment of Japan. Tonight extra editions of " the newspapers say the convention al ready has been signed, but whether or not this be so some, announcement i.j expected shortly after the meet ing tomorrow of the Privy Council This probably will include the offie ial proclamation of the conclusion of the convention of annexation unless all the prognostications of well-in formed persons are incorrect. The YI dynasty In Korea has last ed for 518 years, seven branches of the family remain, and the heads of these will be given ranks as princes. A number of other Korean officials will be elevated to the Japanese no bility. , Throughout the negotiations the mass of the Koreans have been kept in entire Ignorance of what has been transpiring. The newspaper censor ship Is complete and Japanese news papers have not been permitted to be sold In Korea. It is not believed, however, that annexation by Japan wiil Involve disturbances in any section of Korea which is thoroughly policed. Lola Mill Re-Organfzed.
