And when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls, at last,
Where they need no star to guide, '

WORLD MISSIONS
Cheerful Givers
Turning the leaves of a missionary
magazine, women and Missions, we
lately found two little incidents,
which we long to share„ with all.
They were not connected in any way,
exc4pt that in both of them there
breather 'the sweet fragrance of hap-
py and self -forgetful giving.
One is the story of Ngo, a West
African woman; who turned away
from all wrong things in her life to
begin -She ' adventure with Jesus. Al-
though a mature woman, she entered
a girls' school so that he might
learn to read and know something of
the rules of a Christian life. She
was very poor and in great need of a
dress. But it was the hard days af-
ter the war, and even a plain white
dress cost raoney. So Ngo was a
long while gathering the funds. She
raised chickens, sold food, worked
hard; and at long last the money was
in her hand, and the white dress her
own:ns
The following day was "Offering
Sunday," which comes once a month
in African churches, and the mission-
ary friend wondered if in her desire
for a dress Ngo had forgotten her of-
fering,
"Ngo Ngimbus," she asked, "have
you money for your envelope to -mor-
row?"
"Mam," resporided Ngo, "the day
that Ngo Ngimbus' envelope doesn't
go to church you may know that Ngo
is dead."
The other incident is related by a
secretary for missionary education. •
She was reading a book asshe trav-
elled down town in a New York sub-
way, when she suddenly realized that
the shabby elderly woman beside her,
was trying to look on. The secre-
tary asked her if she had read the
book. The woman said she had nut,
but that she knew Miss Jean Mac-
kenzie who.was a missionary in Afri-
ca, and the book was about that
country.
"Miss Mackenzie is the writer of
this book," answered`, the secretary,
"where did you, meet her?"
n "I did not know Miss Jean wrote
books," said the woman. "I' used to
be scrubwoman in the Presbyterian
Building and many times when Miss
Jeari was working late she would
speaa to me in the hall."
From sucha beginning came a
uniqUe little mission study class with
this woman and a few others like her,
which lasted terree weeks. They met
at the socretary's house. Of the
group two were Jews, two were Ro-
•laan Cetholic, and three were Pro-
tentants. At the last session there
Were. refreshments, •and befote they
parted the secretary could see that
there was a matter to be settled.
Finally one .of them said: "You have
told us of so many places, not • only
in' Africa, but in this country, too,
,where good deeds are done, that we
want to give .a little to help on.
Wma't you send this envelope to
Point Barrow fir the little ones?
We have picked up most of these
pennies on the office floors as we
cleaned,' and we want them to do some
good." -From The Missionary Month-

SNOW ON ROAD COST
MILLIONS
Preliminary reports indicate that
more than 160,000 miles of main trav-
elled highways in the thirty-six
States in the snow belt will be kept
open and free from snow during the
present winter, according, to the Am-
erican Automobile Association.
Approximately $6,500,000 will be
expended by States and counties for
this extensive programme, but it will
mean a saving of millionof dollars
and return great economic benefits.
It is estimated that every $100 „spent
in snow removal yields $1,000 in mere
efficient transportation„ and business
continuity. On this basis the States,
counties and municipalities keeping
the roads and streets open for travel
will reap an economic benelfit, in ex-
cess of $65,000,000.
"Vv -hen it is considered that 75 per
cent. of the nation's population,"or
90,000,00G people a're dependent
largely upon the open road," says the
AsA.A., "the value of, snow removal
to commerce alone is t:remendous. It
is now estimated that inadequate
snow removal cauges a loss to the na-
tion's business in a single -winter of
$500,000,000. There are at the pres-
ent time practically 70 per cent. of
the nations registered motor vehicles
in the snow belt. This means that
on a basis of 17,150,000 motor vehicles
registered, with an average value of
an inyestmennuf more than
$17,000,000,000 in thengnow States a-
lone is dependent upon keeping high-
ways open for winter travel."

The United Staten which claims,

half what Canada provides for sus-
tenance for its convicted law -breakers.
This is one of the things that is
bothering Lewis E. Lawns, who is
just completing ten years as Warden

TUNNEY TS A PRIZE FIGHTER
WHO HA 6 READ A FEW BOOKS,
Arising his glass to a group of
American newspaper correspondents
in a restaurant in Berlin, Gene Tun-
rey recently drank to a better under-
standing between himself and the
press, which is surprising, because the
whole trouble between Mr. Innney
and the press arose from the fact that
the press understood him toewell for
his peace of mind. Moreover, Mr.
\t
Tunney thel,„..oughly und'erstood the
press, realizin to his constant dismay
that there were no romantic ilhisions
about hits i n any newspaper office, in
the land, least of all irk the sport de-
partments, through which he had to
transmit his appeal to, the b•oblie.

reporters: "Ah, yes, that fellow, I re-
member him now; I employed him- ifs.
a menial capacity." He realized' with:a'
a pang that the only thing which dis-
tinguished him from the common ruin
of people was his prominence as au
prize-fighter. He had intellect eponghs
to know that ne was no scholar anda
that at least fifty per cent. of the,
sport writers whom he would have'
patronized had done more reading ins
Shakespeare and the philosophers an&
what not than he had, but made no:.
boast of their reading, because it ha&
all come in the regular order -of the--
business of education and life to- them_
He did his bragging about his reading:
in a subtle negative way. For on
reason he realized that his eruditiorst
was remarkable only in a prize -4
fighter, and he wished he might have -
been a great man on some other count -
Reference to his intellect only remind-
ed him that he was that cultural freak
the prize-fighter who had read a book_
Then he was always rtaining into un-
obtrusive, thoughtful gents from thee
papers whoa had outread him but let
him pi -stale on, strutting his intellect,
so to speak, and then went awaY,-
amused as .by the proud babble of to -
child' who entertains guests by spell-
ing ax, ox and if.
Another obstacle in Mr. Tunneyae
way to the position he yearned to oc-
cupy was his own poor faith in hiss
own power as a prize-fighter. If len,
couldn't even' dominate the professions,
which he pretended to despise, them
there would be nothing at all tcr' dis-
tinguish him. 'So when a man under--
took to rob Dempsey at Philadelphhv
and sell him the heavyweight cham-
pionship far a price, Tunney signeiT
a contract which was a confession or
weakness' that must have hurt him ins
his inmost gelf. Long afterward he'
admitted that if he had been hurt -ins.
the Philadelphia fight, a doctor woulcal
have jumped' into the rang to certifsi-
that he had been fouled and ewer&
him the title.
Now, if Tunney had not made such't.
a pretense of superior principle this -
sort of thing would have occasionedf
no .public reaction at all. It was as'
typical deal of the prize fight racket,L.'„
and the customers for more than 2Cto
years had known that such dealings
were characteristic of the business -
But a man is known by his dealings,,.and when Tunney's deal with Boo Boo*
Hoff was exposed he became just a-
prize-figbter after all - the prize-
fighter who had read a book.
He shouldn't revive discussion of.
himself by drinking to a better under-
standing between himself ,a-nd thee
He press. might better have &main
to en illusion between Gene Tanneys
and those who understood him tow
vsell.
