4 8AM LOCKE, Cashier,
An Enjoyable Celebration at Ris
ing Sun Church.
A representative of the Message
spent last Sunday with the good
people of Rising Sun Christian
Church, near the electric railway,
six miles north of Mexico. The
site of the church is a most com
manding one it is on a great ele
vation, a bank of Salt River, the
building facing the east. You can
catch the first glimpse of the ris
ing sun at thut point, hence, we
suppose, the suggestion ot the
name, Rising Sun.
And, too, as we have often said
before in these columns, the sun
does not shine upon a better peo
ple that live in that community.
They are a church people, a Bible
school people, and thev stand for
anything else that tends toward
the moral uplift and general good
of all.
But this was Children's Day.
and, with that fine dinner in pros
pect, they drew an audience, too.
There were 217 persons in the
Sunday school that morning, a
record-breaking attendance for
any country church. Is there a
country church in Audrain that
can beat that record? We doubt,
in fact, if there is a church in the
State that can go ahead of that.
Here's the record of the classes
last Sunday morning: Sunbeams,
Mrs. C. M. Pox, teacher, 29 pres
ent, collection, $2.17, Bibles m

present, collection, $17.23, ten Bi

for the day amoimtcil I" lt'-.
Every family brought dinner
and at the noon hour there was a
general spread and all were invit
ed to come, eat and be tilled,
"without money end without
price." Old-time hospitality was
in full sway on every hand.
Rev. A. V. Tay lor, of Columbia,
is the faithful pastor of this
church, lie was present and gave
several most interesting talks, lie
brought with him from Columbia
Mr. If. K. Ton-,', of Shanghai. Chi
na, who graduated from the Mis
souri University this spring and
who talked in the afternoon on
Christian Activity in China. Mr.
Tong is a native of China. Learn
ed soniethinv of the rudiments of
the. English language in the mis
sionary schools in China and then
came to this country to complete
his education. He spent three
years at Park College, near Kan
sas City, and this last year, as we
have said, at the University. lie
will take n post-graduate course in
some Eastern college and then
will go back to bis home country
to engage in newspaper work.
He is a bright young fellow and
made a fine speech. He says there
is a heathen temple in every vil
lage in China, which in these
awakening times in China are be
ing nsed as school houses. The
farmers in China use oxen to pull
their plows and cultivate their
fields, but they are rapidly learn
ing the ways of the American
farmer. The historyof 'China be
gan J.000 years heiore i nrisi
was born. It takes 700 vol
umes of books to record it. But a
few months ago his country put
away oldish things and she is now
a baby republic. She is progress
ing rapidly in new things. She
has many things to overcome,
however. The leaders of thought
are skeptical and hostile to all for
eigners except, the missionaries:
the people almost worship the
missionaries as idols. The leaders
realize the potentiality of the
Christian religion, and this all
promises great and good things.
The Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation in China is accomplishing
a great work. This organization
knows 110 denominational lines.
and it gives it great advantage. It
is working for the church uni
versal.
Rev. Taylor preaches for the
Rising Sun people the second and
fourth Sundays in each month.
He boasts that he has the best
country missionary church in the
State. He puts C. M. Fox up as
the livest wire for a Sunday school
superintendent you can find any
where.
