The distinctive
flavor of
The flavor of Coca-Cola is a com
posite of natural fruits so delicately
blended that the palate is unable to
; distinguish any one of the compo
nent parts ? the result is a distinc
? tive flavor.
The art of compounding flavors has be
come a science which requires a lifetime
to master. That is why it is so difficult to
imitate the distinctive flavor of Coca-Cola.
The slightest deviation from the delicate
balance of flavors reveals the imitation.
When you ask for Coca-Cola demand the
genuine by full name ? nicknames en

very little has been attempted, though
we have gone out to the nearby
churches. While in some of the Jap
anese papers, as I said, we mission
aries have been accused as being at
the bottom of all this, these state
ments have been taken back later,
and we have noticed no discourtesy
on the part of our Japanese friends,
nor have the Japanese people risen
against the Koreans, except possibly
in one or two instances, and it seems
in these cases that they were under
police orders, and were only aiding
the police in trying to keep order. It
seems a pity that the soldiers were
called in, for much unnecessary cru
elty followed, and many innocent by
standers suffered as much as, or more,
than those who were guilty.
Last Wednesday there occurred one
of the most dreadful accidents that
has ever happened out here. Dr. and
Mrs. Bell and Mr. Knox, of Kwangju,
and Mrs. P. S. Crane, of Mokpo, were
going from Seoul south in an auto
mobile owned by Dr. Bell, when they
were struck at a railway crossing and
Mrs. Bell and Mr. Crane were instant
ly killed, and Mr. Knox was badly
injured. In a statement in today's
Seoul Press, Dr. Bell explains that
they had ? been on the alert all the
morning for trains and had crossed
the track several times, but at this
particular crossing he was prevented
from seeing the train by a hood on
the left of an auto. It seems so ter
rible. Mrs. Bell was the sister of
Mr. Bull, of Kunsan, and leaves two
children, about twelve and five, re
spectively. Mrs. Crane is the daugh
ter of Mr. Rowland, and they had two
little babies, the oldest about three
years old. News from Seoul today
says that Mr. Knox is much better
and Dr. Bell was practically unhurt,
though the shock to him was neces
sarily very great. How our hearts do
go out in sympathy to the afflicted
families at this time! We cannot un
derstand why this should he allowed
to happen, but we know that God's
ways are not our ways, and we can
only turn to Him. At such times,
indeed, blessed is the man whose God
is the Lord.
We have written for reservation on
the S. S. "Nanking," leaving Yoko
hama on June the 19th, and hope to
be in San Francisco seventeen days
later. We will go to see my wife's
father, mother and sister at Los An
geles, and hope to come East later.
We both want to do studying while
at home, but have not definitely de
cided on our plans yet.
Do not forget to remember the work
here in your prayers. We do not for
get you there in the home land. May
God bless the labor in which each of
you is engaged.

A CHINAMAN'S CHKERFUI;
SACRIFICE.
It is a rare man among American
Christians who would be willing to
move out of his comfortable brick
residence and live in a dirt-floored
out-house in order that the former
might be used as a preaching plac6.
Yet that is exactly what was done by
Farmer Kong, a Christian of Siylen,
China. Rev. A. Y. Napier, a South
ern Baptist missionary, located at
Yanchow, tells the story:
"Farmer Kong invited Evangelist
Yang to be his guest and to preach
in his home. The farmer had a large
family and a small brick house, and
his home was crowded beyond capac
ity.
"Farmer Kong had some straw-cov
ered, mud-walled, dirt-floored houses
out on his farm near Siyien. He prob
ably reasoned like this: 'My brick
house is too small for both my fam
ily and a chapel. Siyien must have
the glad tidings. I can move out to
the farm and give my brick house to
the Dongtai church, to be used as a
chapel.' At any rate, that is what
he did. It was a beautiful sacrifice,
and Farmer Kong seemed unconscious
of having done anything."

Nothing negative . will preserve us
against the power of sin. We must
have something positive, and the only
positive power comes as we get close
to God. We cannot cure smallpox by
plaster or ointment on the face; we
must deal with the source and expel
the disease. And we will never deal
with sin in the life until we get the
power of God within, and so throw
off the disease, and expel the intruder.
This comes from being alone with
God. ? W. H. Griffith Thomas.

MRS. NANCY McCURDY ALEXAN
DER.
The Ladies' Missionary Society of
the Culpeper Presbyterian church
wishes to pay a loving tribute to the
memory of Mrs. Nancy McCurdy Alex
ander, who died September 12, 1918,
near Harrisburg, Pa., where she had
been spending the summer.
Mrs. Alexander, with her husband,
Rev. Hugh S. Alexander, moved to
this part of the country from Penn
sylvania fifty some yoprs ago. Mr.
Alexander, in connection with his
farm, conducted a school for boys un
til his death in 1 905.
Mrs. Alexander was a devoted wife,
a loyal friend, a kind and sympathetic
neighbor. She was a friend to the
stranger, ever ready to give a' helping
hand to those about her. and al-vays
interested in the Christian welfare ol
those with whom she came in contact.
She was a consecrated Christian, and
continued to be a member of the Cul
peper Presbyterian church until ner
death. In her death this society has
lost its oldest member, not only in
years, but as a member of this so
ciety. She was faithful and true to
the cause, always interested in any
thing pertaining to missions, cheer
fully and liberally giving of her mears
to the cause.
She showed her missionary spirit
by doing missionary work around her.
At one time she and her husband held
a Sunday school in their home for the
children of the neighborhood who
could not attend the town school. She
also did missionary work among the
colored people of her neighborhood.
It can truly be said of her, "Though
dead, she yet speaketh."
