3elfish exploitation of the weak nations ,
ay the strong. The best friends the east
las had in the west have been the Christian
missionaries, who have sympathetisally
interpreted the oriental point of
iriew and character.
A hundred detailed stories of the
practical services which missionaries v
are rendering may be told. Here is one
just in from Constantinople by a late ?
issue of the Orient. Dr. W. B. Adams r
of Beirut learned a couple of years ago
from John Hopkins of the good effects
of the treatment of leprosy by freezing
with carbon-dioxide snow. In (
America not one physician in ten s
thousand would have any opportunity
to experiment with cases of leprosy.
But Dr. Adams patiently tried out the j
process on ten lepers, who have been j
so greatly benefited that they have t
proclaimed themselves cured. A mo- (
ment's thought suggests the stupendous t
meaning of what Dr. Adams has done. 3
The hideous outward blemishes, which f
advertise the victim to all the world as e
a leper, have been removed. Deadened <j
members of .the body have been given t
ife and feeling. The hopelessness of t
leprosy has been replaced by a zest for a
life. Health has been set coursing }
through the arteries of the living dead, t

St. Mark Reporter of His Day.
St. Mark was the greatest journalist
f all time, said Rev. Frank M. Palmer
f Phildelphia in an address before the
Bible conference, at the Baptist Temple,
n Phildelphia.
"St. Mark," he said, "covered all his
hronicles in sixteen chapters, while it
ook St. Luke twenty-four to tell his
3tory; St. John, twenty-one, and St.
ifatthew as many as twenty-eight.
"Moreover." said Dr. Palmer, "St.
dark's ability as a journalist was evilent
also in his style, as well as in his
irevlty. He put more color into his
itory than did the others. St. Mark was
he reporter among the apostles. His
viewpoint, his language and his marvelius
ability to give action and climax,
ilash and color in a sentence should be
i glowing example to the newspaper
vriters of today."

This accentuation of an oriental fashIon
at a time when we thought the
Persian and Turkish influences were on !
the wane has significance. As opposed
to the incoming styles of ls<>0 and of ;
Watteau. the assemblage looks llk^ a potpourri
of all things we ever wore. On<actually
feels as though one were at a
exposition of CQStumery since the Tanagra
days. Now that tho early Egyptian cos- ;
tumes are also coming In. there will be j
no reason why a woman should not wear j
what she chooses.
Callot makes no bones about the Turk- |
lsh trousers .she shows. They are as real i
as the harem. They are in gold lace. '
very thick and heavy, over a lining of silk
or chiffon. Gathered at the waist, they
fall to' the ankles, where they are again
gathered into a narrow gold fringe. This i
clatters around the feet In true oriental j
fashion.
Over these was a drapery of scarlet I
satin twisted around the legs in such a
manner that it had no hem. but followed
the line of tho gold trousers in a less
exaggerated way. It was open at the
sides, where it was draped into full folds.
Tn the back was a panel put on to the
waist and hanging free of the otherdrapery.
Sounds complicated, and probably
it was, but it looked simple on the
i figure.
* 5i:
Of course, Callot can manipulate material
in a marvelous way: she has few
equals. In such a frock as this she is
put to a good test.
She shows other frocks in her hoitse
that savor strongly of the orient, more
so than oven Poiret shows. She seems
to have borrowed something of his taste
for the orient.
The most original frock she shows is
made for dancing. It is a modest imitation
of the costume worn by the dancing
girls of Persia or Turkey. There is first
a straight shirt or slip of white chiffon
which drops from the neck to below the
waist, and to the edge of this is draped
a skirt of white and silver hrr?r-arl*? l>
is folded around the figure about two
inches below the waist line proper, and
caught at the side with a huge cabochon.
It opens from that ornament to the hein.

TO HONOR COKE S MEMORY.
Three Methodisms to Celebrate First
Bishop's Centennial.
BALTIMORE, March 28.?The centennial
of the death of Thomas Coke, first
bishop of Methodism in America or elsewhere,
will be celebrated May .'i in- this
city and throughout the nation, and a
special committee representing the Methoi
dlst Episcopal, the Methodist Protestant
and the Methodist Episcopal Church
South will meet today to prepare plans
for the celebration here.
All three branches of Methodism in this
city will unite in honoring the memory of
Coke, who, with Francis Asbury, was
chiefly instrumental in founding Methodism
in America and is hopored alike by
all three branches.
The committee is composed of the Rev.
Dr. Francis T. Tagg. editor of the Methodist
Protestant; the Rev. Frank G. Porter,
secretary of the Baltimore Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and the Rev. John Paul Tyler of the
Southern Methodist Church. The Baltimore
celebration will be of especial interest.
as it is regarded as the birthnlace
in America of Methodism, and as Thomas
Coke and Francis Asbury are closely
connected with Baltimore.
Asbury's body lies in Mount Olivet
cemetery, and. though <'oke was often in
this city when he came to America, he
f died while on a voyage to India and was
buried at sea.
were the means of arousing the wrorld
to the horrors of the African slave
trade. These incidents are all social'<
service of first magnitude, and recognized
as such by even the bitterest foe
of missions.
The Christian idea of womanhood is
one of the- potent bequests of the mis- ,
sionary to the great non-Christian world. (
The changes in the social order of 3
America and Europe wrought by the
woman movement are not comparable ?
with the far garter changes effected by 1
Christian missions in Asia and Africa. 1

Asks Congregation at St. Jai
Aid Fight on 1
NEW YORK. March 28.?Bishop Frederick
Courtney, in the course of a
morning service at St. James' Protestant
Episcopal Church, asked those of his
congregation who have political influence
to bring it to bear in behalf of the In-,
dians of Alaska, with a view to ending
their evil exploitation by white men, !
especially by the illegal sale of liquor.
Bishop Courtney referred without comment
to a recent editorial article in the
Churchman which said that the Rt.
Call Conference o
Time for World to Becom
w. t. jv:
Rev. Dr. William T. Manning:, chairman
of the World Conference of Faith
and Order, has sent out from New York
city a call to all Christian people to "labor
without ceasing to work out in this
generation, by mutual recognition and
possible readjustment, a practical basis
of unity in liberty, in order, in truth, in
power and in peace." ?*
This communication is considered the
most important issued by the conference
since its organization, some time ago, for
the purpose of bringing about unity of
spirit of action among the Christian religions
of the world. The call, in part, is
as follows:
"We believe in the one people of God
throughout the world. We believe that
now is a critically hopeful time for the
world to become Christian. We believe
that the present world problems of Christianity
call for a world conference of
Christians.
"This proposal has already received the
approval and co-operation of a large
number of Christian churches: approaches
are being made to others as
rapidly as possible, so that we hope that
ere long its world-wide representative
character will be established beyond peridventure.
In the work of preparation
for its convening we have no authority

Important questions which the conference
itself will meet to con^jder. It is
