an«l mother— they were friendless and
homeless; but it was only one of the
many similar instances hap|>eniug
every day— only three little children
left friendless and homeless; that was
all. But it was a crucial moment in at
least one life. Rev. J. G. Lernen was
at that time pastor of a large church
in Council Bluffs, la.
This man,
whose heart was large enough to find a
place tor every unfortunate one, took
these children into his own home,
where tlrey shared the same hving,
tender care that was bestowed upon his
own little ones. It was not long lie-
fore he learned of other children who
had las*n left to the cold mercies of a
selfish world.
Moved with compas
sion, he took the««*, also, to his already
overcrowded home. Then came the
test; money was needed. He had a
few thousand dollars which he had
saved up tor a rainy day. He little
knew what the Master had in store for
him; but he was obeilieut, and when
the news came that other little help
less ones had b«‘en left alone, fatherli'ss
and motherless, and the command came
to take these also, to the ordinary man,
with his house filled to overflowing and
a large congregation looking to him 10 be
fed spiiitually, it would have s«-eined
like an impossibility; not so, however,
with this man; it was enough for nim
to know that his Master approved of it
and bid him to do it. As he stepped
out upon His promises and obeyed the
command to go forward, the way opened
before him, and when he had exhausted
his own competency, never doubting
but that a way would be provided to
supply theii needs, He who owns the
cattle upon a thousand hills moved
upon the hearts of His faithful sub
jects to send of their substance that
these little, homeless ones might be
cared for.
Larger quaiters became
necessary, and they were secured.
From a small beginning, twenty-one
years ago, the Christian Home has
grown until now about twe hundred
and fifteen children aie cared for there,
an«i two thousand have been placed in
good Christian families. The real es
tate consists of about twenty-five cot
tages and other buildings, all owned
by an organization which has been
formed through the efforts of Mr.
Lernen with a view of making it a per
manent organization.
The scrupulous neatness and order
that pervades the entire institution,
the loving salutation of ‘ ‘ Hello papal”
that rings out from every quarter as
he passes about the grounds, and the
remarkable executive ability he dis
plays in all the management of the
affaiis of the Home, are sufficient to
impress every visitor that it is no ordi
nary man who has been called to this
great and noble work. Children are
taken here from any part of the glolie,
and have the best possible care and
training. You, my readers, wherever
you may be, may have a |iart in this
grand work. It is a labor of love in
behalf of all homeless, suffering chil
dren everywhere. The children are
frequently adopted by Christian peo
ple, hut are never allowed to go from
the Heme excepting into Christian
families who are properly vouched for
and families of children are never sep-
aiateil. The Christian Home is non-
sectarian, but is heartily endorsed and
supported by all denominations. It
take» children from every state and it
Is not a local affair, but belongs to the j
world.
We have given this brief description
of the Christian Home with the hope
that all who raed it w ill become inter
ested in its welfare.
If you have
money which the Master desires you to
use for such purposes, send it to this
Home. There is no institution that is
more worthy of your gift than this.

called “ The Word and The W ay;” sub

you w ill forward at once twenty-five

the stockyards’ strike by mediation.
I Negotiations liegnn today between the
retail Hutcbers’ and Groceta’ associa
tion with representatives of several
labor unions, which w ill undoubtedly
be involved in the strike, shomd it Ire
prolonged much longer, resulted to
night iu the appointment of a commit
tee composed of those who attended to
day's meeting, to negotiate with the
packers tomorrow morning in an at
tempt to bring about a joint meeting
between the employers anil the striking
unions. I t was the sentiment of ail
who attended today’s conference that
should the meeting lie arranged be
tween the two opposing interests, a
settlement satisfactory to both sides
could be realized.
Meantime, Samuel Gompers, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has been summoned from New
York to see if he cannot accomplish
something through mediation.
Mr.
Gompers will arrive here Sunday morn
ing.
The packers tonight declined to
make any comment on what, if any
success might be expected from tire
meeting.
“ We cannot very well discuss this
matter now,” saiil one of the packers
representatives tonight.
“ We now
have out affairs in a better condition
than at any time since the strike was
declared, and as for myself, I am un
able to see on what grounds we could
meet the strikers.”
Under the direction of Mayor Har
rison, who was urged to take the step
by a committee composed of labor
leaders and several aldermen, an inves

tlie various packing plants where Btrike

Several of the plants were
visited, but no flagrant violations of
the law were found.

N o rth
8t. Petersburg, Aug. 12.— Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er of the Japanese army seems to be
disappearing. According to a state
ment issned by the genera! staff to
night, rains are again falling over a
wide area of Manchuria with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press tonight
from un exieptional source that the
Japanese have once more delayed too
long. General Kuropatkin has now
withdrawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Liao Yang.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about 300,000 men in
the armies operating against Kuropat
kin, rendering it too hazardous for him
to risk a general engagement. The gen
eral staff has no information bearing on
the reported presence of a large force of
Japanese at Paithuhi, a place that can
not be located on available mapB. The
report agrees, however, with the gen-
era 1 tenor of the information received
by the Associated Press and here given,
that General Kuropatkin is already re
treating north of Liao Yang.
The advantages of the new Japanese
base at Nin Uhwang in greatly simpli
fying the problem of provisioning tlieir
army is fully realized.
The rumor
that they are moving up towards Sim-
intin, a short distance west of Mnkden,
from Niu Cwang is generally believed.
The appearance of the Japanese on
the other side of Mnkden would almost
pocket General Kuropatkin and he re
solved to accept battle with his whole
army at Liao Yang.

that the Thea was chariere«! by a Jap

that there s no change in the situation

the special dispatches to the Associated

that the Japanese are continuing their
preparations for a flanking movement

this move, and is sending out recon-

the slight en-ounter with a Japanese
outpost within 30 miles of Sintsintin.
The Japanese are also bringing strong
forces from Yinkow.

There is considerable anxiety re
