the inner history of last ye crisis has yet to be told, but a little account of this may be interesting. Marshal Chang Tso-lin lay at Tien-and the Capital, under the! control of Anfu party and Feng Yuhsiang, seethed with anti-foreign demonstrations. An envoy from the! Diplomatic Body visited Marshal] Chang and expressed a wish that ko should come to Peking and, the reins of Government, ipped in the bud a movement that wye semblance of developing into a disaster to the ultimate interests of both Chinese and foreigners. "I! [cannot," was Chang's reply, "visi the Capital without an is from the Chief Executive." Th having been duly conveyed to. the iplomatie Body, the latter meeting decided that the Doyen of that Body should visit the Chief Executive and obtain from him the necessary invitation to Marshal Chang.
Chief Executive Tuan' was more than a match for the Doyen.

Arter all, it is in. serving others that people'get a real kick out of Real joy; peace ud contentment is known' only to those: who are in the habit of performing little acts of kindness for others. Those' who serve others find happiness in the knowledge that they have been of service. That is their reward. And they receive it, not in doll ang cents, but in satisfaction. It is my ambition to thoke people as happy as possible. I know that genuine [happiness can only come through service. There is more fan in giving than taking; there is more real Joy connected with performing a service than receiving one. That is why I always am: willing to let people serve me.
