“...OUR FOREIGN FIELD. 5 for several years, confided to me the joyous news that he and his wife had given their hearts to God. All alone in their house, late at night, they had knelt at the throne of grace and in tears and supplication poured out their souls to God. They received the assurance of salva- tion, and are now rejoicing in the possession of life everlasting. THE GENERAL SECRETARY’S NOTES. Orrmrs of service are greatly needed for China and East Africa, and suitable young men are earnestly entreated to correspond with the Secretary. We offered special prizes last year to the collectors, under a certain age, of the two highest amounts for our Missions. The first prize was won and is very helpful in spreading the Gospel amongst the Chinese. * * * Tur Rev. T. H.

Of these, thirty-three are appointed to different parts of Africa, seventy-three to Asia, and two to Australasia. Besides these, five Missionaries recently left for Hastern Equatorial Africa, one for the Punjab, three for South China, and three for the North Pacific Mission. By the time our readers see this paragraph it is probable all these Gospel labourers will have left our shores. * * % Tur London Missionary Society employs 248 European Missionaries, with a total of 96,118 Church members under their care.

“...twitted about his ‘ hea- then’ opinions. Alfred took his part, and this led to an intimacy. between them, and some talks in the pri- vacy of their own rooms, on India, its customs and religions, and on Chris- tianity with its universal claims and powers. The needs of the great heathen world were thus forced upon his attention, and he began to hear a voice from afar crying, ““Come over and help us.” Happening also to come across a book published by the China Inland Mis- sion, entitled, The Evan- gelization of the World, the awful state of China and the other nations which were sitting in darkness was shown in its true colours, and he began to ask Divine guidance about his future work. At last the call came very clearly. Mr. Robert Wilder, of America, came over to this country to urge the claims of foreign Missions, and to band the students who might volun- teer into a union on the same basis as had been done in America. He visited Aberdeen in March, 1892, and addressed a small body of students...”

A list of persons suitable as guardians of these children has been submitted to his Excellency the Governor, and the list, as approved by him, has been published.

In a letter to the Missionary Secretary, under date October 27, 1893, Rev. J. W. Heywood writes :— “For twelve months past and more I have been able to write that all was at peace on all our Stations. I am sorry that I cannot still report the same in this present letter. Just now our ‘Ts’ing Die’ church is being tried by the fire of persecution. T’sing Die is a walled city some 120 li above Wenchow, on the north side of the river. It has become a very impor- tant Station, and the work in that...”

Even under such unto- ward circum- stances as these Chris- tian forbear- ance may pro- duce fruit. Meekness of character un- der all circum- stances is the Chinese per- fect ideal. Many months after the riot the Rey. David Hill, of Han- kow, a thou- sand miles dis- tant, wrote to Wenchow that he had just received into churchfellow- ship an intel- ligent China- man who dated his first interest in Christianity to that terrible night. There in the yamen the little band passed an anxious night, not knowing, as they watched the glare of their burning homes against the autumn sky, but that at any moment the mob might break in upon them and demand their lives. And what about the native Christians? Did they waver by reason of this calamity? The morrow dawned, bringing to Mr. Soothill’s side Mr. Chang, a man whose devotion to the...”

HEYWOOD during a recent month visited ten country stations connected with the Wen chow Missions ‘Two of these places he visited for the first time.

He writes of an alarm of insur- rection which had disquieted the country, but which, from authentic information, he was able to assure the Administrator was a false alarm; of the digging of a well at Golbanti, where, at the depth of eight feet, he found water entirely free from the brackishness of the well sunk by Mr. During; of an abortive leopard hunt; of the escape of two Mission boys, whose tiny canoe had been...”

Tur readers of the Annual Report of our Missions will find that the names of the sub- scribers, and the amount contributed, vary very little from year to year.

“... THE GENERAL SHCRETARY’S NOTES. Tus Annual Missionary Convention and Demonstration will be held in Exeter Hall, London, on Monday, April 28rd, inst. Mr. Councillor Addison, of Sunderland, will take the chair at the afternoon convention, and addresses will be given by the Rev. Silvester Horne and other friends. The evening meet- ing will be presided over by R. W. Perks, Esq , M.P., and addressed by the Revs. 8S. Wright (President of the Annual Assembly), Dr. R. F. Horton, W. EH. Soothill (of China), Geo. Turner, and Joseph Hocking. The London friends are doing their utmost to make the forthcoming meetings a great success, and, as this is a Con- nexional anniversary, we make an earnest appeal to the friends throughout the Connexion for liberal help to the Chairman’s list of sub- scriptions. There was a deficiency in last year’s balance of more than £500, and every effort should be made to make up that deficiency, and secure a successful anniversary. We beg to remind our local secretaries...”

“...streets were paved with what we in the North used to eall ‘‘ cobble-stones,’’ and the brick or stone houses were covered with old-fashioned red tiles, not, however, of English pattern, but Moorish or Spanish. There was a good covered market, and some very good stores. I was particularly struck with the Chinese emporiums, filled with all manner of productions from that country, natural and artificial Panama is in constant communication with San Fran- cisco, and the latter is within easy reach of China. There is a small but beautiful square in the upper part of the city, having as its chief ornaments the Catholic Cathedral, the Bishop’s. palace, the Grand Central Hotel, and the Canal Company’s head office. A nicely laid out tropical garden occupies the centre. I had a sail for about half-an-hour on the bay, so as to be able to say I had sailed on the Pacific, which at this time certainly answered itsname.

“...these meant Yes, and another meant No, and a third Perhaps, and a fourth J don’t know, that would be something analogous to the state of things in China; and my readers can easily see how difficult it must be to preach in sucha language without making terrible blunders. Much difficulty, however, would be saved, both to boys and girls and to Missionaries, in learning foreign languages, if they would take the trouble to learn a little about their own vocal organs, and about the way in which they must be wielded to produce any given desired sound. It is all very well for babies to learn by the mere imitation of sound, but those who are old enough to practise the conscious adjust- ment of tongue, lips, jaw, palate, and elottis to the required end will find that by far the quickest and most accurate method.

“...solve the difficult problem of where to bestow all our goods (the sleeping- room being little bigger than some of my packing-cases), and with no dinner in prospect the Consul himself came along and _ saic abruptly: ““Come to tiffin” (lunch). Living alone in China for long years has a decided tendency to develop peculiarities and idiosyn crasies, but we soon learnt that our Consul’s usually laconic and often brusque style of address veiled a kindly disposition. We went, and were cordially welcomed by his wife, a young Swiss lady, also a recent comer to Wenchow, and who had lived in Yorkshire for some years. This lady afterwards proved a most willing, helpful friend, and I doubt if a similar instance could have been found in the whole of China, of a Consul’s wife spending her time and busily plying her needle to supply the hot weather wardrobe of a Missionary’s wife, when she found herself minus almost every article of clothing which she could endure to wear, people at home have such...”

“...it? Love, It was an unfortunate ending. To ask a question in the concluding line was anything but lyrical. So Montgomery himself felt, and in later issues of the hymn he altered it. Some compilers did not like his emendation, and tried one of their own. The form found in our own hymn-book is better than Montgomery’s original, but the form I like best is this: The tide of time shall never His Covenant remove ; His name shall stand for ever, His new, best name of love.

“...were to be their victims. The strength completely left my limbs, I walked on, how, I knew not, so when they rushed up a side lane, just before reaching us—and on some other quest—my relief was unspeakable. Here, too, I may add that, though not par- ticularly nervous, I had been more than a year in Wenchow before I ventured alone through the ‘“‘ Dw-ka,” or Big Street.

“...solid hour snipped away, for a long time oblivious of the fact that seven Chinamen were gazing in, with their noses flattened against the window, as deeply absorbed in the operation as myself. Doubt- less they at once decided that in our ‘‘barbarous country ” the women were the barbers, not the men. It was to this little home there came, some few months later, the horrifying tidings of the massacre of Mr. and Mrs. Houghton at Golbanti. They had sailed for Africa on the same day that I sailed for China. MEDICAL MISSIONS. A sisHop of the Church of England was travelling through Africa on a Missionary tour.
