“...have to leave undone, not from want of dis- position but want of time. As the years hasten along our vision becomes clearer and broader, and new spheres of service open to us and beckon us to enter them. Alas! we cannot; our limitations hold us back, limitations both of time and energy. What is the great lesson brought home to us by these facts? To do with our might what we can do ; to work with greater system so that both in quantity and quality we may do all that is possible to us. In the mission field the year 1910 Mr. T. W. Chapman, M.Sc. Wenchow College, 1902—. (Taken since his return on furlough.) will stand out in the history of the Christian Church as one in which the momentous question of missions was placed in an absolutely new light, and m which it became one of the most powerful apologetics ever given to the Christian faith. “ The World Missionary Conference,” held in the month of June, placed the Gospel, as a dynamic force for the revolution of human nature, along the line...”

“...Echo. It is a necessity, never more so than now! Our enlarged missionary area, our completer missionary methods, and an ever-growing mission- ary literature makes our own missionary Magazine an absolute necessity. All other helps must be gratefully and heartily welcomed, but the MISSIONARY ECHO becomes more imperative as the years pass! OUR APPEAL. If you do not take our missionary Magazine, begin with the New Year. For the sake of the children, when their ideals are being formed, let a number of the ECHO find a place in every family. It will help both to broaden ideas and enlarge sympathies! Not only do we plead for the taking of the ECHO, but also plead that both in the church and in the home prayer be made without ceasing for our missionaries and our missions.

“...re- Intercession, peatedly called our churches to observe the second Sunday in January as a day for special intercession on behalf of our missions. If this were done throughout our Denomination what a glorious re- vival would be the result! How the men upon the different foreign stations, who often look out upon parched ground, would see the coming of the gracious rain with wonder and delight. When we remember that it is in the power of the churches to bring down a blessing upon each of our mission- aries, our native workers and communi- cants, one cannot over-estimate the value of properly observing this day of special intercession. Let it be done in all our chapels, and in all our Sun- day Schools. Let there be mention of the pressing needs and then special prayer that they may be supplied. I suggest the following subjects as re- quiring our prayers not only on one day, but always:— For our missionaries, that they may receive a renewal of the baptism of power. For all native preachers...”

“...wish to go came the doubt of its ever becoming a possibility. Then some words, written in my album by a Miss Ada Holt, designated for Wenchow, China. [Photo: Whitehead, Bury. prominent Free Church minister, came as a guide. “ Be sure,” he wrote, “ that God has a plan for your life, and He will reveal it to you as you wait upon Him.” Did His plan for me mean mis- sionary work? I believed so, but— waited. Following the gleam, I sought to pre- pare myself for the work. Keeping in touch with missionary work, and be- coming more fully acquainted with the great need of the heathen world, the command of Jesus sounded with greater persistence in my ears—“ Go ye ! ” Then, during my second year in Col- lege, the day came when doubt was no longer possible. I knew that the wish to go was from Him. Thus I go, in His strength, to seek to win the girls of China for my Saviour. It is interesting to trace the spiritual growth of one who has made such a decision, and the following will be deeply gratifying...”

“...that we did not consider God would like us to fast to the injury of our health, and that He would hear her earnest prayers for her sons without the f asting. The following Sunday the Bible- woman, Mr. Sze Ping Yu and I again entered a boat, and went to the village. The distance was not too great for Mr. Sze and myself to walk, but the Bible- woman having rather small feet it would be a great tax on her strength. Perhaps you wonder what the Biblewoman was to do! Well, she came as a chaperon. In China it is not wise for a foreign woman, single or married, to go in the company of a Chinese man, even to do work, unless a Chinese woman also ac- companies her, and the Biblewoman moreover was very useful in helping to keep the children in order. Our first Sunday was a great success. We had the little chapel filled to over- flowing with children as well as a great number of adults who crowded round the door to see what we were going to do with the children. I took a note- book with me as a register...”

“...off seeing the com- plete and successful issue of the travail of His soul! In some parts of India there is one missionary toiling amid a heathen population varying from two hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand; in some parts of Japan the proportion of one for a number varying from four hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand souls; and in many districts in China a proportion startlingly less adequate. The population of China is confessedly difficult to compute; we have sometimes been charged with exaggeration in speaking of its four hundred millions, but Professor T. Y. Chang, representing the U.S.A. Pres- byterian Mission, declared emphatically that the true figure is eight hundred millions. Dr. Julius Richter, of the Berlin Missionary Society, is probably below the actual reality in his calcula- tion that there are a thousand millions waiting to be evangelized, only the outer fringe of this appalling mass of destitution being at present touched. A thousand millions! Who can grasp...”

“...tree. All missionaries testify of the successful training of native workers, and of the far-reaching effects of their zeal as they go forth to evangelize their fellow countrymen. The native evangelists of Korea, of China, of India, of Uganda are doing great things, and this agency is receiving development on every mis- sion field. It is recommended not be- cause it is cheap, but because it is effective. The native preacher finds the quickest way to the hearts of his own brethren, and his advocacy of the Gospel leads to the recognition that it is not an exotic, but is indigenous to the soil. The Conference concluded that knowledge, full, exact, detailed know- ledge of all the facts, must be insisted on in home churches; that the duty and the opportunity and the urgency of mission work must be affirmed, and re- affirmed and affirmed again; that this must be attended with strategic plan- ning to enter upon all unoccupied fields; that the great ideal of carrying the Gospel to all the world must...”

YOUNG PEOPLE’S PAGE. By the Rev. W. H. HUDSPETH IT was New Year’s Eve, and the city, looking very gay, was painted red. During the day everybody was busy settling accounts, pulling down old picture-gods and putting up new, and, at darkling, as an offering for sin, sprinkling the blood of the fowl on the doors of the houses. For the first time since last New Year’s Eve the women were sweeping their homes, polishing the family gods, and preparing the family altar for the burning of the in- cense. Even the mission station was affected, by the bustle of the Chinaman. Pre- sents were being sent to, and received from, different people. On the...”

When we left Wenchow the opium dens were only nominally closed, so that it is good news to hear that vigorous steps are being taken.

“...Another Tour in Yunnan have counted the living millions of the Chinese Empire. What are we doing to save them? To aid in this great work the United Methodist Church has missions in three distinct parts of China. In North China we have 3,200 members. In South Eastern China 4,500 mem- bers, and in South West China 3,800 members : a grand total of about 11,500 members. The work that is carried on is very varied. There are hospitals where the sick and injured bodies of the people are cared for by competent doctors and skilled nurses; schools and colleges, where the children and young people are taught under Chris- tian influences; and there are many churches and chapels where the gospel of Jesus is preached regularly to the listening people. In addition to these agencies our missionaries and native preachers go out into the highways and villages to proclaim the good ti- dings of the birth, life, death and resur- rection of Jesus. To keep all this good work going a lot of money is needed, and...”

“...Oar Wonpep’s Auxiliary. By Mrs. balkwill. BOUT the time this is in the hands of many of our readers, ־* Miss Holt (whose portrait ap- pears on page 6), will be on her way to China, as she expects to sail in com- {)any with some China Inland Mission adies on January 3rd. During the last few weeks Miss Holt has addressed several meetings in various counties. A special effort has been made by our W.M.A. Rochdale District to further help the mission fund by raising her passage-money. We earnestly com- mend our sister to the care and guid- ance of Him to whose service in a far- off land she has consecrated herself. Appeals for more workers come from other stations. Miss Roebuck, North China, writes:— Smerdon attended me, and helped me in every possible way, but when I did not im- prove he advised me to consult a doctor at Shanghai. The latter thought a change to Chefoo would be beneficial, so I stayed at Chefoo four months, and returned to Wen- chow in July. I was not very strong when I came...”

“...Road-malppy at Golbapti. By tbe Rev J. H. DUERDEN. BETWEEN the River Tana and the mission-house is a tract of ground about 400 yards in breadth. Half of this, during the flood season, which lasts for several months each year, is under water, making it impossible to pass from the river to the house without using a canoe. When the flood is receding this space be- comes a morass of mud and shallow water in which even a canoe is useless. The late R. M. Ormerod, a man of God whose memory is still green among the Gallas of Golbanti, built a road and a bridge across from the village to the river. This, however, was washed away. The photograph shows the re- building of the road, in 1905, by which communication from village to river on dry ground was secured at all states of the flood. This road and bridge (upon which latter the workmen stand) re- sisted three floods and were still intact when I left Golbanti in June, 1906. Prize Competition. No. 13.

In most societies there are those who are talented as paper writers, and two such might be asked to contribute short and com- prehensive papers on, say (1) Our Deputation in China and (2) The World Missionary Con- ference.
