“...spoken of African tribes who had some premonition of pale-faced strangers with good news appearing in their midst. Judson, unable to enter the doors of Calcutta, and of Madras, rudely and violently shut in his face, went to the Karens and found them partially prepared to receive him owing to a tradition that white men were some day to bring them good tidings. Grif- fith John met with a prepared people when, after many endeavours, he ob- tained access to the interior of China. Our greatest and most important work in North China began with the vision of an old dreamer, and his visit of in- quiry to Tientsin, and when the evan• gelists went at his request to Chu Chia Tsai, the people were eager for the message they joyfully delivered. It was from a prayer-meeting held in the upper room that the first preachers of the Cross issued, and gathered the first-fruits of the Jews in the conversion of three thousand souls. It was by means of prayer that the Gospel bless- ings were first received by the...”

“...our readers, a Prosperous New Year to the MISSIONARY Echo, and a year of abundant blessing on all our mission stations! This fervent wish is mingled with faith and hope. The New Year promises to be a memorable one. Times are moving swiftly and great changes are transpiring at home and abroad. In our missionary enter- prise we begin the year face to face with great obstacles and great oppor- tunities. Will this year witness the re- moval of the financial obstruction which bars our progress? It will, if the spirit manifested in some places pervades the whole Denomination. We hope to see our income made equal to our expendi- ture, and any friends who have not done so cannot begin the year better than by making a generous promise to the increase campaign. How the Happily the revolution Revolution brought no great alarm came to our to our missionaries and Stations in hardly disturbed any of China. their work. It is wonder- ful with what promptness, decision and unanimity the revolution was effected...”

“...pect may have changed. At the moment Peking seems to be paralysed with fear and dissension. In Central China fighting still continues. In the provinces, city after city is transferring allegiance even as Ningpo has done. Whatever the outcome, we pray and hope and believe that the Kingdom is advancing in the midst of, and indeed through all, the tumult. Tlje New Year apd tbe Nations. THE old things crumbling and the new fer- menting In tumult of unrest ; The greed of each the good of all preventing ; North, South and East and West Fears rife, and nation rising against nation, Under a sky grown drear With storm and gloom, the thunder’s habi- tation— In such wise dawns the year. And we, who where the field of harvest whitens Watch with the labourers few, Still watch, though night falls and the tempest heightens, We tremble, Lord ! we too.

“...On the Road in North China telligent interest in the services and church work is unusual and very pleas- ing. It is at this place where our Anti- footbinding Society originated, which now has a roll of ever seventy families all pledged to do away with that curse in their own families, and do all they can to influence others. About eight li from here is a little village called Hua Chia where also we have a church. The principal family at this place is named “Keng,” and it is at their place where the services are held, and where the preacher resides. Since I returned home trouble has arisen at this place. Mr. Keng has been quarrelling with a villager named Wang about a bit of land. The dispute has been dragging on for nearly two years, and several times, at my instigation, the preacher and others have tried to make peace but without effect. Matters have now come to a head. About three weeks ago, after a severe storm which destroyed scores of trees, etc., both these men claimed a tree which...”

“...The Call of the Dark Continent and my father, too, is beginning to believe.” So the good news spreads among the Chinese. We may explain Mrs. Ts’ui’s cure how we will, renewed hope and more fresh air no doubt played their part, but we see much in China that can be accounted for in no other way than by direct answer to prayers of simple faith. •=׳§=’ A Review. “Tbe Call of We Barlf Coptipcpt.”* ׳ HIS well-written and beautifully- illustrated volume on African missions would be a valuable addition to Sunday School and mission- ary libraries, and should be in the hands of all interested in the uplift of Africa. It is very clearly printed, has three excellent coloured maps, and the price is only one and sixpence. Among other subjects this interesting work deals with the early history of Africa, with its people, with the con- ditions affecting missionary effort in the Dark Continent, and has also informing chapters on methods of work, the diffi- culties presented by the spread of Mo- hammedanism...”

“...anything but “ Book I.” The rest is interesting, but not equally to us. We are reminded of how much travellers and explorers are dependent on missionaries for hos- pitality (and not only in China) when the author’s record shows that he was with Mr. and Mrs. Evans from May 2nd, 1909, to January 2nd, 1910. “A broken arm, dysentery, and malaria.” We are grateful to the author for his deep and sincere acknowledgment. He has learned, as we all have, that: “ When the power of imparting־ good, Is equal to the will, the human soul ~ Requires no other Heaven.” We wish we could spare more space, but it is impossible. We appeal for the circulation of the book, and hope for the future usefulness of the author. * See Echo, p. 207, 1911.

“...the white missionaries began to lay tentative fingers on the Gold Coast, they stayed in the sea towns, and sent black converts to at- tack the fetishes in the interior. This is a libel, because so untrue. The writer, Mr. W. H. Adams, might have narrowed it by the convenient phrase, “In my experience.” THE GROWTH OF A SOUL. Under the title of “ Hudson Taylor in Early Years: The Growth of a Soul,” the first part of the official biography of this great missionary leader and founder of the China Inland Mission is now ready. The record is by Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor. We have received a copy for re- view, and we hope to insert the notice next month. THE MISSIONARY IDEA IN THE GOSPELS. In the “ Expository Times ” for No- vember, Professor the Rev. George Jackson, B.A., has a long article on this subject. Professorially critical and timid in its earlier paragraphs it be- comes, exultant in its completion. He seems at first to be feeling his way. After this he “ gets up into the high 18....”

The proposal to unite with American Methodists in the training of Chinese preachers was favourably received but deferred for further enquiry, as was also the question of the employment of native evangelists, as per Conference “ Minutes,” p. 227. Dr. Swallow’s arrival in Ningpo was reported. The question of a mission- ary to be added to the staff at Wen- chow, in consequence of the new work undertaken by the Rev. W. E. Soothill, M.A., was anxiously considered. The resignation of Miss Roebuck was re- gretfully received. She is remaining in China as a “ foreign ” nurse. Thanks were tendered to the Arth- ington Trustees for grant for Mr. Pol- lard’s translation work, and it was re- newed for five years at £200 per year. The Revs. C. E. Hicks and W. R. Stobie are to...”

“...discussion it was decided to continue our usual ECHO pages, also the Monthly Letter to the fourteen Districts which ask for its re- tention. The “ Messenger ” will be dis- continued, and a fortnightly column, kindly offered by the Editor of the “ United Methodist,” will be utilized for home and general missionary intelli- gence, Mrs. Vivian having consented to take charge of this part of the work.

“...The Position in China boo and plaster chapel-of-ease is now used for day and Sunday Schools, and with a fresh lot of desks, made a day’s journey away and carried in sections to the place, the day school should become more than ever popular with our people. I think Rice Ear Valley is the! nicest chapel in our West China Mission, and probably the best in the whole of Yun- nan. On Monday a couple, who had separ- ated, were remarried in the new chapel. I am not quite sure, but I fancy one of the preachers fell in love at that service with one of the bridesmaids. I think the go-between is about to initiate negotiations. East and West at bot- tom are the same. There is nearly always something startling wherever I go on missionary rounds. A woman about fifty years of age came to me on this Monday ask- ing me to extract her tooth. I re- quested her to, show me which one she wished out. Looking into her mouth, I asked her: “ Is it the one right at the end?” “Yes, teacher,” she replied, “ The one...”

“...ing will be found on the W.M.A. page of this Echo every month. These suggestions might be used with advantage in any missionary prayer-meeting, and where a church has a weekly prayer-meeting let me suggest that it take the character of a missionary prayer-meeting once a month. In this way we might secure a concert of prayer throughout our De- nomination which would tell powerfully upon our work abroad. Revival on the mission field is often traceable to united prayer in the home churches. Pray ye therefore.

“...severe testing for the faith and courage of the Christians left behind. The mission- aries in North China were hoping to return to the Shantung stations in a short time. But in the present un- settled condition of the country it is probable that it will be some time be- fore the Consuls will take the respon- sibility of consenting to the occupation of more remote stations. These are events we cannot control, and we must wait upon the will of Providence. Illness of We are exceedingly sorry Dr. Lilian to hear that Dr. Grandin Grandin. has suffered a serious illness. For some days her condition caused great anxiety, but the last letter from Mr. Dymond said she was, improving. Fever with cardiac complications was the cause of the trouble, and it was considered necessary that she should take a change to lower altitudes to recuperate.

“...teachers, lowered in moral tone, and often filled with the most advanced revolutionary ideas, based largely upon ignorance. For China to be saved from debasing tendencies of materialism there must be no divorce between knowledge and Christianity. It will depend entirely on the work done by Christian Colleges whether the Chinese obtain their Western science with materialism or with ׳Christianity. China ivants Western knowledge, ■ she needs Christ, but she does not yet know her need, and so of herself seeks nothing new in religion. China demands the know- ledge of the West, and it is for the Christian Church to say in effect: “We bring you Western knowledge, but we recognize that knowledge, to be of any real value to a nation, must not only be physical and intellectual, but moral and spiritual; that it is rightemisness that exalteth a nation.” ECONOMICAL MISSION WORK. We believe that the Christian Col- lege forms the point of contact between the knowledge that the Chinese want׳ and the Christ...”

“...China and Education Let us, however, be a little more specific as to our aims and objects. (1) To undermine superstition, to purify opinion and make the Christian community intelligent and self-reliant. Although this is not an aim peculiar to educational work, yet the College avails itself of its special privileges of instilling in the minds of the young the principles of public morality and true citizenship. (־ב To attract within a sphere of Christian influence those desirous of securing an education, with the hope of making them Christians. The Mission College comes into contact with a class of Chinese as yet scarcely touched by any other agency of the Christian Church, the class from which is drawn the most influential men of the country. This is one of the most important aims, because of the peculiar part that the student class takes in the national life. This class at least moulds, if it does not create, public opinion, and the Principal Chapman, at Wehchow. [Photo : Mr. W. H. Butler...”

“...for, but whose minds are filled with new ideas and ideals, resulting in purer lives and nobler characters. Why is China to- day doing so much for herself in the matter of education ? I say without fear of contradiction, by anyone who knows China, that it is largely because the splendid work done by all missionary societies was a constant reproof to her own systems. Consequently national education is becoming better each year. But if the Government institutions be- come more and more efficient it is quite clear the mission colleges must not. be satisfied with the standard they have held in the past, but must do all they can to keep well in advance of all other educational institutions, that the Chris- tian Church may retain its hold on the youth of China. Nothing but the best will do. MENTAL CONVERSION AND CHRISTIAN TRUTH. Of all the great changes that have taken place in China within the last ten years perhaps the greatest change is the complete revolution of China’s system of Civil and Military...”

“...made plain to the world, although China might be possessed of a lofty system of theoretical morality, the prevalence of “ a dauntless mendacity, a barbaric cruelty and a colossal pride unexampled in modern history.” and unless China is soon essentially changed the past conditions may gradually recur. Here, then, is the door of opportunity flung wide open to the Christian school and college to influence China for Christ and to spread Christian civilization. Is the new knowledge to enter China saturated with materialism and agnos- ticism or imbued with the living Spirit of Christ? China from an internal political point of view is just emerging from a state of chaos. Leaders are wanted, and the leaders are always chosen from the student class. The literati form the only intellectual and social aristocracy of China. Under the new regulations the future leaders will be the students from the Government and mission colleges. Just at present the students of mission colleges are placed under certain...”

The quality of the present issue may be judged by a few of its articles. The Right Hon. James Bryce, D.C.L., His Majesty’s Ambassador at Washington, writes upon “ The Impressions of a Traveller among Non-Christian Races.” Missionary experts deal with such sub- jects as “ The Growth of the Church m the Mission Field,” “ Christianity and Islam,” “Education in China and Japan,” “The Special Preparation of Missionaries,” “The Place of Women in the Modern National Movements of the East.” Almost every missionary question pressing for solution is pre- sented in one article or another.
