“...January, 1912. Tl>e Rev. GEORGE PACKER, D.D. must give; we possess, therefore we must distribute; we enjoy, therefore we must share. “ If,” is the noble declara- tion of Job, “ If I have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof, then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.” A deep and permanent interest in the missionary work of the church can only be created and sustained by growing knowledge. To think about this work at the mission anniversary, and then forget it for the next twelve months is not merely worthless: it is heartless.

“...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.

“...peacefully into the hands of the revolu- tionaries. To Meru The Committee has de- at Last. cided to send a mission- ary to Meru next Spring. Unless we enter Meru our work will be restricted to the malarious coast re- gion because the more healthy high- lands will be divided among the vari- ous missionary societies by Government arrangement. To be confined to the coast while all the great developments in East Africa were taking place fur- ther inland would leave us in the most unpromising locality. The deliberate judgment of Mr. Griffiths, whose ex- perience gives great weight to his words, is thus expressed: “ If we do not advance and occupy Meru I wish to say with all( my heart that as a mis- sion we have no future. We have no room for expansion where we are, and there is no field unoccupied excepting Meru. Your decision to advance, or not to advance, will decide the fate of this mission.” While the call to enter Meru is so urgent the state of our funds will not permit us to increase our staff...”

“...discussed with amazing boldness. Still business proceeded as usual, and, saving for vague rumours, there was no indication that any revolutionary move would be initiated. The Taotai (the chief official of the city), himself a Manchu, was probably the first to show apprehension by send- ing his family away to Shanghai, and a few days later fleeing thither himself. Still there was no disorder, or indica- tion that the city would transfer its loyalty. Popular interest in the conflict waging in Central China was intense, and there was no wavering of sympathy with the Revolutionists. News of Im- perial successes at Hankow ; the issuing by the throne of a self-incriminating edict, promising all that the reformers had demanded, failed entirely to effect any change of sympathy. No one could say what was going to happen, but that Ningpo was on the side; of the Revolu- tionists was clear to everyone. On Sunday morning the churches opened their doors for the usual ser- vices. Congregations were somewhat...”

“...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.

“...On the Road in North China with cattle. But Gwiyo Kono’s pro- phecy was fulfilled, the Masai came, saw, and conquered, and by their con- stant depredations reduced the Bara- retta Gallas to the verge of extinction. Galgalo Buy a Kumbe was a warrior who led his people out against the Wakamba. The pasture land of the two nations lay close together, and one was always waiting for a favourable opportunity to attack the other, and carry off the cattle. Galgalo was conspicuous for his bravery as a leader of the Gallas in the interchange of fights. Guyo Nyamba is one who stands out historically from the list of Galla heroes as being the harasser and devastator of the maritime regions of East Africa, where the Persians had settled and built towns of stone, the houses having rounded arches, and being of a superior style of building, as the ruins of to-day bear testimony. Guyo was also the opponent of the Wanyika tribes, who all fled before him from their original place of habita- tion to the south...”

“...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...”

“...profusion), and you talk, or, rather, are talked at until supper arrives. Perhaps the most common question received is, “ What do you eat ? ” Ah! that is the question! What do we eat ? On this point ignorance is certainly bliss. It does not do to inquire too closely. Much depends on the status of your host. Sometimes a goat is sacrificed to do honour to the foreign teacher. But more frequently it is an ancient chanticleer who has cause to rue the coming of the foreigner. Age is greatly respected in China, which is a good thing in itself. But when you are called upon to partake of a goat or a rooster who; could tell you, if they could speak, of things which happened almost before you vi ere bern, then you are prepared to concede a great "deal in favour of youth. If, how- ever, shortly after your arrival, you should chance to hear a noise of much squeaking and grunting, and a dozen porkers rush by with two or three natives in pursuit, then you can guess at the nature of your coming banquet.

“...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....”

“...have envied us our deep sense of com- radeship with the past, our knowledge of what Christianity has proved itself to be over the broad fields of the world’s life? We have, as they had, the Will of Christ ex- plicit in one great charge, implicit in all He said and did; we have also, what they could not have, the confirmation of the cen- turies. It is no doubtful venture on which we are bidden to embark. Not Scripture only, but Scripture interpreted and made luminous by history, calls us to the mission- ary task. On our bowed heads an awful past has laid its consecrating hands. “To doubt would' be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.” ANOTHER DEGREE. We are always delighted when mis- sionaries are honoured by our Univer- sities. In our report of the Foreign Missionary Committee we have re- ferred to the Rev. W. E.

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.
