News from China and Japan.
Sir Matthew Hale.

We have been furnished for publication
two letters, recently received at the Mission
Room, one from China anu the other from
Japan. Another letter from Mr.. gilbert
son, received at the same time, but of later
date, states that Rev. Mr.. Danforth was
Lying very i'll in the province of Shantung,
with little or no prospect of restoration to
permanent health. Mr.. Danforth is ma
tive of Georgia, and graduate of the The
illogical Seminary of Columbia, and this in
telligence will carry sorrow to the hearts OF
many friends of missions. The same letter
states that the victorious insurgents were
pressing rapidly towards Shanghai, but it
was supposed that there was sufficient
French and English force there to protect
the foreign residents.

l need not say that | was rejoiced to find
that in the midst of the tumult of war, and
strife, Southern Christians have not forgot
ten the cause Of Foreign Missions. Much as
I regret the course of our Southern brethren
in reference both to Church and State, it is
a pleasant thought that we still have COM
mon ground on which we can meet in cor
diel and hearty sympathy; even although we
have drawn the sword against each other,
we can still stand side by side in the great
conflict with the adversaries Of the Gospel
of Christ. | trust the South will not in any
event neglect the great work of FOREIGN
Missions, even though they do not see fit to
WORT through our present Board. DR.. Hep
burr and MIR. Danforth will no doubt thank
you or this donation.
We are all in good health. Our new
building and dwelling house are nearly
finished, and We are to move into them on
the first of June. Our power-press has ar.
rived, and the translation of the Bible IS
finished. We are ready to print it on a large
scale. Will not the South do something to
help US scatter this translation of Gods
Word among the millions of China? l be-

remove from US by death the Rev. W. W.
Stickley-therefOre
Resolurd, That we bow in humble sub
mission to the divine will as expressed in
this event, and adore that sovereignty which
we cannot comprehend.
As Synod we record his death with sim
cere sorrow, feeling that we have lost val
liable member of this body and highly eS-
teemed brother in Christ.
We deeply sympathize with the people of
his recent charge, believing that they have
been deprived of an earnest, affectionate
and faithful preacher-a laborious and de-
voted pastor and one who was very success
full among them, as we'll in comforting, guild
ing and instructing the people of God, as
in winning souls to the Redeemer.
We also tender our warmest sympathies
to his deeply afflicted wife and children, and
commend them to the love and kindness of
our Heavenly Father.
The end of our beloved brother was peace,
and we hope that his rest will be glorious.

MINUTE OF TIE SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.

The Rev. David H. Cunningham was a
native Of Rockingham County, received his
Theological education at Union Seminary
and was licensed to preach by the Presby-
terry of Lexington in the year 1884.
During his life he labored in many differ
ent fields with much zeal and good degree
of success. He evidently loved the service
of his Lord and Master Jesus Christ, but in
consequence Of continued feeble health, and
other circumstances. the latter part of bis
life was one Of much suffering and but little
efficiency in the ministry. Many and sore
were his affections, but the Lord, we trust,
has delivered him out of them all. Through
much tribulatiOn he has entered into the
Kingdom of Heaven.
The Synod would hereby express their
sincere sympathy for his numerous orphan
children, now bereaved of both their parents,
and would earnestly commend them to the
grace and protecting kindness of their
fathers God.

care We Almost There 2"

How often is this question asked by little
children when travelling from one place to
another. How impatient they become to
reach the end of their journey. They strain
their eager eyes in hopes of catching some
sight of the place, but still they are told we
shall reach it by-and-by. The road is long
and dusty, the sun beams down upon us,
and we onl y gain the top of some steep hill
to go down again into the valley, Milestone
after milestone is passed and the ripping
brook, but we keep straight on. At last,
from some commanding point we catch
glimpse of the long looked for place-but
it Is far away. Many more milestones, long
hills and brooks must be passed ere we reach
the place. How happy we feel when the
last milestone is passed and we hear it said,
"We are almost there" 1t enlivens our
dropping spirits, we feel refreshed, and then
think of the loved ones we are going to
meet. Are they all therel Who is absent
Has death been there since we last met and
taken any one from that family9
Such is life, dear children, it is journey
from this world to one which is above, a
journey of trials and difficulties. To some
this journey is not long, many children die
when quite young, and to them it is but
short. Others live to good old age
They have many milestones and steep hills
to pass.
But to enable Us to travel this road Alright
we need religion to sustain US. We need
Christ as our friend, and if He is on our side,
and we live near to Him, we need not fear
if the road is long; we will come to the end
by and by. TEACHER.

My DEAR Mr.. WILSoN,-Your letter OF
November % was received few days ago,
and at the same time one from Mr. GILBERT
son, informing me that he had received your
bill for 91OO, which he would negotiate and
place to my credit.
Your letter was pleasant surprise, I was
only sorry it was not longer. and more full.
My wife is now on a visit home, to look
after our dear boy. She left me last Sep
TENDER to go via San Francisco. Shereached
New York about the 22d of November;
have heard from her to January "A. 1t was
her earnest desire and intention to make a
visit to her friends in the South, if possible,
but fear from the present aspect of affairs,
that she will not be able to accomplish it.,
to her great disappointment, or even to hear
from her friends in the South.
have no doubt your offer to provide the
means Of her support in the missionary
work, will be entirely agreeable to her, and
| certainly can have no objection to it, pro-
vided it does not disturb our present rela-
tons to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions, and provided also it meets with
the gbproyal Of our committee, which it
doubtless will. Is it not possible for you
to have some correspondence and under
standing with the committee in New York
on the subject!
As you may suppose, am leading q SOL
itary kind of life, having not a single mem
Der of my family near me. | have, however,
kind and pleasant neighbors in the Browns
of the Dutch mission, besides house full
of missionary friends, Mr.. and Mrs Bal
lagh Of the same mission, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Keith of the Episcopal mission of Shanghai,
who are here now for health. am making
as good use of my time as l know how, in
the way of preparation for future usefulness,
am daily getting more familiar with the
language, and hope some day, not distant,
to be able to make use Of it. | had a very
Furnishing dispensary and hospital, last
summer. 1t was in operation only some four
months; l had from eighty to one hundred
and fifty patients daily, but the Government
at last put summary stop to it, by pre-
venting my patients from attending. l still
see a few patients daily, either at my own
house or in theirs. The Jesuit missionaries
have opened a chapel in Yokohama, the
people locked to it for few days, when It
was as addenly stopped as my dispensary,
by al. those who attended being arrested
and thrown into prison. We. thus see the
determination and power of the Govern
ment to prevent anything like public preach
ing OF the Gospel, but the Lord reign8, and
in His own good time will open and none
shall shut, this is our comfort.

The heavier Cross, the nearer heaven;
No Cross without, no God within.
Death, Judgment, from the heart are driven,
Amidst the worlds false glare and din.
O.! happy he, with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beneath the Cross!
The heavier Gross, the better Christian
This is the touchstone God applies;
How many garden would lie wasting,
Unwet by showers from weeping eyes!
The gold by FIRE is purified;
The Christian is by trouble tried.
The heavier Cross, the stronger faith;
The loaded palm strikes deeper root;
The vine juice sweetly issueth
When men have pressed the clustered fruit
And courage grows where dangers come,
Like pearls beneath the salt sea foam.
The heavier Cross, the hearter prayer;
The bruised herbs most fragrant are.
If wind and sky were always fair,
The sailor would not watch the star;
And David's psalms had never been sung.
If grief his heart had never Wrung.
v.
The heavier Cross, the more aspiring;
From wales we climb to mountain crest;
The pilgrim, of the desert firing,
Longs for the Canaan Of his rest.
The dove has here no rest in sight,
And to the ark she wings her flight.
The heavier Cross, the easier dying,
Death is a friendlier face to see;
To lfe's decay one bids defying,-
From life's distress one then is free.
The Cross sublimely lifts our faith
To Him who triumphed over death.
How Crucifed! The Cross I carry
The longer may it dearer be;
And lest faint whilst here tarry,
Impant thou such an heart in me,
That faith, hope, love may flourish there,
Till for my cross the crown | wear

THE SOUTH AS SEEN ABRoAD.-The Lon.
don Weekly Dispatch, of Sept. 21st, says of
the South in the present war: Never, we
assert with the utmost confidence, was there
known people so able in public affairs, so
heroic, so brave, so prudent, so devoted"
sit is quite evident that the resources of the
South must be prodigiOus-that the state
of society must be at least up to the stand
ard of the greatest and most enlightened
nations-that the culture of the people must
be severe, Self-denying and refined"

effects of such moral reform upon the
masses Of our population. One of the wisest
and best of mems was wont to say
"a Sabbath we'll spent brings a week OF content,
And health for the tolls of the morrow
While Sabbath prof4ned, what e'er may be gained,
Is a certain foferunner of sorrow"
However this may be, its needless prOfana-
ton by the Government in the transmission
and delivery and opening of the mails inter-
feres with the worship of God, withdraws
many from religious contemplation, deprives
others of moral and religious culture, and
furnishes an example of impiety which tends
to demoralige our people. The right mind
ed will readily distinguish between the usual
mail service which may be stopped one day
in seven without material detriment to any
one, and those works of necessity and charity
which may and ought to be done under the
Divine license, alt is lawful to do good on
the Sabbath day"

THE DIFFERENCE.--Adam's righteous
ness, if it had continued a thousand years,
might have been lost by sin; but Christ's
righteousness makes an end of sin, and so
makes a justified state endless. Thus secure
are those who are interested in Him by faith,
and who evidence the genuineness of it by
a life conformable to His will.
