"the master of Abbotsford." Those
who do honor to Sir Walter SCOTS me.
mory do honor to themselves. In the
history of English literature, no charac.
ter so high as SCOTT appears. In him
the virtues of the man were blended
with the graoes and attachments OF the
writer, and it was his to illustrate in his
own life the noble qualities and the high
tone that he aet forth in his immortal
works. In his case, the brillianoy OF in
tellect WAS mellowed by the radiance OF
moral feeling. His life teaches lesson
most valuable to the young. He died
in the noble effort to meet obligations
that he had incurred, In 1926, by the
failure Of his publishers, he found him.
self indebted to the world In the sum Of
e120, 900. He forthwith devoted him
self to meeting this indebtedness, and
by four years Of inoessant toll, paid
thereto 9l00, 900, and paved the way to
the payment Of the residue. Great at
writer and poet, he was not less great as
q man. Another has well said:
II were to sum up, in few words,
the thoughts which q study of Sir Wal

pretending to render adequate justice to
the subject, because the topic is one
which should be approached with hum
bleness and diffdence, and would require
much time and care, would name these
as the points: mn
4. His absolute goodness OF heart.
q. His spotless integrity.
3. The romantic and picturesque at
mosphere and accessories OF hiH life.
4. His self-respect, his indomitable in
dustry and perseverance,.
s. His entire freedom from pretension
and sham.
6. His exquisite humor.
z. The brillianoy of his literary execu-
tion.
8. The wholesome charm which he ex-
'ercises over the Imagination, both as O
man and an artist.
8. The serene and tranquilizing spirit
of his works. t

Another step has been made in repara-
ton to the missionaries for losses sus.
tanned at Tien-tsin. The English mis-.
sionaries have been paid $500 taels, IL
stead of 8.925 taels, which they claimed,
and the Chinese have agreed to rebuild
the Catholic premises from plans to be
supplied by the French. to put over the
gateway the words Imperial gift" and
to erect in front tablet bearing the I'm.
perial edict, of which translation was
given on the Sth Of November Inst.
Great Importance is attached in China to
