IN their anxiety to depreciate Chris
tianity, some cultivated sceptics point to
Buddhism, and "The Light of ASIA" and
intimate that there is nothing nobler in
Christianity.
We see it stated that Buddhism is rap
idly dying out in Japan. Since 1878, in
a single district, II temples have been
diverted to secular uses, and throughout
the empire it is estimated that in nine
years past 700 temples have been thus
secularized.
How is this to be accounted for? How
is that every form of paganism-from the
gods of Greece to the no-gods of Japan
goes down before Christianity? Is it
the survival Of the fttest"?
The missionaries are often told, Your
religion is true and good, and it will pre-
vail. Our children will accept it, but we
cannot change our customs or break from
our old faith"

The rain has come after the long
drought. We all knew it would come.
On what was this confidence based?
If it should not rain for year all over
the world, the world would end so far as
terrestrial life is concerned.
Is it chance that keeps up the supply,
and the regular supply, of rain?
Is the world "a fortuitous concourse of
atoms"2
Is there no method in the course of ma
ture? What supplies this method2
MIR. Spencer says he does not know.

PROF. SWING (author of the article on
The Failure of the Southern Pulpit
declared in recent sermon that Indefi-
niteness is to be the quality of the coming
Christianity" The advance heralds of
this new gospel he stated are Henry
Ward Beecher, Canon Farrar, Dean Stan
ley, and Matthew A7mold These teach
ers, he said, care filed with the spirit
and the words of indefniteness. He ex-
horted his hearers as follows: Dream
not, my friends, that the exact teachings
of the olden schools will establish your
ways. In vague Christianity only can
you find peace"
This is as clear as mud, and is pretty
hard on Canon Farrar and Dean Stanley.
1t is the broadcast" platform we have
seen yet. Your creed must consist of
articles that do not mean anything in
PARTICULAR sort of resonant nothing
ness. 1t is in religion what Tennyson is
in poetry: A

CHINA is coming along. The govern
ment has decided to construct system
of Geographic communication between
Pekin and Shanghai. The bringing of
China into full and free intercourse with
other nations will be as great an event as
the settlement of America by Europeans.
It's world in itself. 1t is not generally
known that the tendency of modern eth
biological research is to recognize very
intimate ethnic connection between the
Mongol (Turanian) family and the Aryan
(India. Persia, and Europe) family. Both
seem to be Japhetic.
China now possesses nearly thirty war
vessels, built after European models, and
commanded by officers trained abroad.
They have also discarded their ancient
weapons, and have cannon of the most
approved type, some of them manufac-
tured abroad, some cast in their own
arsenals at home. Five steamers now
navigate their rivers and coasts in place
of their old junks.
Their custom-house is managed by
European and American officers. Chinese
students are at college in various parts of
Europe and America. A Chinese steamer
has made the voyage from that country
to San Francisco.
The missionaries now preach the Cos
pei in many Chinese towns without mo-
lestation, and considerable impression has
been made on the public mind.

error fortified at every point and most
ingeniously adapted to hold men in
spiritual bondage,-but the Importance
of missionary effort in papal lands, as a
means of awakening the people to Just
views of the nature of the gospel, as a
means of working reform in existing
religious institutions, if nothing more is
accomplished, is more and more evident
after each years experience.

We clip the following from an e1-
change:
when Christian becomes Indifferent
about sanctifcation, matters are going
wrong with him. Much more is this the
case when he inwardly has disgust for
hearing or reading of holiness, as if this
were something about which only fanatics
talk and with which a sober Christian
has nothing to do. There is great need
of self-examination where such state of
mind exists, and not little ground for
alarm"

We hear a great deal about the non
improperly of patronizing the theatre.
What about Sarah Bernhard? They
will go to hear her by thousands-the
very incest sort of people-the creme de
la creme of our city society ;-all the fine
carriages in New York will be strung out
before the place where she exhibits
Those who demur will be voted bores,
and we shall have the usual twaddle
about high art.
There may be some such case on record,
but we do not know one in all the history
of the theatre, and the opera may be in
cluded, where any actor or singer of dis
tinction was an average Christian Name
the case. And if this be so, there must
be some radical irreconcilability between
the two things.

The fashionable uptown theatre, which
is nearest to the residences of the wealth
lest citizens Of New York, is said to be
the most intensely Partisan of all. The
London Ne10s describes its leading fea-
lures as "a stage crowded with girls, in
attire as limited as indecenoy can achieve,
Ainging their limbs about to music as
noisy and as rapid as the baton of the
conductor can strike out Of the orchestra
under his control"
The New York Sun, referring to the
performance Of new piece at this thea
ire, speaks Of the most disreputable and
indecent Of all the French dances being
received with such delight that the audi
ence were not contented mthom o. double
repetition, and that I" it was very evident
that large part Of the audience would
have joined in it if they could"

DEATH OF A LIBERAL BENEFAcToR OF
UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.-On
the LIST of November, departed this life
at Collierstown, Rockbridge county, Va,
Mr.. Joseph B. Wilson, aged about seventy
years. He was communicate of the
Presbyterian church at Collierstown, and
died in the enjoyment of the Christian
hope exemplifed in his life.
Mr.. Wilson was not born to af1uence,
but by life of industry, prudence, and
strict economy, he accumulated hand
some estate. For several years before his
death, his mind was much exercised with
the question: what disposition shall 1
make of my property SO that it may be
the means of accomplishing the greatest
good in the world2" Having no family
to provide for, he determined to appro-
pirate it to some form of Christian benev-
olence for the spread of the gospel. After
long and anxious inquiry, he decided to
employ it in the founding of scholarships
in Union Theological Seminary, to aid
students who should be unable to defray
their expenses whilst pursuing their pre-
paratory course of training for the min
istry. Accordingly, some years since, he
made to the Seminary gift of $12,5o0
for this purpose. During the month of
October last, he added to this sum S., 800,
making, at the same time, special dona-
ton to Hampden Sidney College of$1 900.
In his will he bequeathes to the Theolog-
ical Seminary, for the same purpose, his
entire estate remaining at his death. 1t
is not known how much the estate will
yield; but it is believed by those best in
formed on the subject, that it will amount
to $4,000, and may exceed that sum.

M. de Pressens6 says that the pres
ent experience Of the Reformed Church of
France proves that it is impossible TO be indie
pendent and at the same time receive the sup
port Of the State to be an evangelical and yet
an Established Church" The present Minister
Of Public Worship is a Freethinker, and has de-
termined that in the elections for the members
Of the Synod no religious conditions or qualif-
cations shall be demanded-that the Orthodox
and the Liberal the Calvinist and the Socinian,
shall stand on the same level The Minister
insists that Professionalism shall be so managed
that the church shall be opened to all varieties
Of opinion, and by his action he has thrown
open the doors. The Evangelical party will
probably be placed in the minority in the cleo
tions, which are ordered to be held in March,

THE Rev. DIR. N. G.. Clark, Foreign
Secretary of the American Board of Mis-
sions, said at the recent annual meeting
of the Board at Lowell, Mass:
eat Bombay, new interest is mani
fest among Mohammedans, who come in
large numbers to public religious SER
vices. Brahman youth who are being
educated by the government, attend the
Sabbath Schools in Ahmednuggur, con-
Quoted by native Christians, under the
care of Mrs. Hume. In SAHARA a hun
dred native boys of various castles, some
in costumes indicative of rank and
wealth, and some in almost entire I'M
dress, sit en- the bare floor side by side,
and listen, Sabbath after Sabbath, to the
story of the cross. The facts show a
surprising change in the popular senti-
ment as compared with that of former
years. The awakening reported last
year among the Tamil population of
South India, which the Madura Missions
shared, has been proved to be genuine
work Of grace by the permanence of its
results. A very few have gone back
to heathenism, while their places have
been more than filed by the accession of
others to the churches and to the Chris
tian community. In Ceylon much has
been done to bring the truths of the Cos
pei to the hearts of the people by per-
sonal labor with individuals at their
homes, in addition to the ordinary religi-
Gus services. Everything seems ready
for a great awakening, waiting only
the quickening influences of the Holy
Spirit. "
Referring to missionary effort in Papal
lands, DR.. Clark said
"The opposition to the gospel in papal
lands continues as bitter as ever, while
the methods in which it is expressed diff
fer according to the intelligence of the
people and the degree of violence that
may be INDUCED with IMMUNITY. In
Mexico, at village near Guadalajara,
on the first Sabbath Of August last
fanatical mob was Infatuated by the
and personal presence and in
auence of the priest, to attack little
of Protestants with stones and
firearms, killing a most worthy native
preacher and severely injuring fellow
church-member, while the rest of the
party escaped. 1t is estimated that
within a period of ten years no less than
one hundred Protestants have fallen
victims to violence in Mexico. Violence
is seldom resorted to in Spain, though
faithful colporters touring in the coun-
try districts are never wholly safe.
Social ostracism and intrigue, and such
as unfriendly local authori-
ties can interpose, are the usual resort.
In Austria the forms Of law carefully de-
vised for the purpose are found adequate
greatly to embarrass when insufficient
wholly to restrain evangelical effort.
Still the work goes on. The leaven of
the gospel works its changes in individ-
ual hearts and lives. Churches of living
Christians are gathered. The opposition
advertises the presence and influence Of
the missionary, and thus prepares the
ground for the sowing Of the good seed
of the word. Progress is slow against
the greatest odds,-against system Of
