NOTHING succeeds like success. -
Now that Missions are beginning to bear
their fruit the secular world begins to
talk about them little differently. We
all know how they were formerly deri-
ded how in certain quarters their mea-
gre results used to be held up as an evil
dence of their folly. But now great
daily (the N. Y. Times speaks of them as
follows
The missionary word, which is growing
larger and larger, embraces interests now Of
immense Importance The onGerful success
wrought in Turkey, India, China, Japan,
Africa and its outlying islands, and the South
seas, stimulate the Churches to raise more
money, and lead to larger efforts and increasing
results in the field. Eleven societies increased
their totals of communicates in connection with
their foreign missions the past year by about
twenty-five thousand. The great Central AT
rlcan missions still maintain their ground, if
they do not make much advance while in
Turkey, India, China, Japan and other coun-
tries the past twelve months have brought about
great results. Surely the Church has abundant
encouragement to enter with new zeal into the
missionary work"

chronology.
We may add that the parallels above
given are drawn from modern times and
Christian states. Perhaps we may APP.
proximate more nearly to the state o.
things which existed in Egypt by taking
the dynasties and kings of the Babylon,
ian empire as given by Berosus during
the historical period, That is to say, from
the Second to the Eighth Dynasty, COW
ering the period from B. G. 2459 to B. c.
53S. For this period of 1920 years Be-
rosus gives 1872 kings whose reigns would
average about 143 years.
1t may be objected that the Babylon
ian chronology of Berosus is no more re.
liable than that of Egypt; this may be
true, and we may have to discard both
but the chronology of the Assyrian and
Chald@an kings of the Seventh and Eigth
Dynasties is well observation-disclosures B. c.
TAT to B. G. 539. For this period of 2O9
years there were ii kings, beginning
with Tiglath-pileser II. and ending with
Nabonadius. The average reign was
about Is years.
The kingdom of Persia affords us an
other example from antiquity with which
we may compare the rulers of Egypt.
We have from Cyrus (B. G. 559) to the
battle of Arbela (331 B. c. 227 years,
and II kings; then gap when Persia was
dependent on the Greek empire of the
Seleucid@; then from B. G. $50 to A. D.
226 Dynasty of the Arsacide) 476 years,
and 81 kings; then from A. D. 226 to
A. D. GAL Dynasty of the Sassanide),
AIS years, and 25 kings. That is to say,
in Ills years 81 kings. Their reigns
averaged less than II years.
If the Egyptian rulers safe upon the
throne no longer than the Babylonian
and Persian, the figures above given for
the duration of the Egyptian monarchy
must be still further reduced.
DR.. Brugsch made this mistake: he
assumes an unbroken ineal descent from
father to son throughout the whole period
of the Egyptian monarchy; now kings do
not succeed each other in this way the
hneal succession is frequently broken,
and the king is succeeded by his brother,
or uncle, or cousin, or there is perhaps
violence in the palace, and some one
usurps the throne,

the western world in the seventeenth century

times after that, but for more than hundred
years no one from the western world had visited
them when Dr. Martin went there in 1886.

twenty centuries the laws and rites of the He

IT READS little curiously that statue
OF Baal discovered in the sand at Gaza(?)
has been offered for sale to Mayor La

parks. The price of the god is small
(only $500, but considerable expense
would be involved in transporting him
to this country. The statue is Is feet
high, and weighs $4,000 pounds. The
subject was brought to the attention of
Mayor Latrobe by Mr.. john Baldwin
Hay, formerly United States Consul
General at Beirut. Mr.. Latrobe did not
think the city of Baltimore would pay
for the transportation and suggested that
the United States Government bring it
over in one of the national ships for the
