Missions.

The Methodist Mission in Fuh- Chau is
blessed with a remarkable revival. The
Rev. STA Sex Ong, presiding elder, and
the native preacher are carrying on the
meetings. STA Sex Ong is a man of
power and influence and is developing,
we are told in the slips furnished from
the Mission Rooms, into "a thorough
going American revivalist." He breaches
every evening, closing his sermon by in
wiling those who are decided to be Chris
tians to come forward. The missionaries
are present to help. On one occasion
twelve persons came forward, one after
another, and three of the boarding-school
girls besides, who are from Christian
families. The theme of STA Sex Ong,s
sermon on certain Sunday morning
was: Christ the Living Bread sent
down from Heaven" He is the mama,
the food for a famishing world China's
spiritual condition was illustrated by the
horrors of the North China famine, when
men ate such UNBEATABLE things. Starving
China, he said, was eating, worshipping
the dead men of the past; but now that
Christ, the living bread, the satisfying
portion, has come, who would longer eat
the UNBEATABLE things of the past? at

pondent, land strangely moved the peo-
Pile A notable part of this work is the
interest taken in it by Mr.. Ahok, the
liberal Chinaman who has purchased
the bank building for the Methodist
Anglo Chinese College. He is man of
large business and brings from twenty to
thirty of his porters, clerks, and servants
to church regularly. Twelve of the col
lege students have united with the
church, only four of whom have Chris
tian parents. Indeed, only few remain
undecided, Mr.. Ohlinger writes: al
believe, if we had 800 students now, the
majority of them would yield to the
power of the Word at this time. The
most hardened, as we'll as some of our
newest accessions, seem unable to resist
to the mysterious influence" Thismove-
ment has naturally had good spiritual
effect upon the theological students The
revival efforts are not confined to Fuh-
Chau alone, but extend throughout the
whole Fuh-Chau district.

fessor Boyd Dawkins, believing in the
geological antiquity of man, would not
place his first appearance on the earth as
man at less than 100000 years; and if
that is not long enough to- produce any
appreciable physical change, how long
would it take to evolve man from an ape?
Why, vastly longer than the Glacial
epoch lasted, even upon DR.. Croll's ny
pothesis, for the eccentricity which was
supposed necessary to produce glacial
epoch had come and gone in less than
100000 years. If that period is not long
enough to produce an appreciable change,
100000 years added to it (Which is Croll's
estimate for the Glacial epoch) certainly
would not convert an ape into a man. l
am inclined, then, to say that Charles
Darwin's theory has absolutely broken
down.

Quiet Piety.

The more sound our experience, the
more quiet our piety, the more shall we
understand that " this is the will of God
even our sanctifcation. This is the
heaven we desire. We shall love it and
exult in it in proportion as we love God
and exult in God. Herein O. the chill
dren Of God have supreme taste for
likeness to God" this is their chosen
blessedness. The children of the devil
have no such taste. They desire the in
cidental benefits Of religion; such as es-
cape from hell, and from the dread of it.,
also support and consultations under sor-
rows OF life; but they must own that re-
nIoVaton Of nature and the restored
image Of God, awaken none Of their SEN
sl0llitles. The soul that is born again is
hlled with expectations, which. however
underlined, are at once spiritual and
glorious. Beloved, now are we The
sons Of God, and it doth not vet annear
what we shall be; but we know that
when He shall appear, we shall be like
Him, for we shall see Him as He is"
Dr,L ". 4lerander.

Ancient. Musical Instruments

A unique musical entertainment was
given recently at the Royal Conservatory
of Music at Brussels. This conservatory
contains In its museum the most complete
collection of ancient instruments in Eu-
rope. At the concert clavecins, epinettes,
and virginales, portable organs and regal
organs, violas di gambia, comets, GRO
mornas, and flutes douces were used.
The charming programme introduced all
of these Instruments, and nothing could
be more unique than the arrangement.
There was first sung a psalm of 1914,
melody by Bourgeois, words by Marot,
accompanied by regal organ of the six
teenth century, so-called from the first
specimen being offered to King. This
came from the Valley of Freuenfeld, in
Switzerland. 1t was small instrument,
the organist and blower sitting at op-
posite sides of it in full view of each
other. Transcriptions from "Acante ct
Cephise, )" by Rameau, (1751, } were played
upon four flutes, soprano, alto, tenor, and
bass. These flutes were very popular in
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries :;
even the ladies played upon them. The
only variety now in use is the fageolet.
The viola di gambia, an instrument of six
strings, accompanied by clavecin, with
two banks of keys, of the seventeenth
century, executed an aria by J. S. Bach,
of the sixteenth century, and a minuet
by Boccherini. The family of violas is
complete from the sixteenth century.
They have a greater number of strings
than the violin, that replaced these in
struments in the eighteenth century.
The sound of the instrument as played
had something uncommonly sweet and
original. -Four cromornas, the rarest in
struments that the Conservatory pos
sesses, date from the end of the sixteenth
century, and belonged to Alphonse
d Este, Duke of Ferrara. These instru-
ments existed complete from the fifteenth
century. They gave among other pieces
an air made at the siege of Hanover, in
1892, by Hatteterre. Following each
instrument as specified in the programme
is description taken from the catalogue
of the museum. The clavecin bris6 ac-
companied two songs of j. Lefevre,
163l) The catalogue of the museum also
shows that this clavecin is an invention

who made it about 1907, in box form, to
facilitate its transport in travelling,
whence comes the name clavecin du
voyage, that this curious instrument also
bears
An interesting feature of this concert
was the appearance of Mary Gemma, a
wonderful child artist Her mother and
father are English, but she was born in
Italy, and is prodigy Of musical talent.
She will soon be graduated from the class
of M. August Dupunte, the first professor
of piano music at the Conservatory, and
intends giving concerts afterward in Eu-
rope and America. This child artist
executed several charming selections Of
the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth
centuries on the clavecin in a brilliant
manner. There were Christmas songs of
the eighteenth century sung by young
girls, accompanied by an organ Of the
epoch Of Louis Kill, a sweet instru-

ment, and cornet of the sixteenth CEN
fury. 1t is said that Gluck is the last
composer who made use of the cornet in
the orchestra in his "Orpheus," played
the first time in 1869. The Queen of
the Belgians, accompanied by many noble
ladies and gentlemen, honored this de-
lghtful entertainment, and personally
congratulated the artists, especially the
petite Comma.

American Nerves.

Men prematurely bald, old, unable
to carry their liquor" and anxious be-
yond their face years, are getting con-
spicuously common in America The
slow sententious Yankee Of the stage is
becoming rare in the cities, and the cool
individual who offers the suspicious
stranger a cigar-hght stuck in the muzzle
of revolver is happily confined in Dead
wood Creek or Gouge Eye Gulch. The
women are more lovely than ever.
Their faces are the faces of angels
chiselled in marble; but the pallor
Is unhealthy, and the liveliness of the
American girl is, to great extent, in
cipient disease. 1t is, like their beauty,
part Of that nervousness which is afflict
ing their race. Their minds are un-
troubled by the cares of housekeeping,
for most of them live in hotels or in
boarding houses. In Europe they con-
tract dazzling marriages But they soon
fade; and while the English matron, and
even her sister of Canada, who leads
much the same kind of life, is still in her
prime, the once beautiful Ame71catme is
often lean hysterical hunter of health
resorts. The future is not pleasant
prospect. AS men of leisure depart
from the busy multitude, it is difficult to
see what they are to do with their
money. There is limit to the number
OF greenbacks which people can spend
on house, and even modest fortune is
cumbersome to carry about in diamonds
and watch chains. They can, of course,
always go to Paris; but a Tuileries
American, as this hybrid Gaul used to be
called In Napoleonic days, ceases to be an
American, while, if he stays at home, it is
hard to see how the rich average Repub-
lican is to spend his money in any other
way than that which has produced, and
is increasing, the nervousness of his race.
Competitive examinations, which will, in
time, add their worry to the endless vot-
ing and electing Of the present time, are
calculated to intensity the trouble But
for long the evil will be much noticed.
The country will be fortified by con-
tlnuous stream Of fresh-faced, simple
lived emigrants from "used-up Europe"
These will mingle with the humber ma
tlves, and, since the true-born Yankee of
New England and the "fust family"
Americans of the South are notorious for
the Hwness OF their children, will keen
up the population of the United States
Meantime, the learned folks, without the
fear Of patriotic papers before their eyes

say misfortune with no disrespect to
the managers of the event, but to
