MISSIONS.

The Rev. VIM. Lloyd, of the English
Church Mission at Foochow, mentions,
with gratitude to God, the perfect free
dom which missionaries now enjoy in
preaching the gospel in nearly all parts
OF China. Certainly very great changes
have taken place in the empire in this
respect.
"A cofee-house has been opened in
Consta ntinople as a centre of gospel work.
On its outer walls is painted in Arabic
the words, "Come unto me all We that
are weary and heavy-laden and l will
give you rest" The lady director of it
speaks four languages, she having been
employed as col porteur by the Bible So
cietles. During the two months in which
1t has been open more than a hundred
Bibles, Testaments, or Psalms in various
languages have been sold A Black Sea
pirate, who has been converted through
the agency Of the preaching of Greek
in the reading-room, is now a student.
The native Christians of Cawnpore
are exhibiting an aggressive phase of
Christian activity that is hopeful indi-
cation. Of their own accord they have
established Sunday School for nominal
Christian children of whom there are
great many in Cawnpore They have
added this piece of evangelistic work to
their other work and manage it them
selves.
There are six hundred and ten Chi
namen on the rolls of Sabbath Schools in
New York and Brooklyn, of whom forty
are protested Christians, and twenty more
are believed to be Christians. One young
Chinaman refused to work on the Sab
bath, at the peril of losing a good posi-
ton, and generally the converts do not
shrink from self-denial and trouble.
-EUamgelica1 Cbristendona says of the
work in Eastern Turkey There has been
a growth in all departments of mission
work during the past year. A greatly
increased interest in education has been
developed among the Armenians; the
schools have increased in attendance, and
improved in quality. The objection to
education comes almost wholly from the
Turkish Government, which fears that
too much education will develop too
great a spirit of Independence but
strong organization has been formed hay
ing for its object the introduction of i'm
proved schools In different parts OF the
country. This IS an encouraging sign
II not an indication, at least forerunner
OF progress. A wealthy Armenian resid-
ing In st. Petersburg has set apart some
thing like 100000 to found for his coun-
trymen an institution answering to Ger
man gymnasium. Ten years ago he sent
seven young Armenians to Germany to
be educated, as preliminary step. Most
OF them have now returned, and recently
began to lay the fundation of a new in
sstltutlon, to be located at Erzeroum. 1t
is proposed, if Government approval can
be secured, to erect building at cost
OF about $4,000; the work of education
will be begun with twenty-five Armenian
boys, chosen from different parts of the
country.

How to Make the Aged Happy

Much of the restlessness of old age
would be prevented if the children or
other guardians would become more con-
siderate of the special needs of LIES
evening tide. First see to it that the
aged have something to do. The weari-
some thing to them is the inactivity that
succeeds their days of business and home
responsibilities. A recent writer in one
of our exchanges has well said that we
often Cypress our dear aged friends with
mistaken kindness and really unkind af-
lection. Our extreme care over them
often does them harm.
We say, 1.-THE dear old people need
rest now, and they shall have it," but
we forget that inactivity is not rest. 1t
begets the most disturbing restlessness.
Our most careful watchfulness in this d.
rection soon brings serious worry and
the unwelcome sense of oppression. The
writer above referred to states the case
very strongly, but none the less truth
fully, in saying that the old positively
dislike this over-careful supervision and
that the tender watchfulness which to
us seems due to their physical feebleness,
as well as fit return for their care of us
in earlier days, is by them resented as a
restraint. 1t annoys them.
Then, too, we try to take all the work
out of their hands, and that they do not
like. Nobody, who has been active and
useful, enjoys the feeling of being laid on
the shelf.
Grandfather's step is uncertain, his
arm less vigorous than of old, but he
possesses a rich treasure of experience,
and he likes to be consulted. 1t is his
privilege to give advice; his privilege,
too, at times to go into the field and
work with the youngest, renewing his
youth as he keeps bravely up with hearty
men half his age
Grandmother does not want to be left
out of the household work When the
days come for picking and preserving,
and the domestic force is pressed into the
service, who so eager and full of interest
as she ? 1t is cruel to overrule her de-
cisions, to put her aside because "she
will be tired" Of course she will be
tired, but she will enjoy the fatigue, and
rest the sooner for the thought that she
is still of use in the world
To those whose homes are honored by
the presence of an aged parent we would
say, Deal very gently with those who are
on the downhill of life. Your own time
is coming to be where they now are.
You, too, are stepping westward "
Soothe the restlessness of age by amuse-
ment, by consideration, by non-interfer-
ence, and by allowing plenty of occupa-
ton to fall into the hands that long for it.
Only let it be of their own choosing, and
cease to order their ways for them as
though they were children. ga hoary
head at the Preside is crown of glory to
the house where it dwells The blessing
of the aged is as dew on the pastures
as the falling Of sunlight in a shadowy
place"

To q Beauty.
BY C II. CRANDALL.

When we pass by flower on our way,
Does it matter at all if we say
That it's winsome and fair,
And it perfumes the air,
And it's beauty enrches the day?
No. a rose is rose all the same,
Though we give it our praise or our blame,
For it's charm is complete,
And it lives to be sweet,
And so tits with her that name.
How forgetful was Fame not to tell us
That boon in her coming befell us;
How her exquisite face
Was forgot in her grace,
How her violin like voice could so quell us
SO wish and blessing send her,
May the angels and fairies attend her,
And turn every dart
AS she journeys apart
With her beauty alone to defend her.
