The Bulletin Of the 10Th instan, had para

Christian mission Of this place. In the issue
Of the next day the Bulletin took back its as.
sertion fairly and squarely. It's reiraction was
handsomely made for that all praise. But the
assertion ought not to have been made unless
borne out by facts faithfully and fairly inyesti
gated. The report went forth and the re,rac.
tion could not undo the harm. I, is a very
common thing for street, and counting house,
and taP.room, and drawing-room dogmatis,s
to assert that Chinaman never was converted,
that the Chinese converts, so-called, are merely

but which can no more be proved than can the
dogma Of Immortality But a belief in inmor.
tality harms no one; an attack upon Christian
teaching does hur somebody. 1t hurts the
teacher and the taught. If we cannot believe
in the probability Of Chinese conversion, le,

occasional cruelty Of pinning it to the wall of
public notice, and permitting the majority of
island readers the luxury Of a no, ungenerous
laugh. Blu, it is as much the duty Of fair
journalism to acknowledge merit as it is to
travesty absurdity or refuie falsehood. So We
print with pleasure the following paragraph
which we thoroughly indorse:

Yesterday, IN gathering news about the various
parts OF the city, we counted nearly twenty
youths with cigarettes in their mouths and
their hands in their pockets, endeavoring to
keep IN the shade and stir about as little as
possible Mos, Of them looked as if they
needed recreation or something else, for they
were generally very pale and delicate in ap-
peaIance. But they cannot recuperate them
selves by merely lettering. What they need
IS exercise-lively, exciting, hard exercise

constantly doing something with henergy. When
there is work to be done, it should be done
