THEN AND NOW IN FIJI.

Gordon Cumming writes of the isl
ands in the South Seas:
ssThink of the sick buried alive;
the array of widows who were delib-
erately strangled on the death of any
great man; the living victims who
were buried beside every post of a
chiefs new house, and must needs
stand clasping it, while the earth was
gradually heaped over their devoted
heads; or those who were bound
hand and foot, and laid on the
ground to act as rollers, when a
chief launched a new canoe, and
thus doomed to death of excruciat-
ing agony; a time when there was
not the slightest security for life or
property, and no man knew how
quickly his own hour of doom might
come; when whole villages were de-
populated simply to supply their
neighbors with fresh meat.
''Just think of all this, and of the
change that has been wrought, and
then just imagine white men who can
sneer at missionary work in the way
they do. Now you may go from isle
to isle, certain everywhere to find the
same cordial reception by kindly men
and women. Every village on the
eighty inhabited isles has built for
itself tidy church, and a good house
for its teacher or native minister, for
whom the village also provides feed
and clothing. Can you realize that
there are nine hundred Wesleyan
churches IN FIJI, at every one of
which the frequent services are
crowded by devout congregations ;
that the schools are well attended !;
and that the first sound which greets
your ear at dawn, and the last at
night is that of hymn-singing and
most fervent worship, rising from
each dwelling at the hour of family
prayer?"

DOING ONES OWN WORK.

"Never mind what he's doing, at
tend to your own work" but he's
putting his machine all out of gear ;
he'll ruin it, 1.-THE superintendent
will see to that-mind you your
work. And so he went back to his
work and did it we'll and earned his
wages. So it is in churches. Men
are too busy watching other peoples
work and machinery to do their own
properly. And now we propose, as
an experiment, that every man and
woman begin by doing modestly
what first comes, and with faith and
hope build up their own souls, and
labor for the impenitent around them.
There are too many in our own FAM
lilies who need the word in season
and the faithful, believing prayer.
What an impression would be made
if each one of us could see the con-
version of one soul-sister, brother,
child, friend, neighbor. Direct pray
er for one, leads to effort for one,
and the Lords power is not limited
to scores, or hundreds, or thousands.
But hundreds and thousands are
made up of individuals, and the re-
demption of each soul is precious.
There is perhaps too much talk now
of the question of salvation and shall
all be saved or lost at once, or will
there be further probation? The op-
posing opinions and arguments show
that the question cannot be settled.
And what matter? There is too
much stress laid upon the mere safe
ty of the soul. That, no doubt, is
precious, but the great point is the
living to God, the making the whole
of this life school of preparation
for another. Even if it were prom
ised in some way that soul should
be saved in the end, we need be none
the less Jealous that the life be given
to the service of Christ. Therefore
we say, 'Arise, arise good christian y
and be faithful to individual souls.
"Save with fear,-pulling them out
of the fire. - Some years ago child
of christian parents said to friend
"You are the first person who has
ever spoken to me directly on the
subject of personal religion" My
brethren, these things ought not Sc
to be. ''Speak to that young man.
Let US try if personal faithfulnes'
will not bring the revival we seek anC
need so much. Christian Reid.

INSTANT IN SEASON.

At one of the Friday night boys
meetings in the Tabernacle lad of
about sixteen years, an orphan boy,
was the first to lead prayer. His
testimony, shortly afterwards, was
noticed by all forats earnestness and
words of encouragement to those
just starting in christian life, and
seemed to come from one who was
we'll advanced in the way, although
it was but a year since he began.
At the ''after-meeting he was OBJ
served to be busily engaged in lead
ing the young enquirers to the Saw
Jour, and in the last one to whom he
spoke he showed an unusual interest.
After the rest were gone we FASTENED
to speak to one who seemed likely to
make an excellent worker in the
meetings, and with heart full of in
terest he made plans for the next
weeks work. Sunday evening two
boys came to one of the workers,
and the elder said: 'sHere's a boy
that's found Jesus Il am glad to
hear that; and where was it that you
found him ?" 'sRight here, sir, in the
room," said the little fellow, earnest
"; and then, in a husked voice. he
added, "and the boy that talked anG
prayed with me, and led me to Jesus
was killed Saturday morning" In
quiries were made, and it was learn
