All this amending has been done on

Gates are spreading so much among Ar
minians, and that every year a greater
or less number seek admission from
Methodist churches. Calvinism is. ap
parently, more attractive now than
formerly, so that proselytes from Ar
minian churches can, in the shortest
imaginable time, pass from Wesley's
Notes to the Confession of Faith with
all it's stern rightly. This is very graf
flying, and our faith in Calvinism leads
us to believe that if it were properly

find them coming to US in still greater

MISSIONS A SUccEss.-The following
deeply interesting statement is made
by the North China Daily NeOs:
Recently very remarkable devel-
opment of Christian activity is said to
have taken place. A number of native
converts have, of their own accord,
volunteered to go as Christian mission
aries to Corea. A very wealthy old
Fukien gentleman, himself recent
convert, has given generous support to
the undertaking; and in a few days
the little band of devoted men intend
to start to their field of labor under the
tutelage of Rev. Mr.. Wolfe. The
high estimation in which the Chinese
appear to be held in Corea will no
doubt do something to pave the way
for the missionaries from Fukien; and
it is to be hoped that the apparently
receptive nature of the Corean DISPOSE
ton will help to facilitate the work.
AS far as we know this is the fist in
stance of any Chinese Christians leav-
ing their own country to spread Chris
tianity among other nations. We think
the fact sufficiently interesting and
unique to merit a passing notice; for
it shows that even the apathetic China,
man can be aroused to unselfsh enthu-
siasm under certain influences, and
gives good promise of energy in mis-
sion work on the part of the Chinese,
as nation, when they shall have been
brought more extensively under the
dominion of Christianity than is the
case at present"
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1886-08-04
A CHANGE OF FRONT.

Eighty-fve years ago the Directors
of the Honorable the East India Com
pany placed on solemn record, in for
NAL memorial to the British Parlia-
ment. "their decided conviction" after
consideration and examination, that
"the sending of Christian missionaries
into our Eastern possessions is the
maddest, most extravagant, most ex-
pensive, most unwarrantable project
that was ever proposed by lunatic
enthusiast"
And so thought the Edinburgh Re
UieW.
But the present Lieutenant Governor
of Bengal, Sir Rivers Thompson, a few
months since, said: "In my judgment,
Christian missionaries have done more
real and lasting good to the people of
India than all other agencies combined
They have been the salt Of the country
and the true saviours of the Empire"
Missions are beginning to tell Some
one writes that in Japan it is a repeti-
ton of the Acts of the Apostles"
There is not on record more strik-
ing example of patient aoork than that
afforded by the history of missions in
India. 1t certainly did seem an almost
hopeless project in the days of Henry
Martyr. But "they that SOW in tears
shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth
and weepth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoic-
ing. bringing his sheaves with him."
1t is not generally known that from
1892 to 1912 the missionaries were &C
tually prohibited to work in India.
That was the temper of the British
Government in the days of the younger
Pitt. Sydney Smith, as referred to
above, ridiculed Christian missions in
the Edinburgh ReUte,o, and character
ised the missionaries as Il" the maniacs
who were sent out to spread over the
fine regions Of the world the most un-
just and contemplate opinion of the
gospel" The Rev. Sydney was an
English gentleman and clergyman, and
his idea Of the gospel was that it was
pity to spoil a fine country like India
with the sentiments Of evangelical re-
ligion Even the Scottish National
Assembly declared a motion to discuss
the question as to the duty. Of the
Church with regard to missions to be
fanatical and absurd, and as late as
1852 the sum of s375O,OOO was paid
out Of the British treasury for the re
pairs Of pagan temples in India, and
for new idolcars for the priests, must
clans, painters, and dancing women.
Sydney Smiths objection to mission
work Gas put in his wellknown article
in the Edinburgh ReUtei0 in the year
1909, was that "the duties Of CONVEX
sion appear to be Of less importance,
when it is impossible to procure proper
persons {. undertake them (our italics),

The Buffalo Christian AdvocatS 4 f

The Buffalo Christian Advocatsa few
weeks ago told of a popular clergyman
who startled dull prayer meeting by
announcing that he didn't propose to
act as umpire for sleeping-match."
But how did this popular clergyman
come to have such dull prayer meet
ing? Bishop Warren, when about to
read the appointments at recent Con-
ference, said: al am sending by far the
greater part of you to better appoint
ments than you had last year; for l
am sending most of you to the same
appointments you have had, and if
they are not better than they were
year ago there is cause for serious re-
Election on your parts" So we may
say of the popular clergyman, that if
his prayer meeting was dull there was
cause for serious reflections On hispart.
a live minister, who gives .thoGg fts and
study to his prayer meetingssafd seeks
earnestly to awaken and keep up
hearty interest in it, will seldom have
a dull meeting, or find reason to de-
nominate it a sleeping match but
careless or Indifferent leadership will
kill prayer meeting as expeditiously
as any other cause.-N. Y Christian
