Like liquid gold the wheat-field lies,
A marvel of yellow and russell and green,
That ripples and runs, that floats and flies,

The vast plain flames on the daZzled eye
Under the fierce suns alchemy.
The slow hawk stOops

A riot of shadow and shine,

minded men and women who are
bent, not upon amusing themselves,
but upon improving the world around
them. Cynics may still talk con-
temptuously Of "the bray Of Exeter
Hail." yet English history would
have a very different and a far less
satisfactory record than.It has IT the
spirit of piety and dutifulness which
Exeter Hall encourages and exem-
pliGes had been altogether withdrawn
from it. Every "propitious May"
that comes round shows us some one
feature in the religious meetings as
specially prominent for the time
being. This year the "note" of the
missionary societies. annual reunions
is a spirited defence against the rash
critic who objects TO the way in
which missions are now conducted.
Il. must be confessed that a good
deal of complaining has been heard
in the land as to the result of the
eVangeIising efforts Of Church and
Nonconformity. There has been Of
late a tendency to count up accu-
rately all the pounds, shiIlings, and
pence which form the income OF the
various missionary societies, and
then 10 divide the result by the mum
Der of converts. OF course, when
regarded in this way missionary
effort appears a highly expensive
luxury, and the cost of a convert
almost out of proportion to the
amount of gold spent in rescuing
him from spiritual darkness. 1t is,
however, perfectly obvious that to
look at missionary results in this
light is TO adopt a wholly inadequate
test. The height of each individual
billow is not the question. the point
Of importance is whether the tide of
Christianity is slowly, though almost
imperceptibIy, rising on the shores
Of heathendom. And, whatever may
be thought # the attacks which
have been levelIeG, as for example
by Mr.. Game, at the success of mis-
eiOns. there is at least no doubt that
criticism seems to be q discipline
which suits the missionary societies
very well. They thrive on dispa-
rHgement. II was the Baptist mis-
sions against which Mr., Game direc-
ted his darts, and yesterday it was
announced at the missionary meet

total receipts for the year were x

In fairness, we must acknowledge
the enormous difficulties which con-
front proselytising efforts in cOuNtries
like India, the seats of an ancient CT
vilisation and a hostile creed support
ed by a complete ecclesiastical Orga-
nisation. It is different in virgin
countries like those parts OF Central
Africa where Mohammedanism has
not spread its influence; or like the
Sandwich Islands, to which sixty
years ngo a band Of devoted American
missionaries set sail from Boston and
converted the barbarous inhabitants

not be despisod when it can take a

Natural disgust has been express

country and then thinking himself

the missionaries who have lived and
toiled there for twenty Or thirty
years. One indignant friend of mis-
sions even went so far as to advise
the critics not TO "teach their grand
mothers how to suck eggs" The
subject of how missionaries ought TO
live came up again for discussion at
yesterdays Baptist gathering. The
secretary, Mr.. Baynes, so eminent a
figure 10 the denomination, thought
that nothing ought to be demanded
from missionaries, in the way OF
abandonment of comforts, that was
not also surrendered by ministers at

This is one way OF looking at the
problem; yet is it not possible to
conceive of certain changes in our
missionary treatment of natives which
would conduce to a greater percent
age of converts! If pony carriage
be an ESSENTIAL Of mission life, by all
means let these pioneers of European
morals enjoy it. The ideal missionary,
however, whom everybody has in his
mind is the man who will do with as
few of these luxurious adjuncts as
possible and who will really devote
himself heart aud soul to the re-
cIamati0n of the savage souls around
him. 1t may not be IL good and use
full thing for English missionaries in
India to debase themselves TO the
level of a travelling "fakir," to live On
rice in the bazaars and don a turban,
but is it wiseOf them to emphasize the
fact that they too belong to the con-
quering, dominant race, and to make
it difficult for the natives to see any
difference between them and the Bri-
fish officer or the British merchant
OF course, nobody wishes them to sa-
crifce the health or welfare of their
families. There was an instance of
rare devotion mentioned by one
speaker yesterday, where a missionary
had actually returned TO the Society
that had sent him out three.quarters
of his salary. Such a seIf-denying
act may not be worldly wise yet the
spirit that dictated it is that which
has planted Christian nifty all over the
world as the greatest moral force in ex-
istence. The proposal to cut down the
salaries of missionaries, and TO force
them to go to their distant stations
by cheap modes of transit, does not
seem to find much favour in Baptist
circles. What was wanted, it was
declared, was good men; and the

THE GRAND JURY's WORK.
It's Investigations Have Made Lively
Stir in Many Quarters.

to-day9 Will the Percy Moulden' inquiry
result in indictments against any of the
boys for election servicesl VIII any of the
saloon keepers be prosecuted for keeping
open on election day. are questions that are
heard on every hand.
The grand jury will convene at o'clock
this afternoon. At the furthesS there can
remain but four more working days of the
term after to-day, as there must be five
days between the close of the present term
and the March term, which will convene
one week from next Monday.
The present grand jury has had an I'M
usual volume of work on its hands. 1t In
quired into no less than five killing cases,
the Yamacraw riot cases, the usual number
of various offenses such as are incident to
every term, and in addition to this it has
had an experience such as is rare with
grand juries, in its investigations into
bribery at elections, the fictitious INSIDE
meanor of a visionary percy Moulden"
opening wide the bars for a sweeping in
curry into the means and methods of look
ing after the colored vote at two recent
elections.
The refusal of many witnesses to testify
in tue election briberies on the ground that
il might crimluate themselves, it is be-
lieved, has operated to make 1t difficult II
not next to impossible, to trace the matter
home to any one, although there is an I'M
easiness in more than one quarter, for it is
not known what information the grand
jury may have obtained from some Of the
witnesses who had no such excuse to refuse
to answer the interrogatories Of Foreman
Taliaferro, who was the chief questioner,
and other grand jurors. Until the final
report is handed in, the feeling of unrest
among "the boysn will not have passed
away. II no indictments should be found
against them, the investigation will have
given them good scare, and future cleo
tons will hardly be as malodorous as the
last two which the court so strongly inn
pressed the jury with the duty of inquiring
into.
Besides the work of the grand jury above
enumerated, the usual inquiry, by sub-com-
mittees, into the departmental affairs of
the county has been made, and when it is
finally discharged, it will bring sigh of
relief from every member OF the jury who
will devoutly pray that he may escape such
arduOus service hereafter.
