Every anniversary of any denomina
tional Missionary Society, or monde
nominational society, such as thu
American and the British Foreign
/ Missionary societies, show an increase
of resources, with but few and occas
ional exceptions. Here is one way BIZ
which the Church of Christ is proving
its faith in the glorious gospel, by hel
works. In the investment of hel
means, and the facts justify her wis
dom In her outlay. In heathern coun.
tries professionals occupy 500 separate
mission fields, containing 10000 mis-
sion stations, supplied by 0,0eO mis-.
sionaries. In these 10000 mission
stations, there are 100000 Sunday
school scholars, an average of 25 to
each station. In the 10000 protestant
mission stations there are 1000, 900 oil
native communicates, or an average
of so to each station. There are also
100000 adherants who are friends OF
the evangelical faith and believers OF
the gospel preached from the Bible,
an average of 100 to each station and
yet the church believes that she has
only gotten her implements ready to

now she can travel more rapidly and
teach more thoroughly.

they visit prepare meals for them,
keep them from their regular wor-

thus disturb, and make them unhap.
by. Is the commandment of God set
aside for once, and occasionally for
our pleasure, or to save US dollar or
two; we cannot work to get money on
Sunday, but we can visit on Sunday,
and work to earn money on every
other day, cannot spare any other
time, but must rob Gods day to do
our visiting in, and yet profess before
the world to love God and to keep his
commandments, what falsehood !
What fearful liars some professedly
religious people are! suppose that
they think that the people have no
better sense than to think that they
are true good people. If they were
compelled to wear an questionable
hat or shabby coat, the question at
once would be, "Oh! what shall the
people think ?" But for their own
selfishness they can break Gods holy
day, and never once ask what do the
people think? or What does God
think? The people do think about it,
and God is grieved, and you, my
friend, must give an account to God.
Samuel Budget" The Successful
Merchant" IN whose employ for
many years, about 200 Workmen
found paying business, was noted
for industry and strict
christian business principles. Attach
ed to his works he had room provid-
ed for morning worship for all who
desired to attend it, gave all 80 minu-
ties to attend it. AT the end of each
day he rewarded every employee that
had been on time for work both
and at noon, with cash in
proportion to their daily earnings. At
the end of each Friday he rewarded
for competency in and attention to
the work, in cash such as he judged
worthy. On Saturday his employees
work ended at p. M, that all might
for the Sabbath, and at that
time each received his pay in cash,
and at the end of the year each en-
ployee got a proportion in the divi-
dend reckoned on the basis of the cash
he had received as his stipend and re-
wards. The result was that the en-
ployes delighted to have their en-
ployer pray with and for them on any
and frequently his heart was
warmed by the earnest prayers of his
workmen in his behalf. Are the en-
ployers and employees similarly
blessed in our community? If not,
why not? What an open field is here
for usefulness, who will enter it and
prove the good that one or a pen may
do in short life. All, can any one
who has the opportunity, afford to
live and miss it, and face the future ?
Our Minister to Korea, is one of the

now occupy many of our foreign posts,
His name is Hugh A. Dinsmore, he

him Minister of the United States and
Consul General to this little Kingdom.
His relations between the Court and
the Mobiles are good. He is strongly in
favor of the advance of Korea. His
residence is at Seoul, and it is the

The spirit of opposition in this coun-
try to the Chinese settling here, has
engendered strong feeling in China
against foreigners in general, and es-
pecially against Americans, whether
doing business there, or there as mis-
sionaries. This embittered spirit is
spreading there, and much uneasiness
is felt in several quarters lest the vio-
lation of the treaty rights of the two
countries by this country, and the
rough and cruel treatment of the
Chinese In some parts of this country,
shall result in the bloodshed of our
citizens there. If our ports are to be
shut against the incoming Chinese,
we can expect nothing but the closing
of her ports against US. If our govern
ment allows cruel treatment of them
here, what can we expect but that
bloodshed and murder should end the
life of our people there, missionaries
and all. "He that sheddeth mans
blood, by man shall his blood be she'd"
