The yiceroy of Chih-i province Ii Hung
Chang, is leading statesman in China.
His official residence is in Tientsin. Not
long since, as the veteran missionary, the
Rev. DR.. Edkins, was passing through that
city, he was favored with an interview
with the viceroy, in which there was much
conversation regarding Christian missions.
In reply to inquiries of the Viceroy, Dr.
EHlyinc stated fbot
Roman Catholic converts and $4,000 Pro

The higuer criticism, so far as the real
da lger to Biblical truth is concerned,
mi hit not he unsuitablv lii ened to the lions
which were such a terror to Bunyan's pill
grim until he approached sufficiently near
to see that they were chained. We do not
champion this school of critics, but we do
not like to see any person terrified without
cause. We would be glad to have the stu
alton frankly understood. The essential
yerities of the Bible have not been dis
turbed by criticism-indeed, can not be;
but the higher criticism, with its searching
gaze, has dispelled false theories that were
put forward by skeptical writers against
the integrity of the Scriptures.-Zton's
Herald q
The Church of To-day (P. e. says:
"Eather Huntington, the son of the sanity
bishop of central New York, had but Just
returned to his work on the east side when
the daily print announced his presence
among the strikers at Streator, H., where
he had gone to help allay the turbulent ele-
meut among the strikers. Father Hunting
ton is lin self a Knight of Labor, and the
dispatches tell US that when he spoke to the
western miners, they listened to his words
of wisdom and cody counsel and withdrew
at once violent ana extreme statements
that had been put forth. The influence of
this selfdenying minister of Christ among
workingmen is very great. Here in this
big city he is known in nearly every labor
organization, and the workingmen put i'm
plicit confidence in his word, for they feel
that in him they have a true and steadfast
friend. Would that there were more of our
clergymen who took such an interest in the
great social questions of the day."
INTOLERANCE.
If there be men of thought and learning
who can accept without hesitation the whole
of Christianity as popularity taught land
many clever men maintain that the whole
thing, from Genesis to the Revelation,
stands or falls together), men to whom the
fall, the flood, the life and still more tho
deathbed of "the man after Gods own
heart" (''God the same yesterday, to-day,
and forever'D, Elijah and Elisha, the
CuTS0 anu GH0 DlCSSlUR
by the same authority on the same
llan for the same act; to whom these and
hundred more things like them create no
difficulty, let them thank God with all their
hearts that he has heard their prayers and
blessed their lives. But let them not dare
to Judge or to condemn other men, as much
in earnest as themselves; who seek after
truth as simply and as purely: whom
''honest doubt" assails not always quite

prove all things that they may hold fast
that which is good; who desire to give a
reason for their faith, but who find that rea-
son very hard to give after the lapse of
twenty centuries and since the changes
wrought in the whole conception of heaven
and earth by science, which is as much a
revelation from God as any other; men who
pray for faith which is not granted them in
full measure, for light which does not come
unclOuded, for certainty they cannot attain
to. We must all, men of faith, and men of
doubt, stand or fall at last by the earnest
ness and sincerity with which we have
striveD to see Gods will and to do our duty.

Reuiet0 for August.
