this rest to the industrial masses it Is nee

There are now eighty-tw two medical mis-
sionaries in China, the majority of whom
are from the United States; sixteen of
them are female physicians. There are
large mission hospitals and dispensaries in
Picking, Tientsin, Shanghai and Canton,
and smaller ones at various other cities

Rev. William T Elsing, pastor of the
De Witt Memorial chapel, New York city,
has for several years been devoting his
energies in the line of establishing large
swimming baths in the tenement portion
of New York for the use of the working
classes. No nobler charity exists, and the
city mission has now, at Mr.. Elsing's sug-
gcstion. taken the matter actively i'll hand.
A lot has been secured and additional
funds are needed to build the first bath.
THE WINGS OF INSPIRATION.
If the Bible has any good use, it is to
awaken the best aspiration, the loftiest
faith, and the most cheering and rational
hope. 1t is painful to see the old book used
to diminish faith, to lessen hope, and to
substitute darkness for light. We read in
an exchange the words of minister who
would like to believe that Gods mercy is
not limited to this life. But ne does not
dare to, because the Bible, he thinks, fur
nishes no basis for any hope in the mercy
of God to sinners beyond this life. We do
not care to discuss here the question
whether theSBible permits such view or
not. But there is a still deeper question.
1t is whether the Bible shall be the final
appeal on all questions concerning the
future destiny of man. When we study
the origin of the Bible, and find that it is
simply a collection of human books, like all
other religious literatures, and that it is a
work of fallible men, and not the infallible
work Of God, its position d supreme test of
truth is no longer tenable. The true worth
of the Bible is to furnish wings of religious
aspiration, not letters for the reason or
binders for the eyes.-Christidn Register
SPEAK KINDLY OF THE JEWS.
They are law-abiding citizens, friends of
public schools, loyal to our institutions,
and enemies of disorder. We have never
heard Of Jewish Anarchist, or of one be-
ing engaged in mob. Iii rarely the case
that Jew is arrested for being tramp, a
wite-beater, drunkard, or a picl1-pocket.
Christians have no reason for hatred of the
Jews. Jesus and his apostles were Jews.
Paul was Jew, and many of the greatest
ministers and scholars of the Christian
church in the early ages were Jews. We
call to mind Sir Moses MOntifore, the great
philanthropist; Benjamine Disraeli, Earl
of Beaconsteld; Sir George Jassel, one of
Englands most eminent judges land others
of great worth and great prominence.
What Christian can ever forget our debt
of gratitude to such men as Neander,
Edersheim. Delitsch, and Jacoby the
apostle of German Methodism. 1t is most
unseemly thing for Christian to manifest
vulgar race prejudice in this age. We should
rather take pleasure in doing justice to the
race of Israel San Francisco Christian
Advocate.
JUDAISM AND ETHICS.
There is no doubt that the more thought
full adherents of Judaism are gradually
drifting away. They do not care TO carry
out the ceremonial law because it does not
speak to their hearts, and since this is all
they have been taught of their religion, if
they neglect it there seems to be nothing
left Their souls cry aloud for truths that
shall sustain them in their hour of trial and
temptation, that shall teach them how to
live "nd how to die; and all that is given
the more or less unmeaning rites. Will
not TIL je who love their ancient faith, who
feel .,l4t its doctrines embody all the ele
E,cnts of a morally beautiful life, come
forward now when danger threatens it, and
ze4lously labor to show forth its more
spiritual truths? -JeiUiSh Messenger.
CHRISTIANITY AND THEOLOGY.
Say what men will in depreciation Of
theology, every man has a theology, and
from the nature Of the case must have one.
The only question is whether his theology
shall be right or wrong, systematic or frag-
mentary, intelligently thought out or
reached by haphazard processes. His theo-
logy may have the ricketts, and so deform
all his life, or it may be firm and well pro-
portioned and give symmetry to his char
acter. To depreciate its value is merely to
invite disaster, by encouraging superficial
ways of thinking, which in turn beget lax
notions as to morals, and thus weaken the
fibre of character. He who sneers at
theology sneers at Christianity; the two
stand or fall together.-The Examiner
(BaptiSD.
