ual welfare or a hotel proprietor
there, and made an effort to see
him as soon as possible after arriving
in Lebanon. He attended our
meetings, and in few days made a
public declaration of his faith, which
touched the hearts of all who heard it.
He had a friend who was a law
student, aud an avowed infidel, and
I'm him | was also desired to interest
myself. But he manifested decided
hostility
At the last meeting l made a
solemn appeal, urging every one at
once to ''flee from the wrath to come.
| felt the moving Of Gods Spirit
upon my own heart, and saw its
effect upon others. Towards the close
of the inquiry meeting one OF the
students from the college in Lebanon,
approached me and said, There are
two young men here who have been
converted within few days, who
will tell their experience if you wish
it," i at once requested them to do
so. After they had finished L
started for the platform, intending to
close the meeting, as the hour was
late and many had left the hall.
When passing one of the pews l
discovered the young intiCel, and said
to him in low voice, If your inf
deity is, as you say, better than our
religion. why don't you urge your
fellow students to embrace your
views?"
He at once said in an excited man
ner, II will discuss the subject with
you"
/ replied, This is no place for a
! discussion, but if you wish to say a
word you can do So" never imagining
that after a solemn meeting like that
he would dare 10 Haunt his sceptical
ideas
As | moved towards the platform
he said, Il will do that" and fol-
lowed. / then said, "this young man
has a word to say" He replied, Il
came here for a discussion" l re-
Piled, Il did not promise to discuss
with you"
What do you believer" he asked
[ answered, 81 believe that Jesus
Christ came into the world to save
sinners" He then sprang up in an
excited manner, saying ''You cannot
prove what you have said" The
| few who were remaining in the hall, to
show their disgust at his insolence,
rose to leave. He asked why l did
not "hold the audience" l replied,
Il did while l was speaking, but
| they do not believe word YOU say"
Then looking him in the face | added,
"And you do not either" He then
hastily left the hall.
My heart was rejoiced to receive
recently from Mr.. W a full ac-
count of the conversion of this MI
del, and of his work in the ministry.
When this friend wrote me, the re-
generated sceptic was preaching the
Gospel with much blessing in Mani
toba.
Facts like these should lead Gods
people never to waver at the hostility
manifested by the enemies of God.
Let US pray and labor for the most
hardened. The scoffer of to-day may
be weeping for his sins tomorrow,
and may soon be found seeking to
lead Others to Christ.

HE FELL 11,4OO FEET.
Lieutenant Mansield's Remarkable Per-
Torrance With a Parachute.

Lieutenant MAnsfield's Remarkable Per-
rmanc With a Parachute.
Lieutenant Mansfield, of the Royal
Naval Reserve, has made, according to a
report from Bombay, a decent of 11,4OO
feet with a parachute of his own contri-
vance. The decent was made in the Vic
toria Gardens in Bombay. Lieutenant
Mansfield assembled in a balloon to which
was attached a trapeZe instead of a car.
On the trapeze he sat. His parachute
was fixed to the balloon so that it could
be easily detached by the %aeronaut. The
balloon rose in the air until it was
scarcely visible to the spectators.
When the balloon had reached a height
of 11,400 feet he had almost lost the
sens of feeling. Ascertaining that the
apparatus was in good order, he took
hold of the ring of the parachute, drew
himself clear of the trapeze and dropped.
He fell with frightful swiftness for
about 200 feet. At 10000 feet he found
himself still falling rapidly, but was able
to control the parachute. At 10000 he
was falling gently, and after that he be-
gan to drift to and fro in the different
air currents, descending gradually. lie
felt the heat from a factory chimney at
1 200 feet.
Then he put the steering qualities of
his parachute into use. There were moth
ing but house-tops in view. He chose
the largest and --LATEST he could see,
some distance to the eastward, guided
himself to it and alighted upon it unin-
jured.
An eye witness to the decent said he
saw a speck in the sky, not knowing
what it was. He watched, and it became
larger, and at last was distinguishable as
a man guiding a parachute by means of
ropes.
Lieutenant Mansfield wishes to have
his invention adopted by the military and
naval authorities.
