CHINA.

The empire of China originated be
fore the days of Moses. and is the only
empire which has survived the wreck OF
the ages. The commissions which
wrought the downfall of Babylonia
Rome and countless other civilizations
have not affected "the land of Sinim, .
which for ages has been ruled by the
same conservative, non progressive poll
cy which characterizes it today.
The contingency that China yet may
become as progressive as Japan is one
which opens vista of great possibilities.
We're the Emperor Of China to re-
move the interdict upon emigration, the
Chinese might suddenly overshadow the
nations of the earth and blot out most
advanced civilizations of Europe and
America. In this connection is seen the
imperative necessity of evangelizing the
multitudes of these barbarians.
Should the Chinese resort to force tf
arms, their enormous numbers would
enable them to more than repeat the
exploits of Attilla the Hun, and tie
Cloths, Visigoths and Vandals who ex-
tipguished Roman civilization. Present
commissions in China show the existenc 9
of three parties in the empire: One I'M
der the present Emperor, favoring the
policy of extension and acquisitions; an
other, from which it has been claimed
the recent outrages proceed, is the
Party of Conservatism. and the Chris
tianized element is the third, greatly in
the minority.
The two first factions are unit with
respect to their animosity to Christian
ity, if information received is reliable.
Responsibility for the outrages is fixed
upon the Vegetarians. who oppose the
government, and the Emperor is ac-
cused of being the author of recent
decree. placed, it is said, in the hands of
thousands of students at the annual ex-
aminations in Canton and Hong Kong:
"a stupid black haired race is estab-
fishing sundry sects. and they regard
not their own livee, but pretend to rise
again as immortal men and women.
They congregate, and abandoning chast-
ity, behave like obscene birds and
beasts. Faithful Confucians must shoot
and stone and behead them without
mercy. /, the emperor, command the
authorities to eradicate these weeds and
vermin. Kill the serpents. Throw
them to the wolves and tigers, because
there is no salvation for them either
against heaven sent calamities or mis-
fortunes caused by human agencies"

INTRODUCTION.

The character of Samuel is, in
every stage of his career, one OF the grand
est in the Old Testament. Standing at
the meeting point of two diverging eras
in the national life OF Israel, the last OF
the Judges and the first of the Prophets,
the Inauguration of the monarchy, no fig
ure occupies more prominent place OF
Jewish history. Nor is there one who
challenges a more unqualified admira-
ton. The exquisite beauty of his holy
childhood; the vigor and wisdom of his
administration as judge; the calm dig
nifty with which he yields to the demands
of the people, and bows to what he feels
to be the Divine will; the energy with
which he throws himself into the new
system alien as it was to his own person
al feelings and cherished convictions;
the self forgetting zeal with which he
devotes the whole of his powers to the
efficient carrying out of its requirements;
his warmth of affection for the youthful
monarch who had supplanted him in
the popular favor; the depth of his sor
row at the repeated failure of the chosen
one whom he had been the instrument
Of raising to his high office; the reluct-
ance with which he regards the breach
as final, and seals Sauls rejection by
amounting a successor: all combine to
make up portrait Of no ordinary at
Effectiveness on which the mind rests
with more complete satisfaction than on
most of the heroes of the earlier and less
perfect dispensation.-This mOmen-
tOus episode in the national drama of
Israel is presented to us in four distinct
scenes. each impressed with type of its
own and bringing out separate phase
of the prophets character. l. The first
of these is laid at Ramah, when the eld-
ers of Israel, as the representatives Of
the nation. first present the unwelcome
request and Samuel is made acquainted
with the Divine will in the matter Il
Sam. 81 2. The second, probably also
at Ramah, describes the selection and
amounting by Samuel of the divinely-
chosen monarch %; x:1-16). 3. The
third narrates the choice of the king by
lot in the general assembly at Mizpah
(x:17-27.) 4. The fourth gives US the
confirmation of the election by another
national assembly at Gilgal, with Sam
uel's solemn remonstrance with the peo-
pie on their disloyalty to their theocratic
king and the assertion of his own integ-
rity II:14; 12),- E.VENABLEs.

WOMAN'S BOARD OF MISSIONS.
Report of Annual Meeting Held in
Central Union Church.
Labor Among Japanese and Hawaiians.
kindergarten neutrality-suspicious.
and Expenditures-Brief Talks.

The annual meeting of the
Woman's Board Of Missions was
held yesterday in Central Union
church. A large number of per
sons were present. The church
was beautifully decorated with
green's and flowers.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the meet
ing was called to order by the pres
ident, Mrs. Hyde. Reports of the
different departments of the work
followed, showing that faithful and
successful work had been done.
Miss Green reported for the Hawai-
ians, telling Of her personal efforts
among them. Then followed d
record Of service among the Chi
nese by Mrs. Frank Damon and
Mrs. Soares respectively. Miss
Castle, in her usual earnest and
efficient manner, told of patient
and encouraging work among jap
anese.
The Home department record of
Mrs. Castle was read by another,
as she was unable to be present.
The able management of work
was shown in the treasurer's re-
port; a clear and concise document
made manifest the way in which
the money was spent during the
year. It likewise showed small
balance on the right side. This is
very creditable when the amount of
work is considered and the dull
times financially are taken into
account. Something over $1,000
was expended.
Appropriations for next year
were voted and a slight advance
made.
The secretary gave summary OF
the years work and presented a
scheme for meetings during the
coming year, which was adopted.
This indicates speakers and topics
for the next twelve months.
Just before noon an exhibition of
kindergarten work under the direc-
ton of the society was given. Ha-
waiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Jap
anese and American children, each
group in national costume, took
part in a short drill.
At noon the meeting adjourned
the ladies gathered in the parlors,
where dainty lunch was served.
Many gentlemen dropped in dur
ing the closing hour and were pres
ent at lunch.
After an hour spent in social in
tercourse, the society met again at
2 O'Clock.
Work of the kindergartens was
formally passed into the hands of
the new organization, which here
after will have entire charge of that
work.
The new society is to be incor-
porated and will not be under the
control or direction of any church,
but instead make appeal to the
public for support. The results OF
last year's work were very eucour-
aging.
Brief talks were given by the
minister of the church, Mr.. Bir-
ME, Mr.. Frank Damon, Mrs. Cap
tain Garland of the Morning Star,
Mrs. Ostrem and Miss Abel.

A MARINE WONDER.

Mighty Barrier Reef Reared by the Toll
of Minute Insects.
One Of the marine wonders of the
world is the great Barrier reef of Aus
tralia, says London Public Opinion. This
stupendous rampartof coral, stretching
In an almost unbrolSen line for f,250
miles along the northeastern coast Of
Australia, presents features of interest
which are not TO be equaled In any
other quarter of tho globe. Nowhere
Is the action of the little marine insect,
which builds up with untiring industry
those mighty mountains with which
the tropical seas are studded, more APP
parent.
BY simple process of secretion there
has hees: reared Il. IL The course of count-
less centuries an adamantine wall
against which the pillows of the Pacific,
sweeping along In On uninterrupted
course Of several thousand miles, dash
themselves In Intellectual fury. In
closed within the range of its project
ing arms Is calm inland sen, dotted
with a multitude of coral islets and
presenting at every turn objects OF In
terst alike TO the unlearned traveller
and the man of science.
Here may be witnessed the process
by which the wavy gelatinous mass
hardens into stone, then serves as n col
lecting ground for the fotsam and
jetsam of the ocean and ultimately de-
velops into an island covered with q
luxuriant mass Of tropical growth
Here, again, may be seen In the serene
depths of placid pools extraordinary
forms OF marine life, agiow with the
most brilliant colors and producing Ia
their infinite variety a bewildering
sense Of the vastness of the life Of the
ocean.

I saw the form of man lying fnoo
downward on the road, stream Of
blood k>shing from his head and Limbs,

death. Behind him stood another
man holding smoking revolver, which
he quickly replaced In hip pocket.

moment the journalistic instinct pre-
dominated ovsx all sentiment. And In
an instant the kodak had recorded the
scene.
A moment later and the murderer
had flung his revolver into the depths
of the ravine across the road and was
busily rihing the pockets Of his victim
Again the camera snapped. and ! be-
came interested to see the end Of this
rather startling adventure. 1t was
highly improbable that the murderer
had caught glimpse OF me through the
cactus hedge, so that quietly looked
on ut his operations, taking n couple
more snaps at him with the kodak.
Suddenly the man sprang TO his feet,
and swinging a horn from the back OF
his girdle blew long blast. Some
people were evidently now In sight, for
he waved his wide sombrero excitedly.
Two or three Indians and couple Of
Sponish natives soon came along and
the murderer said he had Just dis
covered the body. As he spoke there
was chatter of hoofs, and mounted
policia -policeman-came dashing up.
All In a moment, now, my speculate
i've interest In the affair became in
tensely and painfully personal. The
murderer and brigand, as knew him to
be, cried to the officer that he had come
up Just in time to see the murder COM
mitted. It was the work of a white
man, and he had to run away into the
cover Of the cactus hedgel If they hur-
ricd the 'gringo" would soon be over
taken.

lection OF the policeman, might have

die of his riding whip across the
