asked that the game be postponed. It

THE BIBLE In CHINA.
After y Dowager Empress Gets Her
Testaifaent the King WAITS aCopy.

After tho Dowagef Empress GETS Her
T~estaihent the King Wants a Copy.
Rev. c. H. Fern. missionary of the
Presbyterian Board, writing to the "In-
dependent" from Pek.n about the recent
birthday presentation of a New Testa-
ment to the Dowager Empress Of China,
y
"A few hours later, on the day of the
presentation, a eunuch from the palace
made his appearance at the depository
of the American Bible Society with an
order from the Emperor for a copy
of both Old and New Testaments.
When asked if he wanted something
finely bound he said that he wanted
what was usually sold to the people. On
being supplied, he returned to the palace,
but within an hour came back again
with the books marked IN many places as
having defective characters. While the
stock was ransacked for better print, an
other eunuch came in haste,
that the Emperor wanted his Bible at
once. This event has naturally given
rise to many conjectures as to its proba-
BILE meaning.
Whatever may have been the motive;
It is an event of no small import that the
Word of God bas gone into the forbidden
city, into the palace n into the hands
Of the Imperial family, and has attracted
SO much attention as to lead to the pur-
chase of another copy Should it mean
only that the Emperor wished to know
whether the copy presented to the EN-
press Dowager was the same as that CIR
culated among the people, it still
means that he has done some searching
of the Scripture, and Christians may
well pray that he and his family nay
inG in them such a testimony to Jesus
as shall lead to eternal life.
1T may be that the Christian women
of China, in following the promptings of
the spirit of God, nave done more to-
and Christianity than the japanese can
Go, with all their disciplined army and
navy: It is certainly true that the Bible
can do more for the palace and the peo-
pie of China than any science of arms or
mechanics. God has opened for it a
door, may it lave free course and be
glorified. "-Philadelphia Press.
