Against fearful odds. and with three
millions of Christians opposed to two
hundred and fifty millions of Hindoos,
Mohammedans and other false reli-
gions, these missionaries are trying to
take India for God. Let the good
people of America, and England.
and Scotland, and of all Christendon,
add ninety-nine and three-quarters per
cent. to their appreciation of the
fidelity and conservation of foreign
missionaries. Far away from home, in
an exhausting climate, and compelled
to send their children to England
Scotland, America, so as to escape the
corrupt conversation and behavior
of the natives, these men and wom-
en- of God toll on until they drop
into their graves. But they will get
their chief appreciation when their
work is over and the day is won,
as it will be won. No place in
Heaven will be too good for them.
Some of the ministers at home who live
on salaries of four thousand or five
thousand dollars year, preaching the
Gospel of Him who had not where to
Law his head, will enter Heaven and be
welcomed, and while looking for
place to sit down, they will be told:
ssYonder in that lower line of thrones
YOU will take you places. Not on the
thrones nearest the King; they are re-
served for the missionaries"
Meanwhile let all Christendom be
thrilled with gladness. About twenty
FIVE thousand converts in India every
wear under the Methodist missions,
and about twenty-five thousand under
the Baptist missions, and about sew
entv-fve thousand converts under all
missions every year. But more than
that, Christianity is undermining
heathenism, and not city, or
town, or neighborhood in India
but directly or Indirectly feels
the influence, and the day speeds
on when Hindooism will go down with
a crash. There are w.lole villages
which have given up their gods and
where not an idol is left. The serf-
dom of womanhood in many places
is being unloosened, and the iron grip
of caste is being relaxed. Human
sacrifices have ceased, and the last
spark of the funeral pyre on which
the widow must leap has been extin-
guished, and the juggernaut, stopped,
now stand as curiosity for trav-
elers to look ut. All India will be talk
en- for Christ. If anyone has any dis
heartenments let him keep them as his
own private property; he is welcome to
all of them What we want in the
church and the world is less croaking
owls of the night, and more morning
larks with spread wing ready to meet
the advancing day. Fold up Naomi
and Windham, and give us Ariel or
Mount Pisgah, or Coronation. I had
the Joy of preaching in many OF
the cities of India, and seeing
the dusky faces of the natives illumi-
mated with the heavenly anticipations.
In Calcutta while the congregation
were yet seated l took my departure
for railroad train. I preached by the
watch up to the last minute. A swift
carriage brought me to the station not
more than half minute before start
ing. I came nearer to missing the
train than I hope anyone of US will
come to missing Heaven.

a GREAT JUMP.
The Tremendous Leap Made by Hungry
wildcat After His Breakfast.

The Tremendous Leap Made by Hungry
Wildcat After His Breakfast.
The wonderful rower of wildcat is
shown in it's ability to leap long dis
tances ALI of the cat tribe have i'm
mense power in their legs and they
make up in the length of their springs
their inability to make a continued
chase. African leopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the floor
of the cages and strike the top, twelve
feet above. Tigers make tremendous
leaps and strike down their prey with
q blow of their powerful paws as they
nlight. But the wildcat, for its size, is
probably the most wonderful jumper OF
all the felines. A hunter who is well
known for his veracity recently told
Boston Journal man the following
story of an adventure which illustrates
this power:
"I was hunting in the snow and came
across the track of q wildcat, which
followed long distance. Suddenly
the tracks came to an end in spot
where the animal had crouched.
looked around to see what had become
of the trail, and away ahead of me saw
q bunch Of blood and feathers. From
that spot the track led on again off in
to a swamp. The situation was sus-
ceptible to but one explanation. The
wildcat had been hunting for his din
ner and had discovered pheasant wan
dering about in the snow. The cat
crept as close as he dared to the un-
suspecting bird and gathered himself
into an animated spiral spring, such as
all the cat tribe coil themselves into
when preparing to spring, and, releas-
ing the trigger, shot into the air, land
ing on top of the victim before the bird,
as quick as pheasants usually are,
could evade the stroke. The distance
from where the cat crouched to whc-e
it caught the bird was just thirty-three
feet. 1 naturally supposed from the
length of the leap that the cat was
Young and in full activity, but after I
had trailed it to the swamp and shot it
discovered that it was old and almost
toothless. The animals hunger may
have spurred him to the great jump. 1t
not, and the leap was an evidence OF
what superannuated wildcat can do, I
wouldn't be surprised to learn that q
young and active wildcat could clear at
least twice the distance when pressed
by necessity"

towards the Pacific coast as wcll-nigh
threatened to depopulatc some of the
Eastern States. But how was it that
where one succeeded so many failed?
That for each one that reached Cali
fornia and made his fortune in the
mines, so many of his companions
filled shallow graves on the lonely
prairies, or returned home poor and
broken in health after years of hard
ships and unrequitcd toll? Was it
not simply that such one possessed
that mysterious power to get wealth
which the others lacked? We all
know men who have strivcn with all
their strength and industry to get ON
in the world, but who have failed to
accumulate anything, and others who
with far less attention to business
have grown rich under almost similar
conditions. 1t is an illustration OF
the old proverb that "thc race is not
to the swift nor the battle to the
strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
nor yet riches to men of understand
ing
In man anxiety to get gold de has
long dreamed of the possibility of
making it, and many an alchcmist has
spent his whole life in the vain effort
to discover secret process whereby
it can be produced, but as chemist
said lately: "Evcry step we take
instead of making clearer the way to-
wards the manufacture of gold shows
US more and more the great difficulties
in the way Of such consummatlon.
No power at our command can allow
US to take even the first step towards
the decomposition Of the elements.
The spectroscope gives us faint idea
of the probable complexity of the
structure of the simplest Of them.
The whole matter is in world that
we have only the haziest notions re-
garding, and we have but begun to
appreciate the fact that all that chem
istry has accomplished is as drop to
the ocean in the process Of realizing
such a dream 1t is very clear then
that in whatever way men have re-
ccivcd from their Maker the power to
get wealth, it has not been in the
direction of making them creators OF
anything. No matter how man may
be able to use the elementary forces OF
nature and compel them to do his bid
ding, he is as far as ever from being
able to create them.
All reasonable beings will allow
that the more "gifts'' man has the
greater is his responsibility for the
use of them. We feel that tits really
crime for one who possesses a fine
intellect or great talent OF any klnc
not to make use of it for his own bene

the power to get wealth is as response
bic for its use as is the posscssor OF
any other of the divine gifts. \ great
many holders Of moderate fortunes are
quite conscientious in giving certain
portion of their wealth as an acknowl-
edgmcnt or thank offering for the
blessings they have received, but We
have never heard yet of a man Of very
great wealth who considered it his
duty to give tithes Of his possessions.
1t seems very simple thing for
man whose income is $1,000 a year to
give tenth Of it to benevolent pur-
poses, good many do this without
getting or expecting any commenda-
tion from their acquaintances, but let
one whose income is $500, 900, give
tenth of it in the same way and the
world would ring with praise of his
wonderful generosity, although we
know it is really far easier for him to
give than it is for the poor man. The
real difficulty is that no one measures
what he should give by what he has,
but rather by what his neighbor gives,
and the more one has the harder it be-
comes to part with any of it. All who
have to do with works of charity are
we'll aware that it is to the poor
rather than to the rich they must look
for the support of their work, and she
