Bishop Joyce is in the orient and will
remain there till next year to hold the
conferences in Japan and China. 1t is
hoped that he may be able to visit west
China, where no bishop has ever been.
1t is in time of travel as far from Shang-
hal as the latter place is from San Fran
cisco.
Bishop Goodsell is holding the con-
ferences in Europe and will remain
there another year. Italy, Bulgaria,
Germany, Switzerland, Denmark. Swe-
den and Norway all have interesting
and valuable missions.
Bishop Thoburn will reside for the
next four years i'll Bombay.
Bishop William Taylor is in South
Africa in the same field where years ago
he witnessed such marvellous revivals
among the natives. In seven months
over 1000 converts were added TO the
Wesleyan Methodist churches. They
had usually before that reported about
seven converts in a year.

Our Books.

The books of the reading course for
the present year are the most attractive
and helpful of any yet issued for the
use of the League They are all written
specially for the League and are Of the
finest type of English literature.
"The Vision of Christ In the Poets, F"
by Charles NJ. Stuart. ID. D., gives the
poetical Interpretation of Christianity
by eight of the great English and Amer
lean poets. 1t is finely illustrated by
portraits of the poets. This is for the
spiritual department.
"The Social Law of Service" by Pro-
fessor r. T.. Ely, is the best of his works
and very helpful in mercy and help
lines.
"Torchbearers of Christendom, by
r. r. Doherty, d. D., gives short re-
view of the work of Paul, Constantine,
Gregory the Great, Hildebrand, Luther
and Wesley. Here the literary depart
ment will find help.
In League With Israeli" by Annie
+. johnson, is an ideal story for the So
cial department..

New York Public Libraries.

The facts which The Book Buyer pre-.
sents relating TO the circulation OF books
in New York city through free circnlat-
ing libraries cannot be questioned. Scart
as is the aggregate number of books tax
en-, when compared with the popula-
ton, it is nevertheless satisfactory to
learn that there are some few free libra
ries which can show that, as to readers,
they have more. The following is from
The Book Buyers article:
How woefully New York is behind
other cities of the country in bringing
books within reach Of the masses is seen
from a comparison Of the free circulat-
ing library systems. Last year, for ex-
ample, there was circulation in New
York of something over 1000, 600 vol
umes by libraries that received total
appropriation from the city OF $50, 600.

Luxury OF bankruptcy.

"Why don It you 60 into bankruptcy
asked Judge Emden of the Lambeth
county court, when Mr.. Casswell' a
sausage manufacturer of Camberweil'
candidly admitted that he could not pay
his debts except by small installments.
II am poor man and can't afford it, :
replied the latter, who seemed to regard
his honor's question as tantamount TO
asking man with only twopence in his
pocket why he did not treat himself TO
turtle soup and milk punch. Such lux
uries as bankruptcy are not meant Tor
the poor, and he sighed as he added
"You can't become bankrupt unless you
have money! "Ah. yes. replied his
honor, quite true! A man in your pc.
sition cannot indulge in the luxury OF
bankruptcy. So the unfortunate sau.
sage maker was ordered to pay up al
the rate of 10 shillings per month or &c
to Jail for IA days London Telegraph
