What Changes.

The improvements which have been
produced i'll many lands by the infiu-
ence Of Christian missions during the
last half century or less are almost in
credible. This is strikingly shown in
north India. When our first missionary,
DIR. William Butler, entered that field,
in 1855, he found the conditions such as
to make the task of evangelizing the
masses almost hopeless. In his first tour
of the bazaar at Lucknow he rode on an
elephant furnished by the governor gen.
eral and was accompanied by an armed
sepoy guard. TO have gone otherwise
would have cost him his life. Every I'M
namable abomination of vile heathen-
ism was openly practiced. Every one
was fully armed, and murder was fire.
quent. Life and property had little Sc
curity. No one had dared to attempt,
and no one would have been permitted.
to openly preach the gospel there At
Benares the burning of Hindoo widows
alive on the funeral pile with the hus-
bands dead body was an almost daily
occurrence.
Since then a marvellous transforma-
ton has taken place wherever the flag
of Britain floats. No more suffice.
Lucknow was disarmed after the sepoy
rebellion, and life and property are safer
in her bazaar than in many parts of Lon
don. Here are located some of the most
important of our mission buildings, and
it is center from which radiate score
of powerful mission agencies. The bless
ings brought for this people by Metho-
dist missions are incalculabe.
Truly goodness is profitable for all
things, ha'tlg promise of the life that
now is" as well as of that which is to
come.

An Apt Reply.

Eapoleon's apt replies often excited
good humor in crowd. A large and
brawny fishwoman once was haranguing
the mob and telling them not to dis
perse She finished by exclaiming:
Never mind those coxcombs with epau-
let's on their shoulders. They care not if
we poor people all starve if they can
but feed well and grow fat "
Napoleon, who was as thin as a
shadow, turned to her and said, Look
at me, my good woman, and tell me
which of us two is the fatter.
The fish flag was completely discon.
certed, and the mob dispersed. Elk

Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A. nj.
Topic, Extent of the Kingdom.

SCRIPTURE READISG.-Isa. TX, 80
One of the most striking features of
Old Testament prophecy is the predic-
ton of the worldwide extension of the
kingdom of Jehovah. This is specially
prominent in Isaiah and is most beauti-
fully expressed in the chapter from
which the Scripture reading for the week
is taken. The chapter opens with
strong call to Zion the beloved. arise,
shine, for thy light is como, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon theer"
The condition of all nations is described
as one of deep darkness All the people
have sat in the blackness of night. Now
God has risen as the sun, and His
brightness has aroused the holy city,
and she catches and reflects His glory.
Not for herself alone is this light given;
not for the descendants of Abraham
merely. The nations, the heather, the
gentiles, shall see this splendor of
righteousness and come to be enlighten-
ed by holiness 1t is as when birds
gather into flocks for migration. They
are countless in multitude. In clouds
they come. Their wings are wearied
with the distant flight. The people of
Zion are filled with awe at the sight,
and their souls exult at the sight Of
Gods triumph. Their old ideas of the
narrow bounds of the kingdom and the
small purposes of the Lord vanish as the
vision grows. Their ideas and hopes en-
large. New scope is found for the cere-
monies of worship. Wealth, power.
honors, multiply. Even the faroff and
inaccessible isles, the strongholds of the
old idolatrous forces, are waiting for the
messages of Jehovah. The great ships
which have enriched their owners with
commerce FROM afar are now priced
more because they bring the riches of
divine mercy to the knowledge of the
ends of the earth. The richest gifts
come to the service Of God, and all the
ends of the earth bow in worship before
the one true God.
