they were boisterous over the coming

Foreign Missions

TIE Wesleyan Methodist Mission in
South Ijdia has had a year of pros
perity, 1913 members, all natives, being
added to che roll. There are now 3, $50
members, 1904 Of whom are natives.
In the day schools there are II, $40 pu
pills, and in the Sunday schools 2, 043-
an increase of 900.
Rev. David Hall, an ideal Wesleyan
missionary, died in China in March He
has labored thirty two years 10 that
country without costing the Society
one dollar, and gave thousands of dol
Lars OF his W fortune for the cause
in which his heart was bound. A
nephew is following his footsteps.
Dean Farrar says the SUCCESS OF mis-
sions is simply ~stupendous, and ia one
of the decisive proofs OF. the divinity of
Christ. Other systems of religion ap-
peal only to certain races. The relig-
ion Of Christ appeals to all races and
ages and conditions, and is equally
adapted to all, and it's success is super
natural.
Among the recent news from Arme-
mia Is the following: An old man who
has preached the gospel for thirty
years has been sent TO prison for a year
because he had in his library an old
hymn book with SOLDIERS of Christ,

imprisoned ayear for possessing a copy
Of Shelley's poems.
The conversion is reported of a Per
sian Moslem who, a year ago, was &C
customed to battle every night in order
to wash off the pollution of contact
with Christians during the day. Now
he has suffered the confscation of his
property and the less Of both his ears

Heavenly Preparation.

The duties of the present life are
Clearly made known to us by God, but
he has not seen fit to reveal the duties
u the life to come. The perfect holi-
neas and happiness OF the soul are
made known, but the activities in
which it Will be employed during eter-
nifty are a sealed book to us. There
can be no doubt that there will be SER
vices il that life. The human soul is
essentially active. IL cannot be dor
mant. When 1t is sanctiied and made
perfect, its original nature will not be
changed. Activity must be a condi-
aon Of its happiness.
All the moral strength we acquire in
THIS world will doubtless find room for
exercise in the world to come. The
greater our progress toward perfection
here, the better shall we be qualified
Tor service there. God assigns differ.
ent positions and labors here, so he
may assign different positions and
laoors there. One who may have &C,

may be assigned a very conspicuous
one in heaven.
We know that the will of God will
be perfectly done in heaven. What
ever is doing Gods will here is a part
of u preparation for heaven. The
true idea of religion is that it is an ed
cation for that life to come.
1t is a most unworthy idea Of religion
to regard it as a e of escape from
the punishment Of sin. Nor is it a
preparation for death. Death is sim
ply the end of n preparation for the
life to come. As it ends our prepare
ton, we should work while day lasts.
All that we can do for the honor Of
God here, aud ell that we can do by
wey Of preparation for honoring Him
hereafter, must badone before the night
cOmeth.

If You are in Earnest.

Are you looking for some opportu
nifty Of doing goods If you are, take
TO heart these words Of William Bar
leigh's: There never was a day that
did not bring its own opportunity for
doing good that never could have been
done before, and never can be again"
These are true words. You can prove
them if you will. 1t is often true that
those who talk most about wanting to
DO good IF they could" have no per
ception of the opportunities given them
every day Of their lives. The reel
worker in Christ's earthly kingdom
does not wait for opportunities; ne ere
atee them. II you are in earnest, you
will never be idle for lack of opportu

PLANK FIFTEEN.

The morning journal takes ex-
ception to plank fifteen in the
American Union Party platform,
and states that it is rather fun
ny" affair and that it ''provokes the
question why is it there"
The plank reads as follows:
We recommend the establishment of
a public park at Aala, and a Legisla-
tive act making the Waikiki beach
property, now owned by the Govern
ment, a part of Kapiolani Park, and
that all of said land be open for the
use of the public.
One fails to see what there is
funny" about this. 1t may seem
funny" to the morning journal
that throughout the whole extent
of the sea beach along the Park
there is no portion of beach open
to the public, and that when the
working man, who, although he is
not carriage person, can afford
both the time and money to go
there, reaches the Park he can sit
dowr and admire the back yards of
the carriage" folks, but cannot
get a glimpse of the sea, nor can
his children paddle in the waves
free of charge, as they do along the
beach near the Cliff House or any
seaside resort in the United States.
If the morning journal thinks this
" funny" the working man does
not.
AS to why the plank was there,
the answer is plain. 1t was there
in the interests of the working man
who does not ride in a carriage, but
who wishes to take his family out
where they can enjoy dip in the
sea at somewhat less expense than
As cents a head, which it now costs
him in car fare and bathing house
fees.
The only wy 10 obtain VIVA,
never should have been occupied is
by Legislative act, and the party
showed its sense of the necessity O
looking after the interests of the
non carriage" people by adopting
the plank. 1t is sure that the
party's representatives will no
forget,
