grealy appreciated. The programme was
very fine and rendered well.
Dr. Lambuth, the missionary secre-

We shall be witnesses unto me, both in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Sa-
maria and unto the uttermost parts of
the earth"
DIR. Lambuth delivered a lecture on
Japan in the evening at the G. Z.
Church. The audience heard Commo-
dore Perry knock at the gates of the
Island Empire, and soon they saw him
enter, receiving the benediction of new
and loving friends. Scientific, artistic
and business improvements were noted
in quick succession. The need of the
gospel and its regenerating influence
was clearly presented, many hearts
felt a warmer sympathy for Japan than
ever before.

friends, your loved one is gone from
earth. 1t won't be long until God will
send the message to you to come up
higher Let the light Of heaven that SO
lightly shone on dear Miss Jennies
face-showing her willingness to go
and that all was well--be comfort to
the grieved relatives. She has entered
into the glory of the blessedness of
those who die in the Lord. precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death OF
his saints"
