Unbinding Chinese Women's Feet

Are any Chinese women's feet unbound
in consequence of the exertions of foreign
ers? Yes; but no more than European Ia
dies are they going to walk barefoot
through the streets to convince doubtsrs.
And, what is far more important, num-
bers upon numbers of little girls are re-
naming unbound in missionary schools
at Annoy, Hangchow and all up and down
the river Arc at parties ladies', who are.
SO far as we know, untouched by Christian
influences yet, show with pride their soft
footed little girls, saying: my old peeple
bound my feet, but / will never bind hers"
IT is the upper circles Of China which are
giving zip binding The man ON the streets
yet binds and loves bound feet, just as In
Singapore all the csraits-born Chinese
have cast off binding, II 1t be not the very
poorest of the poor.-North China Herald.

At the Simpson tabernacle meeting In the
afternoon the regular procedure at army
services was followed. The officers ana
jubilee guard band occupied the pulpit
platform; the building was packed to the
roof; hymns, prayers and the address by
those who wished to renounce sin come to
the front -Four responded.
Gen. Booth has an agreeable voice, an
attractive English accent and O simple
earnestness that at times grows into
absolute frenzy. In opening his talk he
stated briefly that he would give his own
standpoint Of religion which covered three
points-that every sinner should be saved
that every saint needed little help about
keeping good, and that every saint should
Join the Salvation army to fight for God
and salvation.
The text was from Matthew i.21: Thou
snalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save
mis- people from their SINS" The speaker
explained the reason of Jesus coming Ia
the world to save the souls of his people,
and he Is still doing in the spirit what he
then did In the flesh. He then bore in upon
the minds Of his hearers what sin was, the
Inherent varieties of sin and its result on
all humans, no matter of what grade or in
what degree.
A short description of his own experience
followed, and then a most fervent appeal
that all should free themselves of sin
now and at once;" the promise was given
with much emphasis that God and the
Bible could and would help to save ali
from sin. 1--WE want not more Bibles, >
said the speaker, nor more truth. but
more men and women who live the truth
Christianity means real men and real
women, who live free from sin."
There were flashes of humor at times in
his address, and anecdotes and stories were
4rI1
points. He spoke of the heathen as "good
in his way and alluded feelingly to the
"riches men sin to get and then leave be-
hind them when they die-which would be

and every other country where 1t works.
The army has won its place, until 1t has
gained the approval of the president of
this great nation. Don't Judge us by what
other people say OF us or what we say of
ourselves, nor ottr creed, but by our
works" The commander here threw In
sly hint that II the mayor thought so
highly of them he should join the Saliva
tfon army.
"The Salvationist believes In activity; a
man may be active and not accomplish
much, but the army must be judged by
what 1t does for the souls and bodies of
men. 1t is an organization of imperfect
people, therefore cannot be perfect but 1t
goes on from year to year and has never
known defeat. The army has its spiritual
ana social side and is compelled to take
hold of men both ways. There are men so
fixed 1t is necessary to do something for
their circumstances before their souls can
be saved; others will take care Of their own
circumstances II their souls are saved.
/ 'Tt saves the churchless crowd, for the
world is its parish. In the city of London
there are 100000 people who never see the

history of the army 1t was met with sneers
and derision, but by it's achievements 1t
now commands the respect of the church

A volley of cheers. drums, horns and

forward. He thanked the mayor for the
cordial welcome extended and said that he
understood that the approval was not
meant for him. but for the movement.
