Claude Maxwell Macdonald represented Great
Britain, with staff, and chaplain, Bishop E. P Scott
The representative of Germany, Col. Ketteler, was

OF France, Russia Austria Hungary, Italy, Spain,
Belgium, Holland and Portugal Among American
officers in this party Dr. Thomas NJ Lppitt of
Clarke county, Va, Assistant Surgeon of the u S.
A And with these the Christian missionaries
English, American and French Catholics and many
women and children
The Ld10 Journal of England recalls the various
steps by which the position of English missionaries in
the Yellow Empire was secured First came clauses in
the English Treaty OF Tien Tsin in 1883 guarantee
ing the personal safety of missionaries and declaring
that they acquired land at the treaty ports and GER
tain other places agreements should be made with
out exactions either side" The French Treaty
of 1858 protected French missionaries travelling
peaceably and with duly authenticated passports in
the interior, and also by clause-sad to have been
surreptltousy nterpolated-permitted them to DUR
chase land and erect buildings Gin all the provinces"
OF this clause English missionaries came in time to
get the conventional benefit and the Imperial seal to
SNNNNNS
countries was given by edict in 1884, which, after
declaring the right of foreign missionaries to pro-
mitigate their religion in China" directed the au-
thortes under the strongest sanctions to protect them
and their converts
From the statistical paper prepared by Dr. James
u. Dennis for the Ecumenical Conference of FOREIGN
Missions we gather facts as to the extensive
educational and other mission work in China that is
now thrown into confusion, if not total disaster
There are II universities and colleges, having 1874
students; 90 theological and training schools with
1875 students; high schools and seminares num-
Der 100 with 63o3 pupils. Industrial training in
stitutons with Io1 pupils. There are 20 medi-
cal and nurses schools with 231 pupils and kin
dergarten schools, having 1o4 scholars Dr. Dennis
reports 20 mission publishing houses with annual
issues of 2,64o335. Thirty-two magazines and pa
pers published in Chinese dialects There are 124
mission hospitals and 40 dispensaries Nine or
phanages have been established, and II homes for
lepers and the children of lepers.

RejOiceth i'm the Truth.

WHEN that inspired anthem of charity, in
the thirteenth chapter of I Corinthians, tells
that it suffereth long, seeketh not her own,
beareth all things, endureth all things, the i'm
preston is made of patient inner life of self
denial and sacrifice. We do not expect to hear
of any JOY. Yet here it is, "Rejoiceth," with
all the pain and endurance, "rejoiceth in the
truth" The fact is this new and divine life of
love in the human heart has JOY of its own.
Joy-waves rise in it and sweep over it. There
is a JOY that is all its own, which no man
knoweth save he in whose heart divine love
reigns. Under the passive bearing and endur-
ing secret bliss smiles, like the green verdure
beneath the snow.
1t is mot in iniquity," that charity rejoices
1t cannot be content or pleased with anything
that IS evil as others may be. No wrong thing
can give pleasure to the Christian heart Of
love. The love that God implants is sensitive
to the presence of evil and quickly discerns it's
iniquity under many guises 1t "abhors that
which is evil Where there is the reality of
goodness in the heart there is shrinking, re-
vulsion, hatred of wrong and falsehood and
corruption and impurity.
But it 'rejoiceth in the truth" One would
have expected to read, as the counterpart of
iniquity, that it was righteousness in which
love finds its joy; but with a deeper insight,
a farther grasp, love "rejoiceth in the truth"
1t is the truth of Christ which makes righteous
ness, which is mighty above all else to rectify
and cleanse. The gospel is the inspiration and
strength of all goodness. 1t is the divine power
for the publication of man and Of society; it is
the one grand instrument for all moral and
spiritual quickening and nurture Therefore,
the charity or love, which is the life of God in
the soul of Gods child, rejoiceth not only in
things that are right and good, but in the truth
which makes them and keeps them.
Do you see that theology, the truth as it is
in Jesus, is the most practical and sweetly use
full of all sciences? and, therefore, it is that all
Christian piety rejoices in it. Nothing can
give such JOY to the renewed heart as Gods
truth We rejoice in the discovery of it. The
heart thrills within when it is laid open to lis
in the word. We rejoice in the enlargement of
the truth, in its manifestation before men. in its
proclamation among the nations, in the pro-
gress of its kingdom, in the confidence of its
ultimate victory and its universal dominion
We rejoice in it exceedingly because we believe
that it is the power of God and the wisdom of

Francis Mackenzie.

HE old desk OF Francis Mackenzie OF which
DIR. L. P. Bowen writes very interesting let
ter for this weeks CENTRAL, has been safely
sheltered at last in the Library of Union Theo-
logical Seminary. DR.. Bowen has done wise
thing in depositing the one existing relic of
the apostle of the Chesapeake" in the fire
proof building at the Seminary, where it will
be an object of veneration and curious interest,
that will grow as the years go by. 1t was finely
made of mahogany by skilful hands, and is
full of secret drawers and hiding places. 1t is
probable that it imported from England,
and was the deposit of money and valuable
papers, used by Mackenzie and by his daughter,
Madame Holden, who were people of consd-
cradle property.
The Rev. Francis Mackenzie a native of Ire
land and educated at Glasgow University was
ordained by the Presbytery of Laggan, and
came to America in 1858. He is described as
a man of eminent piety and strong intellectual
powers, adding to force of talents fascinating
address, and conspicuous for his dignity and
faith as minister of the gospel" He was a
fine business man, and lawyer of much
ability. He was eminently the man needed
for pioneer work among an intelligent people,
and in the face of the opposition of the officials
and attorneys of the colonial governments He
travelled and preached with energy and zeal
from Boston to the Carolinas He organized
churches on the Eastern Shore of MARYLAND
and Virginia, and was the founder of the first
Presbytery, whose monument has Just been
dedicated at Freehold, N T. He suffered per-
secuton, fines and Imprisonment He twice
visited the old country in behalf of his religious
liberty and for reinforcements in preaching.
He died in 1903, leaving an unblemished name,
and an enduring work for Presbyterianism and
evangelical Christianity
The fame of Mackenzie and the recognition
of the value of his Jealous pioneer work have
steadily grown. Foote'S Sketches give some
account of him, but later researches have added
much to the story Dr. Bowen was for some
years himself the pastor of the churches
founded by Mackenzie in lower Maryland and
gave much diligent effort to the study and
inquiry of Makemie's history. The result was
his charming book, The Days of Mackenzie,
published by the Presbyterian Board of Publ
cation, Philadelphia, in which, making pic
ture of the times, he has gathered all the relia-
BILE history and tradition of the founder of the
American Presbytery The book is most en-
tertaining and instructive reading, and, we
doubt not, will remain a classic Of Eastern
Shore history and of American Presbyterian
ISM
Mackenzie stands out with growing distinct
ness, most remarkable man. Devout Chris
tan and Jealous Christian minister in the des-
ttutions and evils of the early colonial days. he
knew his rights, and knowing, dare maintain
them" He preached with ability, fervor and
success; yet, as Lord Cornbury, the British
Governor at New York, wrote of him, "IIe is

NOTHING CONCILIATORY.

The second day of the anthracite coal
strike has failed to bring forth any
thing that would lead to the bringing
together of the coal operators and the
striking miners.
Neither side has approached the
other, and as far as could be learned
tonight. there is no such move con-
templated by either the operators or
their employees. Unless there is break
in the ranks of either, it seems to-
night that third party will have to
step into the breach and try to bring
the two forces together.
Who that third party will be and
what methods will be pursued with
that end in view, no one in touch with
the situation can at this time say
President Mitchell in his statement
to-day on the situation throughout the
entire anthracite region, estimates that
about 5000 additional mine workers
laid down their tools to-day, making a
total of $4,000 mine workers that are
idle
To-day was entirely devoid of inn
portant developments in this district,
and what little change there was in the
situation was in favor of the striking
workers. 1t was estimated yesterday
that of 10000 mine workers in the
Hazleton region, about 5000 did not
start work President Mitchell, in his
estimate, however, raised these figures
to ten thousand.
