None knew her but to love her,
She was the pride of her home:
But tho Master whispered softly,
Come, Virgie; oh, come home.

Come Angel Virgie. come.
To thy sweet home on high.
Thou art too lovely for the earth.
Too pure and good for life;
Heaven, sweet heaven is better far,
Than a world of care and strife
Greve not, fond mother and loved one,
For thy beautiful angel child.
She has landed safely in glory,
And we can almost see her smile.
SO robed in her snowy garments.
Her Saviour's hand in her own;
He gives unto her a crown Of life,
And bids her welcome home.
Oh, sweet Angel Virge,
In that land so gloriously bright,
Guide US from this sinful world
And be unto us as light.
A light that beams with heavenly radiance
And shines unto us from afar.
Help us to be like unto thee.
Oh, be our guiding star.
Christ hath given us Virgie,
He has now taken her 20 MS breast:
Sleep on, sleep on, sweet Virgie,
Sleep on, and calm be thy rest.

- In considering the question OF re-

given case. all motives Of a mere per-
sonal nature should be set aside md re-
gard had only to the best interests Of
Christ's Church
" Our SaviOurs teachings on this sub
ject Matt. 5: 1912. and Luke 6: %, 2O
must be thoroughly understood and scruS
pulously Obeyed.
" Native Christians should be thorough
ly instructed in the teachings Of the BIZ
Bile with regard TO the duty they owe TO
civil rules.
" The distinction should be kept in
mind between lawsuits in which the
Christian is the defendant and those in
which he is the plaintiff
" The missionary should not seek to
shield and help the native Christian
whether right or wrong, but 1t should be
his object to defend the right, even
though he may be obliged 10 do so against
his own converts
q The missionary should always pro-
coed on the presumption that the Christ
ian is prejudiced in favor of his own case,
and is in great danger of involuntary, If
not willful, Misrepresentation
" Christians should be carefully warned
against the unreasonableness and often
siveness of claiming any special adyan-
tage on the ground of their being Christ
!ans.
- Would it not be a good plan for tie
missionary never to entertain or prose-
cute a complaint of a native Christian
without calling the other party and be-
coming equally acquainted with both
sides?'"
The Rev. William Christie a missionary
recently returned from the far interior of
China. has this TO say on the situation:
THE revolution reported to have broken
out near Sze-Chuan leaves little chance
for missionaries in the northwest of China
to escape 20 the coast. My station, at
Toa-Chow, on the borders Of Tibet, is in
the vicinity Of the seat OF the trouble, and
! am familiar with the ground. Cheng-
Tu the capital OF SZe-Chuan, is about
fifteen hundred miles from Pekin. The
Methodist are very strong there, having
a church. parsonage. hospital. school. and
other buildings. The Canadian Presbyte-
rians have church, parsonage, school, and
hospital. The China Inland Mission has a
church and preaching chapel. The Roman
Catholics also are very strong there"

PERILs OF THE TOOTHBRUSH.
A Case Where Too Much Cleaning
Causcd Cancer.
CFrom the Philadelphia Record

Cancer of the lip" a physician stated
yesterday lis caused more frequently than
one would think by the toothbrush. Let
me illustrate this by typical case which
1 am treating now:
John Blank smoked a good deal and to
keep his teeth white he cleaned them hard
three times a day with a brush whose
bristles were like wire. He brushed a lit
tie patch of skin from his upper lip After
ward he was careful and the sore spot
healed. But then he forgot and the spot
became sore again.
This went on year or two. Two days
out of seven this one place in Blanks lip
was sore. Finally it began to pain him.
II hurt all the time! 1t smarted even when
apparently healed.
He would awake in the night with the
sharp. pinching pain there, and the pain
was like the clutch Of crabs claw, for
he had cancer now-cancer due to the ir-
ritation which he had applied thrice daily
for a year TO that one spot with his stIff-
bristled brush.
mo wonder he had cancer. and no won
der there are many such cases. People
won't learn that tooth cleaning may dc
harm. They are proud Of it as Of bathing.
and they can't believe that any little pain
or irritation due to it can be other than
Of benefit"
