But for the present it is necessary for them to leave
their homes and come to place of safety, proba-
bly, Shanghai, where it will be absolutely necessary
for them to have the cash in hand to live on and
where their expenses will be at least double what they
would be at their stations

ury is not only empty, but overdrawn. Two weeks

you must and of you WILL send us these funds

churches The time is pressing for the delay that
method would involve, even if it not undesr-
able for other reasons We do not wish to interfere
with any collections contributions for other causes
What we ask, and ask most urgently, is that every
individual who can help in this necessity by making
some sacrifice will send such help as you can give,
Immediately to treasurer, Mr.. Erskine Reed Box

We cannot think it necessary to make any other
plea in this than merely to set the facts before
you. We need extra funds to meet a great unfore-

ask that these be forwarded to us at once.

Foot-Notes in Church History.

Whilst the matter of the foot-note to the Confess
sion is undergoing discussion the following may be
valuable as information:
When in the earlier years of our history second
edition of the Standards was needed the Assembly
appointed committee to append the Scripture proofs
this committee succeeded by others until the
work was done Along with these proofs, the COM
mlttees submitted certain notes which the Assembly
accepted and published. In process of time confu-
sion arose to how these came into the Con-
fession and what their authority. The Assem-
bly, of 1876 asked and answered. giving the facts
above and explaining that the notes had no const-
tutona prerogatve at all
Between 1916 and 1896 these notes were eSpunged
The Assembly of 1896 was asked to restore them
1t declined to do So affirming that they "were intro
duced irregulary, had the sanction of the
church, and therefore possessed any real au-
thority, and taking the ground that "the Assembly
has power to assign them place in the authorized
Standards of the church, and does not deem it pro-
per to take the constitutional measures to effect their
restoration" (Italics mine. )-BGirds Digest PIP.
40, 4I.
1t is clear that foot-notes in the Constitution al
ways have given trouble and that final disposition of
them made by the Assembly on the ground that
they unconstitutional if inserted only by act of
Assembly. 1t is significant that there used to be
toot-notes to the Larger Catechism Sin which the
nature of the crime of slavery and man-steang is
dated upon"

China Inland Mission, under the Rev. ]. Hud-

The China Inland Mission under the Rev. J. Hud-
Taylor has earned its title, Inland" for it has
planted its missionaries far away in the interior of
the great land. The fine map of that mission, pub
lished in London and Toronto, which hangs on our
wall, shows its missions in nearly every province,
thousands of miles away from the coast There
they are to-day, and women, with the utmost of
sacrifice and obteration, beyond the reach even of
communication now, cut off, in daily and deadly
peril, sowing the seed They that in tears, shall
reap in JOY"
The Rev. DR.. A w. Hasey, one of the secretaries
of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, New
York, speaking on China last Sunday, said:
That the uprising in China caused by the in
reference of Russia Germany, Great Britain France
and Japan, each of which had in turn taken slice
out of Chinese territory, long lease, which was
the thing. He said that this resulted in he
Boxer movement and was the spark that started the
flame.
"He reviewed the Protestant missionary move

that there 1000 foreign and native mission
aries there. He declared that the only thing the
Chinese have against the missionaries is that they

DR.. George c. Lorimer, of Boston, in the course of

An exchange suggests that city Christians should
utilize their vacation by gaining each year
mastery over book of the Bible, reading and re-
reading it, whole, fixing its contents in the
mind, using pencil and paper to note down ques-
tons and Impressions studying the book historically
committing passages to memory, and so famiarizing
themselves with that one book that it is part of their

"An institution established on a Christian founda-
ton cannot abandon it without dshonor. All eccle-

swept away far the legal conditions of endow-

cheat
ga Christian college university, to be consistent

dignity and honor recognition of the interests
which the institution confessedly regards the high

1.-The Christian University has not attained its

its consummation and flower in the chapel service
religious life of students in their first year college
is very serious question. 1t is here that the greatest
difficulty lies, and here most of the harm begins
through neglect and Indifference The remedy, so
far as / can see must be found among the students

NATURE STORES ENERGY.
What the AnatOmists Have Learned o.
Common Thtnps


Common Things.
Mother Nature has odd WAYS OF
storing up energy-has so much en-
ergy. In fact. that she hides it away
in the tiniest, most unlikely bundles.
Common things that are handled every
day are more than likely to be pack
AGES full of force of one sort or an
other. IL you were asked to decide
which was stronger, a steam boiler or
q pot OF common white navy beans.
you would probably say that the for
mer was-might possibly say so con-
temptuously. with a laugh Yet those
wise old fellows, the anatomists, have
learned that beans are capable of ex-
erting a pressure fully equal to the
largest boiler. When they find it nee
essary to separate the bones OF a skull
they fill 10 with beans and place it in
a basin of water. The beans soon abb
sorb the water, swell and slowly force
the bones apart, for there is no skull
that can withstand the steady, even
pressure. And unless some equally
careful workman could be found to do
the work. no skulls could be articu-
lated, for rougher methods would shat
ter the bones and quite spoil the job.
Anatomists have learned many SINH
lar tricks by watching nature. When
they wish to obtain a skeleton OF a
small animal-a mouse, or a fish, for
example, put the little body upon
an ant heap and leave the tiny insects
to eat the flesh away from the bones.
In a month or six weeks nothing re-
mains but a bare skeleton held to-
gether by the tough cartilages
vided the wise anatomist has protected
his specimen against the cat II he
has not why, of course, nothing re-
mains, not even a grease spot.
