only deceiving y6uf own selves" 'Pure
religion and indebted before God and
the Father is thist Ito visit the father
less and widows4in their affiHction, and
to keep himself, unspotted from the
world" This wag true of Johann
Heinrich Wichern, whose career is the
lesson of the day. Wichern was one
of the church's foremost philanthEo-
pists, founder of the Rough house and
restorer Of the order and work of
deacons. He began his work as pas
tor of church at Hamburg, where
he formed plans for a school to edu-
cate poor children. To learn of their
condition he made house to house
visits. A friend placed a house at
Horn, near Hamburg, at his disposal,
and he began teaching, assisted by his
mother. Other houses were added, and
the outgrowth was the Inner mission
(Die Innere mission) for the education
Of children, and the training or men
to teach them, his belief being that
mission to nominal members of the
church at home was as Indispensable
as a mission to the heather. His work
attracted attention and the king in
vited him to Berlin, where he labored
until his health failed, when he re-
turned to Horn, where he died in 1881,
at the age of seventy three years. Fol-

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP.

The Epworth League topic for Jan. 20
is found in Matthew vi, 1894; Acts Xxx,
So; II. Corinthians tx, z; I. John ill.,, 17-18.
This subject is one of extreme interest.
1t relates to property, the gaining of
which is the foremost thought and work
Of nearly everyone. The Christian doc
trine of property and the rights of men
in property is:
1. God is maker and ruler and owner
of all things and all men,
2. Every man is obligated to acquire
and use property for his own needs and
those Of his fellow men.
8. For this acquisition and use Of
goods and things he is responsible to God
and shall eventually give account
This view is different from that held
by any other religion the world has ever
known. 1t necessitates a different adj
justment of the relations Of men in So
ciety from what is possible under any
other system. 1t must revolutioniZe HUI
man customs and establish a new order.
as tenant or steward, and must work
for and account to Him for all he gets
and uses, we have an entirely different
conception of things from the view which
has prevailed outside Christianity What
ever mans ability, opportunity and de-
sires, he must ever have regard for the
rights, needs and wishes of his fellow
men. 1t is evident that the Christian
view does not entirely control matters
in any Christian land as yet. But great
advance has been made in the world
since Christ came Changes come slow
ly, and it is we'll that they do. Men must
gradually see more clearly and grow
into the new condition.

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

President Needham, of the Columbi-
an university at Washington, ex-
presses much qualification in the sue
cess which has attended a course Of
lectures on Commerce" recently deliv-
cred before the school of comparative
Jurisprudence and diplomacy of that
university by Q. P. Austin, chief of the
bureau of statistics.
Mr.. Austin's first address sketched
the international commerce of the
world during the last century, which,
he said, had grown from $1,000, O0O, 900
in 1900 to $20,000,O00,000 in 1900, while
population was increasing from about
600,000,000 to 1,500,000,0O0, this re-
markable growth of commerce being
due to the application of steam, steel
and electricity to transportation and
communication.
The second address traced the
growth Of foreign commerce of the
United States from about $10O 600 600
Of domestic exports and net imports in
1900 to over $2,OO0,000,OOO in 1900, a

troduced by the Catholics. The Protest
ants began in the early part of the nine
teenth century. While there have been
many discouraging features in Chinese
missions in recent years, vet there is
great hope for the future. The greatest
obstacle is their intense hatred of for
eigners, which caused the Boxer rebellion
and the martyrdom of missionaries. But
it is fervently expected that here again
the blood Of martyrs will become the
seed of the church and that present ad-
versity will aid to ultimate success. If one
soul is worth more than all the world,

CONQUEST OF THE WEST INDIES.

The Baptist Union topic for Jan. % is
one devoted to conquest, in this instance
of the West Indies, in this instance not
by force but by theqh O6no- rs W.; p
by force of arms, but by the force of
the gospel-not to kill the body but to
save, it and the soul. The last topic of
nearly every month is devoted to this
subject and in most cases definite mis-
sion fields are selected for study, such
as the West Indies China, Africa, South
America, India and Japan. Such course
of missionary studies should arouse great
interest, and properly conducted, cannot
but greatly increase our missionary in
terest, information and zeal.
To what extent this will be done de-
ponds entirely upon the intelligent direc-
ton given to, this work. Glittering gener-
alities may be INDUCED in on the gen
eral subject of missions, but each field
offers a chance IS learn much concern
ing the people in each country and their
special needs. We have special interest
now in the eWst Indies, as some portions
of it is now United States territory.
An alternate topic, God Wants All
Men to Be Saved" based upon Acts
xvii, 24-31, is provided.
