study by j. B. Shearer, D. D., LIZ D.,
professor of Biblical instruction, David
son College. LAG PIP. Net 60 cents
Presbyterian Committee of Publication,
Richmond, Va.
Certainly the Sermon on the Mount
can never lose its interest to men and it's
power over them. 1t is so simple in
language and in form, yet so far reach
ing in its teachings. 1t is a marvel of
searching insight into the character OF
men, of the deepest and most abiding
discrimination in morality, and the most
beautiful picture of the spirituality Of
the Kingdom of God in the hearts and
lives of its subjects. DR.. Shearer has
done the whole Church a kindness in
giving to the press his able and attrac-
tive study of the first of the discourses
of the great teacher and Saviour OF men.

is 1t not most pregnant fact that
while the Orthodox Greek Church clergy
stand hand in hand with the reactionarv
political forces in Russia and fail to-
raise any adequate deterring protest
against the massacre of Jews. the Chris
tan labor organizations announce that
in the event of fresh outbreaks thew
will defend the Jews.

AN APPEAL FROM MEXICO.


is nearly gone. Rev. w. A. Ross, our
new missionary is still far from his
appointed field Of labor. His presence
now would mean very much in c. Vic
torla, although he could not speak i'm
mediately the language.
There are several towns, such as
Mendez, GRIZZLIES, Villagram, San carlos,
San Jose and Padella, in which the
gospel is not preached. They are in the
territory of the Presbyterian Church,
and may not for years hear the gospel
II the Church does not send it TO them.
There are. too. some vacant fields. such
as Matamores, San Juan, Htdalgo and
La Ascension, In which the gospel has
been established for years. Our two
seminary students are anxious 10 work

only pay their railroad expenses from

No doubt some of the brethren in these
fields will board them and do their
washing
Direct results can be traced to the
use of tracts in Mexico, but for more
than two years the Presbyterian press in
Mexico city has furnished lis none doubt
less for the lack of funds. Many will
read good tract who will not attend
the service
Recently the Mexican government is
sued circular interpreting the law OF
1874, and forbidding all public worship
or religious ceremony outside of temples
or rooms exclusively set apart for that
purpose and duly registered The oc-
caslon of the circular was some recent
abuses of the priests but it will serious
ly affect our work in the out-stations. 1t
will necesstate more than ever the
building of churches and the renting
OF suitable rooms. Just now we greatly
need church in La Ascension where
we have an organized church and no
suitable place for service The breth-
rem there have offered some toward a
church but it is not sufficient yet to
purchase the lot. The fund for the
building of a Memorial chapel in Hid
algo to the memory of Dr. Graybill is in
creasing slowly.
Another serious problem that con-
fronts us is the increasing expensive
ness of living. Our native workers who
are not receiving a corresponding in
crease Of salary are greatly tempted to
accept offers from other denominations
or from other sources. We are urging
the native church to sustain better their
pastors. The contributions Of the ma
tive church increased more than $500

needs are increasing more rapidly. Sr

MISSION FIELD.

In recent number of 1.-The Fort
nightly Review" Archibald Colquhoun,
the Chinese traveller, writes in an in
teresting way of the Celestial Empire,
and of the gospel forces at work there.
Treating Christianity as including the
social civilization as well as the religion
of Europe he maintains that on the
whole Europe believes in herself in
spite Of the fact that the Moslems and
Buddhists both exceed ner in numbers.
Her chief strength, he thinks, lies in
the essential individualism OF the
Christian religion" The Chinese sys-
TEN OF morality is different from the
Christian, since 1T rests largely on hon
ors offered to ancestors. more united
Protestant Christianity should be pre-
scented TO the Chinese, concludes Mr..
Colquhoun, while political aggression on
his territory and rights should be
abandoned.
One or two of our rengious con-
temporaries have stated that the Chinese
government has instituted sweeping
changes In the direction OF making Sun
day day of rest. The exact fact, as
we learned from conversation with the
Chinese minister last week, is that here
after on Sunday no visitors are to be
received in any of the departments at
Picking. This is simply a conforming
of diplomatic customs as Picking to
those in vogue among European ma
lions and in the United States. 1t is
step towards a recognition of the Chris
ton Sabbath, but only Slight one yet,
possibly premonitory of other longer
steps.
