SOCIAL CUSTOMS

We pride ourselves in the propriety
of the social customs which serve as
defense to our social purity and pro-
gress. Often we hear of the queer
customs of other people, and smile
at their crudeness. Social customs
are only local colors, and while in the
Light of our knowledge and progress
we have much to be proud OF, let us
remember that they are still far from
perfect, and when we are inclined to
scoff at the customs of other people
! remember ''the pit from which we
we're digged."
Travellers of Brazil are often
shocked to find among the Indians a
custom of putting to death the aged,
weak, and sick persons who are not
likely to recover, and then eat them.
1t was not many centuries ago that
the Wends Of Germany did precisely
the same thing, and even in the early
Christian church of Scandinavia the
"club" was kept with which to end
the lives of persons dangerously ILL.,.
Professor Tyler calls it ''the family
club"
To one living in another land the
first things that one in that country
is apt to notice about him is the way
his house is decorated. In many
lands it is highly improper to have
in statue or picture anything that APP
proaches the nude. One may un-
Willingly ostracise himself in this
way. When Mrs. Beach began her
! work in China she took to class of
women some cards such as are used
in our Sunday schools, depicting the
Oriental in his own garb. They were
Mortified at such immodesty as leav-
ing the legs bare from the knee down,
and Mrs. Beach had to take them
home and paint wide flowing Chinese
trousers on them all.
The central African is more careful
of his kisses than men in America.
A missionary after couple of years
of service in tribe, was just about
to start out on trip. Over two hum
dred of the native men came too see
him off. His wife came out to bid
him goodbye, and in the presence OF
them all kissed him. At once the
crowd sent up an awful yell of ridicule,
not that they do not kiss their wives.
for they kiss them on both cheeks,
but it was the limit to do it in the
presence of another man.
Leaving now those relations that
center in the family we will find
custom as rigid on the street. In
America we dress for comfort as we'll
as taste, but in China for one to APP
pear on the street dressed in way
that would approach revealing the

one who wished good reputation.

There is picture OF the Governor

Splitting is not habit confined to
America alone. The father OF Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale once said to a
class: Gentlemen, if you expect to
rate high in my esteem you must not
expectorate on the foor.''
If you spit in China you must do
it toward the north.
In certain tribes of Africa among
the Benga the same word is used fer
''spit" and "bless." Therefore il
you like you may spit on person
without offense providing you do 1t
in the right way, for that is their way
of blessing.
It is also very necessary to know the

A man in China had bought a
sedan chair with shorter handles than
was usually used. He had a friend
coming to see him-a millionaire
from New York. This chair was
used to bring him up from the river,
and caused the greatest excitement
the city ever saw, and it was talked
about for ten. years afterward. The
short handle sedan chairs are used to
carry the ghost in the funeral pro-
cession, and to the Chinese it was as
ridiculous a sight as for us to see
the pastor of one of our churches
bring friend to his home from the
depot in hearse. Imagine smiling
countenance beaming out through
the glass sides.
"Trifes make up perfection, but
perfection is no trifle." These are a
few of the things that the missionary
has to meet, and to which he has to
conform in, so far-as their customs are
not at core immoral. He has to, in
all things, become as the people with
whom he works in order that he may
win them.
