 PROSPECTS eooD-The artcsian company, says Contractor Mackey to the Benson Press, are now going through a granite cement and boulder composition that is very hard drilling. This week about sixty feet has been made. This is the strata that stopped the smaller drills from going deeper. MT Mackey is confident that when they penetrate this conglomerate formation they will secure a force and flow never had before in the wells put down in the valley. The formation is of such finty character that it has caused many repairs to be made, necessitating slow progress.

his imagination the vision of the fellowship prize
The best scholar in the class received an appoint

PAID Spellman had worked hard for his education

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MISSION

The TorreyAleXander mission is now in its last
week IN Toronto, and from here the evangests will
go to Philadelphia. On coming to Toronto they re-
ceived a cordial welcome and began to work upon
SOIL that mad been well prepared by prayer and eager
expectation. From the first they were greeted nv
audiences limited only by the seating capacity of the
largest public hall in Toronto and the meetings have
steadily grown in interest and power No other
than the religious interest could have aroused and
held the vast audiences which day by day and NIGHT
by night Tor whole month have packed Massey Hall
The evangests have had for the most part the cor
dial cooperation onf assistance of the ministers and
churches of the city. And the daily press has given
generous space to the reports of the sermons of Dr.
Iorrey and has thus enabled him to reach a vastly
larger audience than could get within range of his
voice That there should be criticism of his methods
and some of his statements was inevitable The
man who would sway the vast audiences night
by night like DIR. Torrey, must necessarily be of the
dogmatic type of mind which arouses the antaoonism
OF those who have no sympathy with religion as well
as those OF a more moderate and liberal school of
thought But there has not been much to complain
OF on the score of opposition and hostile criticism
As to the results of the effort it is too soon to
speak. Large numbers each day rose in response to
the strong appeals and professed their determination
to consecrate their lives to Christ. But no one
Knows better than DR.. Torrey that however impor-
tant 1T may be to lead a soul to definite avowal of
Christ, the results will be determined largely by the
fidelity with which the ministers and the congrepa-
tions shepherd and nurture these beginners in the
Christian life in the coming days
In the meantime deep religious interest has been
aroused far beyond the bounds of Toronto and the
thoughts of men nave been definitely turned toward
revival That the results may be abiding and wide.

advance Of the Masters Kingdom Toronto Presby.

In the prevalent Western conception of the Chinese
there are, think, several radical One is that
they are adverse to modern improvements another
that they have military capacity; another that
they incapable of playing significant part in the
political regeneration of the nation owing absence
OF national spirit. Without pausng to discuss
these propositions in detail will ask if these things
could not have been said, with considerable SEM
blance OF TRUTH about Japan half century ago?
And they were no more true of the japanese people
then than they of the Chinese people to-day
Inc chinese as people have never been averse to
modern progress, except their government has in
cited them to be and used its authority influence
to keep them they were. And this is true |
think, of the history of all peoples Take the mat
ter OF railroads in China. For many years, or so
long as the official classes circulated among the peo
pie fantastic reports about the foreign steam mon
sters, so long they taught believe that the
passage OF a railway would be a dissertation OF the
graves OF their ancestors, the people bitterly
hostile to the building of such roads and were easily
melted to attack surveying parties and the like.
THE FUTURE OF CHINA
In the great new future that is coming to this old
country two elements will struggle for supremacy
One will be the forces inherent in the Chinese people
coupled with such assimilative influence as Japan
will be able to exert. The other will be the more
material more advanced civilization of the West
Neither will entirely win the BATTLE but one or the
other will finally point the way L am no very Sc
rious believer in what is called the yellow peril not
owing to any trust in the motives or influence of
Japan, and not only because 1 have great faith that
the star of destiny still hangs the West; but be-
cause L believe that under any favorable circum-
stances the good and sound character of the
Chinese will vndicate themselves In respect to the
yellow peril it is interesting to recall what Chinese
Official OF progressive tendency recently said to me:
The future contains no yellow peril for Europe or
America, he remarked, but it does contain one for
Europeans and Americans In Asia unless YOUR ma
tions and people learn to treat Asiatics with more
consideration"
This is the voice of the new China and it is to be
heard and considered.-From "The Neto China" by
