THE LIBRARY
A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

The English is fast becoming the
world language, notwithstanding it is
one of the most difficult for foreigners
to learn. Strange to say, the British
have never sought to force their Ian
guage upon other people, as some great
nations have done. In Egypt, French
is still largely in use because of early
French occupancy, and the British au-
thorities seem to have made little di-
rect effort to promote the use of Eng
lish, which is, nevertheless, gaining be-
cause of travellers and business. Eng
lish is now the language of all North
America north of the Mexican bound
ary-a very important portion of the
earth. English is likely to come into
use in Panama; and all Central Ameri-
ca, as well as Mexico, will in time have
considerable English-speaking people.
In the Philippines the English language
is likely to prevail It is, OF course.
the language of South Africa, and is
likely to become that of India, with it's
300,OOO,000 people. In India condi-
tons are peculiar. Before British oc-
cupancy the country was divided into
numerous principalities and petty king
doms, with different dialects spoken by
different races. Had India possessed
single and uniform language it would
doubtless have retained it, but in the
confusion of tongues English is prob
ably the only language that can be-
come universal throughout all this ter
ritory. English is likely, therefore, 10
cover good portion of the world, and
many people are now compelled to use
1t in every nation. The French. Ger
man, Spanish, Italian and Russian, will
of course, hold their own in their
home territory.

STORY CORNER.

He was a sad-faced American tourist,
and as he seated himself in a London
restaurant he was Immediately attend
ed by an obsequious waiter.
81 want two eggs" said the Areri-
can, zone fried on one side and one on
the other"
low is that, sir?" asked the as
founded waiter
1.-TWO eggs; one fried on one side
and one on the other"
Very well, SIR
The waiter was gone several minutes.
and when he returned, his face was a
study.
Would you please repeat your hor-
der, sir?"
81 said, very distinctly, two eggs;
one fried on one side and one on the
other''
Oppressive silence, and then dazed
"ery well, SIR
This time he was gone longer, and
when he returned he said, anxiously:
"ould 1T be awsking too much, sir,
to ave you repeat your horder sir?

1.-TWO eggs" said the American, sod
ly and patiently; zone fried on one side
and one on the other"
More oppressive silence and ano her
and fainter "ery we'll, sir"
This time he was gone still longer.
When he returned, his collar was I'M

MISSIONS.
AFRICA.

From the Mediterranean Sea to the
Gulf of Guinea, more than half the
great continent of Africa, the prevail
inging religion is Mohammedan and
the rest, save for the few Christian
stations and the foreign settlement in
the extreme south, is dark with hea h
endom. The natural religion of the
Negroes is debasing and even those
who embrace Mohammedanism are not
morally changed. The advance of
Christianity upward from Cape Town
is of unfailing interest. While in places
where missions have been stationed
success has been phenomenal if the
present force of missionaries were to
divide the whole of Africa among them
each would have a parish half as large
as Massachusetts with $4,000 parish
toner's. The natives themselves when
they once understand what the mission
aries are trying to do for them, call
loudly for more help and the assistance
of the natives is a considerable factor
OF success. Today the opportunities,
made nossihle by David Livingstone, are
splendid and inspiring and even cur
sorry reading of Livingstone's Travels
in Africa, or MAYORS Daybreak in the
Dark Continent, or James Jacks Day
break in Livingstonia, should awaken
interest and desire to have at least a
small share in offering assistance to
those sad people who sit in great dark
ness.
Africa's greatest curse. Wherever
Livingstone came across the track of
a foreign visitor to the Africans, he
found devastation and cruelty by rea-
son of the slave traffic. Often whole
villages would be carried captive and
only few broken huts and utensils
left pathetically to show where a tribe
had lived The brutalities of these
Arab and Portuguese slave dealers is
almost incredible yet they went on for
many years unmolested until through
the revelations made by Livingstone to
the British Government a commission
was sent by Queen Victoria to investi-
gate and demonstrate with the rulers
of these agents of cruelty. A part of
the missionaries duties is to protect
the African from the slave dealer and
serve as best they may as a refuge for
the unfortunate wretches thus torment
ed.

NOTES FROM THE HAYSTACK
MEETING OF THE AMERICAN

IST.
Missionary Tewksbury summarized
well the programme of aggressive mis-
siOnary work by adding to the direct
efforts for evangelism these three aims
to educate a native ministry, to in
crease the earning power of the Christ
ian community, and to unite all denom-
nations in founding and developing
the Christian Church of China.
Overheard on the Williamstown
campus: II made the mistake of my
life in not needing the call in my col
lege days to dedicate myself to mission
airy service" The speaker was evident
ly a clergyman. Are other young min
listers making a similar mistake today?
The discussions of foreign missions
the last two or three weeks in the sec
ular press, greater in amount and more
intelligent in character than ever be-
fore, are in themselves an ample re-
warding result of the labor in prepare
ton for the Haystack meeting.

PICTURE POSTAL CARDS.

Many evidently believe that when
they have purchased card it is entitl-
ed to transmission like the official post
al card, and therefore affix no stamp.
1t is necessary to affix postage stamps
to all post cards whether for delivery
IN this country or abroad. Those for
delivery in this country which bear
written messages on the face require
TWO cents in postage, or the letter rate
whereas cards, for domestic destinations
without messages upon the face, re-
qulre one cent postage stamp.
A heavy volume which should soon

The freshness and tender SIM
plicity of Roy Rolfe Gilson's
books have won for him a large
circle of readers. Mr.. Gibson in
terprets child life with rare insight,
and his portrayal of little Bertram
has the same simplicity and charm
that have made his former books so
popular. The pictures Of village
life are exquisitely shaded, and
Miss Primrose's romance adds a
touch of sentiment and humor to
a story of delightful originality.
