Missionaries Mistakes.

Those missionaries who come out
with no other equipment than en-
thusiasrn make strange blunders. One
party of Swedes, whose advent is a
pronounced memory in missionary cir
cles, bore each a musical instrument.
They would play and sing hymns along
the street, to the, entertainment Of the
Chinese. The young women wrote
home glowing accounts of the crowds
they gathered by their street meetings.
not realizing at all that In China such
performances as theirs are always at
tributed only to evil characters and
the basest of motives. Instead of do-
ing good, they actually did only
harm. s ls< !. i5lg
Akin to these are the religious fad
dists who enter the foreign fields, rep
resentingS some special tenet or doc
trine. These make no special effort TO
reach the genuine heather, but conf1He
themselves to proselyting among the
native Christians. Still easier mission
work is that done by a holiness sect
in America which publishes a paper.
It appeals for funds to evangelize the
heather. and then spends the money
for sending copies of the paper to mis-
sionaries of the various denominations
already on the field! Thus, every mis-
sonary in Japan receives this paper,
and none, so far as I could learn, ever
read It."

Science and Immortality" from which

the majority of men express no fear:
or hopes, about the other world They
die as they have lived, practically. un

life" DIR. Osler gives in the following
words his own observation in this mat
ter:
Il have careful records of about five
hundred death-beds studied particular

and the sensations of the dying. The
great majority gave no signs one way
or the other; like their birth, their

is no longer the rule. 1t is far more
difficult to get the people who cali

500 cords were consumed before the
