CHANGES IN CHINESE WORSHIP.
Money Formerly Wasted on Ancestral
Rites Used to Educate People.

Some months ago the Shanghai Tao
tai suggested that the large sums of
money squandered on ancestral rites
should be used for modern education.
Already a remarkable response has
come from the Chinese of Singapore.
who have decided to devote to educa-
ton the money hitherto spent in pro
cessions and feasts in ancestor wor-
ship. 1t is estimated that some $780,
600 will thus be made available. This
indicates an attitude of mind towards
ancestor worship which is quite I'm.

If the millions of China would act
upon the advice Of the Shanghai ma
gistrate, not only would a great obsta-
Gle to missionary work be removed
but the national finances would be ma
terially helped by the economizing of
the extravagant and useless outlay
which is said to cost the empire some
500 100000 annually.

ruler. This step seems to have been
taken to avoid the difficulty which has
existed in the case of Chinese Chris

scruples with regard to the worship
of Confucius' which was required of
all who sought admittance to the new
schools and colleges. AS a result of
this edict Confucius will now be re-
garded as above the plane where wor-

emperor. Thus, says Record of Chris

TIE "WHITE RIBBON"
influence This Badge Of Purity Exert
ed Over One Life.

At camp meeting / was attending
one summer, a certain public meeting
was being held, and a large number
were present, writes Rev. o. w. Scott
in Home Herald
During the service a young lady
arose, and, while in the act of remov-
ing her jacket, she exposed a small
bow of white ribbon on her breast.
A little farther to the rear, two gen
tlemen were seated side by side. They
were utter strangers to each other.
One asked the other, What is that
bow Of ribbon on the young lady's
dress?' His neighbor replied, THAT
is a badge which the women Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
wear and he went on to describe its
use and significance.
The first speaker then said: q once
had a sister who wore one, but she is
now in heaven" Saying this he with
drew from the service, and, as it
proved afterward, under deep convic-
ton, and returned to his hotel in the
village near by
For hours there in his room he had
a long struggle. He was wrought up
on nightly by the holy spirit, and at
last yielding, he was happily and
soundly converted. He had not seen
the young lady wearing the badge to
speak to her, and she was all uncon-
scious Of her silent influence until the
following morning, when letter was
handed to her from this stranger.
The purport of the letter was this:
When he saw the little white bow it
carried him back to his boyhood days,
and revived the memory of his sister
who had worn the white ribbon" He
wrote that some influence had brought
him over from the village to the camp,
for which he was most grateful He
revealed that he was drummer" for
liquor firm in certain city, but that
he was through with that business,
for he had promised God that he
would never sell another drop of rum
so long as he lived.
He added: You don't know what
you have done for me, though you
have never spoken a word to me. l
am going home to-day. l spent the
past night mostly on my knees, and
| was saved and God told me that it
was all right with my soul. May God
bless you and help you to wear the
ribbon and may it and you help
many more as you have helped me.
Pray for me"
Truly the white ribbon has preach
ed many a sermon for purity and
righteousness.
