After a Century.

AS the result of 100 years of mis-
sionary work in China, there are
about a hundred and fifty thousand
native Protestant Christians in the
empire. The anniversary of the be
ginning of the work was celebrated
recently in Shanghai, when Euro
peans and Americans interested in
Protestant missions attended in large
numbers It was in 1907 that Robert
Morrison, appointed by British mis-
sionary society, and carried to China
by an American firm engaged in the
eastern trade, began his labors. After
So years there were six converts and
20 missionaries. There are now near
~ 1000 missionaries, and the number
of native Christians is doubling every
seven years, says Youths Companion.
The Roman Catholics have had mis-
sions in the empire several hundred
years, and count million adherents
and 25 bishoprics.

Half Hours with Best Husbands.


The suggestion recently made that
women adopt an arbitrary system of
social intercourse with their hus-
bands and set aside a certain proper
ton OF the day for this purpose, has
met with various forms of criticism,
according to the experience of the
critic. On the whole. it may be said
that it is with husbands as it is with
authors. Half hours with the best
authors are frequently unsatisfying,
because If the author is to ones taste
4 half hour is all too short a time to
spend with him, while if he proves un-
suitable, moment spent in commun-
lon with him is tedious. Generally
speaking, any arbitrary form of hui
man intercourse is unsatisfying, says
Chicago Tribune. Women who have
regular days "at home" have been
known to confess that the day some
times becomes a burden, and those
ambitious readers who have set aside
certain hours each day for the perusal
Of uplifting books have failed at
times to feel the uplift. OF course,
being 'at home" to husband is less
formal and less formidable affair than
being at home to friends, and the
reading of a man always offers a
piquancy unknown to books. but just
because the matter is one of greater
delicacy and spirituality it should be
removed from the drawbacks of for
mality.

REVIVAL IN KOREA.
Remarkable Religious Awakening at
Pyeng-Yang.

One of the most remarkable evil
dences of divine power has swept over
the city of Pyepg- Yang. This is the
result of the united prayers OF the
missionary forces in that city.
After a short sermon one Sunday
morning, in which the appeal was
made to people to confess their sins
and surrender themselves unre-
servedly to God. the people were
asked to make confession. Immedi-
ately young man prominent in
church work, with tears and groans,
made confessions of a sinful life.
Whena he had finished speaking. he
flung himself on the floor in great
agony, and sought for mercy. The
scene that followed was indescribable.

hurled there by a thunderboit. They

Mr.. Schwab. who may know how to
make steel and all about such heavy
work. has plunged into the woman
question and solved it without waiting
to draw a second breath. When a
man who grabs off a few millions in
one line begins to contemplate his
money he thinks that he must neces-
sarily know all about everything Mr.
Schwab says that Homework is the
noblest occupation for women and
that they shouldn't do anything else.
The girl who must earn her living, in
stead Of studying stenography or be-
coming understudy to a bucket shop
man, should knock at the back door
and see If the family doesn't want a
hired girl. Work like this, says the
steel man, will develop any girl and
bring her out as a perfect woman.
But where is she to get the job? The
women of the household will have read
Mr.. Schwab's advice also and they will
be keen to do their own work Mr.
Schwab can see that the scheme will
defeat its own purpose. In fact, many
women now employing help would dis
charge the girls if they believed what
he says, and there would be nothing
left for the girls but to drift down.

Strangely Marked Squirrels.

Among the interesting things shown
at a recent meeting of the Geological
society were two young specimens Of
the English squirrel, which had al
most entirely changed in color from
the usual chestnut-brown to a light
drab, only the ears and feet showing
traces of the original color. It was
stated that the animals had been
taken from a nest when very young,
and put in charge of cat, which act
ed as foster-mother, and successfully
reared them. 1t was suggested that
this fact might have caused the color
change.-St- James Gazette.

THE STORY.

1T. WAS with a feeling OF content
i ment and satisfaction which David
viewed the affairs of his kingdom fol-
lowing his amounting as king over Is
rael. The desire and ambition of his
heart had been gratified. He had OBJ
tanned the promise of God and was
now indeed king over all the tribes
Of Israel, even as Samuel had de-
clared so many years before he should
be. How pleasant it was after the
long years of conflict and vicissitudes
to be able to feel that now he could
take his ease and enjoy the honors
and riches which had come to crown
his efforts. There was no foe within
or without to dispute his authority.
It had been many years since the
Philistines had troubled him, and
surely If there were any in Israel who
were his enemies, they did not show
their hands. Everything seemed
peaceful and prosperous.
To be sure the people who lived in
the country adjoining the stronghold
of the Jebusites, Zion, or Jerusalem.
as 1t was called, complained of the
occasional depredations of this small
tribe. But what did that amount
TOT David had them hemmed in on
all sides, and they dared not come out
and meet him in the open. 1t was
conceded by all who knew about it
that Jerusalem was impregnable. Had
not the nations about, before Israel
had possessed the land, tried time and
time again to conquer the place only
to fail, and this not because Of the
strength Of the tribe which dwelt
within, but because the rocky
heights which surrounded the place
seemed to be absolutely impreg-
nable.
But Of what consequence is it?
David had asked himself many times.
Why should he concern himself about
the matter? Was he not established
as hing Al. Hebron? That were these
