tie best intentions, but with . wisdom lesa
good than their intentions. Governments
do not attemptsto force the non-Chrtstiau
races into the Christian fold. We do fal
better in leaving these things to the pri-
vate action Of societies. But we have
duties beyond that OF merely subscribtnl
to these societies. The force Of public
opinion ought to support governments IN
keeping a strict watch upon all those
who try to exploit the native, either By
getting hold OF his land or by trading
with him. It ought to insist ON the abso-
Lutte prohibition Of the sale Of drink tc
natives.
Justice for the Native.
1t ought to secure full Justice for the
native when he brings complaints against
those who try to injure him by force or
fraud. 1t ought to punish severely those
who abuse the power Of superior race,
and, above all, those who demoraiixe 1t
by the sale of liquor, or who, as some
times happens. behave i'll to native wom-
en-. It ought to be our aim to compel
those who 90 forth from among US into
ample Of conduct worthy Of civilized men
than many have done. The time in
which we live is q critical time, not only
critical for ourselves. but critical for the
relations Of the advanced to the semi
civilised peoples.
In another fifty years that which we
have called civilization will have over
spread the whole world and destroyed
the native organizations and the customs
Of the backward peoples. With their
old beliefs. the moral sanctions which
some of those beliefs imposed upon them
will also vanish. 1t is therefore all the
more important and the more urgent to
replace those sanctions by others worthier
and stronger, and to do this as quickly AZ
we can.
Let us, since We cannot help breaking
up their old habits Of life, often no doubt
shocking. and extinguishing their old
ideas. try at least to give them better
habits and ideas, and teach Christianity
by example az well as by precept. We
need q revival Of the true spirit of the
gospel among ourselves in order to full
fill our Christian obligations to those who
are passing beneath our control or in
fiuence. II they become beneath our in
fluence every Christian must feel that
they are. under God. in our keeping: and
that 1t is more than ever our duty to
lead them into the true light

CHILDREN WANTED?
Don't Expect Little Angels From the
 Little Wanderers Home.

We are in great need just now of homes for certain of our boys and girls who have not yet attained unto perfection,
 If you have a child who Is truth full. intelligent. good looking, obedient well-mannered a good singer, and with no bad habits of any kind, g child born in wedlock of well-educated Christian parents, will you please let me know?" This is the substance of requests which come to us with some what irritating frequency. The fact is that absolutely perfect children are very rare. We have never heard of but one and He lived centuries ago.
 Our children are just lke other children They have need of patient devoted self-sacrifcing care. Some of them are better than others. but none are perfect and none wholly bad Some are difficult to place because of some defect or peculiarity which requires special training to counteract Let this he as 1t may what better ser vice can a Christian man and woman render than in giving such children the love and care to which every child Is entitled?
 Any further requests for perfect children are superhuous. There is a great demand just now for homes opened to just average children. and to such as are not quite up to the average. homes In which patience. good sense, Christian example and training may be brought to bear upon children who at present are not espe- cially attractive and promising. X sincere desire to do good Is the only sufficient motive 10 service of this kind-Little Wanderers Advocate.
