1t IS not often that there is Suf- ficient moral to be extracted from brutal murder to make 1t wor- thy of notice in an editorial. The recently discovered murder of FL sic Sigel, of New York, by China man who was successively her Sunday School pupil, her lover, and then her murderer, is, how ever, an exception. This case de monstrates so strikingly the dan ger to American girls and young woman who undertake to incul- cate Christianity in the hearts of the "heathen Chinese" that 1t IS worthy of some thought by all parents whose religious zeal IS such that they may at some time be tempted to sacrifice their daughters on this altar of mis- sionary fervor. It is possibly a trite assertion that many a true word is spoken in jest but he who will not learn truth from humer- ous writings must miss half the knowledge present to his under standing. It was Bret Hart who in a numerous poem remarked that, "For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the heathean Chinee is peculiar, :" and no truer assertion was ever made in the utmost seriousness. The peculiarites of the Oriental mind are far too deep to be faith omed by American men, to say nothing of American women and girls, and the parent who permits her daughter to enter into that close association with Chinamen which is the inevitable outcome of Sunday School classes, should realize that he is far more likely to be contributed to the work of the Evil One than to that ofGod. There is ample opportunity for the expression of missionary zeal among the poor and unfortunate of our own race, and the conver- sion of Chinamen should at least be left to men missionaries.
