worship. They have never been allowed to enter the temple courts, and Hindu priests consider themselves polluted by entering the hamlets of Madigas or by being near enough to talk to them They are useful, however, as drummers, and when the leaders of any religious ceremony need their assistance they send to the Madiga hamlet and order as many drummers as they desire. If the Madigas fail to come, the farmers who employ them see to 1t that they are properly punished by having their work given to others, their food supply cut off and immediate payment of debts demanded.
 At vidaplapad, India, recently the 200 Christian Madigas refused to beat drums for heather ceremonies. To their newly awakened consciences such heather service seemed sacrilege The wheels of discipline began to move Already they were suffering from fam inc, but the vindictive Hndus made their misery acute. Not only were these people cut off from means of live lihood, but they had no credit and every influence was brought to bear to keep others from giving them work No merchant was allowed to sell them grain even on payment, and thelk were forbidden to walk in the main streets.
 At length, through the generosity of an official, they received work. under government employ. first in deepening the hamlet's water reservoir and then in repairing a turnpike road. Their brave stand for their faith touched the hearts of other Christian churches, and one church after another began to send them assistance. Finally the sup ply of funds was exhausted, but the long drought of eight months came to an end. The fields grew into green life, making so heavy a demand for labor that the Hindu prosecutors had to yield and employ the Christians.

Actions of Reform Svnnds

The Reformed churches, the Jne of Dutch and the other of German origin, have just adjourned their general synods D-he Dutch reaffrmed their adherence to .ne Heidelberg catechism, an act intended once more to emphasize orthodoxy and taken largely in response to Dutch churchmen residents in Michigan They also named a deputation to attend a world conference on faith and order, au- thorizing the members, between the pres- ent and the date of such conference, to represent the Reformed church in prepa- rations. The Germans sent to classes the proposition of the Presbyterian General Assembly looking toward organic unity, and are now saying that that assembly, at its Atlantic City meeting, misunder- stood in some measure the attitude of the Reformed church. In other words, Ger man Reformed leaders are now saying that union with Presbyterians is not near ,ly so much an accomplished fact Gs has been reported. Asked concerning union Reformed churches themselves, one of the Germans replied that the two bodies were never together and that sentiment in his body is utterly lacking in strength suffi- cient to open negotiations. The Dutch Reformed body has a membership of 125,- 900, the German Reformed 290, 900.

Christian to Christian conditions that has taken place in the history of Chris tian missions. Since the political occu- patton and control by Japan the num- Der of Japanese residents has rapidly increased, and a novel feature of the new situation is religious work and Bible colportage by Coreans among Japanese immigrants. The American Bible Society's agency in Corea Is now an independent one, and its first year s report as such shows sales of the Scrip lures in Corea last year of 116,492 vol tunes, an increase of 66 per cent over the previous year. New bookstores are being established, and colporters are sent into the frontier regions. Recently an edition of the New Testament was issued for Corea, giving Corean and Chinese texts together. Now the Old Testament has just appeared. and is sold at 50 cents per copy. Efforts are making to sell 10000 copies within the year. Conditions of Corean women are changing rapidly for the better, owing 10 teachings of the Gospel, and women are engaged, as In other Far East coun- tries, to place the Scriptures in tho hands of mothers, young women and families. Bible women, as they are called, are doing much to change the Corean family life, and improve the outlook of Corean and Japanese women and girls.

Macarthur and Baptist World Plans

Pressure will, it is said be brought to bear upon the Rev Dr. Robert s. Mac Arthur, the new president of the Baptist World Alliance, to induce him to resign his New York pastorate and take up the
 active work of the alliance. Formed in 1905, and only now reaching a stage of
 world power. it has never had a presi- dent who did more than to serve, ieav
 ing most of it's work to it's secretary and founder, the Rev. l. II. Shakespeare, who is also secretary of the Baptist Mission ary society in London. There is to be held in Stockholm in 1913 a conference of European Baptists and the president or the alliance is asked to preside Baptists are growing in every European country save Portugal, and into 1t they aim to go at the earliest possible moment. MT Shakespeare states that Russians make a peculiar call upon Baptists because they are immersonists. Unlike the Roman Catholic church and the Church of Eng land the Russian Orthodox church has never accepted sprinkling as scriptural baptism. A secondary reason, he says, IS the independence of the individual and the congregation, contrasting with the autoc- arcy of the state church. The Rev. Dr. MacArthur says he will not resign his pastorate until fall at any rate, but then he will consider his line of action lie admits very real interest in the vast field which the alliance presents. The next meeting of the World Alliance is fixed for Berlin in 1916.
