that its mission Is to inspire rather than

Merchants and Missions.

Not long ago tie San Francisco Asso-
ciated Chamber Of Commerce sent q
party Of representative business men 20
China in order to increase acquaintance
and develop commercial relations They
had not expected TO come into any espe-
cisl contact with missions or to consid-
er them at all But since the mission
aries have preceded the merchants in
China they were forced TO learn some
thing about mission work. At FIRST they
were divided in their opinions-one-third
favoring. one-third opposed. and one
third Indifferent. But at the last meet
ing before their return, held IN Hong
kong, the matter was put TO vote and
the twenty-five commissioners voted
unanimously in favor Of missions. These
men were not merely from San Francisco
but were picked citizens selected from
Spokane to San Diego IN their oficial
report they say, TO the great work done
by the missionaries in all parts OF China

wonderful progress made in education

there TO be three great tasks before II.
These tasks IL thinks TO be commanding

so, and because the Church Missionary
Society does so, evangelicals in England

RACE SUICIDE: BY Dr. II. 8. IsemGn. CosmO-
politEn Press. New York City.
It appears that the author has gone
much further than the consideration Of
race suicide in the ordinary acceptance
Of the word. He depicts the status Of
the female among all races and at all
times, the causes OF maternal crime, the
effect of social and Industrial emanci-
patton OF the female in marriage and
birth rate, the laws governing reproduc-
ton, the average number OF offspring
necessary TO perpetuste the race, &c. He
also shows that sterility is as much prev
alent among men as among females.
He tries TO explain the cause why na-
ture refuses to give children. the causes
OF infedtility OF mixed marriage, religious
and intsrracial, and points out why in
dividuals for selfish or prudent reasons
do not care for children.
The author traces race suicide from
the time that II was practiced by a man
in a savage state He classifies II show
ing how and why and with what result
II was practiced by the ancient Hebrews,
Phenicisns, SyrIans, CarthRgenIans. &C
He goes into a lengthy description OF the
race suicide by people OF every creed
and during all epOchs up to our own
at the hand OF statistics that II has been
in vogue among Catholics, Protestants.

tons it produced.

The authors, in separate essays. direct
the reader OF this book toward a broad

fore the world for nearly a century, en-
bracing SO many complex ideas that II
has become necessary to define the term.
The work Is tile outcome of a conversa-

for fresh review Of our ideas Of social
organization from the constructive View
point.

Time and space forbid going into a de-
tailed discussion of the facts given and

Of constructive social ideals. There are

Neither Sir Ray Lankester. nor Mr.,
