WORST IN HISTORY.

Accepting the early estimates of
the fatality list as accurate, the dis
aster is the greatest in the marine
history of the world. Nearest ap-
preaching it in magnitude were the
disasters to the steamer Atlantic in
1873, when SAT lives were lost, and
to La Bourgogne in 1898, with a
fatality list of ST..
Should 1t prove that other liners,
notably the Allan liners Partisan
and virginian, known to have been
in the vicinity OF the Titanic early
yesterday. had picked up other Of
her passengers, the extent of the
calamity would be greatly reduced.
This hope still remcins.
News of the sinking OF the liner
and the terrible loss of life in con-
sequence came early last evening
with all the greater shock because
hope had been buoyed up all day by
reports that the steamship, althou gh
badly damaged, was not in a sink
Ing condition and that all her pas
sengers had been safely taken of.
The messages were mostly unofficial,
however. and none came directly
from the liner, so that a lurking
fear remained of possible bad news
to come.

ness man speaking to business men, I
am prepared to say that the work
which has been done by missionary
agency in India exceeds in Importance
all that has been DONE and much has
been done, by the British government
in India since its commencement Let
me take the province which l know
best. I ask myself what has been the
most potent influence working among
the people since annexation. fifty-four
years ago. and to that question / feel
there Is but one answer-Christianity
as set forth in the lives and teachings
or Christian missionaries. I do not
underestimate the forces that have
been brought to bear upon the Punjab
by the British government but I am
convinced that the effect on native
character produced by the self-denying
labors of missionaries is far greater.
1.-The Punjab bears on it's historical roll
the names OF some great Christian states

lives. and endeared themselves to the
people by their self denying work, but !

us out of the great unknown there is not
one Of them who would not proclaim that
the work done by men like French, Clark.

out among the people for a whole genera
ton or more, preached by their lives the
nobility Of self-sacrif1ce, and the lesson Of
love to God and man. was higher and
nobler work and more far-reaching in
it's consequences
This is grand testimony for the mission
work in India-a field acknowledged to
have unusual difficulties by reason Of
caste conditions. 1t is true in Africa,
China. Japan. and everywhere in non
Christian lands that the missionary agency
has been more potent than any other in
f1uence for the advancement and uplift of
the people. In this topic the Christian
Endeavorer has not only wide field for
investigation. but one more fascinating
than the pages of fiction. If every Chris
tian was to preach missions. pray for
missions and give for missions, the world
would soon be saved
