Gripping Fears.

Hundreds OF years ago China was one
of the most promising nations OF the
earth. Other nations have forged ahead ;
she stood still. No one thing has held
her back more than the superstitious fears
tha. saturate Chinese thinking. The
Chinese believe that the atmosphere
teens with evil spirits, and that any man
who crosses one OF these spirits is hope
lessly doomed. The whole nation has
been teTorized by this belief. Before
Christianity was preached to them, if any
Chinese merchant were going TO set up
in business, he would never think OF using
his intelligence TO determine where he
was most likely to succeed he would
inquire at some temple TO find in what
place he could settle without displeas-
ing any OF the countless evil spirits. BY
this method all the great and small mat
tiers of life were determined. The first
message the missionaries brought TO
them was "You don't need TO fear these
things" Everywhere they went telling
the natives that they could unShackle
themselves from those enSlaving fears.
From very similar point ofview Jesus
looked out upon the world OF His day.
He saw men and women, then as now,
in slavery of fear, trembling before the
possibility of poverty, or hardship, or
disease, or failure, or death. What
countless waves of fear still sweeps
across Christian lands How anxiety
and foreboding still ruin lives on every
hand Neurasthenia is one OF the COM
monplaces OF modern existence. Its
cause or its accompaniment is always
anxiety and fear.
Christ's message is just as true to-day
as when He first spoke it: "You don't
need to fear these things. The universe
is not slipping along by chance. God
rules His world, and God is not despot,
but Father Who cares more for the in
dividual welfare OF every child OF His
than any human father ever can y Christ
tells us over and over that we really,
literally, can depend on God. Beneath
us are His everlasting arms. He cries
out, "It ye, being evil, know how to give
good things 10 them that ask you, how
much more shall your Heavenly Father
do So' as il He said, "Doyou think that
your own Father, Who is eternal and
infinite love and power, is going to let
any real harm come to child of His who
is trying to obey Him ?"
II is as hard for us to believe, some
times, as il was for the Chinese 10 dismiss
their fears of the evil spirits ; but fears OF
evil spirits are leaving China, and fears
for material welfare will leave Christen-
dom in time. Some days we shall be-
lieve Christ's words, so that we shall 90
through life fearless OF what men may do
TO us, and unafrad of all that circum-
stance may threaten us with.

sardine Plant At Sea OF daIiIee.

A dispatch from Jerusalem says that a
company Is about to be formed for the es-
tablishment of fish curing and sardine
factory on the shores of the Sea OF Cali
lee. II appears. says the Jerusalem jour-
nal, the Truth, that for the last wear or
two great shoals ofsardines have appear
ed in these waters, and it is thought that
remunerative industry could be formed
if only concession could be obtained
for long term of years at uniform rate.
Representations on the subject have al
ready been made to the Turkish authori-
ties. The inhabitants of Tiberias, who
are extremely poor, would certainly be
greatly benefited. adds Truth, as the pro-
ducts would certainly be patronized by
Jews and Christians alike, for besides
possessing superior flavor the fact OF
their coming from the Sea Galilee would
facilitate the disposal OF them even in
Western countries.
