NJ HINA has for some time realized the
" necessity of day of rest In de-
Gliding what that day should be. without
admitting any belief in Christianity, the
Chinese have designated Sunday as their
day of rest.
The American Bible Society established
an agency in Brazil in 1876, since which
time it has circulated $4,000 copies or
the gospels mostly in Portuguese Nearly
one-twelfth of this total number or
81 900, were distributed last year by our
nine colporteurs, who visited $50 towns
and villages scattered over the immense
distances of the Brazilian republic

but Missionary J. P. Stuart tells an in
teresting story Of this interesting event.
He says:
THE fifth convention of the Baptists
of southern Italy took place at Bisaccia,
a town of 10000 people in the province
of Avellino. the 23d, oath, 18th and 26th
of last September.
1T was harmonious and deeply spir
itual meeting from the start to the close.
There were present nearly forty dele
gates. Six of these We're laymen, who
left their work to attend. This means
much, especially at that time of the
year, when the people are very busy in
the fields. For the first time in the his
tory of the mission the delegates paid all
of their expenses. Among other impor-
tant things done was the decision to pub
lish a weekly Baptist paper, which is
badly needed. as We have no such paper
at present The paper is to be self-sup-
porting and in no way burden to the
mission. The night services were attend
ed by from 700 to 500 people. The new
chapel was crowded, and people stood
In the street to listen. This convention
and its success Is especially significant
in the fact that it was held IN Bisaccia,

The God of the Bible is a God of glad

plains, the forests and hills. the. rivers
and seas to break forth into singing. He
irnplanted in men their exquisite sensl-
bility to pleasure. and in that fact they
have divine commission TO be glad and
rejoice.
He even commands men to enjoy as
inperatively as He commands them to
obey. The requirement for obedience Is
in order that they may enjoy.
Religion is not forbidding or gloomy
1t does not interdict a single true and
satisfying pleasure. The great truth Is
that there is mo mirth so hearty, no
exhilaration so stimulating, no amuse-

The service required is in doing the
