THE SITUATION IN MANCHURIA AND NORTH CHINA. The commercial nations advancing into Asis by the mouth, and Russia, ever pressing forward by the north, stand face to face in Mancharin. One must gives way. Are free trade and its benoficent results to be checked by the military despotion of a nation whose aim is to secure the supreme position in Asia?

The annual conference of the Church Mis xionary Society was held at St. Paul's College yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. Bishop doare presided, and was accompanied on the platform by the Rev. W. Banistar, Church Mis sionary Church, West Point: the Revs. R. F. ~~~~Vobboid--and FT Johnson. There was a

Mr. BANISTEM addressed the meeting on this subject of missionary work in China, dealing mora especially with its "aspoet in Hongkong. The work in the colony was difficult of exeen. tion, owing principally to the entire absenes of that very necessary factor in the success of missionary work—the Chiuse scholar. Chines society in Hongkong consisted of three clauses, the morcantile class, the working olas, and lowest of all, the coolie clans, and thes people, by the intense materialism of their nature, rendered the soil of Hong- kong an unkindly soil. The work, however was not carried on entirely without reward. There were seven Chinese places of worship in the colony, three of them belonging to the Church Missionary Society, and they wore well filled every Sunday. What was more, continued Mr. Banister, it was a question in his mind whether there were not every Sunday moro Chinesa Christians at church than there were European Christians. It was not a substantiated fact, but it was certainly a belint. It was the intention to oxtend the scope of the native church at West Point and place it on a self-supporting basis. The one thing needed in the teaching of the Chinese, concluded Mr. Banister, was patienos, and the
