A Soochow dispatch states that Liu Shu- tang, who had to resign his post of Governor of Chekiang last September, owing toshis authorising the local officials of that province last July, and who has remained in Roochow to destroy missions and massacre their inmates ever since leaving Hangehow, is now under surveillance of the authorities of the former city." This is in consequence, so it is stated, of a. secret telegram from Li Hung-chung to Gover por Nich in view of dealing qut punishment

The Rev. W. Bannister said he would like to say a word or two upon the subject which had bean brought before them that evening. He. thought they all must be extremely indebted to Mr. Michie for the very broad and philosophic view he had taken on the whole question. He wished to speak from the point of view of the missionary. It had been tas privilege to live in China for over twenty-one years, and he would THE CRISIS IN THE like to point out for the consideration of ladies and gentlemen present some of the assump. tions which, he thought, were incorrect in the lecture. They could justly, venture to take exception to some of the assumptions put for ward. He did not know whether he had heard correctly, but, one of them which he would like to emphasise was that there had been a very universal disposition to interfere, North, South, East and West, with the political rights of officials, and the political rights of the people. He did not think justice had been done to the extremely difficult position taken up by the non-Christian population. He could give very fair instances of that in very many parts of the country. There had been a general as sumption of the disposition on the part of the Protestant, missionary interfere with the legal and political customs of the country, Ninety-nine out of one hundred missionaries did not interfere to such a very great extent as had been assumed. There were certain, things which came before the missionary, which he must take cognizance of, and the general argu ment of the lecturer was one which, he thought, must be urged more against the jadnient of the missionary, than against the general principles which he adopted and which were ail down by the missionary society. Then again the assumption of the philosophic post tion of the non-interference in the part of the Christian nations. He considered that they, as representatives of great Christian nations, and the great forces of the West must present to the heathen population the point of view of the permanent standing orders of the Christi anity which all of them professed (Hear). He thought for the credit of men like himself, and the credit of men like his Bishop, who wis not there that evening, but who had gone to Foochow, and men like Bishop Scott; men like Griffith Joha of Hankow, Bishop Moule of Mid China, and Mr. Muirficad of Shanghai, all of whom for many years-some of them for forty or fifty years--had laboured in China, that it was an entirely wrong assumption to maintain that they were guided by principles of craft and double-dealing in advancing their mission. Some of them had given not only long years of service, but some of their fortunes as well for the cause they had advocated, He thanked then for their kindness in listening to him, and at the same time he would like to thank Mr. Michie for the very careful review he had given of the whole question, and the philosophic presentation of it in his lecture.
The Rev. C. Boac said he was not quite sure that he had heard the lecture disfinetly, and therefore he spoke with some amount of diffidence concerning it. It seemed to him that, as far as he could hear, the assumption was that the missionaries were waiting, willing, and desiring to do everything in China except, the thing they were sent to do. That was the impression to his mind which the lecturer seemed to convey, and it was sought to establish that the missionaries were constantly interfer. ing with things which did not concern them. He had been in China for over twenty years and knew others who had seen 30 or 40 years service, and he seldum, if ever, heard of the interference referred to in the lecture. For himself he had only been asked to give advice twice in zo years, and in each instance a very pleasant and anticable reguit had followed, There had been cases of interference brought,
