Some women had not put pen to paper and came forward to testify that they warned the civil authorities that a had asked this idol to grant them new superstition la apringing up sons, and where other idols had right in the heart of busy Han- been indifferent, this little one kow. He has suggested that the had honoured humble folk with authorities should take steps to suppress this, whole thing 88 a fraud, as of couras every thinking man knows that it is in essence. If this advice is taken, little Tu TI Kung Kung will lapse back into the whole ten coolies will have to his former quiet existence and look for burdens to carry instead of relying on the kneeling-mata and the ashes of the incense for the riches that Kung Kung exists to supply.

COMMERCIALISED. The question at once arose Hankow, June 22. who is to profit by this act of the Hankow is naturally a place God of Riches? And the obvious where the God of Wealth might answer was the coolies in the expect to be abundantly rever-passage-way. So these ten men enced, and so it is not surprising formed themselves into a com- to find him figuring in two forms. As "Ts'ai Shen" he is not only the god of riches but also the god of the rich. One can hardly imagine any but a wealthy mer- chant making his way into the great hall of the Wan Shou Kung and making obedience before the God of Wealth as he sits in his richly guided shrine to the left of the Patron idol of the Klangsi merchants. The mère carving of the great gilded dragons which entwine themselves round the pillars of his shrine must have cost a small, fortune in time and wages.

HIS HUMBLER SELF.

But as "Tu Ti Kung Kung" he is content to sit outside a temple or a house, and the meanest of shrines will suffice for his lodg- ment, while the humblest.. and the poorest can come and ask his aid in increasing their earthly gains. Linked as he is by his very name to the soil rather than to the riches which are indicated by the name Ts'ai Shen," he figures as the friend of the small trader and the carrying coolie. In fact, he is often neglected alto- gether for a time and his shrine gets very dilapidated. This was the case, according to a current Chinese story, with the "Tu Ti Kung Kung" up at Tien Chia Hang in the Chinese city of Han- kow. Just opposite that passage- way, there is the Monastery of the Ten Regions where a number

ONE GREAT CHURCH.

SCOTTISH MINISTER'S

AIDE.

Scotland under one great church was the ideal pictured by the Rev. James Montgomery Campbell, Moderator of the Church of Scat- land General Assembly, in ad- dressing the Assembly at Edin burgh...

"We are not to be satisfied with the particular re-union which we antielpate immediately with the! United Free Church," he declared. "The Scottish National Church of) the future ought to include in its membership every branch of the Church of God which has its root in Scottish soil and its place in Scottish history."
