The Rev. Mr. Barclay of Formosa recently attended a conference on missionary work in Chias at the Bible Training Institute, Glasgow. He addressed those assembled on the "Regious Outlook in China," and is reported to have said that "the idea that a man might leave the Ten Commandments behind him at Suez, and go out to China to sell ran or whisky, and generally rain the character of the Chinese with whom he dealt, and have the fall support of the British Empire behind him, while at the same time any man who went out for the purpose of establishing hospitals and spreading Christian literature, &e. would be left to the mercies of the Chinese, would not, he thought, gain credence in this country, or even in Germany." This statement Ins evoked in the columns of the Scotsman, the
REVIEWS.
China in Decay By ALEX18 KRATESH. Lon- don, George Ball & Sou Third Edition. Tun first edition of Mr. Kranine Chins in Decay appeared in November, 1898. The pro face to the present edition is dated August 1000. The book may be said therefore to have sold extremely well and, as the author elnius, needs no apology for its publication. The present issue has been thoroughly overhauled and revised, and a considerable amount of matter has been added, including a record of events of this year down to the reported fall of the lega- tions at Poking. It is a pity that this menda- cious story has been allowed to be inserted in the book, but we must do Mr. Krausss the justice to remark that he does not dwell upon the report or allow it to vitiate his arguments. Nevertheless it would, we think, have been batter had he waited until the truth or falsehood of the announcunent of the massacre ind been
ostablished.
Probably the book is familiar in its two for mer editions to a great number of our readers and we will therefore contine our attention to the new part, contained chiefly in the chapters on "The Revolt of the Chinese" and "The Futuro of China." With regard to the im mediate future, Mr. Krausse holds that it is a foregone conclusion that China will not be a lowed to go to pieces, if it can possibly be helped, and that all the countries interestal would be embarrassed by such an occurrence. The alter native of the maintenance of a foreign force to preserve priker he admits to be perilous. He continues:-

apparent Fhnician rains in Rhodesia. The | Wizard in the best-told story and deals with the wonderful adventures of a clergyman, who loves a comfortable living in England to proceed to a asrage people, whose chief attraction to him is that they have either murdered or deported every Christian missionary who approached them. John Owen goes forth with the old apostolle faith, and strong in that alone, actually removes mountains, until the chief wizard removes him as a dangerous rival. John's propaganda and methods are somewhat at variance, to some missionary ways in China, for example, and they are very much, we think, in the realm of fletion. It is a tale, however, worth reading, and is on sale at Kelly and Walsh, Limited.
Malay Sketches. By Sir F. A. SwETTENHAM"
London, John Lane. Colonial Edition. MESSES. Holly and Walsh, La., have sent us a empy of this very interesting hook written by the present Governor of the Straits Settlements. It was produced when the author was a resident of Perak, and many of the sketches were pub lished by the Struts Times under the title of About Perak. There is no need to dilate on the merit of the work before us, for wo owo to the Governor of the Straits and the Governor of British North Borneo all that we know of the folklore, customs, mannera and deeds of the Malayan people. Some time ago we reviewed a copy of Mr. Clifford's book, and Malay Sketches makes an essential companion volume. The book is extremely interesting, and the characters and events are not exagger- ated or overdrawn. All who read it will ap previate this introduction to the real Malay.
