The following forecast is by the Boy. Gilbert Rail, M..A., and is extracted from his latest report on the working of the Mission among, the Higher Classes in China
Individual plans are inseparably connected with the solution of the problem that links China with the rest of the world. Thus far, though inheritors of an ancient civilisation. splendid teachings, strong race, and a com mendable political system, the dominant fortion has closed its eyes to progress, knowledge, and national stability, opportunities greater here than Japan ever possessed, and in the bewilder ment of the hour, the supreme question of the future governance of this great people is being folded and hid away in the napkin of international suspicion. My own reflections have led me to a conclusion something like
