"I, Charles Harrison, of 18 Stewart's Lane West, Battersea, in the Conaty of London, do Bolemnly and sincerely declare as follows:---
That I feel in duty bound to registor my testimony to the vains of Mother Suigel's Syrup, for I know that it saved my life.

The Seoul Press, publishes sa interview with Mr. Son Pynng-Hei, the chief propagator of the Chun-Do-Kyo, whose advent in the city has of Inte sttracted so much attention; and about whom rarions rumours have been circulated. In the course of conversation Mr. Son-Fyung-Hoi gave a sketch of his views and beliefs, the summary of

Our chject is to investigate the great untural laws of absolute truth, namely Providence, and as such to have implicit faith in it. Our religion somewhat rosombles that of the Tear-Aye, a now belief prevalent in Japan and following in some points the teaching of Confucius. According to our ductrine, men were born in obedience to the Providence which
rules each one's destiny, and throughout the whole of their lives they can never be separatod from it.
