Curious facts observable in the psychology of missimaries point to the belief that the formal garment of religion in the East and West must diverge as radically as the paychology of Orient and Occident differ from each other.'

To exhibit in concrete form the facts about which the writer weaves his interesting. spoca lation, he gives some citations from the latters and reports of American missionaries. Since the conditions of life and work on the Christian frontier in the Far East" comments the editor of the Independant, are similar to those of the early days of Christianity, this article throws soms light upon New-Team ›n - narra- tives. Ta China the same effect of the environ- ment apon the missionary has been observed" The clations, with M. Limbuth's comments. are as follows :

A peculiar sense of the presence of an evil spirit ja evidenced thus -

In a country where the evil spirit is so dominant and a tangible, one comes to a vital sensation of his preseuca.”

Ceriainly I am more conscious of the real presence of the devil in Kares than in America Many of the missionaries bave been acutely conscion his palpable presence in the very room with them.

The consciousness of a real personal davil is a vivid as the sense of God's presance, though infinitely removed in kind. In Korea

you feel him in the atmosphere.

More important testimony is offered in the svidences of belief in possession by devils, a be lief that bus fastened with a peculiar and tena. cious grip upon the people of Korea, so that one writer calle the country 'the bunnted honse among the nations, afflicted with the delirium tremens of pagsaism." The Christians, too," says cre missionary, hold to the possession by evil spirits.' Damoniao. possession in that country sage another become a thing to evident to doubt,' Thousands of people asya a third, are slaves to evil spirits, in bondage to his Satanic Majesty (sic) while another de scribes a woman possessed of many devils, and still another tolle of 'miracle performed, the arazy made of sound mind, the devil-possessed set free.

service was a young man do. moniacally poskessad, made dumb by his indwelling spirit for three years. After long prayer and a command to the spirit to depart, it left him and he began to read aloud.'.

Another was a man with every symptom of damaniso possession, in whom, upon catebing sight of the preacher, the demons began to rave. Again, prayer brought a marked change over the demo.inc. He slept that night, the first for many days, in a vision saw that God bed 'driven the evil spirits out of his heart and home"

Professor Munster berg, of Harvard, bas invented a remarkable appliavce, which, he claims, will enable all the emotions of a subject to be recorded sad sli the secrets of his heart revealed,

Dr. Maasterberg, who all the chair of paychology at the university, describes his invention as a trath-com peiling apparatus.

The contrivance consists of thres "asparato machines, sa sulomantograph, a pneumograph, and a sphygmograph. Ths. Erst is attached to the arm and makes a record with pencil on paper, These involuntary writings are expressions of the emotions conveyed through the arm

The phenograph, which is a more delicate instrument still takes a record of the beating. Every variation from normal breathing, due to emotional suggestion, is marked by the machine. Esch expiration, in a word, write its own history.

The third machine, the sphygmograph, is fixed to the wrist to observe the pulsa beats. It takes another record of the emotions of the heart.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE

SOUDAN, N

RUMQUEED IMPENDING RETIREMENT OF THE BIRDAR.

A Correspondent of a homs paper says:- I have it on very good authority that a change is contemplated in the administration of the Soudan, According to the Angl-Egyptian

suprams

Condominium of Januarry 19, 1899, the power, subject only to the control of the Britis Agent in sico was vested in the Sirdar, who also took the title of Governor-General of the Soudan. But in the last eight years so much progress has been made and the limits of the Soudan have extended to such an extent that the work involved by those two posts is far too much for one man to accomplish.

Consequently it has hoon desided to separate the posts and create a civil Governor-General, aurt leave the Sirdar to deal with the military side of the administration. This innovation wil take effect when Sir Reginald Wingate retires, which, I understand, will be before very long. Rumour has it that it Wingate Pash retires Shatin Paebs will also leave. Buch an event is highly probable, as these two have been the closest friends for years, and have worked together ever since 1832. Both Wingate Pasha and Slatin Pasba will be agreatless to the Souda, mora espo sisily the latter, as no one has such an intimate knowledge of, and such influence over, the masy tribes of the Soudan.

According to "L'Egypte," the new Governor- General will be Lord Edward Ceil, at present joint Under-Sooratary of State for Finance, and for some time Sudu Agoat is Cairo and the. new Sirdar will be Colonel Fergusson Pasha, who was Adjutant-General of the Egyptian Army from 1901 to 1903. The former nomica. tion is a very possible one.

There is also soms talk in the clubs of the. pene retirement of Mr. P. W. Machell, Adriar to the Ministry of the Interior, and of his re- ceiving an appointment in India-most prob ably a Governorship. It will be remembered. that Mr. Machell married Countess Vails Gleichen, King Edward's cousin. two years ago. Mr. Mobell is to be succeeded by Lewa Hunter Pasha, at prosent Director-General of the Constguards Administration, which was the post Mr. Machell held before he wont to the Interior.
