"All this was promise forward witi andden sacitement,

rather than fulfilment, and one returned to the central courts to game again at the over astonish- ing splendour of these great palaces which seem to have been transported to the outskirts of London by the magic wand of enchantment.

They had been waiting to enter a new and unknown eity of palaces and treasure houses, and they had a "koon-edged curiosity which arged them forward. For a few moments it seemed as if there might be ngly orash. At the Uxbridge-road entrance a crowd of well-dressed women, the advance guard of an invading army, pushed their way with such impetuosity that there was almost a scrimmage, and when the crowd behind pressed forward in a douas mass there was warning orise from a for nervous

people.

Fortunately tho attendanis kept their heads, and with perfect courtesy, as well as determine- tion, they formed a cordon, which checked the disorder. They were helped by the crowd itself. After the first excited charge, theas tens of thounds of people, who poured cut of all the railway stations converging upon the exhibition, made their way forward in long queues, with admirable patience and good tem per, thousands got separated from their wives, and ladies signalled with handkerchiefs for sisters and friends. So they peared into the gallerias leading to the central courts and palaces, and the steady tramp of their feet over the wooden kors, the noise of their laughter, and the hubbab of their speech, in French and English, was the first good proof that the

Franco-Brithh Exhibition is to be the rendez vous of two nations.

What working' first impressions? Frankly, the first impression of all was that, in spite of the welcoming turnstiles, the exhibition was still a long way off! One walked and walked for what seemed half a mile of galleries, with delicate draperies overhead, through which there came socol green light, and on either side small rooms end large stalls, obiefly farníèbed | with piles of packing cases marked "fragilo" and this ad no.

There were, no doubt, many tresses within those ones, but not yet were they displayed. One room hang with beau Liful photographs, another with reproductions of ive pictares, tempted one to pause, but the erowl pressed forward, enger to see what lay beyond.

Then at last the gallery ended, and from those who stopped out into the Court of Arts there came the first gasp of astonished delight." Yes, here was the exhibition! One stood in a little world of snow-white buildings. Above was a landen sky, and the rain was drizzling drearily, but to weather could spoil the effect of these white palaces, with domes and miatrets, with white bridges leading to gallaries, divided by columna and balconies, with all the sculptured beauty of some Oriental city. Passing onward one came into the Court of Honour, surrounding a lake of grish water, rafted, als by the rain, Then the first exclamations of astomial- ment were Busseded by a silent wonder.. Under La blue sky the place would be dream-like in its beauty. Under a grey sky it was still beautiful.

Aorom one side of the lake rose a bridge of many archos with an exquisite effect of light into and grace, and here and there jutting ent the lake were pavilions crowned with demos, like Eastern morgues. A groat waterfa|| poured into the lake with a dull roar. In the Bun-it would have gleamed with gold, but Verterday it was like moltes leid, but not Lowered the Hall of Congresses, a fairy build. animpressive or unpictaresque. Above It ing with many pinnacles and minarets fretting 11honky-line, And this picture was closed in by Like Fraser-sad British-Palssen of Industry, great buildags of Indian architecture, with ornate facade and riably decorated moulding a

To those who had just come from the squalor of the Uxbridge-rout on a rainy day this woens was enticing to the imagination. Its perteot purity of whiteness was very restful to the eyes. | One thought vaguely of the Tai Mahalat Agra, of of some old dearm city of the Arabian Nights,

where Oriental women veiled their beauty:

Near by was the Palace of Music, another of these white placan, but ihnida ona had a faust of colour forit was here that the Prince and Princess were to bear the Hymn of Welcome, Bad it was copied with the oploure of Franos and frescoed with allegorical paintings, and oarpeted in d. On the dai was a borer of flowers and the gilt chairs for the Royal visiters -and their suites.

Having taken this glimpse one passed cut again, and then, for the first time, the vastness of this exhibition began to dawn on one. The Court of Honour was but the beginning of a grant city of buildings grouped round spacious gardens, where sirendy flowers are blooming in the beds and the turf is green and smooth, and where the ral paths lead to many by-waya lized by pavilions of the two nations, by Oriental kiosks, and buildings in many styles of architecture, from an old Bristol shop of the Beventeenth century to an Irish Bound Tower.

Unfortunately the weather was terribly un. kind, and 8's eagerness for piploration was damped by the steady rain. Bat, in spite of this, many went la search of adventure. Elegant women tucked up their skirts, silk hatted mon hoisted thúr umbrellas, and they splashed valiantly through muddy pools, dashed across open spaces and penetrated into the hooks and corners of the great city,

After the bewildering Boneation of the general view, after studying the exterior ap- pearance of the Palaces of Arts and Crafts, a long vista of white architecture, as light and airy and graceful and decorative as the genine of French teste can conosive, the smaller side shows round the Grand Avenue of the Colonias wore the most interesting. In the big buildings very few of the exhibits are yet displayed

There is much to be done before the exhibition will be really complete, but the impressions of the first day convinced one that for shear im- mensliy, for the bewildering variety of exhibits, sad for general arhitectural beauty the Franco- British Exhibition will surpass anything yot seen in the world. But oh, how it rained. I

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL

The 207th annual meeting of this society was held last month in the great ball of the Church Hense. The president, the Archbishop of Canterbury, took the chair. Among others present were the Archbishop of Brisbane, the Bishops of Hereford, Rochester, Bath and Wells, Wellington, Auskland, Walapu, Uganda, Lahore, Singapore, Tinnevelly, Carpentaris, Natal, Goulburn, Kinshiu, and St. Johe's, Kaffearis, Bishop Hamlyn, Kishop Gaul, Bishop Montgomery, and the Dean of Ely.

Montgomery, the secretary, the year's wort, and crud in South, Terdie the society was preparing to strengthen to any o

tant the Coinga mission. At Delhi an Indian professor, Dr. Rudra, was at the head of the University department, with English clergy under him→s development at which the society rejoiced. In Barms a strong brotherhood bad been founded, and it was hoped that a strong staff of women workers would be found there before long. In South and West Africa thore were many great problema tó be solved. Bishop Hamlyn must be given a competent sisir of men and women for West Africa. In Canada, where the Church was faced with one of the most pressing of problems, the society efforts, with those of the S.P.C.B. and the Colony and Continental Church Society, bad transformed the con- dition of Church life in the prairie divóėsos, The society's income had been £186,613, Special fands were fass by £6,000, but the general food had never been so high. The greatest development of work in the coming year would be in the children's department.

The President said that as a Trust so of the British Musum hehad sometimes asked why hundreds of tons of lost newspapers and railway timetables should be kept, and he was always told that the historian of the future would wank them. He pitied that unhappy historian, and could realize something of his feelings, in view of the mass of literstars issued in connexion with the Pan-Anglican Congress. None of that literaturo, so-far as he had seen it, was usisas; but he advisal' onch individual to selaot one partion of it for study. To take it all would be like eating a whole box of oon. centrated must lozsuges. It was advisable, niso to take one or two thoughts or guiding threads, and follow them through what might otherwise be the confusing labyrinth of roligious koow- ledge. Oas fruitful thinght was

that missionary problems, which might be described as territorial-when the world-wan-divided-into- watertight compartments, were now largely racial, In the United States the great problem was bow to deal with virions; in Canada how to deal with Europyan and Ariatio immigrants. Is South America, too, the laffer of Boropones and Asistion had created entirely now pro- blems.

Bishop Humlyn, from the Gold Coast, said that thousands of white map, word 'now to be found in that country, and Englishmen wanted their own church. When he asked young clergymen to come out, they said that their friends wished them not to go to such s dangerous climate. As a fact, he had suffered more from the English climate in the last two months than be ever had in West Africa. It

was heart-breaking that people should be orying out for schools, and eburches, and no efficient men could be got for them.

The Rev. W. H. Vance, from Canada, said that the problem there was not merely to reach the new settlements, bat to reach them first. Roman Catholics, Methodista, Presbyterians.

The Rev. J. Coles, for: 8) yıses missionsry in Madagascar, said the Christians were now undergoing great persecution. The French Government, trying to drive Christianity out of the country had closed a larga number of the mission schools, and had even tried to close the churches. The administrator in the speaker's own district looked a church door and took away the key, saying to the Christians that they could tell their God where it was. Even after a personal appeal to the Governor-General it was three or four months before leave could be got to reopen the church.

The Bishop of Goulburn said that in settled Australia, with its large cities, the Church was not only self-supporting but alous and generous in missionary work. The claims of Boattered Australia, however, were keen aud urgent. Their own Church people were, for want of the ministrations of religion, lapsing into a white has heniqm.
