A NATIVE STORY OF MOUNT KINEBALU.

Everybody knows that Kinekala is the great mountain of Borneo, but fow could tell how it received its name or the meaning thereof. While travelling recently in its neighbourhood I was told by old Rahman, the son of a Branei woman of the Governor's yacht Petrel, the story of the and a Sarawak Bandar, and the native captain mountain, which has at least the interest of all local folklore, and supplies a curious explanation of the name Kinebalu.

In my judgment the limitation of our afforts at this time to any traditional lines in mission sry work; the exclusion, except under the stern limitations of our means, of any form of work which will enable China to grapple with this situation, would be in reality a denial of the spirit of Christianity a misrepresenta tion of our religion which would go far to defeat very direct effort we might make for the Christianisation of China; it would portray the doubt whether our Christianity is really worth their taking. It is not true of organised Christianity, as of the individual, that it must be willing to be cast as seed into the ground to die if it would really live?

Telling the story of the journey, Mr. Cholme ley stated that he and his companion met on July 24 last yearat Kasams, North-Eastern Rho- desia. For 51 days they walked and bicycled through German East Africa, towards the Vio. toria Nyanza. Mr. delland's bicycle proved defective, so they shared the speaker's, taking turns to walk. The roads, he said, were aur prisingly good for that part of the world; the natives were hospitable, and the German officials, most obliging.

In short, that which confronts us in China to-day is the magnificent task pad opportunity of extending, to the greatest homogeneous by building up nu educational system inspired by the Christian spirit and permented with Christian ideals, and so helping that groot people, in this supreme hour of her history, to fix the ideale and develop the institutions which shall make her one of the great nations of the future, let us hope one of the great Christian nations of coming centuries.

The task before us is largely an educational one. Foreign scientists, engineers, financiers, and educators might conceivably assist Chins to reform har economic and financial system, develop her misterial resources, and build up her new educational system. But there are two insuperable obstacles to their actually doing so. China is too proud to allow this to be done, and the task would call for mere men than are at all likely to be available. Foreigners, our selves among them, can help, must help. But in Chinese; and the greatest service, the only really effective service that we can render, is in helping to educate the Chinese to the point where they can grapple with their own prob- lems and solve them for themselves.
