"A Mentor Superb..... It is not an exaggeration to say that the "China Year Book" is one of the most remarkable productions of its kind in the world.....No-one who pretends to desire to discuss or study affairs in China can afford to do without this book."--North-China Daily News.

The "China Year Book" as it is presented to-day, is a volume that no newspaper, commertial, government, in fact any office can do without."-China Prone,

There is no single work containing such a mass of varied and most useful information on things Chinese na the "China Year Book." Similar publications exist in many other countries, but few can compare with, and none excels, the latest issue of this work."--Finance & Commerce.

The Golden Text was:-"Let all' the earth fear the Lard: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he make, and it was done; he commanded, ane it stood fast." (Psalm 33; 8, 9.)

Among the citations which "com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible:-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the be ginning with God All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." (John 1;1-3,)

The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook,-| "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures," by Mark Baker- Eddy:-There is but one creator and one creation. This creation consists of the unfolding of spiri tual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and for over reflected. These ideas range from the infi- nitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God." (p. 502.)
