were sold throughout China. To-day 70,000 are being sold.

This statement was made by the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, of Shanghat from "the pulpit of the St. Paul's Church yesterday where he and Dr. J. R. Temple addressed a large gathering of these interested in the work of the British and For

eign Bible Society.

$

The tremendous advance in the scale of the Bible, had only been made possible by the co-operative work of the Chinese societies, who had interested themselves in the spreading of the Gospel, sponsored by the British and Foreign Society...

and it was hoped, said the Rev. Shepherd, to organise a conference In the first week of January next year, when all societies would take part, following which the speaker trusted, one would ribt have the need to refer to the British or American Bible Societies, but, the Chinese Society.

Dr Temple, who was the first speaker. addressed the gathering on the International scope of the Bible Society's work. The latest achievement was the translation of the Bible Into

"pigmy" the language, which was being printed in Londen, and with the comple- tion of this work, 700 different languages in all would have been covered by the Gospel.

SACRED MERCHANDISE

The speaker wished to gratulate the Hong Kong branch of the South Ching Bible Society for their splendid work in recent years. The work started in Hong Kong and Canton was getting a high standard for the rest of China to copy. He was looking forward to the day when the Bri- tish and American Bible Societies would be linked together. The nim of all the societies was to place the Bible in the hands and homes of all the Chinese.

SOCIETY'S LAUDABLE AND

HUMANE WORK

The poor is always with us, and. although there are numerous de- mands on our generosity, there is one cry to which no man or woman could turn a deaf ear-the distress of an innocent child,

The sixth annual report of the Society has just been issued-a voluminous "affair showing details of the good work done. And be- fore we go on to describe some of the laudable and humane work performed, we would like to draw our readers attention to the fal lowing.

Twelve feet west of where the body was found was a blood stain on the road. This indicates that before reaching that spot, deceased had alid of the

In extenuation, Mr. Quinn stated that the defendant was only pass- ing through and did not intend to stay here.
