"In autumn, when the winds are low," some men long to go on pilgrimages. The modern Evangel to China would add the exhortation: "Take heed that your flight be not in 'summer." For then the unobservant traveller in the Kingdom of Lu will find in the language of another, old waterways turned into roads." The more careful will recall that the cart-roads worn deep in the soft losse soil, those old "Lang Wo"-wolf-lairs-of the peasant's imagination, have suddenly become gusters and stream beds.

We believe that the settlement of the Fockoan missionary trouble is now in a fair way of being completed. From what we learn, the Chinese authorities undertake to rebuild all the churches destroyed, and pay a sum of $14,000 besides, for losses sustained by the mission. The mission should be very thankful to M. Franding French Consul, as he must have had rather hard work to effect a just and reasonable settlement.
