Apart from the missions that assimilate the native custom and style of dress it has been 'adusitted by influential missionaries themselves that at most only do per cent, do any good in the Lord's cause in China and the remaining
20 per cent, ought never to have been sent out to China. The whole subject is reduced, if we go to bed rock, to the replies in the following questione :- Where does the greater portion of the huge aggregate of millions of dollars spent on Missions in the Far East come from?
Reply: (1)—A very large portion comes-as a result of heart-rending appeals on the "Cry from Macedonia" style of lectures--from the middle class and poor of our great Homeland cities. (2)-From the pennies of the weekly Sunday-school children in Great Britain and America, many of such little mites being of the struggling, poor working classes. (3)--
now on their last long journey,
The second question asked is as follows Bearing in mind the vast extent of territory of the Middle Kingdom and the hundreds of mil lions of natives "crying out for the Lord's Gas- pel," is it fair to the, so to speak, shareholders of the mission bank in China that the directors abroad should run this concern on such a colossal scale far and away above the paltry scale of magnificence displayed by even ruch ordinary mustals as merchants, and bouse the employees of their institution on a par with consuls and heads of firms in China?
Reply: While not in any way wishing to de- prive white men and wonten, who offer a por tion of their times for the spread of Christ's Gospel to the heathen, from living respectably in houses built of brick or stone, I am of opi

Mr. Slade said that towards the end of May last you, a broker called upon the defendant, and offered for sale the property in question, which consisted of six houses' known as
to negotiate on plaintiff's behalf and demanded a sum of 504,00 for the property, this sum heing afterwards reduced in $61,500. The defendant was not acquainted with the property, but the broker told him it was let for $650 monthly, and it was in consequence of that representation that the defendant agreed to purchase. Defendant taid the broker that there was nothing in his written authority to negotiate the sale, stipulating that $45 a month was being brought in, whereupon the broker took the order away, and returned some time later with a paragraph to this effect inserted. Defen- dant subsequently went to look at the houses and found that only two of them were tenanted, the remaining four having been unoccupied for a long time.

The evidence of the Master and Chief Officer of the Wingchai was that The Fingking was on the starboard quarter and as this agrees with the statements of the Yingking's witnesses, it leads me to the can clusion that this passenger's evidence, who admits that he was stargazing at the time, is of no value in assisting me to a solution and inay be disregarded.

Take nothing for your joumey, neither slaves nor scrip, neither bread, neither money, neither have two coats apiece. And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. And treat the sick that are therein and say unto them: The Kingdon of God is como nigh unto you.'"
What reply those concerned would dare to give, I do not venture to say.
What is wanted to end once for all this con- tinuous" war of missionary work" in China is this: Let a Commission be appointed of lay- men representative of all missions concerned, bind them on oath to report on all matters in China including the housing of missionaries, their dress, food, carriages, furniture and all 4,200
