THE AFGHAN TROUBLE.

London, April 12

The Secretary of State for India announces that one of the terms of the Treaty of Peace with Alghanistan of Sib Augass provided that if the Afghans proved that they ware sincerely anxious to regain British friendship tko latter were prepared to receirs another Afghan mission after six months with a view to mm-establishing a satisfactory friendship Since then Afghan politics had been obscure and there had been little proof of a real wish by the Afghan Government to cultivats friendship. However discussions between the representatives of the two Governments, with the limited object of clearing ap misunderstandings, frankly examining hy obstacles lying in the way of good relations and preparing the foundation én which negotiations for a Treaty of Friendship can be opened later, are about to be held at Mussoorie. The conversations will be purely preliminary and informal.

Mr. Dobbs, Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, is heating the British delegation.

EGYPTIAN SITUATION.

London, April 19

It is authoritatively believed the situation in Egypt is. clearing up. Apparently intensive political action is exhausteil and Egyptians are facing the question of what advantages they have gained Both Egyptians and foreigners realise how in been far seeing Allenby's policy has unastentatiously quelling the disturbances and enforcing martial law no discreetly. Influential native landowners"all over the country were getting restive under the supervision of politicians and asking what harm the English had done EgypŁ They are now admitting the only hope of justice is through the English. Moreover the strong line taken by the Alles at Constantinaple has been a calming influence and finally the European powers must recognise the need to get down to a practical business basis, recognising the material betterment of the people must be the chief concern of all involved.

APPRECIATION OF THE MARK.

London, April 12.

The movements of the lierman mark are exciting interest in the city where it has appreciated from 277 the pound sterling to 21 in the past week. Dealers in exchange öpine that the mavement is dun to political reasons rather than to an improvement in the German economic position. It is there- fore regarded as only a temporary improvement by a city authority, who says it is common knowledge that the British Government has assured Germany that it favours a more liberal policy as regards the supply of raw materials for in- dastre Factors against the maintenance of any appreciable úmprovement are the banks of northern Europe which are baling with marks and the inflation of the currency is pro creding unchecked Paper mener circulating has doubled within twelve months

FROM THE PULPIT.

A WELCOME REASSURANCE.

Notes of a sermon by the Rev. J. Kirk Macomashile" at Union Church on Sunday morning **

"The Lord will not east off for over. For though, He cause grief yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His Marcina, For He doth not affliot willingly, nor grieve the children of men."-Lamentations 331-39,

"He doth not affiet willingly". Strange though it may sound to Christian ears, God has been conceived as one who can find pleasure in the suffering of His oreatures, indeed similar Concept- ions pervade heathen religions to Ancient Israel was this day.

like an island in an ocean of degraded heathenism, and the prophets were like the granite cliffs keeping back the tides which threatened to submerge. Constant are the protests of these men of rock that God is not gratified by hecatombs of slain Crea- tures, nor by self-inflicted mort- incations. Reported are their assurances that He a swift 10 mark iniquity, that He takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner, but is slow to anger and delights in exercising metty,

is at any rate the cearest word in English speech to describe their condition. The point is not what Dercentage of them may be well treated or otherwise, but that their welfare ought not to be de- pendent on the conscience, the caprice of those who are over them. There can. no doubt, be tyranny in a child's own bome, but at least it occurs there under the laws of nature, and there is always some amount of parental feeling to modify it.

What do I think ought to be done about it? Wall, sweeping interference with inveterate cus- toms is apt to defeat its own ends, but there should at any rate be a strict system of registration and inspection, and most especially every means should be taken to raise the tone of public opinion in Chins, whereas all over the East, human life and liberty are held too cheap, and will be until the East learns in Jesus Christ the in- finite value of every child of m8).
