Bishop Danson then addressed the meeting. He said there was not one missionary bishop in the whole world, who was keen on his job, he would not express grati

Speaking of his own diocese, Bishop Danson said Borneo wa sort of Tower of Babel. There the services had to be conducted in thing even different tongues, a which could not be done without the help of the Bible Society. They hid bibles in Chinese, Malay, and eves in the language of the primi- country, the tive people of the.

Forty. or fifty years ago, the dysks of one fiver would never visit their neigh bours on the other river- except for purpose of getting souvenirs in the form of human heads; to- day these same people would cross the waterways on great Christian festivals in order to be side br side with their former foes to re- ceive Holy Communion. That was a wonderful testimony to the work of the missionariea in Borneo and the Bible Society that had helped them Fifty years ago these da used to form crews of pirate b. ts hovering round the seas of Borneo.! In those days it was unsafe for ships to travel in these seas. It was Sir James Brook who freed the dyak from the bondage of the

PROVES GREAT HEALING VALUÍS OF. ZAM-BUI: IN HEAT RASH, SORES, AND MOSQUITO BITES.

Another striking tribute to the marvellous all-round healing capacity of Zam-Buk comes from Captain, F. R. Harrie, a wall- known personality amongst the merchantmen and traders of the Mediterranean and Africsà Ports. In a recont letter from his home at Bembridge, Isle of Wight, England, Capt: Harrie says

"For a long time my African coastal trips used to be signalised by recurring attacks of a fiery itching skin disease which first appeared as a blood-red rash about the groina and arm-pits. The least attempt to scratch or rub causes the scales or eruptive akin to come off, and as the raw surfaces dry, the pain and, irrita- tion increase almost beyond endurance

"One time or another, I must have tried scores of different ointments recommended by friends, but it was not until my skin had the benefit of Zam-But that the eczema gave signs of disappearing. Persistent applica tion of this powerful herbal balm soothed and purified my skia most thoroughly. It ended the trouble once and for all.

"Zam-Bok has the wonderful efficacy in soothing and healing rickly heat, and for removing poison, swelling and inflammation out of the bites of mosquitos and other insect pests. I used to carry on board quite an outfit of special skin preparations for use in hot climates: but Zam. Buk practically fulfils the pur- poses of the lat, whilst its pure herbal character and freedom from animal fats make it particularly and peculiarly suit- abla for use in tropical and semi- tropical climates. I never put to sea now without a stock of Zam- But in the medicine chest, Noth- ing can compare with it for all- round efficacy in skin troubles".
