lot erecting Extracts from Our Minmonary, Mice
Lula Whilden, at Canton.
Eninas Isnxx—l send for publication in Tbs
I*t>K, extracts from a private letter received
from Miss Lula Whilden, of Canton, China. I
have taken the liberty of pnblishing them, be
lieving they will be intereHting to many of yoor
readers, and especially so to those who are in
terested m the work of female missionaries in
heathen lands. Mas. N. A. Bailet.
You can aid ub in this important work
by your prayers| and offerings. And
though, dear sister, lyour mission in life
has been to suffer, you can, by earnest
prayers in behalf of the heathen, prove
as much a blessing to them as if you
were permitted to tell them the joyful
news of salvation through a crucified
Redeemer. “They serve who only stand
and wait,” and the hardest service is
the patient waiting, when we love the
Master’s work and would fain he en
gaged in doing it. There is a special
mission for the suffering disciples of
Jesus—they can pray. As we go forth
and sow the precious seeds of the Gos
pel truth, they can plead with the
Lord to bless it abundantly so that it
may not be lost but bring forth thirty,
sixty, aye, an hundred fold. * * *
Two churches belonging to our mission
have beeu organized ; the one in Can
ton with a membership of one hundred
and nineteen, and the other at Shin
Hing with a membership of thirty-one.
In Canton there is a school for boys j
under the superintendence of Mr. *
Williams. I have charge of a school :
for girls—formerly had two, but have *
been obliged to close one, as the in
debtedness of the Foreign Mission
Board made it necessary to curtail ex
penses. The other school was sup
ported one year by a donation from
the ladies of a missionary society, and
they kindly sent a record donation for
that purpose, but on finding that the
Board was so deeply in debt, I wrote
to say that the money could be used to
help meet the indebtedness of the
Board and I would endeavor this year
to support the school from my own
salary. I hope in a few weeks to open
anew school in Hanom—an island op
posite Canton. The young ladies of
the Citadel Square Sabbath-school, of
Charleston, S. C., having contributed
one hundred dollars which is to be
used for that purpose. * * *
There are seven native assistants or as
we call them—Bible women—who visit
from house to house, reading and ex
plaining the Bible to any one of their
sex, who desire to listen. Mrs: Graves
meets with three or four of these
Bible women once a week and has a
meeting for the instruction of heathen
women who inay care to eomo in and
hear the Gospel. On every Sabbath
morning before preaching Mrs. Graves
reads a chapter from the Bible with
those women who are able to read, and
it is explained by one of the Bible wo
men. On each Sabbath morning I
visit my school where a religious ser
vice for the children is held. The
Bible is read, hymns are sung, and
prayer is offered. Those who aio able
to do so attend the chapel service
where brother Graves preacnes.
I visit among the women. My Bible
women always goes with me. We
never enter a house uninvited,never in
trude into any home, hut leaye it op
tional with its inmates whether or not
wet hall read there. But the Master
always goes before and prepares some
one to receive ihe message He has sent
by us, so that we have never gone out
and returned to our home without hav,
ing had an opportunity of telling some
one of Jesus. Sometimes curiosity
prompts them to ask us in, they wish
to see rather than hear, and yet I have
found earnest listeners among those
who cared nothing for our message
when we were asked to enter their
homes.
Though the mass of the heathen do
not feel their need of a Saviour or re
alize their lost condition, there are,
thank God, exceptions to this. In
almost every crowd of women to whom
we speak, we find one or more earnest
listeners, who hear of Jesuß as if they
felt He was just such a Saviour as
they needed—to whom the message
comes as glad tidings. While there is
much to sadden and discern ng< us in
our work, we are net without our joys
and encouragements —encouragements
when we look into God’s word and read
the promises there—encouragements,
too, when we look around and find
here and there an earnest seeking
soul. Then we have our peculiar
joys—the joy of being the first to tell
a sinner of Him who came from Heaven
to earth and died that He might be the
sinner’s Saviour; Oh, it w a joy and
privilege to engage in such a work as
this. I would like before I close, to
tell you of a woman whom I met at the
hospital under the Presbyterian mis
sion where I frequently visit. One day
during this summer, I was in the bos
pital talking to the women about Jesus,
when a woman arose from her £>ed And
coining to my side, looked up into my
face and asked earnestly, <‘Will Jesus
forgive my sins if I ask Him f” 1 told
her that if she truly repented and
trusted in Jbbus He would forgive her
sins. She went back to her bed and
lay down again saying, “I have a yreat
many sins.” Her earnest manner
awakened a feeling of deep inteiest in
her. Again and again 1 visited Il;e
hospital with my Bible women and our
words seemed ever to her as water to a
thirsty sonl—she never seemed to have
heared enough—always seemed reluct
ant to let us go. “Come back soon,”
she always said when she found we
mutt go. I gave her copies of several
of the Gospels. She returned home.
Her disease was dropsy, and the doc
tor considered it as incurable. Several
months passed away and she came
back to the hospital weaker than be
fore. She told the Bible woman that
she wanted to see me. When my
Bible woman talked of death to her
she wept and seemed distressed. The
Bible woman told her to trust in Jesus
and seek His forgiveness for her sins,
and then she need not fear death. I
have visited her twice lately. She told
me that now she did not fear to die,
that she had prayed to Jesus to for
give her sins, and if she died she be
lieved she would go to Heaven. I
said, “You did not always feel so —did
you not once fear death ?” “Certainly,
I feared it once,” she replied. 3he
said, “I should like to get well and go
to Shan Tuk to tell the women there
about Jesus. They have never heard
of Him, and there is no one there to
tell them of Him.” Again she said,
“I ask God, if I get better, to help me
to live a holy life.” She united with
the Presbyterian church last Sabbath.
And now, dear sister, I must close.
Remember when you how at the mercy
seat to ask for God’s blessings upon
yourself, that far across the waters, are
millions who|have never heard of Jesus,
and pray, pray for them.

THE POPE’S SUPREMACY.
Was Peter the primate apostle, ac
cording to the Scriptures; and was he
so regarded by the Christians of the
first centuries ?
On page 22 of “ Familiar Explana
tion of Christian Doctrine ” is the fol
lowing :
“ Q. —And who again wrote as follows: It
is known in all ages that Peter was the prince
and head of the apostles, the foundation stone
of the Catholic church. This is a fact which
no one doubts ?
A.—The lathers of the General Council of
Epesus, A, D. 431.”
We have shown, in two articles, that
there is very little evidence that Peter
ever saw the city of Rome; and that
both the scriptural and hietoricitl testi
mony proves most certainly that he
was neither the prince and head of the
apostles, nor the foundation stone of
the Catholic church ; that he was only
an apostle, whoso special mission was
to the circumcision ; that he claimed
no authority or jurisdiction over the
other apostles; that he addressed the
elders as their fellow-elder; and that
he wrote not a word that savored of
modern episcopacy or popery.
If he was not a Pope—and he was
not —he could not have papal success
ors, and he has had none. His pre
tended successors are impostors, and
deserve the world’s contempt and scorn
rather than its esteem or respect.
BIBLE EVIDENCE,
Paul, the apostle, must be believed,
and Paul says : “ I suppose I was not a
whit behind (Or. meden iusterehenai.
Lat. nihilo inferioren esse ) the very
cbiefest apostles (11. Cor. xi: 5;) and
in nothing am I behind ( inferior to) the
very chiefest apostles ” (ch. xii: 11.)
To get rid of the force of these texts,
the Catholic Bible perverts them, in
the following language:
“I suppose that I have done nothing
less than the great apostles. I have
no way come short of them that are
above measure apostles.’’
Paul, claiming to be in nothing in
ferior to the very chiefest apostles,
writes the death sentence against the
primacy of Peter and the Catholic
church.
EVIDENCE OF THE EARLY HISTORIANS.
The extract, at the head of this
article, quotes the Council of Ephesus,
in the year 431, as saying that it is “ a
fact which no one doubts that Peter
was the prince and head of the apostles
the foundation stone of the Catholic
church.”
Let us bring forward the witnesses,
and see if this confident assertion is
true.
Popes Agatho and Adrian (in their
general synod the 6th and 7th) call
Peter and Paul the “ ringleading
aj os ties.”
Popes Nicholas I. and Gregory VII.,
etc., call them “princes of the apostles.”
St. Cyril styles them “ patrons or
presidents of the church.”
St. Austin calls them “ princes of
the churches, and says : “ Blessed Peter
and Paul are most eminent among all
the apostles, excelling the rest bv a
kind of peculiar prerogative; but
whether of the two be preferred before
the other is uncertain, for I count them
to be equal in merit because they
are equal in suffering.”
By the “Apostolic Constitutions,”
St. James is put in the first place be
fore the bishops of Rome and Antioch,
thus: “Let us pray for the whole
episcopacy under Heaven, of those who
1 igbtly dispense the word of Thy truth ;
and let us pray for our bisjiop James
(of Jerusalem,) with all his parishes;
let us pray for our bishop Clemens (of
Kerne.) and all his parishes ; let us
pray for our bishop EnocHus (of Anti
och,) and all his parishes.”
Epiphanius says of James: “He
did first receive the episcopal chair, and
to him did our Lord first intrust His
own throne on earth.”
The epistle of Clement, of Home,
c alls James the “ bishop of bishops.”
The Clementure Recognitions style
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-'WESTERN BAPTIST.
him the “ prince of bishops.”
Ruffinus, the translator of Eusebius,
calls him the “ bishop of the Apostles.”
St. Chrysostom says that “ he did pre
side over all the Jewish believers. ” Hee
ichius, presbyter of Jerusalum, calls
him the “ chief captain of the New Je
rusalem, the captain of priests, the
prince of the apostles, the top among
the heads,” etc.
St. Chrysostom, whom the Catholics
are tond of quoting as authority, says
of St. Paul:
“ He was the ring leader and guar
dian of the chair of all the saints.
“ He was the tongue, the teacher, the
apostle of the world. He had the
whole world put into his hands, and
took care thereof, and had committed
to him all men dwelling upon the earth.
“ He was the light of the churches,
the foundation of faith, the pillar and
ground of truth.
“ He had the patronage of the world
committed into his hands.
“ He was better than all (other) men,
greater than the (other) apostles, and
surpassing them all.
“Nothing was more bright, nothing
more illustrious, than he.
“ None was greater than he; yea,
none equal to him.”
The above, and many other extracts,
with their citations, may be found in
“ The Supremacy of the Pope,” pages
61, 62, etc.
Their authors, who lived both before
and after the rise of the Papacy, did
not believe that Peter was the prince
and head of the apostles, nor that he
was the “ foundation stone ” of the
Catholic church. They knew and taught
that he was neither the one nor the
other.
There is nothing else in. history that
has so little foundation as popery.
There is nothing more presumptuous,
nothing more preposterous, nothing
more monstrous, nothing more to be
abhorred, and loathed, and execrated,
and worthy to be annihilated. It adds
to, and takes from, and obscures, and
perverts, and hides God’s Word, to
suit its purposes. It manufactures and
conceals, writes and burns history, that
it may keep the world in ignorance of.
its past iniquities and present and
future unholy designs; and binds the
souls, bodies and spirits of its devotees
to the wheels of its death car, which it
drives to perdition, over States, peoples
and nations.
Read its history, and mark its track,
more desolating than that ot the famine
and the pestilence; and, while you
read, pray that as God has written its
doom, He may make haste “ to take it
out of the way.” T. B. Coopbr.

Promise and Performance.
The proprietors of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
tors promise nothing in behalf of this famous
tonic and regnlating elixir which it will not per
form. No pretensions irreconcilable with com
mon sense are made in reference to it, but evi
dence of the most positive nature has been ac
cumulating for over a quarter of a century in its
behalf which proves it to be a reliable preven
tive and curative of malarial diseases, au efficient
and genial tonic and general corrective, and
specially valuable in cases where the bow
els. liver, stomach or urinary organs are ef
fected. Debility, the source from whence so
many bodily evils spring, is entirely remedied by
the invigorative action of the Bitters, which ar
rests premature decay and repairs losses of ner
vous and muscular power while improving the
appetite and rendering digestion easy.
It may be observed that no attempt is made to
hunt up out-of-tho-way or unknown places to
find names to endorse Simmon's Liver Regula
