Striking; Facts.
In glancing over some statis
tics of mission work in the late
contending empires of China
and Japan, these facts presented
themselves. In victorious Japan,
there has been, within the last
two years, not only a strongly
developed opposition to Chris
tianity, but an actual decrease in
the membership of the evangeli
cal churches. The Japanese
seem to have had a very rapid
rise in self confidence and self
reliance, which has influenced
their religious as well as their
political life
The Chinese, on the other
hand, defeated and humiliated,
have seemed to feel that they
are not and have not all they
once thought they were and had,
and in their humiliation, they
have become tolerant of, and fav
orable to, Christianity. They
have had frequent atd striking
proofs of its blessed influence,
through the works of mercy per
formed by the missionaries, and
their hearts have opened to it.
The number of converts has
steadily increased even in these
troublous times, and in not a few
places tnere hasbeena real turn
ing to the Lord on the part of
the people. While Japan in her
pride is turning her face away
from God, China is turning hers
toward him.
Not unfrequently is it the case
with nations, as with individuals,
that the days of darkness are the
days of blessing, because they
lead the people to cry unto God
May it be so with China.

Miss Clara Barton, in an ac
count which she writes to a
friend of the relief work she
and her party are doing in Ar
menia, gives the following ac
count of what is really a marvel
ous work of healing in that
stricken and plague smitten land.
She says:
A few words of our medical relief
may interest you, as it has seemed an
anomaly even to us, who went through
with the every day drudgery and per
plexities of obtaining physicians, pro
viding medicines, nourishments, funds,
all accomplished by Turkish telegrams
and post a thousand miles away. You
will recall that Zeitoun resisted, and be
came a battlefield and camp. This gen
erated disease, and in December and
January, epidemics made their appear
ance. On February 22d we were in
terned of the terrible state of things
that existed there, and as the thousands
of fleeing refugees had overcrowded the
town, they had been ordered toMaraeh,
carrying with them the pestilence that
reeked at Zeitoun, until in these two
cities there were estimated to be from
8,000 to 10.000 persons ill of typhoid, ty
phus, small-pox. and dysentery. Os the
few native doctors every one was down
with fever; thus, this number of wretch
ed, starving people lay in the throes of
agony and death from the clutches of
these four terrible enemies.
A few resident missionaries had stood
at their posts like martyrs, feeding the
hungry so far as they could, but this
contagion was beyond their power to
grapple with In this condition we
were prayed by them and the Britith
ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, as well.
11 go to the relief of these stricken cit
ies By telegram and post we secured
a corps of physicians from Beyrout,
who, after much delay and trouble, suc
ceeded in reaching Marash under mili
tary escort, ordered by the Porte, and
on April 19th, after a journey by sea
and land of fourteen days, weary and
worn, their brave surgeon in charge,
Dr. Ira Harris, of Tripoli, himself in an
attack of malarial fever, took up the
work on these fearful fields of fourfold
contagion, Dr. Hubbell with his cara
van of supplies, had reached there before
them. A hundred a day was the aver
age mortality. Temporary hospitals
were made, and so near famine were
they, that food had to be given before
medicines could be retained on the
stomach. But kindness, care, food,
beds, and cleanliness brought rest and
hope. Against these and the treatment
of skilled physicians even the deadly
fevers were no match and fled. For
once evil was vanquished by good.
, On May 24th Dr. Harris reported the
contagion overcome, and took his leave,
with his band of physicians of the cities
that owed so much to them. The few
local doctors who had survived were
able to assume the charge of the conva
lescents, while it is our pleasure to pro
vide the suitable nutrition.
I consider the work of those physicians
and the success of that field as little less
than marvelous. Ten thousand people
ill of contagious epidemics, with a hun
dred deaths per day, to be in less than
two months brought on to their feet and
counted again in health, is something
I have not known in the contagion
smitten cities of civilization. Without
this check one sees nothing but the di
rect interposition of Providence to have
prevented this scourge from running
riot through the entire interior of Asia
Minor,
The seed was sown well for a harvest
of death.

Memorial Windows —An exchange
well says: “The inscription, ‘To the
glory of God,’ is often seen under a
stained glass window in our churches,
given by one who does little or nothing
for Foreign Missions. But would it not
rather be to the glory of God to do what
he has told us, and evangelize the world,
and in that way please him, instead of
planning out ways of our own and do
ing things ■with which we think he ought
to be pleased! ‘Hath the Lord as great
delight in burnt offerings as in obeying
the voice of the Lord? Behold to obey
is better than sacrifice and to hearken
than the fat of rams.’”
We may be very old-fashioned,
or even old fogy, in our views,
but we are persuaded that there
is more to minister to human
pride than to God’s glory in fine
and costly church bedeckings.
There is no little of sin in them,
especially when churches go in
debt for them, and then plead
their debts as excuses for mak
ing small contributions to mis
sions. Not a few churches live
like -Dives, while poor heathen
Lazaruses are dying at the doors,
not even receiving crumbs.
An Important Proclamation in
China --During the last week in June,
the viceroy of Nanking (a very impor
tant city, and formerly capital of the
empire), issued a favorable proclama
tion concerning foreigners, which con
ained the following important clause
respecting missionaries: “In the case
of the churches and hospitals that have
been established by the French,
English, and American missionaries for
preaching and healing, these are indeed
works of benevolence Law abiding
citizens should harbor no suspicions as
to their doings, but rather treat them
with great respect on all occasions
Any one who, without cause, stirs up
trouble or incites to riot, is a law
breaker, and will be punished without
leniency. Citizens should all attend
only to their own business, and not fol
low idle rumors, and thus, unawares,
be caught in the clutches of the law.
The inspectors of police and magis
trates of this district are all instructed
to give protection and act energetically.
1 have already ordered those who are
under my service to seize and punish
severely’if any trouble arises" The
Missionary.
This proclamation, which is
only one of many similar ones
which have recently been issued
by Chinese officials, is not only
important in itself and in its di
rect bearing.on missions and mis
sionaries,but it furnishes a singu
lar and striking illustration of the
way in which facts on foreign
fields often answer the attacks
made by opposers of missions on
the work. Since the Kucheng
massacre, some months ago,
many enemies of missions have
been emphasizing the hatred of
the Chinese for missions and mis
sion workers, and even calling
for their withdrawal But lo !
the Chinese officials, as if to
answer these opposers, are com
ing out in frequent proclamations
praising the missionaries and
urging their people to receive
and honor them.
Baptist Missions in Japan —On
the tenth of last April the American
Baptist Mission held its annual confer
ence in Kobe. It reported a force of 57
missionaries, 24 churches, 1,800 commit
nicants, $1,513 contributed by these
churches, a theological seminary, 110 na
tive workers, 84 stations and 20 school",
attended by 050 pupils. —A’x.
This seems a small force to be
at work among forty millions of
people. Yet this little force is a
spiritual one and has God on its
side. This small force repre
sents spiritual Christianity, be
ing composed of converted peo
ple. Among them is to be found
little, if any, of the ratioralistic
infidelity which has characterized
the converts of some Christian
bodies. If these “feeble folk”
have our sympathy, prayers and
reinforcement, what may they
not accomplish? Do you pray
for them ever?
Burning Bibles in Peru. The
condition of Peru may be easily inferred
from the fact that in December last, at
the request of the provincial vicar and
of the parish priest, and under the offi
cial sanction of the civil authorities,
twenty thr j e copies of the wh< le Bible,
twenty-six New Testaments, and thirty
seven Gospels were publicly burned in
the square of the city of San Miguel,
Pern And yet people in the United
States think missionaries are not needed
in South America !— Ej>.
So would it be in this country
if Romanism had full sway.
Rome and the Bible do not thrive
together. The Bible is light and
Rome does not love it. It loves
high walls and cells, and closed
windows and bars.
God’s Enterprise.
There is just one enterprise that orig
inated solely with God. From beginning
to end it is his scheme It was formed
in his own purpose, and is to be carried
on in his own way, under his instruc
tions, and for his glory. No man knew
the mind of the Lord, or being his coun
sellor taught him, or even had part in
his original councils on this matter.
God perfected the plan and then simply
revealed it. and invited or enjoined be
lieving disciples to take part in it as a
divine enterprise Hence its authority is
unique, the authority of an imperial
command; its recommendation is found,
not in its obvious expediency, but in its
majestic authorship and leadership; and
its vindication is not dependent simply
upon its apparent success. It is not a
question of utility, measured by man’s
standards; and to ask, “Does this pay ?”
is irreverent and impertinent. This one
divine enterprise is missions—bearing
the Gospel to a lost race.
Behind this scheme lie the sevenfold
attributes of God. Being divine, not
human, it has no fallible elements in it,
and so admits no improvement. To
modify it essentially is audacity; to
abandon it is apostasy. Omniscience as
sures to it Goa's wisdom; omnipotence
backs it up with almighty power. Ini’
are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge; it is the expression of God’s
love and grace to man. It cannot ulti
mately fail, notwithstanding man’s un
belief, disobedience and disloyalty. If
Gods instruments prove useless and
worthless, he will feshion others, but
his eternal purpose will surely work out
its final issue to the shame and ruin of
all opposers and idlers.
This view of missions is too seldom
presented before us, even by the advo
cates of a world’s evangelization. Chris
tian missions are talked of and written
about, as though, like a thousand other
philanthropic schemes, they had their
author and authority in man, depended
on man for their very continuance, and
were subject to a man’s modification, or
even abolition, as imperfect,or no longer
needful or useful Hence the disposi
tion of this utilitarian age to weigh
missionary effort in the scales of human
policy, with money and human life and
labor on one side, and converts and so
called “results” on the other, and then
estimate bow far the outlay is justified'
As though God had ever annulled his
command or asked man to sit in judg
ment on the expediency of his plans, or
had committed to any human court or
commission the right to modify an en
terprise which he had originated.— Mis
sion Review of the World.

A Sister State.
Our readers will be interested
in keeping up with the young
people's work in other States.
Mississippi agitated the matter
of State organization at the last
convention, and as a result they
expect,with that convention’s ap
proval, to organize this fall.
Tennessee reached a similar re
sult at the convention a year ago
and will organize her young peo
pie this month at Chattanooga.
So we have the movement with
us now in organized, form. It
has become as general as the
State Sunday school work, if not
not more so. We believe Flor
ida, Louisiana and Kentucky are
alone in having no general or
ganization, either established or
on foot. All this is the work of
the last year and a half. It justi
fies our own conviction expressed
previous to the Washington Con
ference, that once the question
of affiliation was settled our peo
ple would get things in shape
We believe the agitation for a
Southern Union has made possi
ble these new organizations. We
hope now to see a wide extension
of this work on wise lines that
will serve to perpetuate all that
is best among us for the future.
Satisfactory Outlook.
It may not be amiss to tell our
readers that there is now a very
fine prospect for a point of co
operation between the Inter
national Union and the Southern
Union that will give the fullest
fraternity while preserving the
integrity of each. It is a pleas
ure to find a spirit of great fair
ness characterizing the minds of
the leaders at Chicago. One
trouble has been that the skirm
ishers have hitherto done most
of the consulting. As a result
it has been at long range and
with guns. We are sure a better
understanding will prevail in a
little while. Whatever may come,
we are sure the Southern Union
representatives have done all in
their power to bring about a real
spirit of fraternity. Rev. John
D Jordan will take up his work
at once. His initial appearance
will be at the Tennessee meeting.
It is probable he will be at all
the State Conventions this fall,
also to meet the brethren and get
acquainted with the needs. With
energy and wisdom great ad
vances can be made this coming
season.
Fh« Young People s Leader Topic-
Sept 6.—Sowing and Reaping.—
Gal. 6.7.
This verse sets forth a great
law. It seems as if here natural
law did hold in the spiritual
world. It is the law familiar to
us of reaping what we sow. The
law finds its illustration from na
ture, it finds application every ■
where.
Naturally we are at the very
first struck with the thought <of
absolute certainty of reaping the
same thing that we sow. This is
the foundation thought of the
passage. In seed sowing we all
recognize its force. In the realm
of morals and general conduct
we do not so willingly let the
truth shine out. A man who
should sow corn and expect cot
ton would be laughed at. Yet
many of us for ourselves and
others, do believe we can sow
frivolity and evil when young
and reap earnestness and moral
ity when old. If our text means
anything, however, it does mean
that there is an absolutely certain
connection between the acts or
thoughts we sow and the habits
and thoughts we reap. Os the
same kind must the reaping be.
Related to this is the further
proper inference that reaping al
ways implies a multiplied har
vest in kind. Not only isthe ex
act kind reproduced but more of
it than was sown. This is the
Sose in the sowing in the
s. Otherwise it would be fol
ly, as a part is expected to die.
We have learned, however, that
seeds multiply manyfold. These
two laws are the basis of the far
mer’s assurance. He will .get
the same thing and get it in much
greater quantity. So it is in all
our sowing. Our acts, thoughts,
purposes, are seeds. They bring
forth other acts, thoughts and
purposes, and bring the min mul
tiplied form and intensified
strength.
This verse gives us also a very
graphic view of the extent of this
law. “Whatsoever” is the word
it uses. This, like whosoever, is
one of the great far-reaching
words. Just how far may be
seen from the context. Paul has
been speaking of the matter of
fair dealings with pastors and
preachers, especially in money
matters. He warns them by the
law of this text that what we
sow we reap. So it applies to
our money dealings. In the next
verse it is applied to the life of
the flesh or the Spirit. Here the
law also holds good. Between
these two stretch all the deeds of
life. It is a universal law.
As a final lesson let us bear in
mind that this law is an incen
tive to good as well as a warning
against evil. It applies to every
good deed and thought. It is
certain that evil now will bring
forth evil hereafter. It is just as
certain, however, that good now
will bring forth good hereafter.
We can use this law as a founda
tion on which to build the struc
ture of what we wish to be. It
is a blessed thought to realize
that we can assure not only the
present but the future, by what
we are doing each day. This
text will be a warning to some, a
blessing to others. It is not too
late to make it a blessing for us
all.
The Baptist Union Topic, Sept. 6
The Christian s Mission. 2 Cor.
5:18 21.
It is the great mission of the
Christian that is described. It
is a lofty mission also and one of
great honor. Summed up, it is
to be an ambassador for Christ.
In Christ’s stead we are to stand.
The ambassador represents his
sovereign. In our days, with
cables at every point, being an
ambassador has lost much of its
meaning. In Bible days, when
ambassadors went on missions
that isolated them from their
governments and brought emer
gencies in which the ambassa
dor must act for his sovereign,
he was in that sovereign’s stead.
The object however for which
we are thus authorized to repre
sent Christ is distinctly stated.
It is in persuading men to be
reconciled to God. We are not
sent out with a roving commis
sion to deal with men as we
please Representing Christ, we
are given definite instructions.
We are to beseech men to be rec
onciled to God. Lo then this is
our mission. When we take to
ourselves the high honor of call
ing ourselves the ambassadors
of Christ, let us see if we are at
the business that justifies that
claim. We may be managing
church affairs ever so wisely and
yet fail to be reconciling men to
God. That is the seal of our
ambassador shi p.
The basis of this reconcilia
tion is that God has, in Jesus
Christ, made it possible. As
verse 21 says “ For he made him
to be sin for us who knew no sin,
that we might be made the righ
teousness of God in him.” This
making of Christ our sin bearer
has made possible the reconcil
ing of God to men, and obsta
cles out of the way, men need
but to be brought to God by this
road, to have the reconciliation
effected.
We are also informed here as
to the credentials for entering on
the work of an ambassador. It
is that we have ourselves been
reconciled, given to us
the ministry based on an expert
ence. Only when we have felt
the redeeming love of God for
ourselves can we become ambas
sadors to carry it to others.
Two lessons ought to go with
us. First, that this ministry is
committed to us. Not to angels,
but to the redeemed. God raises
up his servants for special work,
but he has laid upon each re
deemed soul the duty of recon
ciling lost men to God. It is not
a voluntary matter for us, irre
spective of our command. It has
been d rectiy committed to u=,
and that implies responsibility.
The other lesson is that
we are to beseech men as though
it were God beseeching. Can
we conceive of that ? When we
remember the untiring pleadings
and unceasing labors of God to
win men, we must falter be
fore such a lofty ideal. Let us
take our place where its light
can break upon us and with fee
ble tongue and faltering words,
but unfailing purpose, carry the
message of reconciliation.

DAVID’S GRATITUDE TO GOD.
Lesson for Sunday, Sept. 13,
1896.
Scripture Lesson. —2 Sam.
22:40 51.
Motto Text.—“ The Lord is
my rock and my fortress, and my
deliverer.” 2 Sam. 22:2.
Reminiscences. — David is get
ting to be an old man, and in this
lesson he recalls and furnishes
us some of his experiences. It
is delightful to see one grow old
gracefully, gratefully. Old age,
no less than youth, has its temp
tations, though they be of differ
ent kind. Too often it becomes
sour and peevish and ungrateful.
It is refreshing to find a life like
David’s coming to its end in the
calm and sublime splendor of an
humble gratitude. The fragrance
of such a spirit abides perpetual
ly. As David reviews the honors
and successes of his life—and
they have been brilliant—he as
cribes all the praise and glory of
them to the God who guided and
guarded him through the years.
He has little to say of himself.
He refers to his own life only as
a background to furnish proper
setting for God’s goodness and
deliverances.
The Lord's Girding.— David rec
ognizes his success >n battle as
due to the fact that the Lord had
girded him with strength. It is
less a matter of importance to
consider the kind of weapon we
use than to look well to the prop
er source of supply. The weap
ons God supplies are not usually
the most effective simply in
themselves. David’s sling and
stone seemed a trifle as compared
with Goliath’s heavy armor and
sword. Yet the Lord gave
strength and victory th rough such
unworthy means. It is always
wise and profitable to adhere
firmly to the means of the Lord’s
appointment. Nothing can ever
be so effectual for the real pur
poses of righteousness as the
simple preaching of the Gospel
of Christ. Simple faith is better
than wise philosophy. Humble
prayer is greater than a standing
army. Plain and direct truth,
spoken in love is better than all
policies and schemes and devices
for bringing things to pass. To
tal abstinence upon the part of
Christians and faithful church
discipline toward those who of
fend in the use of strong drink
would accomplish some results
that can never be expected from
civil laws. It should be a very
simple principle that if we serve
the Lord as Master, it certainly
becomes us to use the means he
appoints and strive in the
strength he gives.
Small as the Dust of the Earth.—
David’s victories had been very
decisive. He had put completely
out of his way the Canaantish
tribes that had troubled him.
This is perhaps all he means by
saying that he beat them as small
as the dust of the earth, and did
stamp them as the mire of the
street. He had so completely
subdued his enemies as that he
was not continually afraid of new
uprisings or fresh outbreaks. He
could return from his victories to
rest in peace, feeling secure from
further invasion or attacks. It is
all important to make thorough
work of a matter. Many a task,
through being ill done, needs to
be done over and over again An
enemy maimed or crippled may
yet cause great vexation until
thoroughly out of the way.
Victories Without and Within.—
David had had strivings with his
own people as well as conflicts
with the heathen. Fightings
that are within are often more
cruel than wars that are without.
Perhaps David’s fiercest trial had
been in the rebellion of his own
son Absalom. Paul tells of his
perils among false brethren. The
church suffers not so much from
the assaults of infidels as from
the hollow and unworthy profes
sion and worldly, inconsistent
lives of its own members. The
Chris'ian soldier must be armed
at every point and watch for dan
ger from every direction. David
in a time of general peace and
tranquility can lift his heart and
voice in praise to God for many
complete victories.
To God all the Praise. — David a’ •
tributes his every victory and
success to the Lord’s blessing
and power. He claims nothing
for his own skill, bravery or
leadership. He had been but the
instrument in God’s hands for tl e
accomplishment of great re
suits. It is not always easy to
acknowledge this. It is hard for
man to count his strength as
weakness, and his righteousness
as filthy rags, and give all the
glory to another. But apart from
God we can do nothing. He will
have all the praise and glory of
our lives.
Yet it needs to be well remem
bered that what God does for us
he does through us. Though
David claimed no praise for his
skill and valor, these were yet
made use of by the Lord. He re
quires at our hands the very best
that is in us, and yet it is his own
strength that becomes manifest
in our weakness. What we ex
pect the Lord to do for us, we
must be willing shall be done in
us and through us. And what is
done in us and through us must
still be recognized as the Lord’s
work, for which he shall receive
all the praise.
The more we help others to
bear their burdens, the lighter
our own will be.
