Only n few days ago in conversa. tion with n citizen. the current thought turned to ill-bred children, end the rnthleudierespect the rising .enerntion ie disposed to show to their uperiore in use and experience. We hove lied e good deal to do with ehlldren. ud though we feel like etude-ling their disrespectful con- “ I“ we nlheeitntingly nd. Taking all the circumstances into consideration we do not see that the infliction of the severest penalty of the low would make things a whit better. The boy no doubt feels a pang that’s worse than death and will carry his punishment with him through life. What a misery the poor..foolish boy has inflicted upon himself, but he is no more gailty thnn hundreds of others who are daily committing the same crime, only they escspe the consequences. Along this line of thought. we may role: to the crazy acts that. may be “en every day in the year by the fool with the gun.

We are again reminded that the fools are not all dead». The Toronto dailies of Monday last give heart rend'mg accounts of the action of a seventeen year old boy, who shot and killed with a revolver a little sister only eleven years of age He knew the revolver was loaded according to his own admission. having put the cartridge into it himSelf. The Story goes to show that the boy and his sister were playing down stairs, af- ter which the lad went to his room to take a nap. The little girl who was full of mirth and mischief, as most healthy and active little girls are, followed him to his room on the dressing case of which lay a self- cocking revolver unloaded 'l‘o: frighten her away he began snapping? the trgget, but fearing no danger the l little thing was not alarmed and con-! tinued her childish pranks. Sub-i sequently the boy slipped a loaded: cartridge into the chamber and soon ' the fearful deed was done. the little girl being shot through the head from the eflect of which she died in a few minutes. The boy was of a good respectable family. industrious in his habits and net possessed of the foolish viciousness that often char- acterizes a youth of his years He feels much grieved over thesad event but the grief came too late, and he is now under arrest for murder, and whatever the result of the rash act may be he has lodged his sister in eternity, racked with grief the mem- bers of his family, and placed his own young life in a horrible condi-l tion, which, even should he escape the gallows will follow him to his grave, DVUUVI vv-VJ . people’s money that is lavishlyl squandered, but money that belongs? to the Government.

Supposing the envelope and cheque had been destroyed and the timber had been held for two or three weeks until Mr. Poire could have produced proof of payment, the matter would have been very serious indeed for John Hodgson.

H. Worthington Judd, a disciple of Dcwie, and the husband of the al- leged victim, also were arrested, having appeared at the Criminal Court building in company with Dowie.

They lean on the gun-boat for pro- tection, and in an objectionable man- ner. thrust an objectionable religion down the throats of the Chinese. Now these charges and many more can be answered, and answered fully without ascribing infallibility to Missionaries any more than to other men. Let us not for this, turn away in anger. but rather say in compassion, as the Master did, ‘ Forgive them for tiny know not what they do.’ This is the hour of darkness, but the light will (hm-u.

Well 183 of them have laid down their lives. and now wearing the martyrs’ crown tire doing what- ever the redeemed are doing before the Throne. Of the remainder who escaped, some came to the home land but the majority are at the Coast, smnclim.r at the door ready to re- enter and resume work as soon as permission is given. And in the meantime what? The women have held annference in Shangai, pre- sided over by Lady Blake, the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong, in which they prayed iorthe women of China, discussed their needs and how best to relieve them. The male Mis- sionaries also held Conferences for prayer and Bible studyâ€"that they, the Missionaries. might be themselves spiritually quickened, and thereby China blessed. As opportunity offers. they send letters and messages of sympathy and encouragement to the scattered and persecuted converts who remain. ls that selfish or vin- tllCilt'e?

The terri- ble scourge of war is now succeeded by one of the worst {amines on record In the two northern provinces of Shensi and Shansi, crops have failed for the third time, and the situation is so desperate that it is said canni- balism prevails amongst them. In the past, Missionaries have been their friends in the time of distress, but now the Missionaries have been driven away by their own act. Others are employed gathering up. lovingly, the story of the massacres, the heroic courage and loyalty to Jesus Christ, of Missionaries and converts alike. and the many inter- ventions of God’s hand, delivering from death whose time had not come. It is sad, heart re riding, but glorious. For example, eighteen colporteurs about to go on a journey, were warn- ed of the risk, but said “ We go on a colportour tour, God’s will be done.” Only four of the eighteen returned. 'l'heir homes were looted and burned, and their families exterminated. 'l‘hey who escaped, did so after pass- ing through terrible privations.
