Various dre the uses of flags, They announce such important events as a marriage, a birth, arrival of a friend, and be ike. Neigh- bors rejoice with rejoicing friends. And when a déath and funeral occur, many flags at half-mast are the silent but elo- quent witnesses of a sympathy sincere and general. . There is, also, a more striking and original 'US of 'the flag. The ®hurches appropriated it, so that when one was without a bel} it substituted a flag, and a splendid substitute it made. The flag- staff stands in a conspicuous place near 'the church, and the flag can be seen by all. An hour before. the service the flag is hoisted full mast; a quarter. of an hour before the appointed time it is put" half-mast; as the minister enters the church it is taken down altogether. This excellent plan works well and in- sures punctuality. When a bell was mentioned for one church instead of a flag, an old-timer said, "If people won't come' to church, no bell will toll then thither." Japanese National Church. The reports of a movement for na- tive initiative in Japan have taken shape. A committee of twenty have been ap- pointed by , the evangelital . alliance to brigg about thc union of Pr estauts in the empire into one mat I *charch. This action is regarded as being revo- fitionary in character; afd of found significance. The alliance is composed of 172 delegates from all parts of the empire, and includes both Japanese and foreigners. 'Tt has also adopted a plan for a church federation consisting of individual churches regardless of de- flomination. In 1900 thére were in Japan 723 Pro testint 'missionaries, 750 native preach- ers, 42273 enrolled 'members, and 416 churches. There were also $3635 Ro- man Catholics, and 26,608 members of the Greek church. Christianity has made notable strides in the empire lately, es- pecially since the war with Russia set m, and the number of Protestants is undoubtedly vastly increased over the census. of woo. X A se, Bishop's Sham Antiquities. The Hungarian minister for 'worship, hayirig been informed of pecuniary eni- batrassments ¢ of& Monsignore Bubies, bishop of Kassdy recently' ordered an enquiry into the financial management of the diocese. The accountants re- ported that, the dignitary had, in spite of his princely income, fallen into the clutches of unscrupdlous dsurers. To free the bishop from debts, it was de- cided to sell his antiquities, and experts were summoned to value: the apparently precious collections of antique china and old lace. The result was stupefying, for the "antiquities," on which the prelate had spent 1,000,000 kronen (about $200, 000) were worthless shams. The police have succeeded in detecting a gang of swindlers, who, led by the bishop's own Secretary, had taken advantage of the childish confideticé 'of the octogenarian. -------- iis No Easy Life Theirs. The best paid clergy in Siberia get £120 a year; the poorer clergy have of- ten to for their bread. "There is always a service between four and five in the morning, and two other services ifn the day. There must be a service on the birth of a child and 'at the death of {any one in the. parish. All new buildings, schol houses, Bi boats must be blessed, and in the time of pestilence or peril there must 'be continuous pray- er. All priests must fast 226 days in the year, and monasti¢ priests are never to eat meat. A priest cannot indulge in theatre-going, drinking, card playing or dancing.

The church above pictured is indulg- ing in a merry chase after saloons. It stands on wheels and always has been a mission churé¢h, going hither and yon wherever most needed, but 'it has only recently entered actively upon the temperance field. Whenever the pas- tor learns that a man is applying for a license in a new district, they pick up their little church, walk to within a few feet of the spot, plant their edifice and then enter protest against the sa- loon. Fourteen times -- and it has been\working only a few weeks -- has this church chased a would-be saloon keeper out of business. It always has a congregation of more than fifty souls, who almost gleefully follow their va- grant church and have grand rally meet- ings after every successful fight. It will not be long before other mis- sion churches on wheels will enter this crusade, and put up one of the biggest fights ever waged against the saloon keeper. They have a law with them and the sheer humor of the situation will render a would-be saloon keeper helpless with the judge. he mission is a substantial wooden ehtirch with a seating capacity "of 250. The pastor is a man of means and a number of influential temperance advo- cates are backing him so that money is always forthcoming when he desires to lease a lot for his church, and he feels it no Rardship if the exigencies of the case sét "the wheels moving before 'a lease has: expired. Hope For India, As already briefly reported, a "Na- tional Missionary 'Society of India" is being formed by native cffort as the ouwcome of a conference attended by representatives of Protestant missions in India, in the Library of Serampore College. The administrators, and agents employed are to be Indian native Christians, but the executive will have power to appoint an advisory board of leading European missionaries, whose counsel may be sought. The scheme avoids all - interference with existing missionary . societies, all members and workers, -indeed, being expected ta be. loyal to their own churches. An appeal has been made to the Christians in In- dia for sympathy with the movement. It is felt that the uneyangelized parts of the country can never be reached by existing societies, a century effort on their part finding only one in a hun- dred of the natives even mnomijgally Christian. Among the million hi ant native Christians in India, however, there is a hopeful field for a great for- ward movement, and already offers of service and promises of" support have been received.

The prophecy fulfilled. T house where the words were spoken is now occupied by the British Bible So- e buildings of the Religious Tract Society of London stand upon the spot where Biles were once publicly burned Voltaire, the French infidel, had said that in fifty years the Bible would be only a literarv curiosity. The house where he wrote this is now one of the | depositories of the British and Foreign bie Society. Copies of the scripture are daily be- ing sold in Florence on the Square where' Savonarola was burned for preaching the truths of the Bible. They Did What They Could. "What I have 1 give?" seems to be the spirit of a recent far-off mission of- fering, described by Rev. Cyril Ross, of Korea. At a gathering of over 400 na- tive Korean Christians in Pyeng Yang, the leader suggested a new sort of mis- sionary offering for home work-=not in money, but in men--in witness for Christ, each one giving from a day to a week or fortnight to voluntary labor, simply .telling the gospel story 'to their fei bors. a equivalent of 2.200 days of Gch work were soon cordially volun- teered. Men left their farm¢ and mer- chandise to do 'mission work in outly- ing districts without pay. This is a mission offering after the apostolic sort, and it was native Koreans, just out of I that set this example.
