The name of our robin was given by the

The American robin is closely related
to our blackbird, and has A sweet, melod-

-A JAPANESE ESTIMATE OF
MISSIONS.
A statesma a of Japan said recently
in a conversotion I had with him:
"Your missionaries undoubtedly have
done good. for the morals of our people,
but they have done far more for our
health and strength as a, nation. They
come taus with doctors and nurses, and
hospitals and schools, Before Perry's
arrival 2,000,000 infants were born every
year in Japan, and for lack of proper
sanitary measures they died. Now with
the hospitals and sanitary and hygienic
methods introduced by the missionaries,
the 2,000,000 children are born, but they
do not die." This is tiue of every other
Onieutal eountry. Meanwhile in the
countries of Europe the increase of pop-
ulation is slow, and in some countries,
as hi France, it is hardly increasing at
all. In America race suicide is becoming
alarmingly prevalent. -Melville D. Stone,
in The Christian Herald.
