DISTRICT MATTERS.
Brtgland'a Reproach, -The Opium
-Traffic.
The following ia a paper read by Idiss J.
Annintsott, of St.Helens, iii this County,
before the Maitland Presbyterial Women'e
Foreign Mission Society:
Speaking of the Opium Traffic Mr. Pieur-
geon said, "We do not believe that one per-
son in ten really knows what the Opium
scandal is ; they know that there is some-
thing or other not quite as it should be, but
this is all. Our Indian finances are fed by
our providing for the indulgence of one of
the most degrading vices into which man
can fall." In order that we may clearly un-
derstand the disgraceful position in which
Great Britain stands in connection with it,
I with to -day to lay before you some
facts in connection with the Opium
Traffic in India and Chins; the aw-
ful effects of the use of the drug upon the
natives, and the great hindrance that it is to
the program of the Gospel in these lands.
Opium is a drug manufactured from the
poppy plant, the cultivation of which, in
India, is encouraged by the British Govern-
ment, for the mike of the revenue derived
therefrom." The revenue derived from the
cultivation and the sale of opium is estimat-
ed at somewhat about $45,000,000 annually.
Opium ought not to be used save for its med-
icinal properties, but instead we find it
manufactured for purposes of vicious in-
dulgence." The greater part of the opium
manufactured is sent from India to
China, but a large quantity is_now being
consumed in India. Before the annexation
of Burmah the ns e of opium wasprohibited,
and therefore almost entirely uoknown, but
now the Britieh Government grows the
plant and prepares the drug for use. The
Government hex licensed vendors, to whom
the opium is sold at a stated price and these
retailE it to the people. In order to create a
taete for it, the licensee at first gives away
small cakes of it to the young men, knowing
that when the appetite is once formed,
they will soon come to buy more. There
are now supposed to be some 10,000 shops in
India for the sale a opium. Should there
be a decrease in the amount of opium sold
by these vendors, a fine is imposed.
STRONGEST
Until over a century ago, opiam was
scarcely knowa in China. The opiurn,which
is prepared for consumption in Chinais pack-
ed in cheats. These were introduced into
Chine by a process of smuggling, the rev-
enue thus gained going to the British, not
to tbe Chinese Government. When the
Etitish Ambassador sought to persuade the
Emperor of China to legalize the traffic, he
replied, "It is true I cannot prevent the in-
troduction of the flowing poison ; but noth-
ing will induce me to derive a revenue from
the vice and misery of my people." The
Chinese Government sought by strict laws
to keep it out of the country, and even went
so far as to condemn those wha sold or
used the drug,to capital punishment; but the
poor wretches became so infatuated by its
power that they lost even the fear of death.
The merchants of the East India Conipany
armed their trading vessels, in which the
opium wee brought, with --Cannon, nominally
for their own prottlotion, but in reality to
overawe the officialsat the ports where they
sought to introduce their poisonous cargo.
Through the efforts of these British mer-
chants the traffic continued until it reached
enormous proportions. The Chinese Gov-
ernment felt that the time had come when
they meet take decided steps, not only to-
wards stopping the use of the drug, but to
put an end to the iniquitous importation.
Every class, from the highest to the lowest,
was affected. The Emperor himself had
three sans who died from using opium. Find-
ing how rapidly the use of the drug was
spreading through the kingdom, he com-
manded Commiesioner Lin to go to Canton,
in 1839, and do all that he could to stop the
smuggling of opium into the realm. The
Commissioner and the Governor e of four
provinces in which the curse had taken
firmest hold, addressed a memorial to the
British Government, setting forth the im-
menee evil of the opium trade, and the
wickedness of thus forcing it upon them,
and reminding them that while the British
Government was being benefitted by the
revenue gained from the traffic, it was
bringing untold evil upon the Chinese na-
tion. The Commissioner and his party
burned a large quantity of the opium -to
the value of about A10,000,000, seeking in
this way to save their nation. Their me-
morial was of no avail, and now followed
one of the darkest pages in the history of
England -the first Opium War." A fearful
conflict began between England and China
in 1840, and was dosed in 1342 by the Treaty
of Nankin, when the Chinese had to pay
about $21,000,000, and to give up Hong
Kong to the British, and so open four porta
to the opium traffic. Matters kept going on
from bad to worse until 1857, whe the Chi-
nese authorities made another determined
effort to exercise their authority. They
seized one of the smuggling vessels
and detained part of the crew. The
13ritish Government demandecl an apology,
which was refused, and thereupon began the
second Opium War. The slaughter in the
harbour was horrible, and the British con•
tinned their fiendish work by setting fire to
suburbs of the city, thereby rendering
homeless some 30,000 women and children.
Not satisfied with Mike they attacked the
city itself, showering bombshells into its
narrow streets and destroying by fire what
had escaped the shells. The English again
compelled the Chinese to pay them a large
sum of money and to open other eight ports
to the opium traffic. The Treaty of Tient-
sin was made which required that opium may
be imported en payment of a low duty about
one -fortieth of the rate imposed by the In-
dian Covern,mcnt. The Chinese Govern-
ment insieted, however, that "the importer
will sell only at the port. It will be carried
into the interior by Chinese only, and only
as Chinese property ; the foreign trader will
not be allowed to accompany it."
In 1869 the Chinese again appealed to the
British Government, pleading with them to
stop sending the opium amongst them =be-
cause of the untold evil it was working
among their people, and also showing that
they could not properly prohibit the use of
it, so long- as England continued to force it
-upon them. The cruel answer that they
received was, That the best course of the
Chinese Government was to get their People
to break off from the use of opium." So
far from helping to stop it they sought to
extend the traffic into the interior of the
country, and in 1875 the Chinese were again
eompelled to open ten more ports to the
opium trade. The Chinese now tried to in-
crease the duty, and by the Treaty of
Chefoo in 1885, it was agreed to raise it
one-half. By this agreement right was re-
served by which either party after four
years, upon giving twelve month& notice,
could terminate the Article relating to
opium. These four years expired on May
6, 1890, and either nation is now free to
take steps in the matter. A memorial
from India signed by a large number of na-
tive Christiane, missionaries and others, has
already been presented to the Chinese Gov-
ernment, emphasizing the importance of
taking advantage of the term presented in
• the Treaty. The deputation were courteous-
ly received by the Chinese officials, and their
statesman, Li Hung Chang, promised to re-
commend it to the favorable consideration
of the Central Government. He revealed,
however, one of the great difficulties of the
Chinese, by his question, "Will not the de-
mand for a prohibition treaty with Great
Britain bringonanother Opium War -a
Some profess to think that the use of
opium le not more hurtful than the use of
alcohol, but it is vastly different, and the
fearful effects of opium cannot be over-esti-
mated. Not only in China is this evil felt,
but the use of the drag is spreading, and
opium dens are being opened in America,
Australia and other countries. The opium
smoker hates the vice by which he is held
captive, but its fascinations are so great
that he seems utterly powerless to break
away from it. He is weakened mentally,
morally and physically. He loses all self-
respect. It predisposes him to disease and
makes him unfit for work. It takes him
about three hours to inhale the drug and
then he can only work for about two hours
without renewing the stimulus. There is
hardly an evil that he will not perpetrate in
order to attain the accursed thing. He will
steal, sell his property, his wife, his children,
and finally commit murder in order to satis-
fy his craving. There is little hope of an
opium smoker being reclaimed. Some have
been enabled to give it up, but the mission-
aries watch them with fear and trembling,
as they are in constant danger of yielding
again to the seductive influences of the
poisonous drug. When the habit takes
such a hold of one who contracts it when up
in years, think of what an awful struggle
and life of misery must lie before one who is
born with the craving. In one opium den
whit& Dr. Dyer visited, he found children of
three years old and upwards lying under its
influence. Dr. Little, superintendent of s.
hospital in Singapore, says: "Upstairs I
found one woman who bad been an opium
smoker for three years. She stated she had
two children, but they were very sickly and
always crying. And how did she stifle their
cries? Oh, women! If you have a spark of
motherly feeling in you, ye will - join with
me in execrating this vice, whose practises
are so horrible, that, if I could not vouch
for it, credulity might turn a died ear to my
cry. I saw the woman preening to her
shrivelled, sapless breasts, her weeping off-
spring, whose thin and yellow face, and
withered limbs showed how little sustenance
was to be obtained there. Its shrill cries
and convulsive limbs seemed now to excite
the attention of the mother, who was all the
time enjoying her pipe, when, to my horror
and astonishment, she conveyed from her
lips to that of the child* the fresh drawn
opiate vapour, which the babe inspired.
This was repeated twice, when it fell beak
a senseless mass into ite mother's arms, and
allowed her to finith quietly her unholy re-
past -on poison expressly prepared to, meet
the depraved state of such poor mothers. by
the servants of the Empress of India.
And these things are so beemuse opium is
forced upon them by a -Christian nation.
About 80,000 chests are now annually_
shipped to China. Four grains of Indian
opium is sufficient to kill a man unaccus-
tomed to the drug, while every pound will
destroy 1,600 lives. Each chest contains
153 pounds; 6,000 chaste would, therefore,
be sufficient to destroy the earth's inhabi-
tants. "In 1887, eighty years after the
arrival of Robert Morrison, one of the first
missionaries to China, there were 32,000
converts to Christianity in the Empire, and
150,000,000 who ;were victims of opium,
either? in their own persons or in their
families."
The use of opium is also a great barrier
to the work of missions in these lands, The
Chinese cannot understand how a nation
who profess to care for their salvation, can
continue to force upon them this awful drug,
which is destroying so many of their people.
When we look at these things "the wonder
is not that the Chinese are slow to embrace
Christianity, but that they are willing to
listen to it all." They taunt the mission-
aries, saying: "You bring us your Bible
and your civilization, you say to bless us;
and at the same time you force upon us your
opium which degrades and destroys us.
We sheuld have been better and happier if
we had never roen an English ship. We
shall believe in your real care for our bodies
and our souls: when you cease by cannon
and bayonet to compel us to buy your
opium.' Much earnest labor on the part of
the missionaries seems as if it were in vain
on account of this great obstacle. Hudson
Taylor says it does trier° harm in a week
than all our missionaries are doing good in
a year. He gives an incident which came
under his notice when going up the Yang-
tse-Kiang river. He says: "Two native
Christians came on board and joined us. .
. . . They had not been long on board
before a passenger asked one of them, who
was a nstive doctor, where be was coming
from, and. what work be had been engaged
in. They had been assisting in the forma-
tion of a Christian church, in a district
where there was no missionary. In reply,
he began to give an account of the work of
Christ that he had witnessed and taken part
in, and his enthusiasm so communicated it-
self to the little company gathered round
him that they were listening to the story of
the Cross and of the Saviour, who came
from heaven to die for sinners, with a de-
gree of interest one does not often see in
China
third Opium ar ?"
Children Cry for
One among the passen-
gers attracted my eye. I saw be was not so
interested as those around him; and very
soon impatience gave way to scorn and
anger. With a look, which I wish I could
bring home to you, he said, Ah, yes, and
we are to think, I suppose, that the mis-
sionaries are our very good friends are
we ? ' • Yes,' said the doctor, indeed
they are. They have cone thousands
of miles on purpose to benefit us, and
to tell us of Christ that died for
sinners.' And to bring us the opium,' said
the man, And to bring us the opium.' Oh,
if I could but make you a witness of the
scene, it would satisfy you as to what the
conscience of China- is on the question.
That sentence and the intense scorn and
anger with which it was uttered penetrated
every heart. I wished I could sink through
the floor out of sight. The little company,
no longer interested, slunk away like men
ashamed of themselves, as if tbey had been
caught at somthing evil in listening to
doctrine which had been brought by those
who bring the opium."
While no one addicted to the use of opium,
can be admitted. to the membership of the
Church, manyeenembers have to be dieowned
on account of their falling or relapsing into
the vice. -Some of the moat promising of
the native Christians, asid even native
pastors, and in some eases whole families
have fallen through ite influence. Surely
we, as Christian women, can do something
to help to stop this gigantic evil of theopium
traffic. Speaking of mission work in China,
one minister said, "If the present state of
demoralization by opium continues for an-
other half -century, there will be no China to
save."

Value of the Present.
Thoreau well indicated the majesty that
each day, each hour should bold when he
said "1 an not afraid that I shall ex-
aggerate the value and significance of life,
but that I shall not be up to the occasion
which it is. I shall be sorry to remember
that I was there,but noticed nothing remark-
able -not so much as a prince in disguise;
lived in the golden age a hired man; visited
Olympus even, but fell asleep after
dinner and did not hear the conversation of
the gode."
Perhaps one of the most disastrous errors
in life is to regard the present as of no value
as a day, a week, a amen to be gotten
through with in some way, it matters little
bow, and yet all the time to hold in more or
less consoious view some beautiful and glow-
ing future which shall be finer and diviner
than the present.
For the very ideal conception itself
„proves Re reality. And more, it proves that
It may exist now as well as next year. To-
day is the accepted time. This is the day of
the Lord. This present day is the best day
of the year.
Ili is only in this spirit that one insy be
"up to the occasion" of life. The "con-
versation of the gods" may always be open
to all who seek this high intercourie. Good
books, good society, are to be had for the
making one's self worthy to appreciate them.
If daily life is not to some degree, at
least, a festival of high thought, one is not
living up to his opportunities. He is not
living in a manner to command vantage
ground.

REV. FATHER SHAW'S TESTIMONY : "To
all those who may be suffering from that
prevalent and horrible disorder called dys-
pepsia. I say with confidence and without
any hesitation, go at once and procure a
package of K. D. C., uee it as directed and
before you consume the contents of one
package. you will thank me for directing
your attention to this wonderful cure. I
have suffered from dyspepsia for the last
28 years until last summer it reached a
crisis, my appetite for every kind of food
was completely gone, when a friend in town
advised me to try K. D. C., assuring me
that it completely cured him when' suffering
from the same affliction. I obeyed, and
procured a package of K. D. C. at once, I
used it according to direction, and I am
happy to say that in a few,clays I felt nearly
as well as ever.
I have no selfish motive in making tho
foregoing declaration, I am not one of the
Company, neither am I a cousin to any of
them, my only desire is to alleviate the
sufferings of my fellow creatures."
(Signed) Rev. FATHER SHAW, P. P.
Rectory of St. John the Baptist.

and vitality, and is but scantily served when the
blood is impure. No remedy is so potent as a blood
