C., the chair- man, introduceO the theme for the after- noon, 'The Stewardship of Life," re- marked on how this eonterence was com- ing, into closer touelt with melt one of us by emphasizing the appeal to the in - dual man. STEWARDSHIP OF LIFE. Mr. Mornay Witliante. of New York, vice-chairman of the International Com- mittee of the laymen's missionery move- ment, spoke in the place of Dr, Cap011 • the "Stewardship Of Life," with Bre- reforenee to the significance of the faymen's missionary movement. Dealing -with the objective side of this steward - • Mie 'Williams believed that this movement, although it was among men, was not of men. It was a movement of the spirit of Jamie Christ, who, he.be- lieved, had been moved with compas sion, as in ancient times, for men as sheep without a shepherd. Through many means He was to -day appealing to the compassion mid love of men, WILT CAN WE DO? Concerning the subjeetive side of our stewardship, what could we do? Christ had said, "For their sakes have I sanc- tified Myself?" It was no use for us to sanctify ourselves for ourselves. If we sanctified ourselves for others by an imagination fired by love- wonderful things could be accomplished. MR. J. N. SHENSTONE. "N'o ispeaker has any need to apolo- gize for the laymen's missionary MOW- • ment," saidM. J. N. Shenetone in com- mencing his address upon "The Steward- ship of Business Talents and Posses- sions." "Alen no longer when approach- ed for a enistatenary contribution turn up their old cheque books and give the same as tho year before. We recog- nize, too, thee personality is worth more than money,- and that the talents of /nen are to bo .elven to God's service. We rney neglectHifi stewardship, but that does not Wit us out from •011IT final accountingto the Giver. It is only elle few who have the personality which enables them to be used for carry- ing the message to the heathen, but every man can take part in the work of providing for the carrying on of mis. emnie "If vee are the children of Clod We will jive easefully and prayerfully and give freely to earry on His enterprisee. If leen returnto men a share of their pro- fits for the use of their capital, how intielt more ought we to return a share of our wealth to the great Giver? It is the duty of some men to make a great deal of wealth. It is as wrong for a man who possesses this talent to bury it as it is to bury any other Lelent." A GOOD INVESTMENT. "ltrie L.

Very wise- ly, therefore, at the inauguration of tho Laymen's Missionary Movement its committee Mt the necessity of having an investigation made of actual eanditions in the missionary -fields of alt notaOhristian Jands. This was done through the willingness of some sixty Christian meld of standing and influence, who, at their cote_ charges, visited those fields as commissioners reproseuting the movement. As one of their number, speaking for himself, said the speaker'and also for all the others, lee -us talc° this occasion. to testify to the fidelity, zeal and conse- cration of the miseumary body as a whole repeesentiug tho Christian de- nominations in these difforent lanes. A UNITED STATES CONSUL. "I stand hero to -night as a fol- lower of the Lord Jesus Christ," said Hon. D. F, Wilber, United States Covent at Halifax, N. S., who, lilco the previous speaker, dealt with "The knowledge of missions, an inspiration to obedience." Ile had been sent on the united States Consular service to Sing- apore, and when he arrived there he was a man of the tvolid. At Singapore he met the usual missionary critic, "After two years in Shigaporode said Mr. Wilber, "I made up my mind that if Cod coeld make such a fine .finielted article out of the raw ma- terial of the heathen, God eould also' mako something out of me, and so I. gave myself to Him, and 1 stand hero before you the finished product of the workunder God of the mis- sionary, and if my -wife could come here to -night she too would stand be- fore you as a finished product under' God of the missionary. I have learn- ed that there are two kinds of heath- en. There is the heathen Who is born such and there is the heathen in civilizeh lands who is such by ohoice. Thank God I am hero to - Melt a believer in missions." INDIA'S TESTIMONY. Sir Andrew Frew, who was re- ceived with enthusiastic cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs, Raid that when one desired to kuow about any- thing or afly. cause he mustgo to those who knew about the matter. It was the greatestleapertinence for men who never saw or tested missionary work and wile never had any experience in it, to give opinions on the result of sueh work. He had himself bees itt very province in India, Ite never eorileieed long in any place without making the adquaintante of the native and other missionaries. Ito had heard them preach. Ho had been a member of a natige Pres- byterian chorale, an elder in such a church, and could therefore claim to bo able to speak on the 'question. If they asked him should they :invest in this great missionery enterprise, his reply would be, "Invest, invest, iavest, in- vest), invest; your sympathy, your inter- est and your incincyd"rhere were many cases' of secret_ service to the Lord in India. The church session, of which the speaker was a member, had received an application for membership - from a young man, examined into his belief, and accepted him iuto the church. This „young man had been teaching in tho house of A, Hind% t110 head the Bible but never professed Christian- ity, and yeb. his life and teaching had led a young man to Christ. Sir Andrew went cine day with his wife to "see a lep- er villego. Never was he so impressed with the great work the missionaries were doing in India as when he sew the way the faces of those poor unfortunates lit ep with joy as the leper missionary went; stinting them with the massage of love from Jesus. "All .the asylums dor tho lepera in India are now," be said, tho hands or missioneries, because there ere ne others who will give themselves up eo devotedly to the work." Aro your hearts ever dull and aer1e. for the absence of Jesus?" coneluded Sir Andrew.

Abandoned,. London,' April 5.—T1ue report of Prof. Gregory, leader of the expedition through Cyrennica, on the northern coast of Africa, where the jewieh ter - aerial organization expected to find territory for Jewish colonization, is dis- appointing, and owing to its unfavor- able character the council of the or- ganization has decided to take no fur- ther action looking to the colonization of the country at resent. The report eulogizes Cyrenaica's beauty and healthy climate, but says that owing to the scarcity of water ib could oot support a largo population. Moreover, the poem- eation is already largev than was ex- pected, and tho present inhabitants would likely interfere with its closer ageicultural setlement. The lack of water is not due to Rick of rain, but et) the limestone everywhere . peesent. • The soil is as porous as a sieve.

He had ooee itskeit a congregation of highly eiativetea, intelligent; japaneso gentlemen what had most appealed to them in Hot Chriettan religion. They answered thee its K41.01110 laming was the moral wig of heart. "I asked the 5111110 nuestioe," he seld, "of a number of aged Mdies all over fifty, and their answer wits that the great blessing was the intelleetual stimulus it had given them." The other cause of depression was the lovelessnees of their livee, Here Afr, Speer quote(1 some of ,the likes about women which were part Sind parcel of the eastern religions, and said that. l thongli the men's humanity rose above; that of their religion, they needed adi religion to teed, not to binder them in giving the women their due in love and honor, Lief tatione wore received from London and .0rillia to the society to be their guest during next yenta; annual meeting.
