He has since then been almost helpless and can only move about in an invalid's chair. He has a ruddy, cheerful countenance and tastes life's happenings' with greater equanimity than many a man able to move about with God-given freedom. But for all Chit itfilvas rathera sad eight to see his chair lilted by the train battle and roll- ed into' the baggage car where he will spend the wearisome three days which must elapse before arriving at his des- tination.

He desires to go to the c'entr'e of South America, and is (iceeyply inter- ested fn his work. The meeting im- pressed upon triose present the im- mense responsibility which rests upon Christians, in view of their Lord's COM - Waal (1, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to 'very creature.' The views preeente(1 had to do with a recent trip male around the world. In the dark continent pretty churches were shown erected upon the very places where once human sacrifices had been offered to the evil spirit. In Persia the sight of hospitals maintain- ed by the Mess' .:. Society told of the good work beieg done by the medi- cal missionaries. In South China, where three years ago eight mission- aries were cruelly massacred, now the people are showing a reuhtrkeble readiness to attend Christian services and receive Christian teaching. In Japan, notwithstanding the vigorous opposition of .Buddhists, Christianity is steadily widening its sphere. In our own North-west several views were shown disclosing the quiet progress which is being made in mission work among the Indians. The meeting throughout was very interesting." Itev.
