Infiict Torture. One of many curious customs prac- ticed in the Philippine Islands is the way they observe the week before Eas- ter. For Thursday, Friday and Satur- day the streets or roads on the outskirts of some villages, and sometimes the principal streets of the town itself, are tilled with crowds, who have come to sec the natives inflict self torture. The willing' victims arc stripped to the waist, their faces are covered with a thick cloth and around one hand is a heavy hemp rope, with a cluster of from fifteen to twenty smaller hempen cords. To each of these is fastened a small piece of hard wood. The whole thing is just long enough so that when flung over the shoulder it will not quite reach to the waist. When the penitents are ready to start out a Philipino, appointed as a sort of takes the flesh of the back Fenitents Fearful Sell- overseer, between his thumb and first finger and cuts the skin with a long bolo. This is done all over the back. He then cries, "Alla, sigie" ("Go ahead"). Then penitent begins to beat his back by fashing his cluster of cords first over one shoulder, then over the other, until the back is so lacerated that it resembles raw beef. All the while the onlookers and victims also are singing, or rather, chanting; a dismal, funeral chant. Great Missionary. Rev.

Over jo years ago he founded the Central China religious tract society, an undenominational organization.

Be charitable, giving liberally for the uplifting of humanity. Be healthy, exercising as a duty.. Be sociable, having a side to friends not known to all. Be sympathetic, fearing littleness of soul more than littleness of fortune. Be broad, accumulating re, sources higher than material. Above all. be true to self, condoning nothing in self which is to be condemned in others.

There is an old story which illustrates the reverence which the ancient Spartan felt for old age Into one of the great- est amphi-théatres of Greece, filled to the gates with a throng assembled to witness the athletic games so popular in those days, an aged man went one day. Every seat was taken. One hund- red At boys sat on one side; as many youths sat on the other side. § the old man, the Athen- ian boys, true to their instruction, rose and un their heads, but not one went so to offer his place to the aged man. ; He turned toward the Spar- tan side, All: rose and, bowing low, cach proffe his seat, whereupon the Athenian broke out in prolonged applause. The old man paused, smiled, and bowing, said: "The Athenian knows what reverence for old age is; the Spartans show that reverence. Is it not true that many are slow in extending that respect to old age which belongs to it? It is so casy, it may be, to pass the aged by without a word of greeting, but how much such a word means to thein! A little more thought- fulness, a little greater regard for the sensitive nature of those in advanced life, 'and the world would be happier and better. ------ Nestorian Arrivals. The coming to Canada of twenjy families of Nestorian Christians, from near Tiflis in Trans-Caucasia, to join the colony located near Battleford, calls attention to a strange sect which has survived in the east since days of the ea] Christian church. It was found- ! by Nestorius, a patriarch of Con- i in the fifth century, who was condemned as a héretic for main- taining that the divine and the human natures were not merged into one in Christ and hence that it was improper to call Mary the mother of God, though she might be called the mother of Christ.

Notwithstanding the inoreased cost of living, the allowances to the clergy have remained stationary. Many ree ceive smaller living allowances iM the day laborer earns. Some are not nearl so well paid as the mechanic. Yet ali are required to be well-educated men-- and to be ornaments to the community, socially. The claims upon the clergy- man are far greater than those upon the average man. The reading must be voluminous; books are expensive; style of living must be good; dress for min- ister, his wife and family cannot be poor; education for the children must be good. Yet there is no way by which a clergyman, if he attends to his duties, can supplement his income, and thus make the financial burden lighter, It is scarcely probable that the aver- age layman thinks about the material needs of the clergy. Nor, in many cases, is there the disposition to be reas- onable. People are prone to be liberal about many things, but not to the church. Still, it 1s unanimously con- ceded that we cannot get along with. out the prescribed ministrations, and that were the work of the clergy sus- pended the country would speedily ex- perience painful results. If the example of Rev. Mr. Shaw were to be generally followed it would be a public calamity, especially as such resignations have a tendency to wam young men against the clerical profession.
