REV. JOHN E. ROSS, MISSIONARY IN THE PUNJAB, WRI'I'ES: "The mass movement in India has been among the outcastes, but there is a mass movement of interest in Christianity going on in India today among high caste peOple; not many of these have confessed Christ Openly, but the day is not far distant when Hindus in great numbers will do so. Although not many students in mission high schools have become Christians, yet these students from mission colleges and schools in Saharan- pur, and in fact al over India are invariably friendly to Christianity, and many of them are secret believers. These in- stitutions are second to none as agencies of evangelization. The students are increasing interest in Christianity, and some day, when the movement ripens, these will be among the first to becomé Christians." DR. DYSON HAGUE STRUCK. A FINE AND WELCOME NOTE the other day when be emphasized the necessity for repentance and the acceptance of Christ as a personal Saviour. He rightly held that one of the greatest needs today is to emphasize the consciousness of sin, because if there is one thing today that the Church of God has to fight with terrific energy, it, is the idea that is overspreading the world that man is “all right." This belief is indicated, as Dr. Hague said, by the great atten- tion devoted to the intellectual and physical welfare of the younger generation, but there is also the spiritual development to be considered, and this is only possible by means of a per- sonal relation to Christ as Saviour, Master and Friend. The more emphatically and constantly our preachers and teachers insist upon this truth. the better it will be for the highest interests 0! the people.

I..." n‘ h;nI A SHANGHAI DAILY RELATES THAT THE CHINESE TAKE delight in crossing the road directly in front of a swiftly moving motor car. Their theory is that when in bad luck, a demon is actually dogging their steps. Now if the victim can just manage to get by a car traveling at high speed, he runs a good chance of leaving his spirit-pursuer to take the full impact of the Hudson Super-six. The narrower the margin of safety for the Chinaman, the more fatal to his follower. FEW MEN HAVE BEEN OF’I‘ENER IN THE PUBLIC EYE OF ‘ . Here is a criticism of him by Dr. S. S. '3 who was formerly leader in Ford‘s social work: Henry Ford would he a greater and wiser man if he were a better mixer and listener.“ An insulated mind in an isolated body misses much in this world that is really worth knowing. Whether this is true of Ford or not, it is not for us to say, but the point of it is that "none of us liveth to himself.” The indi- vidual needs the community for his proper development, be- cause “an insulated mind in an isolated body” always fails of proper realization and genuine influence. There is nothing more striking than the way in which the New Testament emphasizes and, at the same time, harmonizes. the individual and corporate * ‘ -°- . - :_.1:-.:,1..ni:n6:n {Yhniafianifv ifi futiln and and, 3‘ tile SanlU Llll", ll“!

Dr. Malan, while travelling in a French diligence, read aloud from his Bible. »\ stranger, an infidel. loudly remonstrated. Some one suggested that he should first have convinced the infidel that it was the Word of God. Said the doctor, “If you were attacked by an enemy in battle, would you first persuade him that your weapon was a sword. or would you use it on him?" The next. day the infidel sent to the dining-table at the inn to ask if he might continue his journey with him, and later he became a com- municant in Dr. Malan’s churchâ€"The Christian Endeavor World. “THE GREAT MBNACE“ IS A WORK BY MR. G.W.MEAD describing the revolutionary movement in the United States. He quotes from various sources showing that wideSpread at- tempts are being made to bolshevize the negro, and suggests rightly that better provision should be made for the education of the negro ministry. the natural leadership of the negro peOple. In this way the menace may be stayed in this partic- ular direction. Fifteen hundred new negro pastors are needed annually to make good the losses by death and otherwise. Yet all the schools togetlwr furnish but three hundred. DR. PHILIP J AISOHN, A LEADER AMONG THE KOREANS, was political adviser to the late emperor. One day the emperor asked him to obtain a number of men to take charge of the new system of schools. He asked what type of men were required. “Men like the missionaries," came the reply; “What salary do missionaries receive?" “You will not get men of that stamp to come out to work for the government,’ retorted Dr. Jaisohn, “for three times what the missionaries receive.” {F'jl‘he opp takgng him in charge and: s Amezjiqan Indian, was arrested a “ edntnous" speech made toa win? don’t you WHAT IS THE REASON WHY MEN SWEAR?

This resolution was the subject . of earnest debate, and at the end, it 1 was adopted by a large majority. 1 Those who supported the resolution, pointed out that, under present regâ€" ulations, the authorities have prac- tically no control over motor car drivers, and that some form of con- trol is not only desirable but an ab- solute necessity. With the argu- ments in support of more efficient control, the people of Ontario will be in complete sympathy. The ap- palling accidents that are continual- ly taking place on highways of the province, and on the streets of the towns and cities, would appear to indicate either gross ignorance or criminal carelessness in the opera- tion of motor cars. The people of this province recogâ€" nize that a new era has arrived in transportation, and have no desire to hamper legitimate travel, but there has arisen an urgent and in- sistent demand for the strict regu- lation of motor vehicle traffic in the intereS'ts of public safety. This question has been discussed for a long time in the newspapers of this province, and in meetings of var- ious public bodies. and it deserves the prompt consideration of the government. The fact that, it has been embodied in a resolution and- endorsed by the chambers of com- merce of the province, is a sufficient guarantee to the government thatit has the support of public opinion. The safeguarding of human life, not only of the motorists themselves, ’ but also of pedestrians, has become . a vital necessity.
