ilhina justifies a darker interpretation of these phenomena than is commonly prevalent. She states in China’s Mimons that if Christians who know the power of the cross would go and chal- lenge the mediums. or rather the powers speaking through the mediums. commanding them in the name of the Lord to declare themselves. they would confess, though much against their will, that they are demons. Then she gives a typical case from her own experience. which recalls the accounts of Dr. Nevnus that inade so profound an impression upon the late Prof. William “"109. "We have recently been helping a young woman who for many years has been tormented by demons, to light through to freedom. When it began speaking through her, attempting to deceive us into thinking it was the young woman herself speak- ing. we demanded of it an answer to the question, Who are you? “It tried evasion, but held to it. replied, ‘I am, I am, several times. and then changed to. ‘We are, we are,’ and finally ‘Wle are demons.‘ Asked.

An Australian writer. commenting upon the figures, which have produced something in the nature of a surprise, is dis- posed to account for this growth by the rapid development of modernism among the ministers of non-Anglican bodies, while another is probably right in declaring the emphasis laid by the Anglican Church upon the obligation of divine worship, and the authority and traditions of historic Christianity account for her rcmarakble increase. 4â€"Church of Ireland Gazette. umsguw. arouand. passed away, a missionary from the New Hebrides called upon him to get some advice in connection with a translation or part of the New Testament into one of the native dialects.

' I.\' A RECENT ISSI'E OF THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE OF NEW York. the editor draws attention to the six points of brotherhood which he recently discovered had been written by John Wesley and signed by John and Charles Wiesley and several of the early Methodists might with great proflt be taken to heart by Chris- tians of all sorts in Canada today. They read as follows: It is agreed by us whose names are underwritten: L-fl‘hat we will not listen, or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other. 2.â€"'I‘hat if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it. 3.â€"-That. as soon as possible, we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned. 4.â€"'l‘hat till we have done this, we will not. write or speak a syllable or it to any other person whatsoever. :3.â€"â€"'l‘hat neither will we mention it after we have done this, to any other person whatsoever. 6.-â€"’I‘hat we will not make any exception to any of these rules. unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged in con- science so to do. SHORTLY BEFORE PAGE 2. The figures for Canada have also been issued by the Dom- inion Government. Out of a population of almost nine'millions, the .-\n:.:|irans number 1.400.000. This represents 16.02 of the total population. as against 14.47 in 1911. But although these figures show that the Anglican Church is comparatively small, yet the pel'crntage or gain is higher than among any other re- ligious denomination. Tlu- .‘\nstralian Bureau of Statistics has published the re- sults of the. religious census in the Commonwealth for the year tit-3t. The tigures disclose the cheering fact that Anglican Church membership during the decade. increased well over 641mm. Hm total heing some 2,300,000. which represents 44 per rent of the total population. Ten years ago the proportion was 38 per cent. This increase is considerably in excess of natural growth. and points I» the fact that members are passing over from other denominations.
