You could go to the building almost any hour of the day or night and find people in prayer, but especially just before dawn. Charles E. Scott. “Have I no sins to weep over and repent of? Have I no non-believing family or friends to pray for?” From that time on, he was one of the most earnest of EARLY IN THE YEAR FOUR BUDDHIST NUNS, ONE of whom was an abbess, were received into the Women’s School, Canton. They had heard of Christianity through the faithful preaching of a Bible woman working in the country district in which their convent was situated, and when op- portunity presented itself, these four women came to the school, while three children, who were also being trained as nuns, went to the Victoria Home, Kowloon. Most of the nuns had been in the convent since babyhood, and had known no other life. It is not man only, nor Satan. nor is it exactly sin. It is an infection, an inspiration, an atmosphere, a life, a fashion, an impersonal but a very recognizable system. None of these names exactly suit it, and yet all of them suit it. It is a hell already upon earth,â€"something which is excommunicated from God’s smile. God’s mercy does not enter into it; all hope of its reconciliation with Him is eternally precluded. Repentance is incompatible with its existence. The sover- eignity of God has laid a ban upon it. It is preeminently among the enemies of God. Hence the place which it occupies in Holy Scripture. It is the world which hated Christ (John 7.7), the world which cannot receive His Spirit (14.17), the world that loves its own (15.19), that rejoices because Christ has gone away (16.20), the world which Christ overcame (16.33), for which He would not pray (17.9), the world that by its wisdom knew not God (1 Corinthians 1.21). Well might St. James come to the conclusion: Whosoever will be a friend of this world is the enemy of God! (Faber) .â€"Selected. One of the greatest places in China for propagating the gospel is preaching “on the market.” To this market, held in each cycle of villages on every fifth day, come all the pea- sants and small traders to buy and sell everything conceiva- ble, seeking a bargain in fractions of a cent. For the preacher, the market, though a place of pandemonium, offers endless opportunity. In all these places, on some kind of an eleva- tion, he takes his stand; he sings hymns, expounds the gos- pel, sells tracts and Scripture portions and exhorts.â€"â€"Dr. THE PASTOR OF ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTRY churches in Chosen led the meeting one night in connection with the big winter Bible class in Pyengyang.

I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS A CONTROVERSY WITH the churches because of the treatment so many of them have accorded to his Book. Many have lowered the Bible in the eyes of the peOple. Their motive may have been good, but the result has been disastrous. That it has been a necessity It is the sum of human activities with God left out 1' Creighton).

It is an insult to the scholars of the past to say so, and it is an insult to the scholars of today who stand by the old interpretation of Holy Scripture.
