Blake, the wife of the Governor (if Hung Kung, in which they pmyed fnl‘ the Women of China, discussed their “was. and how best to relieve them. Thu. male missinnarivs alsu held cnn- frrences for prayer and Bible study, that they (the missionaries) might, be themselves spiritually quickened, and thereby China blessed. As cppmtun- ily offers, they send letters and mes- sages of sympathy and encmlrage- ment to the scattered and persecuted converts who remain. Is that selfish or vindictive ? Orin-rs are empluyvd gathering up. \Ve Wish the enterprise evm'y suc- cess, and that, the woman who have it: in hand may be rewarded by rearing a buildng which will he Hex-edit, tn themselvoszmd u snulce of pride to their city and Province. There. are in China a considerable number who have found congenial 0c- cupation since the outbreak, berating missionaries and depreciating their work. I have befure. me a little. bunk in which these charges areylllected and answered by a gentleman who lives in Shanghai According to their critics, these missionaries are selfish, living in luxury, without tact. and are vindictive. They overestimate the, number nf their converts, who, they say, profess cunversinn simply for the lneu‘esnnd fishes. They lutn 0n the th VVhom ‘Nifl Ye Serve.- A Memorial Number on s are employed gathering up, ', the story uf the massacres, )ic courage and luyzllty to Jesus of missionalirs and converts 1d the many intex-nntiuus of God's hand, delivering from dent/h those whose time lmd not come. It is sud, ln-nrt-rending, but. glorious. For exeupple, eighteen colporteurs about to go on a journey. were warned of the risk, but, said, “, \Ve 0'0 on a CD‘- porteur tnur, God’s will be done." Only four of the eighteen returned: Their homes were looted and burned, and their families exterminated. ’l‘hey who escufiwed did so after passing thiough Lerri ile priVations. The whole story will never be told, but enough to make us rejoice in the pow- er of redeeming grace. . \Vas ever any country more afflict- ed and more in need of sympathy than Canada to-day ? The terrible scourge of war is now succeeded by one of the worst fumines on record. In the two northern provinces of Shensi and Shamsi. crops have failed for the third time, and the situation is so despnrnte that it is said cunnnlmlism pre lllS amongst, them. In the past, Mission- aries have been their friends in times of distress“ but, now the Missionaries have been driven away by their own act.

This very fm-uilnle language was not only spuken in the. presence of gentle- men, but also before ladies who were interested in the match. \Vhat In".th it appear more surprising to many was that the oifonders seemed not afraid of being overheard by the H.

A statelxieni‘; of the aifairs‘of the Canadian Bank of Commerce after the amalgamation has now been issued, and discloses a, very strong position. In point of capital and reserve the bank now ranks fourth among banking institu- tions on the continent of America. It hash’l branches throughout Canada; 5 Branches in the United States, namer at New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland (0113.), Skagway (Alaska); and one in London, Eng- land, (i7 establishments in all. The acquisition of the London office is an important step in the progress of the bank. The bank’s transactions in sterling exchange in the United States and Canada each year amount to many millions of pounds, and the abilâ€" ity to handle this business through the bank’s own London office will re- sultin an important addition to the earning power of the bank. In many other directions also the interests of the two banks will be immensely ben- efi't‘ted liy‘ the amalgamation. 7ix-culutiun Deposits . All Other. . Capital . . . . . . . . . ' .
