Judge McCarts Stewart saixd substan- tially : “The spirit of missions ist e spirit of Christ, who himself went about doing things for the befterment of mankind and sent his disciples out into all Ithe world so *‘do things.”” He drew a pic- ture of the needs of the world at the time when Christ came. The western world was in the depths of degradation the ideals of Socrates and Cato being submerged by the beastial immorality of men like Caligula and Nero, who were preferred by the people to men of high principle just as the rabble pre- ferred Barabbas to Christ. And the Jrient was suffering from cualtural religions, which appealed to the high and mighty :ißililng to grip the hearts of the plain people and cre- ating castes of thes strictest character. The speaker pointed out that even to this day the caste spirit was so acute under the teachings of Budhism in In- dia that if a man of one raste ate out of 2 plate it would be broken to pieces because a man of another caste was forbidden to eat out of the same plate. There was no commingling in brotherly association of man with man; there was no idea of care for the helpless and the needy; ithere were no asylums for the blind, for the sick, for helpless, for little children, until Christ came with healing in his wings. The speaker traced the elevation of women, the spread of education and the enjoyment of whatever is good in civili- zation to the work of Christ and the missions of the Church, which even now in the Far East were infusing humanita- rian principles into the Oriental reli- gions. And he said that no denomination of Christian, when viewed in.the light of members, had done as much in this direction as the Moravians. He paid a’ warm tribute to the labors of the early workers ip these islands, who has helped so largely to abolish slavery and to spread education. He cuncluded with the remark that Christ bad <taught brotherhood to the world, and that the day would come when race and color would be swallowed up in Christian fellowship; and, dark as 1s the present outlook, the principles es Christ would cover e cntire world. lbed. MISSION SUNDAY e B At the evening service to which a good- ly crowd congregated, Chaplin Steiner, U. S. N. ir very elcquent, and delibera- tive language expressea how earnestly he advocates the work of the Mission ard recalls with pride the work gs Moravian Missions especially. He drew several oral illustrations which served to portray more vividly tre excellent work of these who leave comfort and home to endure sacrifice and hardship that the gospel ‘ Jesus Christ be known even to the loneX Eskimo. The speaker also emphasized the fact that, though we cannot all be missionaries to foreign lands, yet we can at home and among our own peopie do our kit, and ‘‘according to the measure of our abiity’’ subscribe toward the up- keep of so noble a work. Rev. Leslie next followed up with that impressiveness of which he is wort, and proved how very responsible the Church, especially the Sunday School department 18, for the mcral and religious teaching of our youth, more so since scripture is no longer enforcec on the corriculum of the public schools. Be earnestly appealed for help for this blessed work especially from those most influencial and exemplary. We sincerely hope that the effect of these beautiful addresses will not soon be lost, and ‘that it may be more possible for each individual to lend a band in fur- thering the blessings wherewith we are blessed to heathen nations.—lbid. PEARLS MADE IN AMERICA. A French pearl is not a real pearl, but a flattering imitation cf the oyster made article. It is a glass bead cleverly erated with a film obtained from fish scales. The Frenc: have always drawn heavily on Russian resources .for these scales. When the wa&r put a stop to im- porting them, French women were no longer able to obtain the near jewel they so prized. Neither were we. To meet the demand, American dealers called upon the Bureau of Fisheries to find something to take the place of it. The Bureau found it, but not all at once. After much experimenting and in- vestigating that body decided that ‘‘the scales of sea herring and the shad in Chesapeake Bay possessed the delicate lustre.seen in Oriental pearls’”’ The process of taking the shine off of a scale and putting it on 2 bead was easy, once it was discovered.—Ezchange.
