A Lance Grrr. — The American Board of Com-
missioners for Foreign Missions recently received
a gift of a million dollars. The money is to be used
for educational work in foreign lands. ‘The giver
wishes to remain unknown. As he intrusts the ex-
penditure of this large sum to a Mission Board,

_ the generous giver no doubt recognizes that the only

true education is religious education.

ZEALOUS MIssIONARIES. — Magwamba converts
in Africa, reports a missionary, have at all times
been characterized by a strong desire to win their
heathen neighbors for Christianity. Some of them
went as missionaries to tribes near by, where they
were welcomed by one of the chiefs as follows,
“Know that I am happy to see you, and to learn
that you will teach my people. I know how they
say everywhere that missionaries are the friends,
the fathers of the black man.” ‘Then, calling to-
gether his subjects, he said, “Listen, my children!
You must learn from these missionaries; and if
you are too idle, I, who am older than any of you,
will so learn as to make you ashamed.”

Anoruer Examrte. — Another example of mis-
sionary zeal is related by Missionary Review thus:
“In the South Sea Islands zeal for the spread of
the Gospel does not decrease. The number of volun-
teers for work in Papua has not fallen off, neither
in Rarotonga nor in Samoa, and now the Gilbert
Tslands are beginning to take some small share in
this common Christian enterprise. Large numbers
of Chinese laborers have been introduced into Sa-
moa by the Germans, and the Samoans are organiz-
ing efforts to Christianize these invaders. From
Samoa contributions to the society’s funds have,
during the past five years, gone up year by year to
a remarkable extent, and from Samoa the society
has recently received about $23,000 as the contribu-
tion of the churches toward general missionary work
for the past year.”

mation. Tobe rendered ina Children’s Service. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price: Single

A new program for the Reformation Festival. It con-
tains a goodly number of appropriate hymns for singing
and for recitation. The historical matter has not been
inserted in the usual form of questions and answers, but,
instead, has been added as a “Brief Survey of the History
of the Christian Chureh, with Special Reference to the
Reformation,” giving a bird’s-eye view of the various pe-
riods of the Church’s History. ‘The children are to be

* eatechised on the historical facts of these periods as the

program calls for. We consider the arrangement an ex-
cellent one. If well drilled in all its details, the program
will prove very profitable and highly interesting when
publicly rendered in a Children’s Service.
