—Morethan 20,000 Icelanders, two-sevenths
of the whole population of that bleak island in
the Arctic Sea, have found a home in Mani-
toba. A New York M. E. minister of note,
Dr. Buckley, on a recent visit to Winnipeg,
attended services at the Icelandic Evangelical
Lutheran church, and writes enthusiastically
of the good religious condition of these people.
“The minister,’’ he says, ‘‘conducted the wor-
ship in a way which might serve as a model for
any preacher of the Gospel. All participated
in the singing; children, of whom there were
a Jarge number, sang from their own books,
and not'the least inattention or irreverence
was seen.”

—Mapacascar has a remarkable history,
and the fact that the Gospel has @ry foothold
at all in that martyr land is one of themaryels
of modern missions. From what is sometimes
written and said about it one migft inferthat
the land is practically Christianized, and that
few heathen remain to be enlightened. This
is a mistake, however. Though there are on
the island 1360 self-supporting Christian con-
gregations, there are, out of a population of
4,500,000, probably 3,000,000 still living in
heathen darkness.

- In our next volume the little Pioneer will con-
tinue to speak, his simple words for Jesus.
Those that will help to increase the circulation
of our monthly will render a service unto the
Master. ;

—A FRIEND of the Pioneer, referring to our
Answer to a Catholic Layman in the last num-
ber of our paper, calls our-attention to an
official declaration of the Roman church in re-
gard to religious liberty. In the Bull of pope
Leo X. against Luther, dated June 14, 1520,
statements taken from Luther’s writings are
rejected and condemned as false and heretical.
One of these statements reads thus: ‘‘To burn
heretics is contrary to the will of the Spirit.”
This statement the Roman church in that Bull
rejects and condemns, thereby declaring her-

7. self opposed to religious liberty and in favor
of burning all that do not agree with her. We
call the attention of ‘‘Catholic layman’’ to that
Bullof Leo X. He will find it in Smets Con-
cilium Tridentinum p. 259 ff. The 38d state-

‘ ment is the one to which we referred above.

—A story comes from Constantinople which

illustrates the degree of intelligence as to
Christianity which prevails among those who
are not commonly regarded as belonging to
the ignorant classes. In the Galata district
of the city, a colporteur was found having in
his possession a portion of the Scriptures,
| _ -«* namely, the Epistle to the Galatians, where-
aa upon the authorities seized the book with the
