The Mission now has 206 central stations, and,900
missionaries in China. From the beginning to the
present time, Great Britain has contributed more
than $2,865,000 for the work of the mission, all of
which has come to it without direct appeal to any

but God.

SwepisH Mission 1x Curva. — The Lutheran
Chureh in Sweden has also been doing mission
work in China for some years. It now has 24 mis-
sionaries and 49 native helpers at work in its 25
stations. Its 12 schools are attended by 315 pupils,
and the seed sown in preceding years is gradually
beginning-to sprout. In 1907 the missionaries bap-
tized 107 converts.

Love For THE BisLe.— Dr. Underwood, who
recently lectured in our country on mission work
in the island of Korea, says:

“The native Korean convert is zealous to study
‘his Bible. Bibles are not given away in Korea,
nor sold for a small fraction of their cost, but fetch
the full cost of their production. Yet, in spite of
the Koreans’ poverty, so great is the demand that
last year, when the Bible Committee had ordered
a new edition of’ 20,000 copies of the New Testa-
ment, the whole edition was sold before a word
had been printed. Koreans will endure great priva-
tions and travel for days to attend a Bible class,
and these classes, varying,- according to locality,
from 250 to 1180 enrolled members, will continue
from ten to fourteen days. Then the attendants
upon these larger classes in their turn hold smaller
classes, so that one station in the north reports
during the past year as many as 192 of these
smaller classes with an enrollment that exceeded
10,000.”

On tHE Conco IN Arnica. — One evening at
nightfall, a few months ago, says the Book of Mis-
sions, a missionary on the Congo River in a steam
launch, seeking a place to moor the boat for the
night, was startled by a lusty chorus of men’s voices
singing in the native language: “All hail the power
of Jesus’ name.” The missionary had found his

place to stop; for there among the reeds were *

some big canoes full of young Africans on a fishing
excursion, and there were Christians among them
- with Bibles and hymn books. « And this in the heart
-of the Dark Continent! ‘The missionary gladly
joined in the words: “and crown Him Lord of all.”
