The Millions 1884 . r again, browsing on the hillsides, or refreshing them-selves in the murmuring brooks ; or, both refreshed and satisfied, lie down at rest in the pastures oftender grass. Not unneeded was the scorching fire, nor in vain did the storm burst; the issue ofit all is seen in the soft, quiet beauty and the rich fertility that followed. Faith, however, needs not to see ; she foresees, and rejoices even while the storm lasts, wellassured of the blessings which will follow. She can say, Should war arise, in this will I beconfident ; and can encourage others to trust and not be afraid, by singing— With cheerful faith thy path of duty run: God nothing does, nor suffers to be done, But what thou wouldst thyself, couldst thou but see Through all th events of things as well as He.

Sfwrnllr Single fairies come to Cjmta as Ipssbmirics ? N interesting and important paper on this subject, which appeared in Womans Work inChina, written by Mrs. C. W. Mateer, of the American Presbyterian Mission, of Tung-chau, Shan-tung province, is here reproduced. Mrs. Mateer has by no means over-stated the need of women as workers in China, for she has referred only to workamong the adults. But in schools, and in work among the young of both sexes, Christian womenfind important spheres of labour in China as elsewhere. The China Inland Mission has nowsome thirty single women labouring in seven different provinces, as well as about the same number ofmissionaries wives helping in various ways in eleven provinces of China proper and in Upper Burmah.
