Dr. Headland Lectures on China

THE students and local friends of the Foreign Mission Seminary were greatly favored last week by two lectures from Dr. Isaac Headland, who has spent twenty-two years of his life in Peking, China. The first lecture, on "Some of the By-Products of Foreign Missions," showed in a striking manner how greatly we are indebted to the influence of the gospel, not alone for our spiritual help, but also for the temporal blessings which we enjoy. The second lecture dealt more especially with conditions in China, and with some of the events leading up to the recent revolution. Dr. Headland's personal acquaintance with many of the prominent men of the empire, and his wife's ministry as a physician to the royal family, enabled him to speak with authority concerning the great transformation from empire to republic. These lectures marked the opening of a lecture course which the Seminary has planned to furnish during the present school year.
