THE “wrath of the dragon,” in its exercise, is not confined to the operations of an apostate church or to the venomous workings of paganism. Madagascar, where the blood of many a faithful Christian has been shed, is now under the control of an atheistic governor. He has ordered all mission schools to be closed. Concerning this the Lutheran says:—

This order is affecting the Norwegian mission very much, for it has one thousand schools under its control, which are of great benefit to the people. The governor did not give the reason for this arbitrary action, nor did he say where he will get the teachers for the schools he is going to build on atheistic sand. The Lord saved the Norwegian mission schools from the Jesuits ten years ago; his hand has not become too short to save them again.
