THE interest which leading Chinamen take in educational institutions carried on in their country, even under Christian auspices, has just received a fresh illustration in the gift of $3,800 recently made by several Chinamen in Shanghai, among the number being several viceroys. The college receiving the gift was the St. John's College of Shanghai, conducted by the Protestant Episcopal Church.

THE Koreans are well known to be a very backward as well as lazy people, yet the gospel is accomplishing wonders among them. The Christians of Korea have a reputation for earnestness of desire to spread the knowledge of Christ among their fellow countrymen. A writer in the Missionary Review of the World tells an interesting story of the progress of Christianity in one city of seventy thousand inhabitants, which in 1893 was first entered by three missionaries. After eight years of missionary labor the message from this city comes over the sea, “A thousand at a midweek prayer meeting on a rainy night.” Truly, this is the Lord’s doings, and marvelous in our eyes. To these people the third angel’s message is due. Pray the Lord of the harvest to thrust forth laborers into his harvest.
