Bible Influence.—Mr. Poultney Bigelow, in writing of his visit to Port Said on the Suez Canal, has this good word to say for England: "When first I visited this place it was a byword for wickedness, a refuge for outcasts and criminals. Today it is clean, law-abiding, and prosperous. What is the secret?—Nothing but plain old Bible teaching. The Briton has planted the seed of justice in Egypt, and his reward is in sight."
