tie them up to 'the boards or other agencies of foreign mission work. Fourth-To train all students, who remain at home, in intelligent, active sympathy with missions. During the twenty-three years of its existence its direct and indirect results have been as follows: 1. Nearly one thousand institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada have been reached. 2. Bands of volunteers (those who plan to go to the foreign field) have been brought into existence in nearly all the princil)al institutions. 3. Over four thousand volunteers have sailed to the foreign field. 4. Five quadrennial conventions have beell hel. 5. A full line of missionary educa tional literature has been created, and in 1907-08 there were 23,240 studying missions in 1,920 classes in 531 insti tutions. 0. Variotis colleges and universities have been led to support graduates in the foreign field, and some have founded and are maintaining separate missions of their own, such as the Yale, the Princeton, the Oberlin and the University of Pennsylvania eniter p)rises in China. 7. It has universally led to a deeper and more widespread spirit of Chris tian consecration and to higher ideals in the educational institutions in this country and Canada. 8. To it was largely due the organi zation of the Laymen's Missionary Movement andl the Young Peoplie's Missionary Movement. 9. It has influenced other Christian lands, and similar movements have )een organized in most of the Protest ant and in some of the non-Catholic nations. The following are a few statistics of the convention: Students )resent ............ 2,675 Professors present .......... .329 Missionaries present .......... 165 Secretaries of mission boards.. 95 General Secretaries .......... 105 International Secretaries 78 .uropean learned doctors . .. 3 Other leading Y.

To us it means the awakening, as in the words of the watchword of the movement, the evangelization of the wvorld in the present generation. T1he dlawn of this awvakening has alreadly comle. The evangelization is now in p)rocess, the rep)orts are encouraging. A broader and a brighter dlay is falling on Christendom. The studenits of our iland arec aroused on the future of Christendom, and the students rule. They are giving their lives for Christ's ats never b)efore. May God speed the wvork. That's a good suggestion about keeping the library openf later (luring exams. F'acullty, look into it. Chapel six (lays in the week. "Every day wvill be Suda bye a.nd bye."

The mining of gold and diamonds, especially gold, is playing a big part in the commercial world, and has much to do, we are told, with the financial affairs of all nations.
