When the Bishop of Dornakai was : in London recently he was asked by the treasurer of a London churcn whether he had a cathedral in his Indian diocese. “No,” he replied, “we are not. thinking of cathedrals just now. We are concerned with the building of Christ’s church.” then informed the Londoner that the church building being used ait present lad cost only £25. “But you will have a cathedral some day,” urged the treasurer. “What will it cost?”' Much to the amazement the bishop replied, “About £2300.” “Why,” exclaimed the treasurer, “only the other day I .signed a cheque for £2OOO for repairs to our organ !” t That was the pity of it, said the missionary, for while money was plentiful, for the church’s work'in Christian lands, the Gospel had to be denied to thousands because the church in heathen countries lacked funds. O. Smiling Eyes ! sweet smiling eyes ! Their charm survives when beauty dies— One happy glance speeds gloom awavLike sunshine on a winter’s day. 4 Bright eyes which greet us with a smile Can even hardened hearts beguile, They cheer the anguished to endure Like soothing Woods’ Great Peppermint ciure.
