NOTES IN PASSING.

A text: "Do lead a life that is worthy of the gospel of Christ."—Philippians, i., 27. (Moffatt's translation.) The Rev. H. G. Gilbert, of Hamilton, who spent some time recently in India on his way to China, says, in a letter to the editor of the "Outlook," "Our foreign mission? will never be the same to me as formerly after all that we have seen. We came away thrilled with the band of workers we have on the spot, the great work they are doing, and the magnificent spirit in which they are grappling with it." Referring, in "The Spectator," to dictators, Aldoua Huxley says that they will enjoy but a temporary popularity. His argument for that popularity he puts down to the fact that people seek justification for such passions as envy, hatred, avarice and cruelty by means of nationalistic and revolutionary propaganda, and that dictators provide them with such justifications.
