twenty cocoa-nuts and make your oil; it will suffice. But it will be much harder if you get in debt for four or five months, and leave it all to be made at once.

"Yes, in this you are not like the people of Jaluij. They have but few cocoanuts, and their "aling iju" is under the sea. Do folks live there? No; but they do not shrink from the danger of drowning or fainting, but dive down and search for red coral, that they may have something to give to God. [We received $5 from the sale of red coral from Jaluij last year, and think it will be more than double that this year. The church, formed there last November, numbers ten, under a native teacher].

"I want to read to you another word from Mark xii. 41-44: "And Jesus sat over against the treasury," etc. When Jesus was sitting there, he saw the rich bringing their gifts from their ten thousands, or five thousands, or three thousands, or their thousand dollars, and they gave a portion. But this woman, a poor widow, came and put into the treasury two mites, or one farthing. When she had done this, Jesus called his disciples that he might tell them about this woman. "This poor woman has given more than they all, for she has given all that she had, yes, all her living."

"What do think of the praise Jesus gave this woman? She had given and not kept back a part. This poor woman,

with no husband, without food, did not grudge to give all she had to the Lord. Why did she do this? Because she had repented, and brought forth good fruit. So it is your privilege to give your all to God and trust him, for he will always reward faith.

"What think you of Jesus' coming to earth to die for us? He knew they would betray him; that nails would be driven into his hands and feet, and that the spear would pierce his side. Why did he come? Because of his love to us, and pity for us. Where is some little you can do for him in return for his great mercy?

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life: Lectures to Educated Hindoos, delivered on his late visit to India, by Rev. JULIUS H. SEELYE, Professor in Amherst College. Boston: Congregational Publishing Society. 1873.

THIS small volume of 146 duodecimo pages, will be read with great interest, both because of its intrinsic worth and because of the circumstances which gave it being. It contains four of the lectures delivered before large and continually increasing audiences of Brahmins and other educated natives in India, written out af

ter their delivery, and first published at Bombay, at the earnest request of native gentlemen who had heard them. They are entitled, (1.) "The Desirable End of Progress"; (2.) "The Christian Religion worthy of Examination"; (3) "The Light of Life"; (4.) The Need of a Divine Work in Man's Redemption." A lecture of his on Miracles, previously given in Boston, which Professor Seelye found circulating among English readers in India, is also republished in this volume, adding to its completeness and value for future use in India, as well as here.
