has just been published by the Scandinavian Alliance Mission, The PUM' came into existence on the 16th day of the 8th moon and issued as its aim the following prospectus:—'The paper will contain not only local and civil news but, in small way, record the important events of China an foreign countries. The aim is two-fold; to disseminate truth and to enlighten men." It will be published chiefly in colloquial. The Editor is the Rev. P. Henrichsen who passed the curriculum of study set by the Inland Mission in a remarkably short period and with distinetion. The importance of the new effort is quite sufficiently significant to call for remark. It is only one of the thousand ways in which missionaries pioneer progress in any land. We can all wish prosperity to this new messenger of truth and weapon of justice.
