Woe were visited last woak by two gentlemen who represent the so-called "Keswick movement"—Mr. Walter B. Sloan and the Rev. Stuart Holden, M.A. For five days addresses were given twice daily by this deputation, the audience being chiefly missionary. Dogmatics were generally and very wisely lot alone, and the emphasis laid on walking "in the Spirit." Upon the whole we think good work was done. It seemed to be assumed that the audience was composed of men and women who wished to be better and to do better work. We entirely agree with Mr. Sloan that mon and women sent out to be spiritual leaders to the Chinese should be " God-sent." What we never could understand is how a person can be of this sort and yet not be worthy to be trusted to decide for himself as to how, for example, he should wear his hair. Our own view, upon which we hold no proprietary rights, is that in just the proportion of the God-sent" quality may every man be trusted to follow his conscience in matters both, big and little Vandalism.
Reports have been heard from across the water that have suggested to some Port Arthur. We think it more likely that they were caused by the rock-blasting at the East Cliff. It is to be hoped that this work of cliff destruction will be suspended before many years. The present bluff is very' picturesque and there is plenty of stone almost everywhere if one will dig a little for it.
