It in HK't't'iuintd thus: .vup pose the pupil In have been examimd at the beginning of the term, and 'as figtied to a grade. The report cards for two months hve given the teach er's estimate of the scholar's wot k in daily recitations on the scale of 10 or 100. The first quarterly examination shows what the scholar can do for himself, and the papers are estimated on the same scale The daily schol arship of two months is then added to the results of the examinations, and an average made, which represents pretty faithfully the actual fact about the pupil's rank or position in the grade. For sample: If A. has an average of 70 on the four weeks in scholarship on the first month's cards, then an average of 75 on the four weeks of the second month's cards.and has made an average per cent, of 65 on examination iu all the studies. then 707565-210. 210370 per cent., and the rank is determined on coming the nearest to 100.

Whereas.this I'fll'ciing dispensation falls with crushing weight on the de voted sister, left alone in pn interior tonti iu China, on the family and on the Woman's Missioiuirv society, aud Whereas, ihis.to ou" limited view, " seems an irreparable blow to the work; therefore, ' Resolved, that, while we cannot fathom the depth of this mysterious providence, we bow in faith and sub mission to the divine will, and wait before Him who gave and bath ta ken away for grace and guidance in this extremity. ' Resolved, that we lay our hearts in love and sympathy close leside the dear bereft one in that far off land, who is doubly bereaved, in the loss of sister, of associate and ro-worker. Resolved, that we tender affectionate condolence to the aged, widowed mother who . withheld ' ' V't ,SvjtJW'1l.tAti, Williy,-,i'rV.t.g her two precious danglhers to foreign mission work a the earliest call of the society, and to the brothers and sisters our sympathy in this sore af fliction, praying that our pitying Saviour will encompass all ihe strick en ones in His arms of love, and that an all gracious God may hold thm in H'S strong right hand and send Ihe promised grace that will enable tnim to say, "Not as I will, but as thou wilt." Resolved, that, in this dark hour to the work in China, when Ihe brave but insufficient band is weakened by the exhaustion of two of the best workers, and the death of one of tha truest and strongest, we bow our selves before God and call mightily up on Him to send forth laborers 'j nil up the broken ranks. Resolved, that especial prayer be made that hindering causes may ne removed from the way of those who are willing and fitted lo go. Resolved, ihat a copv of these miu utes be sent to Ihe bereaved family of our beloved missionary, mid that they be punlished in (he Woman's Misionary Advocate and other church papers. Mrs. D. H.
