No man ever more firmly in the truth that it is ' not by might nor by but by the direct influence of the Holy that the intellect and conscience and heart of the heathen are to be to the No man ever wrestled more eagerly and fervently in prayer on behalf of the ignorant and let us no man ever laboured more indomitably with heart and hands and head that they might be And yet his avowed converts can be numbered on the it his We can see that itis his We should not catch the halo round his the inspiration that flows out of his as we now if he had had great revivals and had gathered in his converts in Pentecostal Even we can see that it is his And we do not look at the things he has written as a discoverer of Mongolia in the light of a compensation for his want of as a missionary of the Here is the peculiarity of this explorer's We do riot 11 he has failed as a been successful as a He was successful but the things he discovered belong to the be over against it. They give one the same the say of St. Paul's shipwreck are means toward the Gospel and they cannot be separated from it. 1 Thus we do not read James Gilmour's books about Mc the Mongols as we read In Darkest It things in Gilmour are more trustworthy they are not It is because they never forget what Dr. Alexander Said at his ordination You do not go to discover new The new book is fairly enough More About the There is more about the Mongols in it. But there is also more about James and this is the more interesting part of it. Three things are specially First there is the simplicity of his discovery that modern science is but a poor He says On the way back I thought of When in Mongolia I learned that the Mongolian geography of the world was so much at and that their preposterous statement of the form of the earth was made on the same inspired or divine authority as the rest of the the sacred I thought I had found a means If these people can be brought to know that the world was seeing their book false in one would it hot shake their confidence in the rest of the book To-day I found this hope a The through their contact with know and admit the shape of the yet hold to their which they must know teach the Probably they say little on this For the conversion of the Mongols there seems no human device left but personal and ' Not by nor by but by My saith the Next there is an amusing account of his efforts at acquiring kis new an account which throws a vivid light on the battles James Gilmour had to fight with and the victories he won there Here is the story as he tells a.m. Have just had a most trying with my I wanted to know the infinitive of that I might look it up in the The Buriat teacher gave me a phrase for derived and I tried but this would not I then proceeded to instance and so he broke out that these words were not at all the their meanings were he could not make out what I meant by going on To make matters he would not stop but gave me a host of sentences in which these different words came in in such a way that their meanings were To be compelled to listen to a long string of these which had nothing whatever to do with the subject in was mcst arid I had frequently to cover my face with my hands to cover my and pray fervently that God would give me I got him stopped at and by some which I now got him to say the infinitive One irritating element in the affair when 1 made a wrong shot at the he would scarcely stop on compulsion from explaining the meaning of the while it was the form that I I now tried to get out of him a name for the but it was little I looked in the dictionary for an and pointed out Then I gave the past and when and quite it turned out that the meaning was not as I but ' d ' and 11' are much is to and on this meaning I had to endure a string of examples which 1 thought would prove My vexation was now something and for the time I could do nothing but cover my face and pray for In the meantime the teacher started off on a long harangue about his not being able to tell me what I if I could not tell him what I was I could have shrieked with but was enabled to sit still with my face buried in my hands while the oration still went On recovering I sat for a little thinking how to go when my teacher took the dictionary and proceeded to read it
