Bishop Harfzell, of the Methodist Episcopal chuich, lecently sailed for England, where he will remain for a lew days, and then so to Llboila and begin his second episcopal tour of Afrlnn. Bishop Hut troll's visit to this country has been legaided by him as a most piofltable one and he Is greatly encouiaged In his work. He Is now sending out ten additional mis? lonarlea to Llberlat all of whom are from lead in? schools In the South, for the educa tion of tho negro. A printing outfit costing $3,000 has been shipped to Mon lovla, the capital of Liberia, and umong other publications there will bo Issued a monthly paper to be known as tho New Africa The mlbslon pres- will bo In charge of an educated negro fiom the South, nnd tho work will bo done In one of tho industrial depart ments of the College of West Africa. The bishop also Is .sending out addi tional missionaries to Angola and Portuguese South Afrlcn, .south of the equator, and another printing outfit for the publication of hymns, tracts, books and the Sciiptuies In the Kimbunitii language, at Malange. His plans In Tastein Rhodesia, in British South Africa, include tho establishment of woik among both European nnd na tive people. Two missionaries already are on the ground, and hae accepted concessions in lands nnd liiiiinf amounting to fully $40,000. According to Mrs. K II. Sherman, of the Jewish Publication society of America, woik on a new ti.inslatlon of the Bible for English-speaking Jews Is well under way. Mis. Sheiman says this work Is expected to murk un lm poitant advance in Biblical knowledge as there Is in command of the scholais employed on It a mine of Talmudlc and Rabbinical literature. In which He burled 'rich veins of tiadltlon, con temporaneous jecords, casual notes, wondering and wonderful observations nnd enernblo mvth and leg ml " She adds- 'The existing Christian trans lations of the Bible into English and German were largely influenced by the writings of our great Jewish commen tators. It Is fitting, therefoio, since the time has como for a revision of these translations, that Jewish scholarship shall contribute its share to th era of Biblical woik which lies before us." a A letto received In New York from tho Rev William II. Judge. S J., who has charge of St. Mary's hospital at Daw sin City, ohows that the Roman Catholic church in the Klondike is prospering. Father Judge sa.s? that there is u etv lino new church at Dawson City tint cost $25,000 nnd was tho gift of one Alexander Mnnnnot.i It was consecrated on August 31st and was then turned over to the Oblates of Mary, who now have charge of the parish. There are from 500 to 600 at mass every Sunday. Father Judge nays that theie will be about 15,000 people in Dawson City during tho winter. "It Is sad," ho says, "to see how many poor peisona have left good homes to come hero, and find them selves without the necessaries of life, without money and without woik. I fear there will be much suffering this winter. Theio aro thousands still in tents and winter Is on us." J. M.
