World Tin Production and Consumption
The greater part of the tin comes from the Malay Peninsula, which furnishes 60.6 per cent., not counting the Dutch East Indies, which give 19 per cent. Following this come Australia, with 7.9 per cent.; Cornwall, 6.1; and Bolivia, 7.9 per cent. It may be remarked that forty years ago Cornwall furnished 50 per cent. of the total. The most productive region is that part of the Malay Peninsula extending from Burma and Siam to Sumatra. A considerable proportion of the tin which is taken from this region is carried into China, and thus escapes the control of statistics. In the Australian region the chief center of production is Tasmania. The principal consumers for 1898 have been the United States, 25,000 tons; Great Britain, 13,000; Germany, 14,500; and France, 8,500 tons. The exportation of tin plate from Great Britain has been 251,769 tons, and that country consumes 150,000 tons. The production of America for the year is estimated at 327,000 tons. The total production of tin plate is estimated at 750,000 tons, and the tin required for its manufacture reaches 20,000 to 25,000 tons.

WHAT THE GOSPEL HAS WROUGHT IN FIJI.
By Mrs. Susie N. Fulton
THE Fiji Islands of to-day are a living monument of the mighty saving power which exists in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The wonderful triumphs achieved through the spreading of Christianity in these islands furnish a powerful and convincing argument against those who endeavor to refute the fact that Christian missions are a grand success, and that cannibals are capable of receiving Christianity.
Surely there never existed a more vile race of people than the Fijians of half a century ago. Few missionaries ever entered a more unpromising field, or labored under such untoward circumstances as did the early missionaries among these islands; and few, if any, were permitted to see, in so short a time, such a wonderful reformation resulting from their labors.
Killing the Victim, Preparatory to Cooking Him.
With reference to the cannibalism formerly practised in these islands, one writer remarks:—
The cannibalism of Fiji was not only the outburst of passion or enmity, but was an institution mixed up with every-day life. The practise did not arise from scarcity of food, for when every other diet abounded, human bodies were looked upon as a delicacy, and preferred by some before all other food. The higher the rank the more this revolting custom was indulged in; and many of the chiefs so gloried in the number of bodies they had eaten, as to keep a register by making a line of stones, one stone being placed for each body eaten. The stones thus placed by two chiefs were counted by a native teacher, and found to number nearly 900.
As many as fifty bodies have been cooked for one feast when visitors were to be entertained. Among these would be found those of men and women of all ages, and even of little children. Nor did the cruelty of these people stop here; for the victims of their revenge were sometimes frightfully tortured, and even cut up alive, before being placed in the ovens.
These ovens were holes five or six feet deep; and when large feasts were made, they sometimes reached a circumference of forty or fifty feet. The oven was first filled with wood, on top of which stones were placed. After the wood was burned, the food, wrapped in large leaves, was laid on the hot stones and covered with grass and leaves, and lastly with a layer of earth. When the steam could be seen coming to the surface, the food was cooked. This method of cooking is used at the present day when feasts are made.
The utter disregard for human life among these islands is illustrated by the following facts: When a chief built a house, deep holes were dug in the foundation for the main posts; and into each of these holes a man was placed and compelled to stand with his arms encircling the post. The holes were then filled with earth and the men buried alive.
Another horrible cruelty was practised at the launching of war canoes. A large number of men were compelled to act as rollers, over whom the canoe was conveyed to the sea, crushing the men frightfully, and killing a great many. All captives taken in war were first presented to the war-god by the priest; then the head of each was dashed against a stone outside of the temple. The bodies were then washed, and carefully dismembered by an appointed carver, and the limbs wrapped in leaves and put in the oven.
Infanticide was commonly practised on feeble children, and when a healthy child became an object of anger or inconvenience, the mother did not hesitate to choke it to death.
Invalids and old persons were left to perish, or else speedily disposed of. The death of a chief or a person of high rank was always followed by the strangling of his wives and his mother, a fate from which the women manifested no desire to escape. The women were placed on a layer of mats in the bottom of the grave and the chief laid on them. One missionary told of a man and his wife who were working together in their garden, when the husband was suddenly seized with a ravenous desire for human flesh. He immediately prepared an oven, and made his wife bring some wood and stones for the fire. When all was ready, he seized his wife, killed and cooked her, and invited some of his friends to help him eat her.
The lot of a woman was a very hard one, and was rendered still more bitter by the cruel, brutal treatment of her husband. Polygamy was practised by all except the very poorest. Jealousy, hatred, and revenge were rife in the hearts of the wives, and found expression in various ways. A missionary's wife once asked a native woman why so many of the women were without noses. She replied: "It comes out of the plurality of wives; jealousy causes hatred, and then the stronger tries to cut or bite off the nose of the one she hates."
A Captured Man Who Is Being Dragged to the Oven.
Even at the present day the women are still regarded as the burden-bearers of the household and the servants of their husbands, who claim it as their inherent right and privilege to administer a whipping if they are not obeyed.
After reading this short account of the once savage cruelty of this people—and but few of the horrors and atrocities are mentioned that were committed daily among them—does it seem a strange thing that there is to be found in their language but one word, and one only, that expresses all that is meant to us by love, friendship, esteem, affection, sympathy, compassion, mercy, and pity? And that word is loloma.
Just what was comprehended in that one word previous to the time when they first heard the message that "God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son," and that it is required of man to love the Lord his God with all his heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, can better be imagined than described.
As might well be supposed, there is no equivalent in their language for the word "home." That word, which expresses so much that is dear and sweet to us,—"home, the sacred refuge of our lives"—is to them a meaningless term.
It was in the year 1835 that the first missionaries landed in Fiji. These faithful, devoted servants of the Lord Jesus suffered many hardships, and passed through many afflictions, and not a few laid down their lives for their Master. Within thirty-five years after the seeds of truth were first sown, cannibalism was practically abolished, and churches and schools could be counted by the hundreds.13Among the eighty inhabited islands, one could pass from island to island, and from village to village, certain of being welcomed and hospitably treated. The first sound that greeted the ear at daydawn, and the last at night, was that of songs of praise and prayer arising from every house at the hour of family worship.
It is evident that these islands could never have attained civilization without the aid of Christianity; but as the hearts of the people became changed, a corresponding change was wrought in their lives and customs. Gentleness, humility, contentment, and unselfishness in a marked degree, characterize the natives of the present day. Notwithstanding this, there is to be seen in the last decade a noticeable declension in spirituality among them. The forms of worship are still continued, but the power, zeal, and fervency manifested in their service in former days is wanting. Like the religious world at the present hour, they have a "form of godliness but deny the power thereof."
Natives Entering the Fiji Church—Beating of the Native Lali, or Drum, Anciently Used to Call to the Cannibal Feast.
There remains a great work to be done for this people. Both men and women are addicted to tobacco-using and kava drinking, and are entirely ignorant of the laws of health. Various skin diseases, affections of the eye, and loathsome sores are prevalent among them. This is an open field for the medical missionary, and we hope to see erelong a goodly number enter it.
MRS. SUSIE N. FULTON.
Suva, Fiji Islands, Jan. 11, 1900.
Korea.—Rev. H. G. Appenzeller, a Methodist missionary, reports that "Korea has swung back to ante-bellum days, and, unless there are checks not visible now, it looks as tho her last stage is destined to become worse than the first. Politically she is drifting badly, with Japan and Russia trying to board the craft and secure the helm. Just at present education as supplied by Western nations is not sought for. The head master of the English school failed to renew his contract, and has gone into the hotel business. The missionary sticks to his distinctive work, and finds good 'raw heathen' material to work upon, and longs for a mighty baptism of power, a mighty baptism of conviction of sin to come upon his hearers and adherents. There are no end of adherents, probationers, catechumens, and even members, but they do not seem to have any knowledge of that horror of sin one would like to see and ought to see. The sinner here acts very much like the sinner at home."
HIS YOKE.
By Alice M. Avery-Harper
O, COME to Christ; for He has said,
"My yoke is easy, and My burden light"!
Come, bathe those tear-dimmed eyes, anoint thy head,
And find in Him delight.
Yes, take His yoke, and thou shalt find
That He Himself will bear thy heavy load,
Nor grope in darkness pitiable and blind,
Along the narrow road.
Dispel thy doubts; give Him thy heart.
Behold His footprints, stained with sinless blood,
And take His yoke; from Him no more depart.
He is thy life, thy food.
His brow with cruel thorns was torn—
Unutterable the anguish and the grief.
With weary journeys often was He worn,
Yet brought He glad relief.
Look up, rejoice, and trust in Him,
Poor suppliant, for He will plead thy cause.
His burden and His yoke are wondrous light,
And just are all His laws.

OUR WORK AND WORKERS.
By Editor
At Rushville, N. Y., seven persons have accepted the Sabbath of the Lord, under the labors of Sister Lulu Wightman.
A report from Brother George R. Lesch, in the Indicator, says that ten members have been added to the church at Buffalo, N. Y.
From Finland we have the report that eleven book canvassers have just begun active work, after attending a canvassers’ school.
A church of fourteen members has been organized at Payette, Idaho, as a result of labor by Brethren E. D. Sharpe and H. W. Oliver.
“Our Spokane [Wash.] Mission,” says the Reaper, “still has to turn men away in considerable numbers because we have not room for them.”
Brother L. Johnson, who has charge of the Scandinavian work in America, is in Oregon for a time, and will be at the camp-meeting soon to be held at Portland.
“The work in Utah is growing, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances under which it is placed.” So says Brother J. M. Willoughby, of Salt Lake City, in Workers’ Bulletin.
A note from Brother J. P. Henderson says that the labors of himself and associates at Jerseyville, Ill., have resulted in fifty persons deciding to keep the commandments of God.
A postal card from Brother Victor Thompson says: “I notice in your report of my meetings [at Nebraska City] that six have joined the church. You may now [March 25] say thirteen, two by letter, with others keeping the Sabbath.”
Bethel is the name of the new post-office established at Woodland Academy, Wood Co., Wis. Persons desiring to communicate with any one connected with the school, or living in that immediate vicinity, should remember this fact.
In the death of Brother M. J. Church, at Church’s Springs, Calaveras Co., Cal., March 20, there passed away another of the earlier members of the church in this State. He was within one week of being eighty-two years of age. He was buried in Fresno, his former home, two days later, the services being conducted by Brother J. O. Corliss. He was at one time on the board of directors of this institution. Just after this funeral Brother Corliss was called to the bedside of Brother T. M. Thorn, in Fresno, who died the next day of tuberculosis, aged thirty-five years. Brother Thorn was a native of Missouri, and had preached in Kansas and Colorado before coming to California in quest of health.
Referring to the work of the mission in Portland, Me., the Vineyard says: “At a meeting which we attended not long since a reformed drunkard gave his experience, which was a long story of weak attempts to overcome his appetite for strong drink in his own strength. He said: ‘One Sunday morning I stumbled into the Open Door Mission and here I found Christ—a strong and mighty Helper to my soul. In Him I have found that which I did not have before and which I know is able to keep me from the demon of drink. When I came into the room I had no idea of yielding myself to God, but His Spirit followed me and strove with my heart, and I gave myself up to its influence, and I am not sorry that I did.’”
From the Reaper of March 28 we take the following note, by Brother G. W. Reaser, president of Upper Columbia Conference:—
“Our Boise Mission has been closed and is now under strict quarantine regulations on account of smallpox. Brother and Sister Kahlstrom, neither of whom have ever had the disease, have been asked by the city health officers to take charge of the smallpox hospital at Boise. They accepted the position, and are now engaged in that line of work, which would certainly be very undesirable to those who do not have the spirit of the Master. We copy the following extract from a recent letter received from them: ‘We asked Brother Casebeer to look after the mission as soon as the quarantine was raised. We are getting homesick to go back to work again, but there will be no chance to do so for a few weeks yet. The Lord has blessed us in keeping us well. The time is right here when we should not be afraid to go anywhere. Praise God for health reform. It is rather lonesome out here, but we feel that this is only a taste of what is coming.’”
Brother Casebeer, who wrote the letter for Brother and Sister Kahlstrom, on account of the quarantine, adds the following foot-note: “The mission is still quarantined, but they think it will be raised in a few days. The first three patients are nearly well. They walk around out-of-doors. Nine more were taken down a day or two ago, so that Brother and Sister Kahlstrom have their hands full.”
A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.
By Editor
DOUBTLESS most of our readers are not aware of the fact that the Sanitarium Medical Missionary Training School has a correspondence department connected with it, and sends out weekly lessons to a class of students who are not able to leave their home and other duties, in order to take a regular course at one of our sanitariums.
This work has been carried on now about one year, with very encouraging results. We expect to organize a new class in April, and would like to hear at once from those who desire to avail themselves of this opportunity. The tuition fee is $3.00, which barely covers the actual cost of sending out the lessons and correcting the answers sent in by the students. The books required for this work are furnished at actual cost price. This gives an excellent opportunity for any one who desires to become intelligent in regard to caring for the sick.
A descriptive circular, giving full particulars of the course, will be furnished on application. Address, Correspondence Department Medical Missionary Training School, Battle Creek, Mich.
LITERARY NOTICES.
CHEERFUL TO-DAYS AND TRUSTFUL TO-MORROWS. By Margaret E. Sangster. Illustrated. 319 pages. Cloth. Eaton & Mains, New York.
The book is a plea to the child of God to trust the All-Father implicitly, under all circumstances. "There is always blue sky somewhere, and all things are always working together for good to those who love God. The peace that passeth all understanding shall keep us, as the sentry keeps the camp, if we but trust and obey." Thirty-two helpful chapters, told in simple, cheerful, sympathetic words.
ARCHIBALD MALMAISON. By Julian Hawthorne. Second edition, with chapter of "After Thoughts" by the author. Illustrated by Freeland A. Carter. 12mo, cloth, 265 pages. Price, $1.25. Published by Funk & Wagnalls Co., New York and London.
IMPERIALISM.—A pamphlet of seventy-eight pages, by Charles W. Sarchett, Algon, Iowa. The author is opposed to imperialism in all its forms, and sees cause for alarm in the trend of affairs in this country. The past history of nations and men is freely drawn upon in exposing various evils inwrought in our educational, social, mercantile, financial, and political systems, and the attempt is made to show that history is repeating itself for the worse in this once "land of the free." While the author feels the situation keenly, unfortunately his ideas are not expressed in the clearest or most readable manner. Conway & Shaw, Des Moines, publishers.
THE RUSSIAN PROBLEM, a study of the Twentieth Century Crisis in World-power. By D. H. Woodard. A well-written tract of fifty pages,—No. 3, Vol. 4, of The Safeguard and Armory Library, issued quarterly by the Safeguard Publishing Co., Portland, Me. Price, 25 cents per year. This number, 8 cents. The writer gives a brief but comprehensive view of Russia’s history, her growth, religion, and ambitions. From these he forecasts a future for her, suggesting that her aim is nothing less than world dominion. By the side of the historical phase he places prophecies of Daniel, Revelation, and Ezekiel, and while we are sure he errs in the application of certain symbols, notably the prophecy of the two-horned beast of Revelation 13, yet the outcome of the whole situation is the battle of Armageddon not far distant, and the coming of Christ to set up a kingdom of peace and righteousness that shall know no end.

NOTES.
1. THIS is another illustration of the fact that in obeying the Lord's commands there follows a reward which meets the demand of the hour. When the Lord said to the nobleman, "Go thy way; thy son liveth," on returning home he found his heart's desire. When Jesus, out on the deep sea, said to Peter, "Come," obedience to the command provided power with which to walk on the water. The law of friendship with Christ is still the same. John 15:14. To obey implicitly is the first step into the Lord's confidence, and toward final reward.
2. IT seems strange that the other disciples did not recognize Christ, as did John. But as soon as Peter was told that the apparent stranger was the Lord, his old-time enthusiasm seized him. How like many of to-day, who do not of themselves discern the Lord in His dealings toward them, but have to be told by others that it is He, before they manifest any interest in the Lord's presence!
3. THIS question was to refresh Peter's mind regarding what he had said on the night of the betrayal, that, altho all the other disciples should deny the Lord, he never would; that he loved Him enough to go to prison or to death with Him, even tho the other disciples should forsake Him. So the Lord reminds us frequently, after our failures, of our boasted love, not by direct reference to the boasts made, but by some other test which will cause us to reflect on the failures.
4. PETER seemed to feel by the repetition of this question that Jesus doubted his love, and that he was being placed in a wrong light before his brethren. But the Lord was simply trying to impress upon him a lesson of human weakness, and the necessity of dependence upon divine strength in order to carry out the trust about to be committed to him. As Peter had thrice denied the Lord, after professing more love for the Lord than his brethren possessed, so three times the grave question was asked, "Lovest thou Me more than these?" O, that we might learn this important lesson before, by word or deed, we deny the Lord once, even, in the presence of His enemies!
5. THIS change is remarkable because it shows that Christ not only distinguished between the older and younger members of His body, but that He in this case called attention to the younger ones first, indicating that they should find a prominent place in the labors of those who work for the Master. It is also remarkable that the word "feed," used in verses 16 and 17, comes from two different originals. The one in verse 17 means to give pasture, and the other conveys the sense of tending as a shepherd. Not only then were the flock to be fed, but also tended, and cared for in every need.
6. SO IT is now; many take their eyes from their own work, to watch the course of others, as tho it were a part of their duty to know all the particulars of a fellow-labourer's calling. But the answer to Peter's question is a good one too for all inquisitive ones, "What is that to thee? follow thou Me."
7. THIS is an illustration of how unsafe it is to draw deductions from what the Lord says, and make them the basis of a belief. The admonition of Paul to Timothy, "Consider what I say," is worthy of much consideration in these days of speculation as to the meaning of plain statements in God's Word.15
3. Tell John what things ye have seen and heard.—
"The disciples bore the message and it was enough. John recalled the prophecy concerning the Messiah, 'The Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.' The works of Christ not only declared Him to be the Messiah, but showed in what manner His kingdom was to be established, not with the clash of arms and the overturning of thrones and kingdoms, but through speaking to the hearts of men by a life of mercy and self-sacrifice."—Desire of Ages.
4. A reed shaken with the wind?—Evidently the ones who had heard the question of John's disciples understood that question to be an indication of John's doubt or lack of constancy. Therefore the Saviour's question is a very pertinent one. He really asks them if they regarded John as a reed that could be shaken by the wind, now this way and now that. They could easily answer the question in their own hearts, for John had fearlessly and straightforwardly told them of their sins. His message had been clear-cut and unequivocal, without fear and without favor. John had not turned his back upon his work, had not denied Christ, nor would he.
5. There is none greater than John.—"In the announcement to Zacharias before the birth of John, the angel had declared, 'He shall be great in the sight of the Lord.' John was great in the sight of the Lord when, before the messengers of the Sanhedrin, before the people, and before his own disciples, he refrained from seeking honor for himself, but pointed all to Jesus as the promised One. His unselfish joy in the ministry of Christ, presents the highest type of nobility ever revealed in man."
