"Of the 111,1100,000 Inhabitants, two flflhs claim direct descent from an cient tribes or families which are ac cepted as the basis of Mexican his tory, two-llfths are of mixed native and foreign blood, the remainder being classed under the common appellation of 'foreign. "Throughout much of the country, nnd often within short distances of railroads, are remnants of some of the ancient native tribes or races, ad hering to customs, methods and speech of their ancestors. Thus In Oaxara are the Znpoteens and Mlxteeas. the estimate for the two races being a half million, and a government pulillentlon mentions n dozen other families iu tile same state.

"Defend me from them that rise against me, they lie in wait for my soul.'' (Psulm lix. 1, 3.) There is a Inw th'.it as man goes forward spiritually every negative state of mind in which he has ever been returns at intervals to engage him in battle. Old and perhaps for gotten states of aversion to others; of resentment and of anger; of fear and of contempt; of mental and moral i weakness, meet him again and again. ; Tho sum total of each class of these i thoughts and feelings seems to form an evil entity which runs ahead of him and lies in wait until some event ! or act unleashes the thing and sud denly it is upon him. Under this law, every man, some day, is sure to meet his thought cre ations at rocky desert places along the path of life. When he meets one of them and, thank God, he meets only one at a time it is no easy task to rightly estimate, analyse, and fight it through. It takes courage, truth, a clelar-visioned ideal, and prayer to do it, it cannot be done by man's unaid ed power, but it can he done! Thanl God for it And the man who fights through many such battles is made of hero stuff though he wear no outward Croix da Guerre or Victory Cross. Wm. R. REES.
