s THE MOUSING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, 'AUGUST 13, 1000.. HE PREACHED ON CHINA BISHOP CRANSTON'S SERMON GRACE CHURCH. AT He Did Not Speak Hlrfilr of Chlnn Ttnen Defended the Missionaries. Grace Church was crowded to Its ut most capacity last nljht to hear Bishop Cranston en China. In opening, the Ushop stated that it was not his purpose to treat of the hls to y of Cbini or to discuss the pul.tical situation, but rather to speak from a per sonal view, the Tesu'.t of an tight months' .sojourn in China. The missionaries, he said, seem to have been the only foreign ers In China who -were aware of the dan ger that has be n long th eatenlng, and repeatedJy warned the Ambassadors, until they Tvere accused of raying; "Wolf! wolf!" -when there was none. The danger to fore'gn rs was made painlully eviet to the bls'aop by the fact that the Jives of his own wife and daughters -were imperiled by the attack of a mob In the Ftrcets of Pekln. Tne Government of China has be n unabl; and unvilling- to preserve th" rlshth and safety of fo.e gn residents, and there is things, and bring: themselves Into con tact with all that Is divine and holy by attending- worship. Life Is a disappoint ment unless people know what it means and Its relation to the future life. "To attain a rounded and complete life requires daily and constant effort, and our life should be lived In preparation for the final end. Be prepared for. the hlg-h and lofty station designed for us by the great Creator." Remarks were made by Ir. Gue on the subject of church debt, and he pro ceeded to raise by subscription the debt of C00 remaining "to be paid on the church. A sum of nearly ?140 was raised, and the Ladles Aid Society pledged themselves to raise the remainder. Bishop Cranston then read the dedicator!' serv ice according to the Methodist fOrm, and the service was closed with a selection by I the choir. At the -close a delicious luncheon was served by the Ladies' Aid Society. The cost of the building is $1500, and the pastor. Rev. Mr. Barton, and his congregation are pleased -to be In their new house of worship. THE ARMY CANTEEN. Sustention That It Be Superceded by T,ord Robert "Instltnte." NASHVTLLE. Aug. 8. (To the Editor.)

WASHINGTON, -Aug. 10 Comm-rc: between the United States and Porto Rico during the two months In which th; new tariff act has been In operafcox shows an enormous Increase over that of the corresponding two months of the pre ceding year. This Is the mire observable berau.e of the a-senl n wh!ch has frequently been made during the past, few months that the Island Is practical !y Impoverished since the storm of last Au gust. Notwithstanding the conditions due to the storm, both as to material for ex portation and fac"ltlcs for purchase, the exports to the United States In May and June. 1300, were 50 per cent In excess- of those of the corresponding months of 1899, and the Imports from the Unite! St tes were more than, double those of the same months In 1S99. In May and June, 18T9 the imports into the. United States from Porto Rlco, as shown by the report? of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, were 5M6L99S, and In May and June, 19, trey were $2,322,124. In May and June, 1SS9, the exports tq Porto Rlco from the United States, were ?C65 9S7, and in May and June, 1900, they were $1,587,478. The figures of the total commerce with Cuba, Porto Rlco. Hawaii and the Phil ippines show In each case a marked growth, especially in exports. To Cuba, the total exports of the year are $26,513,613. againt $18,616,377 in the fiscal year" 1893. and J9.561.65S in 1898. To Porto Rico the exports In 1900 are $4 640, 4S5, against $2,6 5, 848 In 1899, and $1.5(5.945 in 1898. To the Hawaiian Islands the exports for the year 1S00 are $13,E09,14S, against $9.3.5.470 in 1899 and $5,907,165 in 1S98.

When the grounds of the en closure were enlarged, it was by pur chasing additional graves. So China mu-st be reclaimed grave by grave. Don t tell me, ' said the speaker, "that China cannot be converted. The native Christians are themselves building churches year after year." Bishop Cranston then proceeded to cor rect the impression of missionary work srs that go abroad, because of partial and incompetent information. Missionary work is carried on with intelligent effort and the spirit of cranky and goody-good evangelism is less prevalent in mission ary work than in the work at home. In regard to the charge that It is the missionaries who -have stirred up the peo ple of China and provoked them to hostilities against the foreign ers, the Bishop indignantly char acterized it as being made by people who know nothing of missionary work. He then told of the marvelous and self-sacrificing work, especially of the medical mis sionaries, and paid a magnificent tribute to the women medical missionaries, wom en ot the highest education and refine ment, "two American ladles"; nothing is more contemptible than the insinuation BometHpes made that women missionaries are coarse. "I believe." said he, "that God will have a special rod in pickle to punish those who call thee noble and refined lady medical mlsiona-les coare.' " Referring again to the character of the Chinese people, the speaker said that the two most notable traits are memory and cunning. As for conscience or character, the Chinaman has neither. He is honest only as far as he is watched. Li Hung Chang signed the petition to the English Queen against the Importation of opium, vvhlle at the same time his family were the greatest opium-growers in all China. There is no process of saving China ex cept by training her people generation after generation to think; when you can get a man to thinking.- his idols will go fast enough. This work the missionaries are doing. The missionaries represent the only possible solution of the problem or peaceable contact between civilized na tions and China and Corea. The bishop repl'ed with vigor to the at tacks on missionary work. He dwelt on the superior character and attainments of the missionaries, and showed that sus picion had fallen on them only because of the brutal and greedy conduct of foreign merchants and the Inexcusable violence of foreign nations greedy for territorial acquisition. The work of the Protestant missionaries has always been conciliatory aid wlnnl-g to the people. Measured by all standards, Protestant missions aiming at the renewing of a world in righteousness, represent the best there is In humanity, and the brightest there is in divinity. If you should call all missionaries borne." he said, "the conflict in China will not cease. It is an irrepressible con flict between civilization and barbarism. It mutt go on until the world is turned bottom side up. with the thieves and tvrants turned down and the oppressed ried up Tl e orld cannot remain hair civil zed and rtlf larba-'an ' In weighing th rtsp nslblllty for this conflict, we must dlst.ngulsh.

All attractions were removed to the recreation-rooms. Tho name "liquor bar" was substituted for "canteen," which was reduced to small proportions, and to avoid an excuse for frequenting it, the men were allowed a limited amount of beer, to be served. If required, with their suppers In the refreshment-room. Lord Roberts likewise Induced an amal gamation of all the existing temperance societies, together with an allotment of a separate room in each "institute" for the exclusive use of this regimental as sociation.

On page 313 we find that the "divine ear is not an auditorial nerve"! Christian Science denies- that God could exist with out man. it denies that man has a sep arate existence. Any one can prove to his own satisfaction that It denies all these principles of Christian religion by their "Key to the Scriptures." As plain as the Christian Scientists show up their 0"n belief to b? unb:lief, they can yet bay. with brazen hypocrisy or dense, ridiculous ignorance, that "no class of re.lgionlsts rely more implicitly upon the teachings of the founder of Christianity, and none strive more earnestly to follow his example" than they do. Verily, these are ihey against whpm Christ warned the multitudes, "Beware of fake -prophets', which come to you in sheep's clothing; but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Matthew, vi:15. And Paul foretells In II Thes. 11:10, 11, a departure from the faith of such as these, when he says: "They received not the love of truth, that they might be saved; and for this cause God , shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a He." - , Christian Science 4s exactly as Webster defines humbug an Imposition under fair pretenses. It is distinctly outside of the Christian church, unscrlptural, a stimulus to ungodliness, inconsistent, a glaring falsehood, an "old-wives' fable." I Tim. lv:7, denying Christ and perverting his truth. It is beyond the comprehension of a true follower of Christ, that any man with an ordinary degree ot intelligence and knowledge of God's wocd could put faith in this old wives' fable and flimsy pretense of Christianity. With such a foundation to their religion as they have, they have never yet accomplished one cure through the true and living faith In Christ. "Keep that which Is committed to .thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science, falsity so calkd, which some professing have, erred con cerning the faith."

PORTLAND, Aug. 12. (To the 'Editor.) In an atlcle In yesterday's Oregonlan in defense of tle Christian Scientists by one .David B.

The rich Chinaman has had his club for centuries, and, as a rule, in the elegance and splendor of the internal decorations there Is nothing comparable- with it In London or New York. Most of the larger Chinese cities, like Canton or Pekln, contain a club" for man darins and rich men with pretensions to rank. Some have a political taint, some are merely fiocial, but all have one peculiar feature. This is a room or oratory set strictly apart for religious exercises. In tho oratory the Image of a Chinese god Is placed. From time to time members of the club enter the sanctuary to offer their devotiors. Apparently It is no uncommon thirtg at the beginning or successful end ing of a great enterprise such ae, say, the murder of an enemy, or the consum mation of a political conspiracy to see a Chinaman hastenlrg from the secular part of his club bearing a rich offering, or a prayer, for the god In the club sanctuary He observes his devotions, with a gravity that bears witness to his sincerity. Some devout Chinamen visit the god the mo--j ment they enter the club building, and But She Rid Herself pf It as Soon as She Could. She was fair of face and well, say 25. Her clothes were neat and cool. Pinned to the bosom of her shirt-waist was one of the large buttons distributed by the Bureau of Information for the accommo dation of strangers visiting this city dur ing the session of the Democratic Na tional Convention. This large button bore the tallsmanlc words, "Ask me." "Vyhen she tripped into the car and took a seat the men stared at her. The women did likewise. Opposite sat a middle-aged woman with a 7-year-old daughtei. Thef'chlld stared at the large button on the shirt-waist, and then, pointing to It, ooiai "Whnt Is that, mamma?" L Vlt's-very rude to point, don't you know. my dear; quoin mamma. "Well, what ls It?" she again inquired. The young woman heard the Inquiry and reprimand and smiled at the perverse pess of the child; then, holding out her hands, said: "Come here, little sweet heart, and I'll explain it to you." The child looked at her mother, who nodded assent. She went over and was lifted to a seat In the young woman's lap. "Now I'll tell you all about It. These buttons were designed for the purpose of furnishing Information to the many vis itors who will come to Kansas City next week. If they are seeking a hotel or street or store, all they need do ls ask the wearer of a button like this. In other words, the wearer of a button like this will answer questions asked. Do you understand now?" she asked. The child nodded her head. "And are jou going to answer ques tions?" queried the child. "Just try me and see," replied the young woman. The child fingered the button in silence for a few moments; then she suddenly asked: "How old are you?" "I'm " "Are you as old as my mamma?" per sisted the child. Mamma frowned. The young woman smiled. "Are you married?" was the next ques tion. "No, dear, I am not." "Why don't you get married?" The young woman showed signs of em barrassment. . "I expect to seme time," she replied. A Chinaman came Into the. car. The child took her eyes off the young woman long enbugh to see who was the new passenger. "Would you marry that Chinaman?" she asked, pointing to where he sat. Mamma smiled, the men laughed and the young woman blushed furiously. Putting the child down, she signaled the conduc tor to stop and stepped from 'the car. Before the car was out of sight she threw that "Ask me" button as far as she could send it. Kansas.

New York Post A Rome correspondent describes the Pope as particularly grieved at the de struction of the new Roman Catholic Ca thedral in Pekln, toward the erection ot which he was a generous subscriber. It seems that the building was an object of offense to the Empress Dowager, by reason of Its spires overtopping those of the Imperial residence. To satisfy her scruples the Archbishop of Pekin acqui esced in various architectural alterations, but apparently these were not sufficient to avert the antagonism of the lady and the "Boxers."
