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.

berau.e of the a-senl n wh!ch has
frequently been made during the past,
few months that the Island Is practical !y

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

exports tq Porto Rlco from the United

in China. 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

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

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. "It is to the grant of this
room," he says, "that I attribute in a

denies the use of prayer and Insinuates
that God Is not Influenced by prayer.
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." (I Tim. vl:20,' 21.)

Examination of the Cult's Claim to
the Word "Christian."
PORTLAND, Aug. 12. (To the 'Editor.)
In an atlcle In yesterday's Oregonlan
in defense of tle Christian Scientists by
one .David B. Qgden appears a statement
which is bo grossly misleading to the un
wary and so utterly and pilpablv false
that I bsg the indulgence of The Oregon
lan for a smail space In which to refute
It Answering some" previous expressions
In The Oregonlan that ' the teachings of
Christian Science are un-Chrlstlan," he
says:
"As to the latter, let me state that no
class of religionists rely more Implicitly
upon the teachings of the founder of
Christianity, and none strl e . more ear
nestly to follow his example through' not
only preaching the gospel, but by healing
the sick." 1
This brazen, cold-blooded He is an In

one who haS taken the trouble to Investi

this statement Is one of unprecedented

Club Life In China.
London correspondent.
Club life Is not confined to civilized
Western countries. 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. City Star.

Toole Offense at the Spires.
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."
