Insists That Christian Religion Is Intended for All Races Lec tures at Albany. ALBANY, Or., July 17. That the Idea, which has been disseminated widely In the past two weeks that the Christian religion is not for the Chinese race Is wrong, was the emphatic assertion of Dr. Benja min Young, pastor of the Taylor-Street Methodist Church of Portland, in an ad dress at the Summer Bible School In this city yesterday afternoon. He arguel that Christianity is for the Chinese and Japan ese and all peoples, sto matter how de graded they are. His subject was "The Value of a Man." and he said all men are equal In the sight of God. Dr. Young commented on editorials which have appeared In many leading pa pers of the country recently regarding the murder of Elsie Sigel in New York and the consequent comment that Chris tian workers should not try to convert Chinamen. He took Issue with different distinguished editorial writers on this sub ject, and urged that Christians should try to carry the teachings of Jesus Christ to every person on earth, no matter whether red, black or yellow in color. He did not say. however, that girls should act as missionaries to Chinese. In fact he did not mention that phase of the matter at all, as he was not discussing the Sigel case, but rather the editorial comment which has resulted and which has advo cated the doctrine that Chinese are unfit for Christianity. The regular classes of the Bible school continued their work this forenoon, the Instructors being Dr. Edwin Sherwood, of Salem; Dr. Milton G. Evans, of Ches ter, Pa., and Dr. F. H.
