Wilson, a well-known sxponsnt-. of tho Unitarian faith, referred to the present anti-Japanese agitation and ex pressed himself as opposed to ths ex elusion of ths little brown man. "I do not pretend to speak with au thority about the future," said Rev. Wil son, "but certainly It seems at present ss. If ths northwest would bs in a bad way If It were not for the sturdy little men, who can and are willing to work, now that it Is so difficult to get labor for tha rougher classes of employment" Rev. Wilson expressed ths opinion thst the Influx of Japanese is not nesrly so much to be feared as -tha ImmlgrsW tlon of whits foreign laborers. Said ho: "I do not- think that western people resliss how much greater.' up to now. at least hss been the problem of Immi gration among ths cities of ths Atlantic seaboard. If appesrsnces count for any thing, ths Chlness snd Japanese ons sees on every hand nest, industrious snd orderly form a fsr more desirable clsss of residents than do tho Klavs, low Itallana, Bulgarians, Greeks and others who coma from csntrsl snd southern Kurops." Rev. Wilson's subject was "Ths Fu ture of Liberal Christianity." and was for ths moat part an exposition of ths differences between Unitarlantsm and orthodoxy.

Dr. firouabac mads a strong appeal for ths svsngel lastloa of sll nations through our. mis sionaries, and a generous response was ths result of his earnest talk. In 'tha evening he took for "his sub' Ject "If Christ Had Not Bern Born What?" In . this connection he showed thst such a supposition would wipe out all the churches, do a war with all liters ture pertaining to Christianity, and with sll the art which has found its Insplrs t ion In his name.
