D. C.—May 1.—“Re ligious Needs of the American Ne gro," were recently pointed out by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, Preaident of Howard University, when he ad dressed the Churchmen’s Club. He said it is estimated that 2.000 trained Negro preachers are needed annually to provide tor the race’s religious needs. "Only sixty-five are graduated an nually now from educational institu tions, and of this number the ma jority are from Howard University,” said Dr. Durkee.

If so, shall China continue to be contented like the rest of the world, with existing conditions of the past which made religion more or lees useful? Or shall China work for a better civilisa tion and a greater progress tn science and a more reliable philosophy?"
