Rev T. R. Curtis made his debut so Co speak, before an Arizona audience yesterday in the N, E. Church South, preaching two
 interesting sermons. Notwithstanding the position Was one of some embarrassment for so young a minister, he got along with it very well, and although he seemed to feel that much would be expected of him as the successor of one who was such a general favoritc. he did not quail, but girded up his loins and set himself to the work in earnest. The ice is now broken and hence forward he will feel as if he belonged to the army of occupation, rather than that of invasion.

THE CHINESE IN CALIFoRNIA.-Re Rev. J A. Merrill delivered an addres last evening on the necessity of Christianizing the Chinese, to which work he devoted himself for year or two before coming 10 Arizona. He took the ground that it was moi for the Church to say whether it was good policy to encourage the immigration of Chinese or not, that was a matter for the State to decide, and one in which the Church bad no right to meddle Church and State being two seperatc and dis tinct organizations. each having its OWE mis- sion to perform. The Church finds the Chi nese here in a state of heatheniSm. a tearfuly degraded people, as the ligitmate outgrowth of thousands of years of the practice of idol atry. and without inquiring how they got here. or whether any legislation is necessary to prevent more from coming or not, be con sidered il the duty of the Church and of all Christian people to endeavor 10 enlighten them. elevate them and Christianize them. He gave many instances of individual pro gress that came under his own observation while engaged in the Home Missionary work in San Francisco, and predicted that the young Chinese sent by their Government to liar yard and Yale to be educated, will hold their own on examination day, and in many instances excell some of their white fellow students.
