them members of the church spiritual, as well,
last night gave banquet to over 200 invited
guests in commemoration of tho opening of the
Chinese New Year. and also to show their
gratitude to their American patrons who have
been their guides, philosophers and friends"
The banquet was held in the Sunday school
room of the church, which was adorned with
hanging baskets Of flowers, and over the rostrum
by the intertwined Chinese and American flags.
Between these was an open Bible and motto.
The invited guests assembled in the audience
room and after an hour of social chat, were
ushered into the banquet room where, from to

dinner, from oysters and celery to ice cream and
coffee.

McMaster deplored the custom that called on
the office TO make speech, regardless of
the capabilities of it's occupant He
had known the Chinese of o6r city to suffer
abuse and persecution, but never to provoke it.
He had no speech about his person but would
take his cueh from the Chinese and apply it to
his own head doing as they did hereafter-that
is, he would keep his seat. The mayor got out
of it very we'll. Mr.. Binford. as master of cere-
monies and material and spiritual adviser of the
