REV. DR.. MATTHEW YATES, the Oldest
Of the Baptist missionaries in China,
| having been there forty-two years,
died March II, aged 10.
LAST year there were eight new
| Presbyterian churches and nearly ZOO
new members added in South Carolina.
But there are still two counties in that
State in which there is not a single
Presbyterian church. - The PreS6y-
terrain.
A Chinese Y. NJ G. A., which was
organized few months ago in Sydney,
New South Wales, by Chinese mis-
sionary, now numbers 100 mem bers.
The congregations of the Presby-
terrain Church, North, and the Presby-

of the Broadway Presbyterian Church.
SOME one has been proving aronnd
in Scotland and has discovered on

Scotland"
A RECENT enumeration of the congre-

PEOPLES CHURCHES. I
Iris no special wonder that in a
fallen world religion is uphill work.
Nor, so mlasmatic is sin. is it strange |
that pity is infected by it until even the |
which the church of C'risr |
has of it's own work become not only |
inadequate, but misleading. In no
other way is it so easy to account for |
the patent fact that Christendom has
so lamentably overlooked the preaching |
of the gospel to the poor as being not
merely its highest function, but It's
securest authorization. So accustomed
have good people become 10 the Ioutlne
methods of popular Christianity-to
houses of more or less splendor,
with their far-clanging bells. their
loud sounding organs. their well-cush-
toned pews, their more or less eloquent
pastors, their quarterly bills, their
regulation procedures of all sorts, week

the various ATTRACTIONS" are able to
draw" thitherward, that it seems al
most like some disturber of the public
sans-cuLOtte or anarchist
with bomb-for an intense man, fired
with deep conviction, to start out in
the endeavor to arouse good men to
think that if Christ himself knew what
Christianity was this is very poor lot
of il; and that if those who call them
selves by His great and gracious name
want to be worthy of the real greatness
and graciousness of it they must come
down from all this to go out into the
and hedges after the wretched
and the wandering and the wandered.
to win first their attention and next
their interest; doing this while not
leaving all the rest undone. Day by
day it gets clearer that one of two re-
suits is on its swift way: either the
church must readaut itself to what the
wcrld needs or the world will practically
cut loose from the church altogether
