EVENING EXERCISES.
Short Addresses by Missionaries
Concerning Their Fields of

In the evening Plymouth church was mad
equate to accommodate the vast throng Of
people who desired to attend, and although
many stood i'll the aisles, an overflow meet
ing of goodly proportions was held at West
minister church
The exercises of the evening consisted of
short addresses by several different speak
ers which were not Of q nature to interest
the general public. After singing and
prayer. Rev. E. T. Chambers, missionary at
Erzroom, Turkey. was introduced, who de-
tailed some of the difficulties experienced in
intoxicating the Christian religion in that
quarter of the globe. Rev. b. P Beach, mis-
sionary at Tongcha North China, was the
next speaker. Among other things of inter-
est he said that, while the Japanese intel
lect is quicker and brighter than that
of the Chinese, the Chinese have
more stability. Dr.. Doremus Scudder,
interesting address. Japan, he said, is in a
state of mental fermentation. Imagine q
people that have been oppressed ana crushed
for centuries. Suddenly awakened to find
themselves possessed of a perfect postal sys-
tenn, schools which teach the loftiest patriot
ism. and many other modern institutions,
and you can yet imagine the mental excite

possessing the Japanese mind to an
unique degree-love of nature; nature
to them is the sister of revelation. Next,
love OF education-the average japanese
and third love of country He said 1t will be
folly to attempt to enforce upon the Japan
ese the religious forms of this country.
Rev. DR.. a. 81. Behrends, of BROOKLYN, N.
Y, made the closing address, which was a
statement of the effort that has been made 10

logical opinions of the candidate, they NAV
address to him such supplementary questions
as appear to them important. and if further

The fifth resolution as amended was then
explained as doing nothing but cut off the
the home secretary and the board. AS such,
after DR.. Witherow, of Boston, had pleaded
for brotherly love, the resolution was
adopted, and the question which has agitated
the American board for years--the method Of
examination of candidates-was settled by
change IN the method
DR.. Witherow introduced resolution ex-
pressing confidence IN the home secretary
and the prudential committee, and it was
adopted. The last resolution from the COM
mlttee of nine, relating to the annulment Of
all rules conflicting with those Just made,
was referred back to the committee after
dlsorderly debate, rising to points of order.

THE SILVER BELL MINE.
Salina Newton Wants 100000
Worth of 1t.

A suit involving large figures has been be-
gun before Judge Lochren. Salina E. New
ton brings action to redeem stock of the Sill
yer Bell Mining company, whose mine is at
Aspen, Col, amounting to $2Q0.OOO The
suit asks for an accounting, and for the privi-
lege of buying up the whole mine. She
would have 100000 profits. Robert A.
Newton held a one-fourth interest in the
mine, the same as Salina but he has long
since disappeared. He is made defendant
in the case, however. Charles n. Field, Al
bert Harrington and Alphonzo Gooding are
directors of the mine, with Van Dusen and
Chadburn, and SO are made defendants in the
case.

wholly failed to live up to a contract made
with them, and has done nothing toward i'm

THE COMMITTEE OF NINE.
Papers Which Were Read Before
the American Board.

Besides the report or the committee of
nine and the usual devotional exercises.
DR.. E. Is. Alden at the morning session read
a paper on missionary Motives Three
motives the speaker would combine; first,
profound convictions as to this present sinful
and perishlng world; second, convictions es
to the superabounding riches of divine grace;
command, the personal trust, and
the personal responsibility, all con-
centrated in loyalty to the per-
sonai present Christ. Then he would
disciple but in many united disciples, who
are filed with the same spirit and animated
by the same purpose. The speaker made
reference TO the self sacrificing work of the
missionaries. He closed with fervenU ap-
peal praying that God would hasten the time
when INSTEAD OF :, ,0u0 missionary volunteers
out of an evangelical church membership in
our land OF over 10000, 100 we should be
ashamed Of anything less than twice that
number"
DR.. Fiske, of the Chicago Theological sem
mary. made an interesting talk on general
subjects. Rev DR.. Magoun. president of the
Grnnel college, To-, spoke for moment or
two upon the necessity of invigorating and
yivifying the mission work. The next thing
in order was the paper of Rev. n. g. Clark,
Of Boston, one of the home secretaries. Its
subject was: Higher Christian Educa-
stion as Related to Foreign Missionary
Work. DR.. Clark's paper vast thor
oughly practical, and OF great in
terest to all who sympathize with missionary
z work. He dwelt upon the imp ortanee of
selecting men and women of high culture to
do mission work. Dr.. Clark thought il was
better to leave men in the darkness Of heath
enism than TO introduce them to the vices
of modern civilization without its virtues.
1.-THE truth is our civilization is in advance
of our Christianity said Dr.. Clark. Ed
ucation here, education there. education
without God and without revelation of his
love and Grace is the kind in demand the
world over. This kind of education the
church must meet with strenuous efforts to
establish institutions of the highest grade,
and imbued with the spirit of the gospel
Rev. DR.. Judson Smith, of Boston, foreign
secretary of the board, read the last paper
of the morning. 1t was entitled 1.-THE Mis-
rionary Outlook DR.. Smith noted some of
the signs which appear in the foreign field.
Christianity was coming to be the dominant
religion of the world. Statistics disclosed
the fact that the adherents of Christianity
already outnumber those Of any other re-
Ggious faith upon the glope. The nominally
Christian peoples of the world are reckoned
at 450, ,000,OGu while the Buddhists, who
come nearest in point of numbers, are only
390,0O0, 900.

REvIsIoNIsTs AT ODDS.
No Two Appear to Have the Same
Opinions.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 9.-At to-day's
meeting of the committee on the re-
vision of the Westminster confession of
faith, DR.. K. r. Booth. of New York.
and Elder NJ. ii. Stratton, of New Jer-
sey, were selected TO take the places of
the two members who resigned last
Wednesday. A resolution was passed
accepting the invitation of Judge Strong
to hold the next meeting in the Church
of the Covenant in Washington. 1t
will commence Feb. 4, 1891. Dr. Moore
expressed the opinion tonight that the
committee will adjourn next Monday.
This is necessary in order that some
of the members may attend the sessions
of their synods. To-day was devoted to
consideration of the Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh chapters. No
formal action has been taken, and it is
not now likely that there will be vote
at this meeting of the committee. The
members were permitted to discuss mat
tiers freely to-day. The opinions diff
fered as widely as those of the synods
they represent. 1t is feared this will
cause confusion when action is taken. and
the president thinks it is advisable to
give plenty of time for discussion be-
fore attempting to vote. Expressions
on section 3, OF article 3, reading as fol-
lows: ''By the decree of God some men
and angels are predestinated unto ever
lasting life, and others foreordained
to everlasting DEATH" were re-
ceived from thirty-eight presbyteries.
Three favored omissions, ten
revisions; nine insertions of various
kinds, and sixteen the omission of the
last clause. When chapter four was
reached a number of scientific Dapers
were read, asking for the elimination of
this clause, stating that the earth was
created in six days. The opinion
seemed to prevail that the six days
mentioned in the Bible refers to six
periods of time, and the section will
probably be changed to express that
idea.

Special to the Globe
KAssoN, Oct. 9.-With a great -four
ish of small bills the Republicans an
nounced that the ''live issues of the
campaign will be discussed by R. R.
Odell, of Minneapolis, and E. A. Jag
gard. of st. Paul, at this place on
Wednesday evening, the Sth." The bill
also announced that ''v0ters should
post themselves on pending issues, and
this will prove rare opportunity -
The speakers appeared as per pro-
gramme, and were honored by fair
sized audience, very largely composed
OF our Intelligent farmers, who were
grossly insulted and the entire audience
thoroughly disgusted. Mr.. Jaggard
made rambling TRADE of an hour,
without pith or point. and when he at
tempted to speak of the tariff he showed
his utter ignorance of the subject,
which is evidently too deep for his com
prehension. Referring to the farmers,
he remarked that they could do very
well on small scale and with a few
hundred dollars, possibly, but were
entirely incapable of great things,
and, with a great flourish, cried !:
What would they do trying
to handle two or three millions of dol
lars or running great government like
ours" This our farmers took as direct
insult to their entire class, and the very
young man had evidently forgotten he
was speaking to farming community,
and that some of our greatest and best
men we1e, and had been ''tillers of the
SOIL" He assayed TO speak of the
Southern question, and commenced !:
Now look at the Southern question.
Now we must all admit that if we lived
down South we would all be Democrats, ~
at which the whole audience broke forth
in boisterous applause, which was but
feebiy responded to when he tried to
correct himself of his honest assertion.
he audience felt relieved when he took
his seat, but were, if possible, more dis
appointed in the speec of Mr. Odell,
which followed. Mr.. Odell as a story
teller is a success, but as a platform
orator sorry failure. and had no points
even when trying to apply his stories.
The whole affair was a disgusting fail
ure so far as discussion of the issues
is concerned. This morning there is no
end to the expressions of disgust by the
Republicans. and if they will only keep
such speakers before the people it is
safe to say Gov. Merriam will not be re-
elected. At the close Miss Mcdonald

Home secretary's Reply.

DR.. E. K. Allen. the home secretary. at
whom DR.. Walkers denunciations were
hurled, arose to reply. In the beginning he
SAID, in reference to the charge of inter-
ference:
Careful investigation in relation to mis-
sionary applicants before their cases are pre-
sented to the prudential coIamittee is one of
the trusts committed by the bylaws of the
board to the home secretary"
That method, he said, had been followed
for over fifty years with the best results
Then he went on, growing warmer as he pro-
ceeded, and accusing the committee of nine
of having acted unfairly and unjustly in
condemning the home secretary and the
prudential committee without giving them a
hearing. He declared that the committee of
nine had refused to give him hearing and
had declined to view the evidence which he
had prepared. They even declined to look at
his books, and when the home secretary fin
lshed tears were flowing from his eyes and
his voice was choked
DR.. Quint denied that the committee OF
nine had refused to look at Alden's books
They went farther back than that and Sc
cured information from an equally reliable
source.
President Storrs here suggested an amend
ment TO the fourth resolution relative to the
examination OF candidates. It wac adopted.
