many instances abandoning foreignized city

REV. VIZ. GIBSON.
Rev. VIM. Gibson. B.A., Of Paris followed DR..

notwithstanding colored man and his address
was one OF the most eloquent of the evening.
de said that the interest taken in the question
Of missions WAS one Of the most hopeful ngns
Of the times. The beleaguered walls Of the
city OF SIN must soon crumble to dust. An
armed and militant Methodism Is standing out
side battling with force and strategem, and
soon even the darkness Of darkest England be-

the evening was Arnished by the next volun-

town. Nj, a missionary to Japan. Al he came
up to the railing he carried in his hand n
Japanese hymn book. He suggested that il his
hearers had Japanese ears lie would sing them
q japanese song. At this there was q general
demand that he should sing anyhow, and he
did. The song was in no respect like anything
often heard in this city, and the wild quaint
strains were listened to with great interest DR.
Dawson concluded his i've minutes with q few
remarks a. to the necessity for sending picked
and trained men and women into the mission
AIRY fields. The time has long passed when one
could maintain that anybody would do for a
missionary. There is the greatest necessity for
men of the highest class intellectually and
physically to take up this class OF work. There
were number OF other speakers who took adj
vantage OF the fve-minute rule to speak upon
various phases OF the mission problem. Among
these speakers were Mr.. Morgan Harvey, Rev.
David Hill and DR.. Junker Of Germany, the
last Of whom spoke interestingly Of the status
of Methodism in his country.

Talk With Rev. Lloyd Jones--The Ques-
ton OF Disestablishn,ent.
The Rev. E. Lloyd Jones, one of the promi-
nent delegates to the ecumenical conference,
was born in Wales in lS45 and has been for
twenty-one years in the Wesleyan ministry
He was for two years q student in Didsbury
College and hns since held appointments in
several towns. The state of his health has
made 1t impossible for him for some time past
to take the regular work OF circuit. though
be has not ceased to preach and lecture. MIR.
Jones has many oratorical gifts which have
given him wide popularity in the pulpit
and on the platform. He is an impassioned
advocate Of what are commonly called ad-
vanced views. While himself holding the
essence of the evangelical theology he is in ia
ver of the utmost freedom of thought which a
church can possibly allow. All that tends to
obiiterate the distinction Of ministers and lay
men Is grateful to him. He once described
himself as half minister and half layman, the
latter the better half. Tie political views OF
Mr.. Jones are pronounced. He is an ardent ad.
vocate OF the aisestablfshment of the Church of
England. the abolition Of the house OF lords.
the extension OF the franchise to women. and
aIl proposals tending to alleviate the lot Of the
laboring man. he has SO distinguished himself
as political speaker that he has been invited
TO become candidate for parliament by four
constituencies. In spite of many differences a.
