cept to uphold it by cultured men and
women.
A subscrlption of $500 was taken UP in a
! few moments with which to relieve the
church of Benicia of its Indebtedness.
The report of the Committee on Chinese
Missions sets forth that 5000 have been
| taught in the schools for a longer or shorter
! time, 1914 have been baptized and 800 girls
have been rescued from slavery They are
| difficult to reach because of their traditions
and the abuse received at the hands of the
| hoodlums. The character of the converts is
| such that they stand firm amid persecution.
| There is imperative need of evangelistic
services. No new people come now, and
those here must be reached by ggressive
movements. Sacramento. San Jose and
| Oakland have good schools. An infan t
| day school has been opened In the mis-
sion with success f. J. Masters was com
mended. The Woman's Missionary Society OF
|. the coast is also doing valiant service. A
| mission chapel in the heart OF Climate wn
was expressed as a necessity. DR.. Masters
said the Chinese exodus is going on rapidly
and has been for three yeats. Fifteen thou
| sand fewer Chinese are in the country now
| then there were three years ago; 80, 600
| fewer than there were in 1882. In few
| years there will be few Chinese in this
| country. 1t will be blessing TO the Chi
| nese who have Christian training, but many
| are worse for their coming. lntemperance
| and other vices are curslng them. In China
there are no drunkards. but at California they
are learning these things rapidly. England
| bombarded China to open market for
| her opium. France took some OF her terri
| tory. Twenty years ago China looked upon
| America as her friend. Now it has changed.
| We have wronged China. Still. in spite of
| all, Christianity is making progress in an
| encouraging way.
The conference adjourned at 9:30 o'clock
Conference met at 10 o'clock this morn
| ing. The Epworth League, an organization
! OF the young people of the church, is pro-
| crossing favorably for a new organization,
