Or CHISA--The lecture Of Rev Suuder-
land at the Saptist Church. last Right. on
China was of particular interest on account
of the present war. Several of the steTe-

presented one idea that in Z measure ac-
counts for TIE Chinese disasters. They have
no railroads and do evsry thing BY hand,
even the getting out coal, and hence their
supply Cor war vessels is always inadequate
and some of tM vessels failed entirely to
WORK. This war will 90 one thing. that Is.
make the Cinnamon build railroads and
get out of their old rut. Two or three cf
the views presented were CT Sui Fui, where
Eey and Mrs Hill are located. and several
of the Yangtse Kiang, on which they nav
igated to that distant inland city. The
address was entertaining ana was appeasi-
ated by all.
