FOR CONVERSION OF THE HEATHEN
Baptist Missionaries Meet in the
North Rantist Church.

A Missionary rally was held in the
North Baptist Church yesterday after
noon and evening. The Rev. E. H.
Chivers. Secretary of the American
Baptist Missionary Union, presided at
both meetings. In the afternoon the
speakers were the Rev. j. A. Francis,
the Rev. G. F. Thornasen and Mornay
Williams.
At the evening session the Rev. DR..
Mabie. Home Secretary of the Baptist
Union. Iectured on missionary work in
the Asiatic Missionary Field" DR..
Mabie spent several years In China,
Japan. Asia and other Eastern lands,
and is thoroughly familiar with the
people of those countries. He spoke of
what has been accomplished in those
lands. especially in China. The eyes
of many large nations were now kept
on China. he said, owing to the rapid
strides made in commerce. From Hong
Kong 10000 vessels sailed every year,
$500 of which are ocean going steam
ships. OF the later number 5000 were
British. In India there were 10000
miles of railway, all but eighty miles of
which had been built since 1858. Back
In 1852 there was not a steamship owned
in Japan. Now there were 700.

to distribute among the people. The
speaker told of the Catholic missionary
who for thirty years has been living
among the Chinese, compiling a diction-
airy SO that those who follow hin could
more easily impart to the people the
knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Bible.
Last year the Chinese purchased 1,00G, :
900 tracts for distribution non their
Continuing. Mr.. Mabie said that in
China there We're $50 self-sustaining
churches. and in Asia there were 100, 00O
converts to Christianity. 1t took fifty
years to get the first 500 converts in
China. but in the last ten years $4,000
had been won over to the cause of
Christianity. I'm conclusion DR.. Mabie
denied that missionary work in those
countries had been a failure. If it had
been then the United States had been a
failure; so had sunshine and the law of
gravitation been failures.
The Baptist Union needs $500, 900 with
which to carry or the work during the
coming year, and he made an earnest
appeal to all present to contribute to
the fund.

pastor of st. Lucy's, also made an adj
dress. He said his connection with the
parish had convinced him that the peo-
pie were liberal. He told them of the
happiness they would derive from a new
and handsome place of worship. and he
concluded by advising all to go all over
the city and work to make the fair a
success.
Father Mclaughlin was preparing to
leave the platform when he was stopped
by Father Boy1an.

buttons was a purse containing a goodiy
amount of money; Father McLaughin

SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 20, 1s95.-Some-
thing hitherto unheard of, in the history
of New Jersey at least, occurred in this
township Monday, when thirty pupils of
the public schools deliberately closed
their books, proceeded with them to the
principals desk. and walked out on a
strike. 1t was in Springfield School No.
l, which stand on the corner of West
field avenue and the Midtown Road. The
school authorities, the Springfield Board
of Education were d~umbfounded when
they heard of the pupils action and are
at a loss how to act.
The trouble arose from the determine
ton of the Board OF Education to trans
fer a number of pupils to a school in an
out of the way district. Pupils say they
are acting on the advice of their par
ents. who will keep them at home rather

OUR attention is attracted simultane-
ously to the stupid ignorance of the "Ad-
vertiser,s' editorial columns. We find
this in its issue of Saturday
The cry of Caesarism was raised by the
New York Herald in 1876 against a re-
nomination of General Grant for a third
term. 1t was carried into the National
Republican Convention. where Roscoe
Conkling. the Rupert of the Republican
party, at the head of the 306, vainly bat
tied for a third. term. Rutherford 3.
Hayes was nominated, and the third
term principle was declared to be settled.
General Grant was nothing more than a
civilian at the time.
The Republican party must feel real
proud of an editor who thinks the
fight of Roscoe Conkling and the SO6
took place in 1876 and eliminated in the
nomination of Rutherford B. Hayes, and
who further informs US that Ulysses S.
Grant was a private citizen in 1876.
Little Mister Frank Evans ought to
buy a primer of history.

SECRETARY CARLISLE. in his speech
at the New York Chamber of Commerce
dinner, last night. said nothing new. But
what he said was SO important that IT
cannot be said too often
If this policy of redemption and re-
Issue is continued the interest-bearing
debt viii be greatly increased, while the
non-interest bearing debt will not be In
the least diminished. The disadvantages
of such a system are so obvious thai II
is hardly necessary to enumerate them.
The Government has undertaken to keep
an unlimited amount of circulating notes
equal in value to gold coin, and, at the
same time, it has no legal authority to
compel anybody to give It gold IN eX,
change for the notes or to a gold on
any demand due to it. The obligation
is all on one side. and the power is all
ON the other.
Here is the story of our financial m
barrassment in a nutshell.
