Church Contributions and "iIalf Time. "

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The great cry from the pulpits
these days is: Lack of contributions to
carry the good work on; the Home Mis-
sionary society is in debt such an amount:
and the Foreign Missionary society is in
need of funds, and everyone of you ought
to contribute more" As a miner, voice
the sentiments Of the majority of miners
in this city in saying that we need more
to pay our debts than we can possibly earn
these days. The average earnings of a
miner do not exceed $50 a month through
out the year. Inquire, sir, what dainties,
what luxuries, a family of six can buy
with $50 month; and still the preachers,
like Oliver Twist, TASK for more
Our God is God of reason as well as a
God of love; and when the poor miner fails
to contribute towards Gods great work he
still stands as high in the estimation of
heaven as Jay Gould, who will build a
church to perpetuate his name, or as q
priest or preacher who will demand a
thousand dollars salary from poverty
stricken congregation. We send mission
aries into Africa, Japan and other foreign
countries to evangelize the savage, while
here. In the city of Scranton, dwell hun
dreds of persons who never hear a word
about God, except in an oath or a curse,
and still we want money to send mission
aries to the east to hold confabs with
Tipoo Tib and his brethren.
Charity should start at home" is n
good saying, and in my humble opinion,
missionary work should start at home,
too. Let us save Athens first and
Corinth afterwards" Yes, sir, let us al
leviate the suffering and succor the pov-
erty-stricken miner in this city first, and
the pagan afterwards. The word of God
is so dear these days that congregation
will have to pay from $500 to $4,000 to hear
q few sentences from it, while the Author
Himself bushes at the price charged for
the copyright. Yours respectfully,
George w. Bowen.

MR.. STURGES' TALK.
Describes What lie Saw in China, japan
and Ceylou.

Describes What He Saw in China. japan
and Ceylon.
The Sunday school rooms of the
Green Ridge Presbyterian church were
| crowded last night when II. B. Sturges
delivered the second of his series of
talks on His Trip Around the World"
illustrated by stereopticon. He
opened with few scenes of house life
in Japan, describing particularly the
difference between the Japanese and
Chinese. He showed the Holy Noun
tain of Japan, also views of pilgrim
ages to 1t.
He then described his voyage across
the Yellow Sea to China, and said that
there never was q more fit name on a
place than on this sea, for the blue
ocean Is lost in the yellow mud which
is carried down NY the rivers at the
rate of hundreds of tons annually, so
much SO that Shanghai. which was a
seaport a few years ago, is now four
teen miles inland, and he predicted that
at the present rate in a few hundred
years Japan and China will be united.
The main difference between the two
countries, especially the lower classes,
is in cleanliness, for while the Japs are
clean and neat in their personal appear
ance the Chinese are directly the oppo-
site. "'
The best portion of Shanghai IL the
foreign quarter. which contains about
three times as many fine build
ings as does Scranton, besides
number of parks. Another great diff
ference from the Japs is the style of
parks, for, while the Japs love nature
and cultivate it to the highest possible
extent, the Chinese love the grotesque
and arrange peculiar rocks. But when
China becomes Christianized it promises
to be the greatest nation, in all re-
spects, of the east, even rivalling
Japan, for they are honest and can
cultivate great degree of intelligence.
The greatest evil to overcome in their
education Is the fact that there is over
5000 characters in their language, maxi
ing it very difficult ITO learn.
Front China Mr.. Sturges went to
Ceylon and described the beauty and
grandeur of the tropics, but said that,
notwithstanding the cOnveniences
there In the way of having fruit for
the picking and rare beauty in nature,
there are also so many dangers, that
he would rather live in the temperate

Board Of Trade Members to Make a
Suggestion at Joint Meeting.
OWNERS SHOULD DO THE WORK
That Is What VIII Dc Advocated This
Evening Public Reception Tonight by
the Young Men Of Columbus Coun.
Gil Other Ncws Mention.

The meeting of the board Of trade last
night was an enthusiastic one; the best
meeting, in fact, held in many months.
Its object was to devise'a scheme to be
presented to the joint meeting at Young
Mems Christian association hall this
evening. The question was not can
vassed; that will be left for City Solici-
tor Torrey to express his views on this
evening.
In reference to the street repairing
problem the members decided to pre-
sent as the sense of the body that it
would be a good plan to have the prop
erty owners unitedly grade, repair or
do any work of improvement necessary.
The work would, of course, be done
under proper supervision. While the
South Side board of trade will not go
into the joint meeting with that plan
for a battle cry, still If no better one is
set forth, it is the aim of the members
to advocate it and submit 1t for any
wholesome notifications that may be
introduced or amended. 1t is the wish
of the members of the board that all
the merchants and prominent citizens
of the South Side should attend the
meeting at Young Mems Christian asso-
citation hall this evening.

Why lie Sued.

between the plaintiffs lawyer and the de-
fendant, q lady of Irish birth:
you admit that your husband requested
and even implored you to execute a deed
in his favor?''
"Yis, sor he did, and shwore at me,

"And you refused. point blank, to do SOP"
"Yis, sor, did. / toul him dade in me
