missionaries would only study medicine
they would not have to depend on for

are 5000 volunteers in America for the
missionary field, and not enough money
can be raised to seEd one-tenth of them.
Our society will h&p physicians only to
60 to China.
my wife and I go far into the inte-
rior, where no hospital has ever been
established, and before attempting to
convert the Chinese we will first try to
cure them Of disease. For a year we
have been studying the Chinese Ian
guage. DR.. Pail Pollock, who has lived
in China five years, will accompany us. J"
DR.. Pollock said: 1--WE shall take
along an opium cure, as three-fourths of
the men, women and children Of China
use the drug, which Christian England
has forced upon them at the noint Of
the bayonet. The Chinese demand some
thing more than doctrine, and will listen
to those who heal their bodies. The

Again Public Printer Benedict appeals to
the representatives Of the people in Con-

vent q catastrophe in which hundreds of

There is unspeakable patlios in the simple

gest TO relieve the II street wing of weight
aud yibra ton. which might cause IA COL
lapse. And again lie urges that land be
purchased sufficient for the erection Of a
building to which the contents of the II
street wing may be removed.
1t is quite probable that as soon as the
committees have been announced by
Speaker Reed, and perhaps even before
that time, some bill or bills may be intro
duced for the purchase of site. 1t is
also quite probable that the same wrangle
