a sort Of secondhand acquaintance that
he had gained from seeing those servants

SECOND CLASS, !.(NIGHT.)
LECTURE ON CHINA.
Address by Rev. D. w. LeLacheur a
Vaughn Street Church.

Rev. D. W. LeLacheur lectured last
evening in his former pulpit at the
Vaughan street church on China and the
work of the alliance along this mission
airy lines.
The speaker began by comparing the
size Of China with the other nations of
the globe and went on to show the in
sufi cheney Of laborers for the mission
fields.
sThe women he said, fare the ne
elected. despised and oppressed people Of
the empire. The difference between the
conditions of the people OF America and
those of China is largely that the Ameri-
can women have the gospel Of Christ to
look to. while the Chinese are believers
in the worship of idols. There are AGO.
900 baby girls killed every year in China,
simply because they are girls. The GUS
toms among the Chinese as regards ths
binding of the feet of the women was
described.
"The needs of China are great. There
are AZ missionary societies represented
in the empire and 1851 missionaries,
which means missionary to every 10. :
600 of the people. The greatest hind
rance todsy in China as regards CONVEX
sion to Christianity is because of their
belief in ancestral worship.
lin China they have God for every
class of business and for all
kinds of diseases and to these gods
the people devoutly pray. The impe-
rial emblem is the dragon, and the
dragon is worshipped by all CLASSES, but
the imperial authorities worship the
dragon with five toes instead of four as
do common people,
The speaker then exhibited some Of the
gods worshipped.
The lecture was full of interest
throughout and tho speaker held the at
tent1on OF the congregation to the close.
Tomorrow evening at z. 80 and Sunday
evening the lecturer will talk about
China, the routes and modes of travel
adopted by the missionary, as also the
am CUNT of work being done.
The lecturer also announced that the
costumes of the Chinese would be ex-
hibited and worn in two following leot-
| ures.

The Political situation.

We observe that none of the prumi-

estimates of the electoral vote for
each party in November. are putting
the Republican majority at a large
figure. Thc"GIohe-n Democrat in a ia

fourteen mere than the 22i necessary

cratic. Pnpulist and doubtful columns

The divisions and estimates made

not differ materially from this. All
