IN Address on Chinese Mission Work

The parlors of Central Union church

interesting and instructive paper on
the birth and progress of Christianity.
Following this Mr.. Foster was intro

brief account of his meeting with
the Chinese nation on several occa-
sions, and then said:
"When in China l saw great deal
of Christian missionary work. 1t was
my pleasure to visit the missions at
Peking, Canton, Shanghai, Foo Chow,
Honkow and other large cities. l was
struck with the success of the Ameri-
can missions in China. Firm footholds
have been gained in the cities and the
work is being pushed into the inter-
Tor. Indeed, American work over
there is more hopeful than ever be-
fore.
"The Chinese are today perhaps the
most receptive race in the world.

BY AUTHORITY.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE RE-
PUBLIC OF HAWAII:
A PROCLAMATION.

A year of peace and prosperity calls
for gratitude to the Ruler of Nations.
Freedom from disaster and pesti-
lence, from local discord and foreign
menace during the past year has given
the country needed opportunity for
the development of policies looking to
the furtherance of public interests.
Favorable seasons have rewarded in
dustry and enterprise with bountiful
returns.
In view of these and countless other
blessings which have been bestowed
upon us, 1, Sanford b. Dole, President
of the Republic of Hawaii, recommend
that Thursday, the goth day of this
present month of November, be set
apart as a day of National thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God, and of prayer
for the righteousness that exalteth 2
~Qation and the national strength that
c0Speth from character in the indi-
-tyidhal.
