REVNALS FOR CHINESE.

tival.
Ten Heathens Were Converted in
Methodist Mission Chapel Monday
Evening.

Chinatown is at present enjoying its
own season OF religious revival. Monday
evening Rev. +. ]. Masters and Rev. Chan
Hon Fan, followed by number of Chinese
converts, marched to the corner of Wash
ington street and Waverly place and
preached the Gospel to the passing pagans.
Rev. Mr.. Masters, who for ten years was a
missionary in China, and who speaks the
Chinese language fluently, first addressed
the Mongolians. He explained to them
the religion OF Christ, and endeavored to
show them the fallacy OF the doctrines
they considered true and sacred.
The minister's remarks were not with
out effect. He had always believed the
Chinese to be stolid phIegmatic race. but
when the revlvallsts returned to the Meth
odist mission a goodly number OF the
queued listeners followed and entered the
chapel.
Rev. Chan Hon Fan addressed the con-
greGation inside the chapel, concluding
his sermon by asking all those who
wished to accept the religion of Christ to
step forward. Without hesitation eight
young Cinnamon ana two Chinese girls
arose from their seats and went to the
front. Here a prayer was offered and
then bits of paper, on which were printed
number OF Chinese characters, were
handed the converts for their signatures.
Translated the paper reads:
desire to fee from the wrath to come. de-
sire also 10 give up my evil life aud obtain
salvation through Jesus the Christ, and I vol
unfairly set my name TO this paper 10 indicate
my firm determination 10 turn from sin to
righteousness and to study diligently the true
doctrine and TO accept Jesus Christ as my
Savior.
The converts read the papers, hurriedly
signed them and then knelt in prayer.
II took courage on their part to do it.
This the ministers knew and SO they en-
couraged them as best they could.
The revival will continue during the
week and undoubtedly many heathens
will accept the true doctrine before it is
over.

justices Would Name Their Clerks

The bill for clerks for the Justices court
means that the Justices want to name their
own clerks. This would take so much
patronage from the Board of Supervisors, but
it is urged that the plan would enable the
Justices To have their respective docke Is
made up regularly; also that the clerks would
be absent from the main Office only while the
Justices were holding court and would there
after do work in the main Office One more
than the present number of clerks only is
needed TO carry out this plan.
