The United States consul at Annoy, China,
says in a recent dispatch to the state de-
partment that "the Chinese people prefer
American cotton fabrics. spinnings. flour
oils. canned goods and meats, and even
buy them at higher prices than other I'M
portations can be had for" He also SAYS
"there Is a more amicable feeling existing
between the natives and foreigners at
Annoy and in the surrounding country than
probably exists at any other port in China" ;"
He thinks the rapid increase of trade be-
tween the United States and this part of
China should command the attention of
American merchants and Of the United
States government.

MKINLEY BEGINS POOR.
William Mckinley is called a poor man.
His modest home in Canton Is far from
being a mansion. He has kept house only
a short time. He has no fortune, and
may not be comfortable"
He has now four years to serve in the
White House. How long before he will
have a country home outside Washing
ton? How long before he will own a box
somewhere along the Sorrento Lakes?
on his retirement will he not purchase
a very nice house in his favorite city and
dwell there. practising law or engaging in
some great occupation? 1t is safe iudg-
ing from the examples of his predecessors,
to say that he will never be a poor man
again.
The other five men present listened to
these arguments and nodded assent to
the end. Guess we don't treat our Presi-
dents so badly after all" said one. And
all agreed that it must pay to be President
of the United States.

Christian brethren CT any culture and
enlightenment Is against bigotry and ha-
tired for the greater glory of Cod They
are realizing that humanity is larger than
any special creed. and they hail the
growth of justice not liberation. the
spread Of peace and kindly cooperation

There is progress all along the line.
Shall we deny that the Jew. too, has adj
vanced. has thrown off some Of his super

Family religion Is the topic that Is not
touched upon as often as it should be in
the press or in the pulpit Nothing is
more important than that our homes
which are as truly divine as is the
Church. should be saturated with the
mind CT Christ. What are the conditions
of family religion? First OF all. the pa
rents must be sincere Christians. 1t is not
enough that one of them should have
faith. A goddess husband may utterly
nullify all the efforts of deyout wife:
and a goddess wife may destroy the whole

operation is necessary. unity of heart. OF

either husband or wife neglects or re-

CHRIST,S SYMPATHY.

Northern Christian Advocate.
In Christ the divine sympathy with hui
manity has been shown. In Him all the
innocent and trying conditions Of human
life have been haliowed ana glorifed.
Christ was a child, and Dy us divine in
fancy all childhood and motherhood are
blessed. He was laborar and IN Him
the workingman finds his dearest friend
and supreme hope. He was a sufferer.
and thereby becomes the comforter of all
who are in trouble He was tempted in
every point Ike as we are, though with
out sin. and IS therefore able tc help and
deliver all those who are tempted. He
broke the power OF death by tasting of it's
bitterness. The needs of our time, its
intellectual questionings, its special prob
lens, even its doubts. have led to a wider
and deeper conception of Christs sym

little. too, for his wife's popularity
brought horses and COWS into the White
House stables. and both Woodley and
Gray Gables farm were stocked with
choice prize animals. gifts TO Mrs. Cleve-
land and the children.
That is the financial record of the only
living man who has been President of the
United States two terms. His wealth
steadily increased with service TO his
country.
For the second point in his argument the
member of Congress took the case Of
Benjamin Harrison. Here is man who
has been President only once. When he
entered the White House he had a splen-
did name. descended from the grandfath-
er. who was also President OF the Unit
ed States. The name Of Harrison alone
had built up a fairly good practice at the
bar.
When Harrison entered the White
