Treaty Rights of Missionaries.

Apropos of current events In China,
it may not be inopportune to recall the
various steps by which the position OF
English missionaries in the Yellow En-.
pire was secured. First came clauses
in the English treaty Of Tien-tsin, liz
1858. guaranteeing the personal safety
of missionaries, and declaring that IL
they ACC lired land at the treaty ports
and certain other places the agreement
should be made without exactions on
either side" The French treaty of 1865

Gated passports in the interior, and also
by clause--said to have been surre;,
titiously permitted thars
TO purchase land and erect buildings lin
the provinces" OF this clause English
missionaries came in time to get the
conventional benefit, and the imperial
seal TO their status and that of the
missionaries of other countries was
given by an edict In 1891, WHICH. after
declaring the right of foreign mission
aries TO promulgate their religion in
China" directed the authorities under
the strongest sanctions to protect then
and their conyerts.-Law Journal.

At the home of Mrs. Kearney,
Tuesday afternoon the Missionary
ladies of the Methodist church
gave a Mother Goose Thimble
Tea" which was a success every
way. One of the interesting fea-
lures Of the entertainment, was
that of the guests solving the prob
lem of matching quilt pieces double
T's while sweet strains of music
were beautifully rendered by Misses
Peters, Mathews, Choice, johnson
and Williams. which did much to
Tighten and fill with JOY the hearts
of the thimble workers. Had our
Grandmother been present this
would have proven indeed novel
feature.
At 8 o'clock the guests were
ushered into the dining room which
was prettily decorated for the occa.
sion. The guests at the table were
furnished with cards upon which
was written a verse of our Mother
Goose rhymes. transposed to sui
the evening, and as the hour drew
near for parting each of US coulC
but feel that our genial hostess
had drawn US nearer together ant
had bound the ties of loving re-
membrance to herself. We hope
this is but the beginning of many
like pleasant occasions.

The Powell Picnic.

The fraternity barbecue and
picnic given at Powell last
Wednesday was a decided success.
1t was under the auspices of the
Masons, Odd Fellows and Wood
men and was one of the most
orderly and we'll conducted affairs
of the kind ever seen in this sec
ton. Everybody was we'll dressed
and we'll. behaved aud there was no
fake gambling of any description.
The fraternity members met at
the church and marched TO the
grounds in a body, where Rev.
Walker Morris opened ceremonies
with PRAYER, followed by singing.
Rev. Morris then delivered joint
address to- the Sunday school chill
dren and Odd Fellows. E. A
Walker of Ardmore then delivered
an address on Woodcraft, and was
followed by other speakers.
When the dinner hour arrived
there was an abundance for every
one, the only unpleasant feature
being a shower of rain which tenn.
porarily drove the people to seel
shelter. Taken as a whole the
affair was most ENJOYABLE.
