Utilizing the Methodist LAZY

Philadelphia Times.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, now
in session at Chicago, not only
admitted thu provisional lay dele
egates by a practically unani
nous vote. thus giving the lsity
equal power with the clergy in
the governing body of the great
Methodist denomination, but it
has at once utilized the lay bust
ness capacity Of the most promi-
nent delegates. The chairman of
the standing committee on Book
Concern is Governor Shaw, of
Iowa. The chairman of the COM
mittee on Church Extension is
John Field, of Philadelphia, and
the committee on the state of the
church IS Ex-Governor Robert
E.. Pattison. also of this city.
AS these important standing
committees will be in existence
for four years the significance of
these appointments will be read
lily understood. Practical busis
ness men will be at the head of
the three most important busi~
ness committees Of the confer
ence aud will be able to bring to
the management of the Book
Concern and to the Church Ex-
tension and other interests of the
denomination the benefit of their
business experience. AS their
lives have been devoted to the
solution of business problems,
there is little doubt that their ap.
pointment to the head Of these
important committees will be
productive of the best results.

One who has seen any OF the towns

that he recently went to Foo-Chow. a
town near the east coast, which is ap-

OF the most picturesque waterways in
the whole of the Celestial Empire.
Ships have to anchor at the custome
pagoda, from which persons are con-
veyed to Foo-Chow by sampan, or
steam launch, the distance being about
ten miles. Foo-Chow is considered one
OF the most filthy and overcrowded
towns in China. and person landing
there cannot fail to notice the fact i'm

erywhere there are teeming masses OF
dirty. ragged and half starved looking
Celestials. The streets (alleyways
would be better term) are only about
eight feet wide. and all motalled or
paved with irregular Jumps OF stone
and rock. On each side there are stag
nant gutterways, which emit most OBJ
noxious perfumes. causing one to hold

roads. In the terribly hot weather the
Chinaman places a plank of wood from
his doorway onto the street. across the
gutter, and takes his nights sleep. per-
