EFFECT OF THE UPRISING.
Former Consul at Ticn-Tsin Thinks Ii
Will Undo All Missionary Work.

VIII Undo All Missionary Work.
SAN FRANCISCO, June He. I. Shep-
hard, for eight years American Consul at
Tien Tsin, and who was present during
the massacre of Christians in 1915, said
to-day that in his opinion the present sit
uation in China is more grave for Chris
tianity than any previous crisis. He said:
The uprising of the Boxers means the
destruction Of all that has been accom-
plished by the Christian Church in China
for the past sixty years. In fact, il means
more. During those long years the mis-
sionaries have done much in planting the
seed for civilization, and they have made
many converts. The latter are being
slaughtered by hundreds by the Boxers.
As a result OF this massacre the Chinese
will abandon all Christian beliefs, and it
will perhaps take half a century to again
win them back into the Christian
Churches. The Chinese are a very tinid
people, and wnen tney reallze tnat
strong party Is gaining influence and
power, they rush like children to it.

Skagwav Lodge, No, ADJ, B. P. o. E.,
took place last night after the regular
meeting of the lodge, Frank N. Sessions
being the lucky winner of the prize with

Burt Johnson was the original holder of
the ticket and the fact that he had dis

causing him much thought TODAY.
Just before the opening of the lodge
Sessions remarked that he had neglected to
purchase ticket, and expressed a desire to
procure one.
Burt johnson, who was sitting near,
and who had purchased ten tickets, threw
one of them over to Sessions. This ticket
proved to be the lucky one of the 100.
While Mr.. johnson is a little disap-
pointed, of course, he saws Frank is &c cd
fellow and he does not begtudge him his
good luck.
