OUTLOOK IN CHINA.

The way of the Chinaman, like that
of any other transgressor. is hard. He
is between the devil and the deep sea.
For years his government has been
threatened by internal explosion and
external attack. To antagonize the
powers means war and the spoliation
Of the kingdom. To antagonize the
political and religious maraude:s of
The interior is to forfeit their support
in the event Of international conflict
If China yields TO the demands of
the powers in reference to concessions
of power and grants of territory, that
which che public holds most sacred
win be surrendered to Drofane invad-
ers. If the government refuses, It will
be taken anyhow.
Tnose who realize this have organ
ICED an assassination club and are
known as the Boxers. Their object is
to rid China OF the foreign devils"
who tramDle on their rights, customs
and traditions and threaten the very
life Of the empire itself.
Integrity of Chinese territory has
seen destroyed gradually by the great
powers 1t is no longer anything but
a fiction. The consequence is that the
people are calling for vengeance, not
only on foreigners. but on the govern
ment, which has HSeen powerless to
resist the encroachmelts Of other ma
tons A war with China would be re-
grettable. Not only is the empire too
old and decrepit to justify a half dozen
worlds powers doing battle with her,
but the inevitable result would be q
universal conflict between the nations

During the month Of June thousands
of young men and women are sent
forth from the higher institutions of
learning throughout the country to
supplement and ultimately to supplant
the older heads and hands Which are
keeping the professional and mercan-
tile worlds in motion.
Every year there is a growth of in

part of graduates which shows that

As he spoke. the Old Sport slid his gun
into a capaeiOus hip pocket. The FACT
that he had left all his cartridges on the
table didh't seem to occur to him, Sc
great was his haste. and he was soon lost
in the Main street crowd, as he hurried
toward the joint building.

the colleges and universities are not
only turning out scholars, but men
and women. These young people. as
a rule, begin at once to look for some
thing to do. for some line of useful
ness to pursue. They evince more and
more a dissemination to depend upon
their parents or guardians for the for
nation OF political or economic con-
victions which may have an influence
on their lives and fortunes. The trend
of modern education seems to be TO
emancipate them from the old-time
restraint upon leadership in mart or in
forum. If the young man and woman
of today, whose education has led them
to the door Of practical experience,
feels equal to the task of leadership.
they may aspire to lead. If their abil-
tiles are equal to their ambition they
WI succeed.
The thousands who enter the field
of duty and opportunity this year,
UPON their exit from college life, the
hundreds who expect to take adj
vantage Of the political tournament of
the season to embark upon public
career, viii have reason to thank the
institutions which have equipped them
for the battles in which they engage.
It has been said that "a college edu-
cation is merely the index OF an en-
cyclopedia of general knowledge It
is an incentive to seek knowiedge. Il
is a stimulanC to achieve something in
actual life and experience. 1t is not
enough to know-one should act
knowledge is an excellent thing to
have, but the possessor should have a
lnack of using it for his own good
and for that of mankind
knowledge is a great deal; its APP
plication is the rest.

The absence of bells in Mormon meet
ing houses has long occasioned COM
ment. There is now movement on
foot To abolish the bell in other church
es. Rev. George W. Stone of Kansas
City, through the New York Tribune,
says: THE crusade begun in some Am
erican cities against the ringing of the
church bell that calls worshippers to-
gether should have the support of
Christians as well as of those who are
the avowed enemies of the church. I
take the stand that the ringing of the
church bells IN a city is un-Christian-
ike, and a survival Of an age that saw
the stupid practice inaugurated because
there were no better means at hand of
notifying the congregation that the
time for church service had arrived"
