DIR. POTTER DEPENDS CHINA.
BISHOP SAYS AMERICANS TREATMENT
OF CHINESE is A DISGRACE.

New-Haven, Conn. Jan. % (SpeciaD.-Bishop
marks on the attitude OF the Christian nations
in China, in the course of sermon on missions
at st. PauTs Church tonight. Bishop Potter
placed the blame for the present troubles in
China on the unchristian conduct OF Christian
travellers. tradesmen. promoters and bankers in
China. He exonerated the missionaries. and
said that their work was mostly above criticism.
He said in part:
II | were called upon tonight to hold brief
for either of the two great contestants in the
present struggle between China and the Powers
should choose IN favor of China. In my Opin-
ion. should be ashamed of ourselves for our
treatment of the Chinese. We have trampled
their most sacred traditions. We have ridi-
culed and scoffed at their gods. we have laughed
at their ancestor worship. Is 1t any wonder that
the Chinese have risen againt us? Our treat
ment of the Chinese has been disgrace to our
religion. and should despise ourselves for IT,
We have sent men over there who are not
Christians. but savages. and who have trailed
the name of Christian in the dust
What need to do first OF all is to convert
convert the Chinese. We must do this before
we can ever be successful in our missions. We
should create public sentiment that will raise
UP our whole treatment of the Orientals. In
stead of sCoffing at their gods. let show them
a better one in our Christianity. Let us
treat them like brothers Our tradesmen have
gone there to get what they could mission
tradesmen and travellers have been at the bot
tom of all the trouble in China, and their saw
agery has caused all the trouble Let US con-
vert them here at nome.

suffering from typhoid pneumonia but the
friends Of the family declare that the position in
which his has been placed through his con-

been a citizen of Paterson almost all his life
He is wealthy, and well known. His sons too
were prominent. one OF them having attained
considerable reputation a lawyer and Judge
When George ]. Kerr became involved in the
Bosschieter case his father aged rapidly and
became feeble. He kept up until the trial OF
the three who were jointly accused with
his son. The conviction OF these men were a
shock to him. and il is said that he became con-
vinced that while his son might escape with less
severity than the other three men he could not
escape entirely He grieved deeply but silently
and when stricken few days ago he was not
strong enough 10 fight off the disease, and he
has been steadily sinking. Tonight the attend
